Sean Connery is not an actor, he's a movie star.
Yesh, I am a British shecret agent. Bond, Jamesh Bond.
Yesh, I am a Shoviet Shubmarine captain. my name is Ramiush. Marco Ramiush.
Owen "Wow" Wilson
The rock "the rock" the rock johnson
But you must admit that he's hilarious at it.
His whole deal was pretty funny for a few weeks in the early 2000s.
Seth Rogan. Worst Donkey Kong possible.
hes too lazy to act in anything else. he just wants to be a movie star. bautista and cena is trying to become an actor. apparently DWAYNE behind the scences thats his contracts and it rubbed people the wrong way.
I honestly really enjoy cena in the stuff he’s in
Cena's been surprisingly skilled. From psych to peacemaker he's been bringing it.
His hands are hilariously huge. I watched that forest firefighter movie he was in and laughed every time he used a cellphone.
"I dislike that you enjoy someone else's work" - Somebody else on Lemmy
Less than a year ago, he starred in a Safdie-directed, A24-produced biopic which earned him a couple of acting award noms, including a Golden Globe. Granted, it was the biggest flop of his career (so far), but from what I understand his acting chops were not the movie's problem.
Ryan Reynolds. There were some other movies but once he was in Deadpool, I feel like his whole personality was sarcastic mean funny guy
He was him even back in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place.
He was already kind of heading that way before Deadpool. I rewatched Buried and he was still doing that, just with less references so he didn't sound like Gex.
he was in wolverine the 2009 one as wade. hes pretty much the same thing as in deadpool just slighty less loudmouth. he did play that wierd schizophrenic character in the one movie that nobody remembers.
He did a weird indie film called "The Nines" he can turn the chops on when he wants to. I find it hard to criticise those people because "Hey, want to earn millions of dollars doing this the easy way? Or you can go do some passion projects to prove a point and make less." Is a damn awkward spot to be in.
Im sure we all like to think we would take the route of Sandler doing Uncut Gems, I love to think that was him just telling his haters to go fuck themselves. "Just because I dont, doesnt mean I cant"
What about actors who can't play themselves like Peter Sellers.
I see your Peter Sellers and I raise with Gary Oldman.
I feel like nowadays Jackson Lamb is probably pretty close
I love that show because of him. If greasy competence had a patron saint, it would be Lamb. If he could be arsed to take the job.
The writers on Slow Horses aren't too shabby either, but the delivery, man. Remember the "call this number" scene? I was in stitches.
Kevin Hart.
I scrolled through the entire thread down and back up, it's a bit of a shock that John Wayne was not mentioned even once... until now.
Tom Cruise
Eva Green's range includes smoking fags or not and getting up to sexual misadventures or not
Ricky Gervais is only ever Ricky Gervais
Eva Green
Sexual misadventures
Yeah I'm okay with this
Don’t forget the propensity for violence before/during/after said sexual misadventures and doing it all while goth coded. She’s made of a career of characters you can “fix” but also want to ruin your life.



TIL I need to watch more movies Eva Green has been in
the first two are 300 and dark shadows but don't recognise the third. penny dreadful maybe?
Was there a sequel to 300 I'm not aware of or do I just not remember that movie at all?
A two-part French remake of The Three Musketeers that came out a couple of years ago. Never got a wide release in the States but if you’re a fan of the story and period pieces it’s one of the best interpretations IMO.
cheers. if i'm a fan of cigarettes and smut what's the expected return?
I don’t recall any smoking. Not nearly as crazy violent as 300 (are we fighting, fucking, or both) and not nearly as crazy ex-gf who spent the last few hundred years plotting her revenge as she was in Dark Shadows. I’d put it squarely in an average outing with Eva- capable woman stuck in a period/system that doesn’t actually appreciate her capability even if it can’t deny it, she’s aware she’s smart and attractive and uses that to her advantage as she can, but she’s also more broken inside than she lets on.
This has made me realize it would be hilarious to watch her invert her typical characters and be the small town girl who moved the the big city where she got overworked and broken hearted only to come home for a Hallmark Christmas and find she always had what she needed waiting for her in a flannel clad handyman with a beat-up pick-up truck and slice of pie at the diner. The twist ending is that she’s actually nuts and this was all a ruse to burn her town to the ground.
i sincerely hope this is read by someone who can grant you your wish
Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas II: Home for the Holidays
It’s not like he’s do anything better, or anything other than sequels these days.
Jack Black.
I didn't know, he did a really good job as playing a teenage girl in Jumanji.
No, he was a different guy in "the big year" and also different in that movie where he's a funeral home director or something? He was southern? Based on a true story I think?
Steven Seagal
OP's question was about actors though
nobody mentioned, but Chris pratt, originally he was being casted in EVERYTHING. after parks and recs he has no range, hes just a sad moody pos irl too, supporting a alt-right church, and his sudden switch to evangelicalism. anne farris in an interview said he changed to a gymbo the moment he got buff for marvel/JP movies.
For the most part, Jason Momoa
that is true, he was the same person in SGA atlantis, in aquaman(atlantis), dune, and GOT. he was more entertaining when he started out in SGA.
Samuel L. Jackson is the first name to pop into my head upon reading the thread title.
Fining out Joe Pesci plays Joe Pesci in real life because he was originally a tough guy, not the usual NY Juliard alumni, made his movies pretty annoying for me. Highlight: him hosting SNL and threatening to smack Sinead O'Connor for her anti-pope statement made that obvious
Sucks that it's too late to stop quoting My Cousin Vinny
He seems like a try hard to me, someone who couldnt be - so just pretends
SEEMS PEOPLE who went to "mit version of music and theather" sure love to be boastful about going there. glenn is another juliard alumini, but i think he only fits in as an ISAIP comedy actor, and almost anything else he doesnt have range outside of that.(i remember mac is the one whos been wierdly promoting his juilard education as if it makes him a good actor). i think the school made him too rigid.
Glenn was good in Blackberry but it wasnt a million miles from home.
Tbh I love IASIP but with the exception of Charlie Day they all seem a bit egotistical and one note.
Charlie is a good VA and seems down to earth for the most part. Mac has a high opinion of himself and Gleen seems like he cant get past not being bigger. Kaitlyn is samey across things, IASIP, The Mick and High Potential.
The show is huge, they should be proud but I get the impression they love the success, hate having to keep doing it but know there isnt much more for them.
It sucks IASIP is groundbreaking but they are overly hollywood now for the show to be as good. Looking forward to thebnew season, hope to be proved wrong.
yea charlie is the best actor outside of them, besides danny devito. kinda like how supernatural went on too long, and jensen is trying to seperate himself from the "DEAN", thats why he had all this drama with jared, misha. hollywood might not be interested in thier "type of looks, despite thier large amounts of plastic surgeries and botox" plus the type of comedy they do probably rubs the "traditional hollywood peeps" the wrong way. isaip was big early pre-12, but after 13 it kinda became cringey, as they got older and cant relate anymore to younger age groups.
The cast looks bad for sure Mac has become a try hard, changing his name apeing Ryan Reynolds. Glenn is strange looking though some of that is makeup and filming style of the show. Kaitlyn is weird, they all say she is the besr actress but I cant see her in a serious role, a romantic role, a horrer. Literally nothing except one of the guys girl.
Charlie should have gone farther, the movie knocked him hard when he should have kept pushing.
