James McAvoy for me. X-Men first Class, Split, Speak No Evil, even Victor Frankenstein. If MCavoy’s name is attached to it, I’m probably going to see it. Charlize Theron is next. Mad Max: Fury road, Monster, and Kubo. Old guard… she acted her heart out, but it was okay in the end. (First post)
Michael Sheen. A fantastic proud Welshman who gave away his own money so the homeless World Cup could be held in Cardiff, and is now pouring his heart into the national theatre.
I’d love a drink or three with him.
Catherine O’Harra, Tilda Swinton, Gary Oldman, John Malkovich, Tom Hanks
There aren’t too many actors that will pull my interest just based on their involvement. Sam Rockwell, Gary Oldman and Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP) are the first that come to mind but I’m sure there are more. Does Tom Waites count?
My mom’s answer would be Walton Goggins, but I’d have to agree cause man that guy can change characters of a dime. From his crazy almost feral killer character from American Ultra, to his character from The Unicorn, to Vice Principals, to Fallout, the guy is damn near a chameleon.
Goggins is so hot right now and as a long time fan I’m absolutely here for it.
Vice Principals was so good, and it was incredibly disappointing that it got canceled. Righteous Gemstones does not scratch that itch for me, though Goggins as Uncle Baby Billy is just another character in what is a great showcase he’s put together. I feel like he kinda went under the radar for a bit and he’s getting his due now, and deservedly so.
Yeah, Goggins’ stole the show every damn time he was on screen in Justified. Great actor.
I loved this guy in atomic blonde. I do this more with directors. I’ll watch anything by Dennis Villeneuve or Quintin Tarantino
Viola Davis, Elizabeth Olsen, Jodie Foster
I’ll watch anything with Viola Davis. She tricked me into watching Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. It’s a great movie and she played the role really well, but that was a rough movie to watch.
These days, it’s Alan Tudyk for me. For movies and tv shows.
He has been in some of the most bizarre and ridiculous concepts, but he still always makes them a delight to watch, even as a supporting character.
I haven’t been disappointed yet, even if it’s bound to happen eventually.
My wife and I got into Resident Alien because of him. Dollhouse was the first thing I saw him in, so yeah he likes bizarre and ridiculous would be correct. I love his comedy in Resident Alien.
Christoph Waltz
My teeth are also kinda janky, so this is probably one of my favorite videos by anyone ever. I love the “your teeth are air-cooled” line too.
Tilda Swinton
Olivia ColmanGiovanni Ribisi
Dunno why
Mia goth, she’s in a bunch of a24 stuff and if she’s in it you know shits about to be get weird. Which is my jam
James mcavoy is a good call. I’d add Gary Oldman, Cate Blanchett, Judy dench, Adam Scott, Nathan Lane, Tim Roth, Saoirse Ronan, Brendan Gleason, Sharon Horgan. Used to be Robert DeNiro, ed Norton, Tina Fey. Hopeful up and comers. Sydney Sweeney, Anna Kendrick, Anna Camp, Christin milioti
Elizabeth Olsen.
I would’ve never expected to say this 17 years ago (don’t linger on that detail too long), but Robert Pattinson
My wife and I go on actor kicks, and RO was one not too long ago. Might have been spurred on by seeing The Lighthouse, but then it became let’s just watch what he’s done. I won’t watch Twilight, not my jam, but my wife watches it with our daughter, who is now team whatever, I dunno. But Good Time was a great recent flick that switched me from RP to Safdie movies in general.
If you’ve never watched The Rover, I would highly recommend it. Guy Pearce is excellent in it, but Pattinson’s performance really hit home that he can truly act.
I did. I’ll have to check, but I think I’ve seen a fatiramount of his post-twilight films. Like Radcliffe, he generally picks interesting projects, if nothing else
Cosmopolis, Good Time, High Life, and ofc The Lighthouse being some of them
Yeah High Life was a mad film, but he was great again.
Dude, seriously. For the longest time I only knew him as the vampire in Twilight (which I’d never even seen) and wrote him off immediately. Then I saw him in High Life and was like ‘Oh wait a minute, this guy is pretty good actually’. I even liked him in Batman. I’m glad he’s outgrowing his Twilight association.
Ah, the stigma and hatred around newly released fantasy romcoms targeted to women. Also the reinvention of the vampire that most people would probably wish had stayed in an obscure YA novel rather than become cinematic history.
I was always team Wolf but I developed an interest in real vampire culture because of Twilight.
Did you ever watch Remember Me? Part of me wishes I hadn’t. The unnecessary end hits like a wrecking ball
I liked Twilight 2, actually. Just happened to see it in the right moment that it worked for me. Never watched the rest of the series though
David Duchovny
Willem Dafoe
