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)
Elizabeth Olsen.
Tilda Swinton
Olivia ColmanViola 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.
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.
The Unicorn
Goggins as a trans woman in Sons of Anarchy stole the show even though this role had a total of like 3 minutes spread around in several episodes… the guy is awesome
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.
David Duchovny
Willem Dafoe
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.

Nathan Fillion
Watched everything he made without question until the rookie came out. Put off watching it for years but sad I did as it’s a great show!
Ryan Renolds
Sam Rockwell.
Rockwell and Bale in a buddy cop movie and I’m there opening night.
I too enjoy watching that particular Asian girl.
I loved him in Moon but haven’t seen anything else he’s been in. Got any recs?
Seven Psychopaths is hilarious, same director as In Bruges if you’ve seen that one.
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is one of my favorites. Despite the fact that I’m not usually a rom-com guy, I actually liked Mr. Right.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Heist (the 2001 film)
Easily in my top 5 films, and one that rewards rewatches.
Galaxy Quest
This should be required viewing. Such a bummer we lost Alan Rickman too early and missed put on a sequel.
Galaxy Quest is one of those movies that imo is perfect as-is, like we don’t need a sequel or else it would dilute it kinda thing.
Sam Rockwell is an awesome Zaphod Beeblebrox in The Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy.
Anna Karina and Christian Bale do it for me.
Jodie Whittaker.
Actually, there’s several people that I’d watch in anything (the nonsense I’ve watched specifically because of one person in it…) but she’s the current fixation and these lists tend to be populated by men.
Nicholas Cage
Well, not in his “I do anything to reduce my crushing debt” phase.
I agree.
But he is a legitimate talent. My favorite from him is “Joe.” Check it out.
He’s shooting Madden right now, which I’m super excited to see. It’s Nic Cage as John Madden and Christian Bale as Al Davis. Should be good.
I think Nicholas Cage is a fine actor, but he’s not a great actor IMO. Especially in the last 10-20 years, I feel like he’s developed some subtlety but the roles he’s taken have all been fuckin’ weird. Mostly I like his older work like Raising Arizona, Con Air, Face/Off, etc.
Have you ever seen Pig?
I haven’t, dunno anything about it.
Oh man, I just watched The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and absolutely loved it. It was everything I wanted in a Nic Cage movie.
