Who's your instantly improving movie actor, /tv/?
>>85199520
Had this reaction watching Clear and Present Danger. Pretty underrated film.
Similar actor for me is Bill Paxton
Ed Harris improves absolutely everything. Prove me wrong.

It was Kurt Russell until I realized he's in the most recent Fast and Furious movie. Martin Freeman I guess?

loved him in comedies and love him even more in more serious roles, he was great in Chicago
would watch a movie about sandwiches if he was the lead

>>85202085
I just realised all these actors were in Charlie's Angels
Woody Harrelson. I watched the Edge of Seventeen just cause he had a supporting role.
>>85202272I loved Now You See Me 2 because it had double woody
>>85199520
Williem Dafoe and Kevin Bacon
>>85202272
I loved him as the general in Dr Strangelove
>>85201860
I think literally everyone has the exact same reaction they see him in a serious role for the first time, including the transition from
>there's no way this will be good
to
>holy shit this is fucking great
>>85202562
and Cillian Murphy
Every time. Blue Velvet, LotR, Dune. This guy is the best.
>>85202757
Still fucks with my head the fact that he's voiced Chucky all these years.
>>85199520

>>85202757

This guy
Peter Stormare

>>85201145
It was for his Rocky and Bullwinkle role.
>>85199520
What the fuck is this reddit cancer.
>>85203438
yes he was so good as the chief of police on The Closer
>>85201219
He's the only reason I would watch Rogue One. But I heard for once, he really sucks in that movie.
>>85201860
Funny how Will Ferrell is the complete opposite of him
I don't like his political views but he's such a good actor
Even if a movie is shit, at least he saves it a little
>>85203438
>>85199520
These two gentlemen definitely improve any movie.
To me another man of import is Bryan Cranston. Doesn't matter if the movie sucks, he has an intensity that elevates.
>>85202692
This. The presence of Cillian Murphy instantly makes me take a film seriously.

Came into thread just to post this. I love him because he probably terrorizes everyone on set believing himself to be the guy he plays like the crazy method actor he is.

I agree.
Last thing I've seen him in was Westworld and he seemed to be having a great time. Either that or he was the best actor in that show by a mile.

Klaus Kinski
Also Alec Newman - I just kinda like him
>>85201107
I don't get the hate for him, he has the most pitiable, sympathetic face ever. He looks like a harmless middle aged man down on his luck in everything. Half the fun of Fargo's first season was his being such a slippery bag of shit and still being somewhat easy to sympathize with.
>>85201242

>>85199608
Counterargument: Snowpiercer
I mean, obviously Ed just showed up for a paycheck, and gave exactly 0 fucks about what he was doing onscreen. One of the weaker showings in a trainwreck (ha) of shit performances by usually-good actors, especially given how much his character was hyped. Blame it on the material, if it makes you feel better.
Don't disagree with the principle, though, 95% of the time Ed Harris adds something to the movie.
>>85199520
Sadly, Dwayne Johnson.
His charisma always improves a movie.
>>85207999
Fuck you. I had almost forgotten Snowpiercer.
>>85199520
this happens to me too. I'll tolerate just about any schlock as long as Dafoe is in it
>>85199742
Except waterworld. And Mario Brothers. Look, I like Dennis Hopper as much as the next guy, and he's crazy talented, but he gets himself signed to sinking ships that simply cannot be saved. His reach exceeds his grasp, maybe, when it comes to picking scripts.

>kevin spacey

>>85206474
good taste
>>85207999
But everything and everyone in that movie is shit.
Ed Harris at least gives us a last moment of "maybe this will not be totally pointless" up until the final reveal.
>>85208086
last good thing he's done was American Beauty
>>85201860
I think the first thing I remember seeing him in was Gangs of New York, which is a solid but not particularly memorable performance (especially next to DDL screaming his head off and chewing up scenery like a goddamn brontosaurus). And then when he started doing comedy I had to do a double take.
John C Reilly is great. He's so ridiculously sincere in every role, even when it's very, very stupid.
>>85208044
This thread is a little unfair though, not even the greatest actor of all time can save a movie when director is shit.
Case in point all the bullshit Brandon was in his later years.
>>85203093
>Peter Stormare
Yep. I'm still not convinced he's "acting" exactly, so much as just "behaving weirdly in front of a camera", but it never fails to entertain. Best example is him just casually showing up for 3 minutes in Constantine, to insert probably one of the best Satan performances ever committed to film into a movie that is otherwise 90 minutes of forgettable garbage.
Nic Cage makes every movie he's in more entertaining whether his performance is fantastic or off
>>85203851
Everybody sucks in that movie. And he only has like 10 lines of dialogue, most of which are pointless.

Oh man. Yeah, I always loved a good Curry cheeseball, scenery-chewing villain. He basically perfected that character in Clue, and then proceeded to use it like 20 more films, but whatever. I'll watch that shit all day.
>>85208053
>Waterworld's a good movie
No, waterworld's a shit movie that redditors like to like ironically. Or a movie people haven't seen since they were kids and think it's good because of all the nostalgia fog obscuring their vision. It does make a good basis for a drinking game, though, I'll give you that. Also:
>faggotron.

All the more reason a talented guy like Ed should have been able to easily outshine everybody else. He didn't, though. Just stood there and delivered his lines like he was reading off a card.

One of my favourite anecdotes about Kinski is how, during the filming of Fitzcarraldo his constant screaming on set made the natives so angry they asked Werner Herzog if they could kill him.

Kazan betrayed a lot of his close friends during the McCarthy hearings so he would go free himself. Harris and Nolte didn't want to clap for that. The reason Spielberg is clapping but not standing up is that he adores Kazan's movies but doesn't like the guy.

Mein neger! Granted, I've only seen him in Inglorious Basterds and Django, but he has really been the brightest, shining star in both of them. I can barely stand to watch IG because of Brad Pitt's atrocious performance, but Waltz's acting is always a delight to watch. He is excellent being charismatic and intimidating, exemplified when he is interrogating LaPadite. The subtle shift in facial expression, going from charismatic to intimidating, is masterclass.
