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)

    There aren’t any actors who would pull me in to seeing everything they are in, but Willem Dafoe, Ryan Reynolds, and Nick Offerman are pretty close.

    He won’t be making any more movies… but Bruce Willis was always an easy draw for me. Most of his movies were easy watching, good times and I never really had to dedicate a lot of bandwidth to to have a good time.

    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.

        Pretty sure it is, cause I always think of Charlie and Martin when his name comes up, yes I know not related just sticks due to last name.

      Actors who always commit to their roles! It’s always a pleasure to see them, especially when you see them go from very serious to comedy in various parts. Tom Hanks was fantastic in the 80s when he was comedy but he seems to do more serious roles since then. Also why Saturday Night Live skits can be awesome when such actors are guest starting.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    I loved this guy in atomic blonde. I do this more with directors. I’ll watch anything by Dennis Villeneuve or Quintin Tarantino

      Villeneuve is my favourite director. I’ve loved all of his films. I’d watch him film shit crust over.

      Same goes for Roger Deakins and anything he touches with his cinematography. If he’s involved I know it’s going to look beautiful.

    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.

      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.

    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
