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)
Christoph Waltz
Gary Oldman
Maybe Chris Pratt
John Cleese
Charlize Theron
Lately Millie Bobbie Brown it seems. Even her Holmes stuff is fun.
Kurt Russell
Charlize Theron - one of the best actors in the world IMO. If you disagree watch Monster.
I don’t watch many movies at all, too fidgety.
But if I see Tim Curry, I’m paying attention.
Shovelface. But after Twilight.
Jared Harris
He’s been in some real stinkers, but chances are if he shows up, you’re in for a good time.
Daniel Day Lewis did for so long. Nobody does today really and I go to 2 movies a week and watch 5 at home. I am kind of keeping an eye on and encouraged by Bill Skarsgard, David Dastmalcian, Jack Quade, Michael B Jordan and Lewis Pullman…
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.
Is that the bloke from Good Omens?
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.
Catherine O’Harra, Tilda Swinton, Gary Oldman, John Malkovich, Tom Hanks
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?
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.
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.
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.
