Actors you'd watch in anything.
 

Tonight I watched a weird movie, Jake Squared, because it stared Elias Koteas...and I'll watch anything with him in it. And thus...Thread.

What actor (male or female, the word's fairly gender neutral, right?) would you watch in almost anything?

Aside from Elias, the late Robin Williams is another, he has quite a presence in my DVD collection. Jennifer Connelly is another. Probably Judith Hoag, but i only own 2 of her flicks.

Hmm...maybe Pacino, De Niro? Jennifer Lawrence(she don't even have to have lines:lol:). Possibly Eminem.

I don't know if there are actors I will always watch but I will definitely watch ANYthing the Coen's do. The only thing they've done that is below par is the remake of the Lady Killers. If they made a movie about watching paint dry I would be the first in line to see it. They are just awesome.

Maybe Christopher Walken.

Liam Neeson. I love that dude.

Indeed. Some of his later movies are lousy, sadly.

Bryan Cranston, and maybe Aaron Paul, amazing actors in every way

Yeah. I like Keanu Reeves also. I even sat through 47 Ronin.

By the way, why was he even cast for that movie?

Excellent taste sir. I love Elias Koteas in Chicago P.D. and Jennifer Connelly since I first saw her in the Rocketeer. I even watched all of the Hulk just because she was in it. :lol:
I would also watch anything with Al Pacino, Robert Downey Jr, Ralph Fiennes, Morgan Freeman, Jeff Bridges, Pierce Brosnan, or Sean Bean. It's a big closet. I got room for all my boys.

Emilio Estevez, absolutely.

I totally read that wrong....I read Leslie Nielsen. Both are great. :D

Jack Nicholson - just love the guy. He's extremely talented as well as hilarious. Some of my favourite films of his include Batman, The Departed. the Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Bucket List and As Good as It Gets. Morgan Freeman is another who I like (also in TBL).

Outside of films and movies, I used to watch any soccer match involving Zinedine Zidane, simply because he was my teenage footballing idol and I loved watching him play. These days I think he's a bit of a prick.

Will Ferrell & Leslie Nielsen.

Bryan Cranston and Samuel L Jackson

Johnny Depp and Peter Vives (he played the the role of "Angel" :lol: in the movie The Cheetah girls 2)

I watch everything with Nicolas Cage. That guy is Amazing. He has starred in a lot of bad-mediocre films, but he is always acting his ass off.

Jackie Chan.

I guess I don't really follow actors, much. But the closest would be Jackie Chan. He does have movies that I've passed on (The Spy Next Door comes to mind). But, many times, I have purchased his movies without seeing them first, sometimes even ordering from overseas. Pretty much any of his Hong Kong stuff I can buy without hesitation. Anything he directs, really. I have slacked, lately, but I have 20-25 of his films.

I don't go out of my way to watch his stuff either. It just happens that if I happen to catch a movie starring him on TV Ill sit down and watch it.

And yes, I rarely miss the opportunity to watch a movie set in Hong Kong. I like it so much that I'll even go as far as saying that Sleeping Dogs is better than GTA :lol:

Peter Dinklage. I loved him on Game Of Thrones and almost everything else outside of it. Same goes for Robin Williams (R.I.P.), Michael Caine, Robert Downey Jr, and Sir Patrick Stewart.

Chris Pratt.

I almost bought Sleeping Dogs during the Steam summer sale. I probably should have.

I gotta include Jackie Chan and Iko Uwais too. Can't say the same for Tony Jaa anymore, sadly. :( His latest movies have been terrible.

Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Gary Oldman. Holy sh*t Gary Oldman is the man. When Oldman is great he's fantastic. Even when he's bad he's fantastic.

Not a lot of love for the ladies in this thread. Some, but not a lot. :lol:


edit: Thought of some more. Denzel, Ron Pearlman, Ryan Hurst, Mila Kunis

^^ Very astute:lol:

Ok. hrrrrrrm
Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams, Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder.
I wouldv'e said Meryl Streep but I'm not watching Mama Mia....

Yes sir!!!

Harrison Ford is cool. If I see that he's in a movie, I will probably watch it. I rented Ender's Game because he's in it.

Do voice actors count? Because I'll watch anything that has Rob Paulsen as a prominent voice. Hell I watched Loonatics Unleashed just because Rob voiced one of the main characters.

I didn't pick anyone but if I would have it would have been Gary Oldman. He is really phenomenal. I feel the same about John Goodman and Billy Bob Thornton as well. Any actors that the Coen work with regularly are definitely great.

I enjoy both Bill Murray and Christian Bale in most things, even if I'm not entirely into the movie that surrounds them.

As far as chicks go, Chloe Moretz is doing pretty good. It's weird because, in general, most chicks can't act very well (sorry) and most kids can't act very well, but she's been pretty good for a while now. I haven't seen her in a ton of stuff but I liked the ones I've seen her in, and I hear that even in her bad movies she herself is pretty good. So that's who's impressing me at the moment.

I recommend it. Fun game with a great combat system, certainly better than GTA's. The story is pretty good at first, although it gets less interesting midway through it and the game has a bit of an abrupt ending with a not so great boss fight, imo. Also, after a certain point, missions become repetitive and dull, especially when you start using firearms. Using your martial arts skills is a lot more fun.

It's a pretty good game but certainly not a masterpiece.

I bought a VHS tape of an episode of Rude Dog and the Dweebs because Rob IS Rude Dog. :D (I also have The Mask VHS tapes for the same reason.)
I love Oldman. He's such a chameleon.

Ryan Gosling.

Drive is one of the best movies of the last couple of years and his follow up film with Nicolas Winding Refn Only God Forgives is criminally under appreciated.

Gosling knocks it out of the park too with Lars and the Real Girl and the Place Beyond the Pines.

Leo man, I think I'm only going by looks :lol:

Classics : Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn

Present : Mass-agreement on Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, Harvey Keitel, Day-Lewis and what the hell Meryl Streep.

Honorable mention : Brad Pitt, mainly because I went to his elementary school. Seven is one of my all time favorites, have to give him some credit for that.

Completely Random Pick : Michael Wincott, obviously not into "everything" he's done, but I think he's an underrated actor. Just my opinion.

willem dafoe is amazing,i can watch any movie that features him and be entertained.

^^ He has the same quality of Oldman, even when he's in a bad movie he's great.

Bruce Campell. He's hilarious in almost everything he's in.

Tilda Swinton
Amy Adams (She's one of the main reasons I went to see Man of Steel in the theater. Ugh, what a waste)
Gina Carano (After Haywire I will watch anything else she does.)
Anne Hathaway
Carla Gugino
Kate Winslet

JASON STATHAM
JK Simmons
Nathan Fillion
Alan Tudyk
