Actors you'd watch in anything.

**Jester** · 08-23-2014, 11:26 PM

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

). 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.

*ssjup81* · 08-23-2014, 11:39 PM

Maybe Christopher Walken.

*snake* · 08-24-2014, 12:11 AM

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.

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.

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.

*AT-Man* · 08-24-2014, 05:06 AM

Will Ferrell & Leslie Nielsen.

~~fridaynightdestination~~ · 08-24-2014, 08:04 AM

Bryan Cranston and Samuel L Jackson

Kanon · 08-24-2014, 09:58 AM

Johnny Depp and Peter Vives (he played the the role of "Angel"

in the movie The Cheetah girls 2)

Da Senzai · 08-24-2014, 10:36 AM

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.

*Prowler* · 08-24-2014, 10:46 AM

Jackie Chan.

*chrisdude* · 08-24-2014, 11:11 AM

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

*ObiWanFan4life* · 08-24-2014, 11:17 AM

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.
