What are the actors/actresses that get a blank check from you (you'll watch anything they are in without needing extra motivation)? (lemmy.world)

For me it’s Karl Urban, Angelica Houston, Ryan Gosling, Tilda Swinton, Gary Oldman, and Jeff Bridges. Honorable Mention to Weird Al Yankovich.

Jack Black, Margot Robbie, Michael Cera, David Tennant, Andy Samberg, Daniel Radcliffe. I'll watch anything with Jim Carey, but not without complaining about it first.

Barring Twilight, Robert Pattinson. He has become an amazing actor and chooses super interesting roles.

That's usually the case with big franchise actors. They can live a fully lavish life on royalties alone, that gives them the opportunity to do what the actually like instead of what pays the bills. Daniel Radcliffe has been in some amazingly unhinged roles over the years after Harry Potter. Kristen Stewart does a lot of artistic films one of which has even earned her a foreign award (César Award, France). Robert Pattinson has been in major blockbusters and smaller indie films and series. They are basically living each young actors dream of having the right to be choosy with their roles.

I completely agree with that. An incredible actor as long as the role isn't sparkly vampire.

I tell people all the time, just watch Good Time for proof. But people just can't let go of Twilight. Honestly it's the same for Kristen Stewart. That other guy, though. I dunno what happened to him.

I'm going with Paul Rudd.

Aubrey Plaza by a mile, if it weren't for me blindly watching anything this woman's in, I would've never watched one of the most beautiful masterpieces called Legion on FX.

Others are, Margaret Qualley (Maid, The Nice Guys, Death Stranding), Anna Torv (Fringe, The Newsreader), Jason Mantzoukas (B99, The Good Place), Gillian Jacobs (Love, Transatlantic), Al Pacino, Jamie Fox.

Nice choices there. I haven't seen Legion, maybe I'll give it a go.

I'll watch anything with Mackenzie Davies in, and I've ended up watching a lot of stuff because Kristen Stewart is in it. This meant I had to watch Happiest Season twice of course.
