Samuel L. Jackson is the first name to pop into my head upon reading the thread title.

nobody mentioned, but Chris pratt, originally he was being casted in EVERYTHING. after parks and recs he has no range, hes just a sad moody pos irl too, supporting a alt-right church, and his sudden switch to evangelicalism. anne farris in an interview said he changed to a gymbo the moment he got buff for marvel/JP movies.

[–] la508@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

The past participle of "cast" is "cast".

I scrolled through the entire thread down and back up, it's a bit of a shock that John Wayne was not mentioned even once... until now.

For the most part, Jason Momoa

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 9 hours ago

that is true, he was the same person in SGA atlantis, in aquaman(atlantis), dune, and GOT. he was more entertaining when he started out in SGA.

Isn’t that intentional though?

He specifically requests to be a bad guy and to lose in the end because of his experience with crime and prison in his youth and wanting to be an example of crime not winning.

Fining out Joe Pesci plays Joe Pesci in real life because he was originally a tough guy, not the usual NY Juliard alumni, made his movies pretty annoying for me. Highlight: him hosting SNL and threatening to smack Sinead O'Connor for her anti-pope statement made that obvious

Sucks that it's too late to stop quoting My Cousin Vinny

OP's question was about actors though

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

He's become a walrus with a ponytail

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Keanu.

The Roc

Kevin bacon

Nick cage.

Ted Dansen.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

The Roc shouldn't be on your list. The Roc has massive range. Mostly due to their enormous wings.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

i think some on those list are decent or good at least in that role, but some people who are stuck in thier role seems to be terrible too.

Ryan Reynolds. There were some other movies but once he was in Deadpool, I feel like his whole personality was sarcastic mean funny guy

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

He was him even back in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

he was in wolverine the 2009 one as wade. hes pretty much the same thing as in deadpool just slighty less loudmouth. he did play that wierd schizophrenic character in the one movie that nobody remembers.

[–] defuse959@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The Voices. And that movie is fantastic.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 1 points 2 hours ago

It is, but he's still him, just with more mental health issues.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 8 points 14 hours ago

He was already kind of heading that way before Deadpool. I rewatched Buried and he was still doing that, just with less references so he didn't sound like Gex.
