    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.

      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.

    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

      SEEMS PEOPLE who went to “mit version of music and theather” sure love to be boastful about going there. glenn is another juliard alumini, but i think he only fits in as an ISAIP comedy actor, and almost anything else he doesnt have range outside of that.(i remember mac is the one whos been wierdly promoting his juilard education as if it makes him a good actor). i think the school made him too rigid.

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

      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.

      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.

    I’m not sure if it’s himself but John Spencer had an oddly specific career type cast as “guy who is smarter than the people around him and is totally exasperated with having to deal with their nonsense.”

    From WarGames to The Rock to The West Wing, he’s that guy. So consistent.
