James McAvoy for me. X-Men first Class, Split, Speak No Evil, even Victor Frankenstein. If MCavoy’s name is attached to it, I’m probably going to see it. Charlize Theron is next. Mad Max: Fury road, Monster, and Kubo. Old guard… she acted her heart out, but it was okay in the end. (First post)
There aren’t any actors who would pull me in to seeing everything they are in, but Willem Dafoe, Ryan Reynolds, and Nick Offerman are pretty close.
He won’t be making any more movies… but Bruce Willis was always an easy draw for me. Most of his movies were easy watching, good times and I never really had to dedicate a lot of bandwidth to to have a good time.
Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron. Also just learned who she is but I’m definitly a Florence Pugh fan now.
Michael Sheen. A fantastic proud Welshman who gave away his own money so the homeless World Cup could be held in Cardiff, and is now pouring his heart into the national theatre.
I’d love a drink or three with him.
Is that the bloke from Good Omens?
Pretty sure it is, cause I always think of Charlie and Martin when his name comes up, yes I know not related just sticks due to last name.
I’ll be intrigued if any of these are in the cast.
- Anthony Hopkins
- Bill Murray
- Edward Norton
- Rebecca Ferguson
- Evan Rachel Wood
But they’ve all been cast in plenty of films films I don’t care about (e.g. Hopkins in Transformers and Thor, Murray in Garfield and Jungle Book) so it’s not even remotely a guarantee.
Giovanni Ribisi
Dunno why
Viola Davis, Elizabeth Olsen, Jodie Foster
I’ll watch anything with Viola Davis. She tricked me into watching Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. It’s a great movie and she played the role really well, but that was a rough movie to watch.
Tom Hanks, maybe. I used to say “he’s never done a bad movie” but then I saw his WWII movie that aired on AppleTV
-I don’t know if any actors are good enough to pull me in like that. There are however, a couple of major directors that guarantee I am going to the theatre. Guillermo Del Toro is probably the most likely one that comes to mind. Ridley Scott and James Cameron are likely to get me in the theatre as well.
Tom Hanks, maybe. I used to say “he’s never done a bad movie” but then I saw his WWII movie that aired on AppleTV
Really? I fucking loved Greyhound. It’s like they surgically removed every boring movie trope they could find to leave just the best bits.
I thought they meant Every Time We Say Goodbye, which I like, but most people don’t.
Oh! Yeah maybe. I’ve never seen it. Given the reviews that seems a lot more likely.
Jason Statham
Daniel Day Lewis
This is the most correct answer
- Scarlet Johansson
- Denzel Washington
- Keanu Reeves
- Frances McDormand
Scarlet was great in Jojo Rabbit.
I now realize I left out the amazing actresses from my list. Thank you.
- Gina Davis.
- Al Pacino.
- Brad Pitt.
- Edward Norton.
- Helen Mirren.
- Judy Dench.
There’s are a few others. That don’t come to mind right now.
There aren’t too many actors that will pull my interest just based on their involvement. Sam Rockwell, Gary Oldman and Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP) are the first that come to mind but I’m sure there are more. Does Tom Waites count?
Catherine O’Harra, Tilda Swinton, Gary Oldman, John Malkovich, Tom Hanks
Actors who always commit to their roles! It’s always a pleasure to see them, especially when you see them go from very serious to comedy in various parts. Tom Hanks was fantastic in the 80s when he was comedy but he seems to do more serious roles since then. Also why Saturday Night Live skits can be awesome when such actors are guest starting.
Elizabeth Olsen.
