Character actress and fugitive from the law Margo Martindale
God she's incredible.
Sheβs a goddamn national treasure.
Sam muthaflippin' Rockwell
I will certainly give you Sam Rockwell. He should have been on my short list.
Lee Pace. He has done a lot of great tv recently, and is easily the best part of the shows he is in. I hope to see a Cillian Murphy-esque rise from excellent tv to starring in great movies.
He has been in Twilight, the Hobbit movies, and the MCU which are all huge franchices. But I hope he gets good interesting parts like his chracters in Halt amd Catch Fire, The Foundation, and the Fall.
He was (and still is) my favourite part of Foundation, especially because his character is original to the show, but his portrayal definitely adds to it.
Steve Buscemi
Danny Trejo!
Nick Cage.
100%! The man makes anything at least watchable. So many folks talk shit about him, but there's not a single movie he's in that isn't improved by his performance; he always knows how much Cage a film needs.
I read an interview where Cage said that he always tries to make his characters entertaining. I think he generally succeeds, but I'm not sure it always benefits the overall movies he's in.
I think Sir Ben Kingsley is a worthy addition to this list.
Christopher Eccleston.
His turn as Destro in GI Joe and The Rider in The Seeker are the only good parts of those movies.
Even in Dr Who he managed to make some week scripts into decent episodes.
Jack Nicholson
Woody Harrelson
Tom Hanks.
Jim Carrey! He is carrying the Sonic movie franchise on his back IMO
Paul Rudd
Channing Tatum, Mads Mikkelson, Robert Picardo. Can we also do dead people? Dennis Farina, Robert Forster, Pat Hingle.
I think it depends on the type of movie. Action or superhero? A cameo from Sam Jackson is always fun. Comedy? Will Smith, or someone like Tina Fey.
However, you're absolutely right, for any movie or show Rachel McAdams enhances it. Game Night would have been an absolute bore but she made it honestly really funny. Eurovision Song Contest: Story of Fire Saga is amazing with her and Will Farrell. She turned the turd that was True Detective from unwatchable to, well it was still a turd but she was one of the highlights of it. Oh and About Time? Just perfect, tears throughout.
