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)
James mcavoy is a good call. I’d add Gary Oldman, Cate Blanchett, Judy dench, Adam Scott, Nathan Lane, Tim Roth, Saoirse Ronan, Brendan Gleason, Sharon Horgan. Used to be Robert DeNiro, ed Norton, Tina Fey. Hopeful up and comers. Sydney Sweeney, Anna Kendrick, Anna Camp, Christin milioti
Daniel Day Lewis
This is the most correct answer
Tom Hardy. Taboo was very good.
He definitely takes risks and chooses interesting projects.
And then goes and does a snooze fest like Havoc. I guess very few manage to bat 1.000.
And Locke
Jon Bernthal, of late. I first saw him in the Walking Dead where I kind of hated him, but then saw him in a couple other things (especially Punisher) and realized what a good actor he is. That's happened a few times actually, I really hated Brad Pitt in Se7en (that wasn't wrath, that was a fucking bad hair day), but then saw him in 12 Monkeys and was like 'Oh wait'.
Have you watched The Bear!? I "hated" Jon Bernthal until I saw him in The Bear, and he won me over through sheer goddamn chops. Man.
Gene Hackman. DeNiro. Pacino. J.T. Walsh. James Cromwell. J.K Simmons. Many more I can't remember.
Scarlet was great in Jojo Rabbit.
I now realize I left out the amazing actresses from my list. Thank you.
David Duchovny
Willem Dafoe
Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron. Also just learned who she is but I'm definitly a Florence Pugh fan now.
There's are a few others. That don't come to mind right now.
Rick Moranis maybe
I don't know if there's any actor I feel that way about as I generally don't watch films based on the cast, but probably the closest would be Song Kang-ho. He delivers consistently great performances and works with many writers and directors that I like.
Used to be Robin Williams for me.
I'll be intrigued if any of these are in the cast.
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.
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.
Ralph Fiennes
Jodie Whittaker.
Actually, there's several people that I'd watch in anything (the nonsense I've watched specifically because of one person in it....) but she's the current fixation and these lists tend to be populated by men.
None, good actors can't make bad films good.
Jason Statham
Felicity Jones and Rachel McAdams. Either of those two are in something and it's an immediate watch for me. Odds are in their favor it's going to be decent if they signed on for it, and their acting abilities are top notch for me
Damn, I misread the title and thought I was going to see people that nobody wants to see in a movie like Jared Leto and was surprised at all the nice actors that were listed.
Ryan Renolds
