Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

I am sure many of us here follow directors more than actors/actresses, and I am wondering. It got me to thinking: is there any actor or actress I will watch ANYTHING they are in regardless of who directs them or what movies they are in?

I honestly have to say I can't think of many...or really any. I mean, there is Bill Murray and I always try to pay attention to what he does but he did Garfield and then there was that horrendous Broken Flowers. Johnny Depp is perhaps one of my favorite serious actors but he accepts some crappy roles I will never watch him in.

I was just wondering if anybody here could think of actors they would watch regardless of what they were in? And why?

No, there isn't. There's plenty of actors I like who do work I'm not interested in.

Katie Morgan

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Yes, there are too many to list.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

I love Broken Flowers, further cemented my love for Murray. But yea, he's been in stinkers, the odds really work against everyone in Hollywood. Maybe John Cazale was the only who had a great career, but it was cut short, I'm sure sooner or later he would've been in a truly bad film.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Broken Flowers is a great movie.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

In the last 4 years, easy, Robert Downey Jr

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Downey Jr for sure the last 4 yrs....

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

His filmography may be uneven (to say the least), but I've yet to see a disappointing performance by Sean Connery (except, in all honesty, Diamonds Are Forever). He was great in Medicine Man; the most enjoyable part of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, The Rock and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen; he was flat-out great in The Untouchables and I will forever have a soft spot for the eerie Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

Clint Eastwood is my favorite actor, but he's been in a bunch of real turds.

Maybe Edward Norton, but there's that movie with him as a priest and Ben Stiller as a rabbi.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Daniel Day-Lewis seems to be the kingpin of excellent actors. Does whatever he wants, and turns in "the best performance of the year" every so often.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Watching ANYTHING an actor might be in is a tall order, and I've not seen his entire filmography so there may be plenty of stinkers in it, but this is the guy who came immediately to mind for me:

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

If Pachino and DeNiero can appear in crap so would have Cazale.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Jason Statham and Megan Fox.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Clint Howard

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

He's never acted good in my opinion. It's all great.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

George Clooney get close.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

He will always have Batman and Robin.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Ah-nold. Now he is retired now, but I would always give his movies a try because you knew what you were getting each time: good action, cheesy one liners, and arnold kicking ass.

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

He too, will always have Batman and Robin.


There really isn't anyone I can think of, except maybe Daniel Day Lewis, and that might be proven wrong with "Nine".

In terms of people the general masses always seem to give a free pass to regardless of how crappy their movie is, I would say Will Smith and Vince Vaughn. I also tend to notice that older audiences are always willing to give Jodie Foster a free pass (until recently).

Re: Actors/Actresses that can do no wrong
 

Meryl Streep comes to mind.

Even in bad movies, she's always good in my opinioin.

This thread has gone so off-topic it's not even funny, from "actors that can do no wrong" to "actors I really really like".
