Acts on TV regularly.

I guess Miles Teller?

He must have one of the best agents in the world, because none of his movies do well at the box office.

Marlon Brando. He’s been out of the public eye for a while.

In all honesty, I was really rooting for Anton Yeltin. He was a very good actor and I was really hoping he would have a breakout movie and move on to better things. I was very surprised when I read about him dying and how. He had so much potential and I really think he would have eventually won an Oscar.

I am pulling for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. So much potential. Just needs the right movie and he will take off.

For some odd reason pretty much everyone who plays Superman:
Tom Welling
Brandon Routh
Henry Cavill

They all seem like decent actors who deserve a bit more than they’ve gotten. Although Cavill is coming into his own.

Scott Adkins. Hes one break away from being an action mega star. Accident Man was his best yet.

Is he even still interested in acting? Between directing and Hit RECord, he seems to be fairly busy.

The fact of the matter is with so much scripted TV being produced these days, if an actor of any level of fame wants to find steady work, he or she can.

You didn’t see him in The Last Jedi?

She hasn't appeared in anything since 2002.

Didn’t she get in a bad car crash years ago and she stopped acting after that? Or am I thinking of someone totally different?

I'm pulling for Jeff Bridges to start speaking properly again.

Re: Is There An Actor/Actress You've Been Rooting For To
 
LOL it might be too late for Nick Nolte to speak coherently.


I don't think Bridget Fonda will ever come back and she might have aged significantly so it will be harder to cast.

I'd settle for redubbing his dialogue in HELL OR HIGH WATER without the marbles in his mouth. His attempt to "act" like an old coot ruined the movie for me. I don't recall him doing that in TRUE GRIT and he was just fine there.

True Grit is where he started sounding like that.

After his Oscar win playing a country singer in Crazy Heart, and the next year getting an Oscar nod for True Grit - I think Bridges decided at that point to just go with the old cowboy persona.

He's probably kicking back, playing pool with Casper Van Dien while collecting his Riverdale paychecks.

I hear he's started to smell pretty bad now too, and ya need ropes and pulleys to prop him up.

Gotta disagree with you on Welling. Always thought he was a horrific actor; and I watched all 10 years of that damn show.

I know he is old and maybe he just quit acting years ago but it would have been nice if he did more movies.


Dustin Hoffman might be in the same boat though he has done more movies than Pesci though the "Me Too" movement might kill his career.

Brendan Fraser who has his own thread is somebody that I would not mind having a resurgence.

If he could keep it together long enough, like to see Jan-Michael Vincent do a Tarantino movie.

Just the other day saw a trailer for a movie about an old movie star who shows up for a rinky dink film festival. He's guest of honor. Stars a very aged Burt Reynolds.

No way that's gonna happen. He's only got one leg now, he's half-blind and he can no longer speak clearly.

Amen to that.

Would like to see Christina Ricci do more big screen work outside of voice role for animated films. She was still doing strong work up until the late 2000's and then started appearing in Lifetime movies and had that very brief stint with Pan Am.

OldBoy 02-24-18 08:17 PM

Re: Is There An Actor/Actress You've Been Rooting For To
 
i've always liked Zach Braff and wanted him to do more than he has. Garden State was a gem and one of my favs of all time. he has yet to replicate that and now back to tv...

Michael Corvin 02-25-18 06:32 AM

Monica Bellucci is the only one coming to mind. She would have been perfect for a role in Game of Thrones.

Coral 02-25-18 09:59 AM

Re: Is There An Actor/Actress You've Been Rooting For To
 
I'm going with Steve Martin, but with a condition.

Other than some voice work, he's only done 2 movies in the last 9 years - and the last one was only a very small role. He's basically been concentrating on music and art.

I'd love to see him come back with a real dramatic role, even in an ensemble cast. He's done some drama before, but I think he'd be great with the right role.

Another good one. And I think I'm the only person who really liked Pan Am

One of his greatest performances ever as the very scary "Little Bill."

BTW, I noticed it's out on UHD now.
I'll pick it up when the price is right.:)

Al Pacino

Not doing stuff like the Hangman though he has Paterno on HBO in April.


I was not a huge fan or hated her but what happened to Hilary Swank?

She was a favorite in the Academy for a while with several Oscar nominations and I don't think she had plastic surgery and destroyed her face.

She's made some bad career choices, but when given the right role she can hit it out of the park. I thought she was great in Tommy Lee Jones' The Homesman.
