Nice old find, enough time has passed to make this a necromancy candidate.
13 years later... where are we now? |
Anthony Daniels (Star Wars) or Stan Lee (MCU)

early in the thread and already ended it. Game over. Well done. |

fitting, for her genre |
Had a version of this conversation a little while ago, and I stand by my way-back-when pick of Tom Cruise. Dude might be crazy but he makes good movies.
Samuel L. Jackson would get you most of Marvel, plus Tarantino and some Star Wars, although not the good ones. And Harrison Ford remains a strong call. (Although at this point I wonder how many people would get clever and go with John Ratzenberger to get all the Pixar movies.) |

And a Star Wars movie! |
Question since I didn't answer the first time: is it just movies, or does it include TV shows as well?
|

seems to be "films" so I'd say just movies, not television or other media |
John Cazale gets you a short list of nothing but classics.
The Godfather The Conversation The Godfather pat 2 Dog Day Afternoon The Deer Hunter That's all the movies he did before dying at 42 years old. |

Upon reopening this thread, I thought of Harrison Ford, then after seeing "we have no women mentioned"...Shannon Whirry. |
Robin Williams was never mentioned in this thread, does he have too many bad movies to make it worth the pick? Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Awakenings, Alladin, The Fisher King, The Birdcage (I liked it at the time at least), Hamlet, Good Will Hunting, some of the comedies that aren't rated so well I still was okay with. Other highly rated RT scores for films I haven't seen.
I'm not sure I'd necessarily pick him but I think there's a decent case there. I think if I didn't pick Williams I'd end up with Pacino or Hanks. EDIT: Decisiveness is always more fun in these threads. I'm taking Robin Williams. |
Looking at character actors who are in everything, John C Reilly has an incredibly impressive catalog looking at his rotten tomato scores.
|
Nobody wants the vast catalogue of Nick Cage?
WHA??? |
Adam Driver
|
I'm going to say Toshiro Mifune, because he covers a large percentage of the greatest Akira Kurosawa films, plus a bunch more Japanese period dramas from the 60s/70s. I even like some of the cheezy US movies he did in the 80s in a "so bad that they're good" kind of way.
|
Matt Damon
He's got Ocean's movies, Bourne, Rounders, Saving Private Ryan, Good Will Hunting, Departed. Even a cameo on Thor: Ragnarok (uncredited, however). |
I'm going Paul Bettany. Gets you a surprising number of MCU movies, the underrated A Knight's Tale (his best performance), Wimbledon (one of my favorite romcoms), Solo (not the best Star Wars movie but one), and just a wide variety of films in general.
|
My first reaction was Will Ferrell, but there's too many really bad ones I wouldn't be able to sit through.
Off the top of my head, I would have to say my Mt Rushmore: Bradley Cooper Harrison Ford Stan Lee Alan Rickman |
Tom Hardy would be a great updated pick.
|
Steve Martin? Scrolling through his IMDB, there's a whole lot of crap there. But you're alone on a deserted island, a mindless feel good movie might be kind of nice.
|
If I wanted a LOT of films and a lot of variety in the types, I might go Tilda Swinton. She's been in Avenger films, Coen Bros movies, comedies, erotic dramas, Wes Anderson films, Narnia. She's by no means my favorite, but she's almost always interesting.
