Line 77:
** ''[[Collateral]]''.
** ''[[The Soloist]]'', as well.
* Colin Baker, aka the Sixth Doctor was widely considered the worst from his short TV tenure on ''[[
** The [[Big Finish]] Audios also gave [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap|pretty epic upgrades]] to some of the [[The Scrappy|scrappier]] companions, such as [[Screaming Woman|Mel]] and [[Ms. Fanservice|Peri]].
* Whether [[Arthur Darvill]] was any good at acting in his earlier career was mostly up for debate due to the fact that he spent most of it playing back up for a much more [[The Sooty Show|famous]] teddy bear, and now... well, watch any episode of ''Doctor Who'' he's in and you'll see what this guy can do. His conversation with Amy in "The Pandorica Opens" is arguably his best scene.
Line 201:
** ''[[Water for Elephants]]''.
** This could pretty much be said for the majority of the ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'' cast up to and including the examples of [[Kristen Stewart]] and Jackson Rathbone above.
* [[James Bond (Film)|Roger]] [[The Saint|Moore]] is best known for playing suave, charming international playboy types. Seeing him in ''[
** Right in the middle of his stint as James Bond, he starred in ''[[The Wild Geese]]'' as basically Daniel Craig's version of Bond, ie a hard, cold badass. His first scene where he forces a drug dealer to overdose on his own product is quite unnerving to people used to his foppish, denonair Bond.
*** Not forgetting ''[[For Your Eyes Only (Film)|For Your Eyes Only]]'', are we? You know, the one with him acting as ruthless as Connery, Craig and Dalton at their coldest.
Line 290:
* [[Harvey Keitel]] was always a good supporting actor, proving he could hold his own alongside [[De Niro]] but never getting the big parts. Then in ''[[Bad Lieutenant (Film)|Bad Lieutenant]]'' he gives a brilliant performance as a man we should detest but we pity due to his intense self-hatred and despair. It blows [[De Niro]] and Pacino completely out of the water.
* Simon Pegg in ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'''s dramatic scenes. A comedy actor shouldn't be that good at crying.
** He also makes a surprisingly good villain of the [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] type, if you happen to be a fan of ''[[
* Many people who only knew [[Hayden Panettiere]] as [[Heroes (TV)|Claire the cheerleader]] got a very pleasant surprise on seeing her performance in ''[[Scream (Film)|Scream 4]]''.
* You wouldn't think that [[Diedrich Bader]] would be any good at serious deadpan roles after ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' and ''[[Office Space]]''. But his performance as Batman on [[Batman the Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]] showed us all!
Line 306:
* [[Vin Diesel]] is the kind of "actor" who basically plays the same type of character, regardless of what character he's supposed to be playing. And then he did ''[[Find Me Guilty]]'', and suddenly people were quoting the trope name.
** Although one could argue this was foreshadowed a bit by his performance in ''[[Boiler Room]]'' years before.
** It took a [[Hey, It's That Voice!|real actor]] to make us feel so much for ''[[The Iron Giant]]'', so this was even true in 1999.
** Also, he's pretty good in his self-directed, short film debut "[[Multi Facial]]".
** Most people would be surprised to know that he started as a stage actor. A part of that is hinted in ''[[The Pacifier]]'' where he helps a kid put on a play.
