Line 14:
*** Mos (it's just Mos now, motherfucker!) has also received praise for his performance in the sixth season of ''[[Dexter]]''.
* Ask the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fandom, and most will say that the prologue for ''Kingdom Hearts II'' took a turn for the [[Tear Jerker|heart-wrenching]] towards the end. The sob-inducing performance of Roxas? Yeah, that was ''Jesse McCartney''. Same goes for Alyson Stoner (the English voice of Xion) in ''358/2 Days''.
** And if you were still unconvinced by Jesse McCartney in KH2, then [[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Birth By Sleep]] and''358/2 Days'' will change your opinion.
** Here's another example: see him acting as Robin/Nightwing in ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]].''
* This is one of the reasons ''[[The Truman Show]]'' is widely considered to be [[Jim Carrey]]'s best movie.
Line 359:
* J.K. Simmons is likely best known to the public for his scene-stealing role as J. Jonah Jameson in ''[[Spider-Man]]'', getting all the best lines. But anyone who saw him in ''[[Oz]]'' knew him as the depraved Nazi Vern Schillinger, a man who is in turns absolutely loathsome and at the same time filled with self-hatred and regret. Its a complex role and Simmons absolutely nails it, giving arguably the best performance in the whole series.
* Tom Hulce made his first big acting mark as goofy Delta frat member Pinto in ''[[Animal House]]''. Then along came a movie called ''[[Amadeus]]''. And then, a movie called ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', where it turns out he really can ''sing'' as well.
* In voice-acting, [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] is a bit typecast; he used to work on [[Power Rangers]] and typically plays confident, outgoing heroes. Then comes ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', in which his character is not only a meek, ostracized coward but ''also'' has a [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]. You will not recognize him.
* Another voce acting example: [[Jason Griffith]]. Compare his acting in ''[[Sonic X]]'' to his performance in the last ''Sonic'' game he worked on. Or his performance in ''[[Kurokami]]''. You will see a marked difference.
* [[Shailene Woodley]] is best known for her role on ''[[The Secret Life of the American Teenager]]'', turning in a performance that ranges all the way from bitchy to pouty with heaps of [[Dull Surprise]] in between. Imagine the shock critics had upon seeing ''[[The Descendants]]'' where she is not only very good but nearly steals the film from George Clooney. Maybe there's hope for the rest of the cast too.
