There are some movies that don’t need any help and there are some that are beyond help. Despite that, I think there are some actors who always make a movie better than it would have been. They aren’t always leads, but any scene they’re in is worth watching. My list would start with: JK Simmons Rachel McAdams Michael B Jordan Tilda Swinton Jeff Daniels Ming-Na Wen
Who are the actors you feel the same way about? Or do you disagree with the premise?
Nick Cage.
100%! The man makes anything at least watchable. So many folks talk shit about him, but there’s not a single movie he’s in that isn’t improved by his performance; he always knows how much Cage a film needs.
I read an interview where Cage said that he always tries to make his characters entertaining. I think he generally succeeds, but I’m not sure it always benefits the overall movies he’s in.
