Just a few roles that stood out to me for each:

Chadwick Boseman - Jackie Robinson, James Brown, #1 overall pick in Draft Day

Mark Wahlberg - kid turned porn star in Boogie Nights, Micky Ward HW champ, theatrical hero of real life events in Deepwater Horizon and Patriots Day

For kicks: Seth Rogan, gets to play himself in every role in films made with friends

Sean Connery - James Bond, Roald Amundsen, Robin Hood, Indiana Jones' father, King Agamemnon, King Richard the Lionheart, King Arthur, and if you believe some people, James Bond again in The Rock.

Paul Newman. The Hustler/Color of Money, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy, the guy from the Sting, Reggie from Slapshot and the old guy in The Road To Perdition. I won't mention The Hudson Hornet

James Garner as Rockford who set the tone for being fallible and unafraid to go to the cops for help.
Other cool roles in: Grand Prix,Great Escape and Maverick.

I don't know about the coolest role, but the luckiest roles I may have to give to Adam Sandler. Always gets his dime piece co stars:

Brookyln Decker/Jennifer Anniston
Kate Beckinsale
Salma Hayek
Jessica Biel
Emmanuelle Chriqui
Julie Bowen
Katie Holmes
Teresa Palmer
Bridgette Wilson


Bash his movies all you want. I'm sure he's swimming just fine in his millions and on screen love partners haha


ETA: now that I think about it. his roles are pretty cool also. They're always in bad arse areas like Hawaii, LA, Africa, the PGA Tour

Adrian Grenier's history in Entourage would be tops for dime Co-star history imo

ah great call! I'd also have to call that the luckiest role whereas Sandler pretty much had a say in all his movies so he had that advantage.

But yes, I'd def say Vinny Chase is one bad arse role to land. I'll even throw little pizza boy E in there to since he lands Sloan and has a 3 way with her.
