Good one.

Yea that’s a good call for sure. I watched Chef recently, and he was excellent as the wing man. Same for his part in Lincoln Lawyer.

I think I've seen maybe 3-4 of those. That would be a good one to get out my wheelhouse a bit.



90% of romantic comedies are garbage with ridiculous ending and meet cutes, etc.

For some reason they've really fallen out of style for better or worse. Shotgun Wedding, Lost City, and Anyone but You are the only ones with any sort of major release or fanfare in the last couple of years. i think Streaming really killed them.

Occassionaly you'll have one that is a tier above and avoid the tropes. Crazy Stupid Love and About Time are the ones off the top of my head.

Enrico Colantoni - enjoyed him as the bad guy on “Person of Interest” and he seems to pop up in some bit part every now and then . . . he usually steals the scene.

Enrico Colantoni is solid as well. loved him as Keith Mars, but him in Galaxy Quest was awesome. fun fact, he created the way he delivered his lines in Galaxy quest on his own

Another Miami Vice actor. His acting debut was in the episode "Sons and Lovers." He played Orlando Calderone.

That's a really good one IMO. I wouldn't have even thought about him. He did have leading/side role on Just Shoot Me though?

Now I just want to watch Galaxy Quest while watching NCAAT.

Dale Dickey

If you need a rough, tough, crusty, older southern woman, she’s as good as it gets…From Winter’s Bone to Justified to Hell Or High Water, she’s awesome.

Always liked William Fichtner in everything he pops up in.

Lance Henriksen has played every role there is.

Michael Biehn also pretty good, maybe not as versatile.

I think Goggins is more of a lead. He's great in everything, we all know that. One of the best of our generation here.

I can definitely roll with this list.

Specifically --- Johnny C is a terrific actor and solid dude. Just listen to him talking about his son. That's all I'll say.
