Matthew McConaughey

Saved his career when he did Tropic Thunder.
He was on a brutal streak of movies. Then he was actually in a good movie and finally gave a funny performance.
Then he almost killed it again with Ghosts of Girlfriends Past..
but rebounded nicely with Lincoln Lawyer. Ever since then he's been on a roll.
Most if not all the movies since 2011 have been getting good reviews and he's delivered good performances. Looking forward to his new HBO show as well.
What other actor do you think can turn it around in the future?

Yep, Lincoln Lawyer was the turnaround.

Who knows? I'd love to see that nut, Nicolas Cage, get on a roll. He occasionally sneaks a good performance in (Lord of War), but it's been awhile since he's had any kind of consistency. Too bad, because he's got a lot of natural talent.

Colin Ferrell
He's done some decent smaller stuff like In Bruges but he's also done some total shitfests most recently like that vampire movie and Total Recall.
Similar to MM, he was the "IT" actor for a little while but never broke out like expected.
I think he's off to a good start reinventing himself like MM after his performance in Saving Mr. Banks.

Gerard Butler. Should have been cast in Les Mis in place of Russell Crowe.

All McConaughy did was stop doing lame romantic comedies. Maybe he just got tired of them. Its not like he suddenly got talented over night. I assume he enjoyed those type of roles otherwise he wouldn't have kept doing them.

He's on a huge roll

This he's always done a good job with his roles it's just that he's now picking good movies

I was talking about it tonight, but Jesus he had a brutal streak of horrible chick flicks. But now he is on an incredible run of really good movies. I've always thought that McConaughey was a very underrated actor who needed bigger roles, and finally he's getting them. Next year he's the star in a Christopher Nolan film, so he's turned it around completely. I wish him the best, since he's a great guy and a great actor.

I love McConaughey.
But y'all seem to forget that he basically played himself in Magic Mike and that one came out after Lincoln Lawyer.

My question is was he offered these good roles previously? I personally think he was merely offered chick flicks and Brad Furman took a chance with him, and other film makers started to see that he was a better actor than they thought. He was doomed in the chick flick genre, but he has fortunately transcended it. I've long been an advocate of McConaughey's acting and am glad that it is finally being recognized.
That said, Chiwetel Ejiofor should have gotten the Globe tonight.

Robert Downey Jr. is the definition of an actor who turned his career around.
