wait, who doesn't like Jason Statham? He plays the same role in every film, and he does it spectacularly.



You know, he's way more subdued and isn't "the tough guy" in Snatch. More just the guy who knows how the world works.

That's pretty early in his career, but the wife loves that movie so I tend to think of him along those lines. I think it was The Transporter that solidified him into the character we think of him now.

I love Jason Statham movies. I watched Crank one night higher than a giraffe's arse and it was spectacular.

The Duke - John Wayne


Wayne actually played a variety of character types, and went out of his way to do so... but he was hampered by being John Wayne.

After awhile he just shrugged and went along with it. You will note that beloved actor Tom Hanks has not played, for example, a cannibalistic pedophile in any of his movies.

Yes, I know there are those last remnants to the most extreme QAnon holdouts still lingering here.

Take Vince Vaughn off that list and otherwise it's spot on.

Cera is spot on to be ranked so high by Google's search engine.

Shite, you could just put all the "mumblecore" or Apatow not ready for primetime players on Mt. Rushmore.

My Google search using your subject line also came up with:

Seth Rogan
Zooey Daschenel
Zach Galifianakis

I disagree with Adam Sandler. He has done some serious roles pretty well.

Adam Sandler
Paulie Shore----thank goodness his 15 minutes are up
Slim Pickins---always the sidekick
Jack Palance----quiet intimidating, menacing type
Charles Bronson---man's man, prone to react with violence
Andy Devine----rotund guy used for comic relief in most films
