I’m not going to post his entire library

Robert Davi- first guy I thought of when I saw your title. I even had to look up his name.

Probably because everyone takes 1 look and thinks it is Tim Roth




He is, though, a very good actor

I feel like Mark Pellegrino belongs in here




Dude has been steadily working with a ton of credits. First time I saw him was Lethal Weapon 3 in 92

Met him in Olive or Twist in BR a few years ago. As soon as we walked in I shouted “That’s the monkey butt guy!”

Margo Martindale, although Bojack Horseman may have made more people aware of her name.

I always laugh when I see her as the whore in Lonesome Dove. She’s come a long way.

Gary Cole.



Funny in The Brady Bunch movies, Office Space, and Dodgeball, tragic in The Joneses, and dramatic where needed. Highly underrated.
