Are there any actors that you will watch things just because they are in them?

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

I've realised that Toni Collette is one of those actors for me, I'll give something a go even if it's not my usual thing because she's a good actor and also seems to have sound judgement of what's a good script/idea. I've just started watching Pieces of Her and it seems pretty good so far (one episode in).

Also Joshua Jackson, although I haven't watched The Affair yet. And Susan Sarandon, although she's around much less these days.

People who put me off a bit are Melissa McCarthy, she's a really good actress but she's agreed to star in some terrible stuff so I always make sure it's going to be worth watching before I give it a go. I find Laura Linney, Juliette Lewis and Jason Bateman vaguely annoying in almost everything so generally discount anything they are in.

Ralph Fiennes

Steve Pemberton - he's not just LoG or Inside No9 , he's brilliant in serious roles i've re watched Whitechapel and sat through Killing Eve because of him.

Stephen Graham - his accent , love a Liverpool accent

And Ryan Reynolds , because you know what youll gett

Robert Deniro. He didn't age for years. Maybe late 90s.

I love Toby Jones. I could watch him reading the phone book aloud.

The man can act anything, even being one legged.

Oh and Paul Bettany.

Tom Hanks and Tom Hollander

@Spaghettio

Yes! Surely they must’ve written that character just for Baranski. She’s perfectly wicked.
And you certainly know this, but I didn’t — that their niece, “Marian Brooks” is played by the real-life daughter of Meryl Streep, Louisa Jacobson. I don’t think I could’ve guessed that. There is a familiarity, but not so much that I’d guess they’re mother and daughter.

I don't know that - but now that you've said it, it makes sense! I've been doing that "she looks familiar" thing but I knew I hadn't seen her before! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dominic West
Jennifer Saunders
Jason Stathom

sorryforswearing

Bill Nighy

How on God’s green earth could I have overlooked Bill?

Just found another actor, Netflix sent me a recommendation and I added it to my list because it has Jesse Plemons in it.

Brenda Blethyn
Mackenzie Crook
Toby Jones
Jason Watkins
Toni Collette,

I usually watch anything with David Tennant or Nicola Walker in it and avoid Olivia Colman or James Nesbit programmes like the plague.

Fellow Nicola Walker devotees, the split series 3 starts in April - www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/the-split-season-3-release-date/

Tom hanks is an absolute legend. I’d watch him paint a room 🤣

Ryan Reynolds is also a hit here

Equally, if Jim Carey is in it, I won’t entertain it at all

Harriet Walter and Fiona Shaw. That period when they were both in Killing Eve at the same time (though sadly never in the same scene) was a high point in my life.
