For me it’s Karl Urban, Angelica Houston, Ryan Gosling, Tilda Swinton, Gary Oldman, and Jeff Bridges. Honorable Mention to Weird Al Yankovich.

        Cruise is one of those actors who is good if the role is within his range. I think it’s fair to say he is an okay actor at best, but AMAZiNG for choosing his roles.

      I feel like Cruise and especially in his latter years has really gotten a knack for understanding good scripts in the Action/SciFi genre. If he decides to be in the movie, it’s a good chance it’s going to be good. Edge of Tomorrow, THM, MI have been excellent.

    Agreed on Karl Urban and Gary Oldman. Probably Tilda Swinton too.

    Also Harry Dean Stanton, Sam Rockwell, Judi Dench, Anna Kendrick and Jean Reno. And likely more…

    Jim Carrey, Steve Coogan, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Jimmy Stewart, Hugo Weaving, Kristen Wiig, Jemaine Clement, Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon. Just looking at that list I realise I probably quite like comedy.

    Ian Tracey.

    He was doing mostly bit parts from what I’d seen (X-files, Highlander, Poltergeist: The Legacy, etc, etc) until I caught Intelligence (2005-2007) on early Netflix and from there on I was sold.

    I then went back and caught the DaVinci’s stuff and enjoyed that.

    Then he popped up in Sanctuary, Continuum, and Bates Motel. At this point I know anything I see him in, I’m going to enjoy without fail.

    I really should get around to listing the actors whose names I see in the credits and automatically relax and start enjoying myself because I know it’ll be good. Matthew MacFayden and Keeley Hawes are two more.
