Yann Gael - 📽️ Saloum (Jean Luc Herbulot, 2022) The Congolese director and Cameroonian leading man united for a Senegal-set movie that defies genre. It’s a crime-horror-thriller-western whose tone keeps shifting. Gael grounds it all as the revenge-bound former child soldier leading the central trio.

Ginger Rogers - 📽️ Gold Diggers of 1933 (Mervyn LeRoy, 1933) The film’s principal ladies are Aline MacMahon, Ruby Keeler, and the great Joan Blondell—and they rock. But Rogers is here briefly as the conceited Fay and you can feel her destined starpower. Sure enough, she becomes a star the next year.

William Fichtner - 📽️ Drowning Mona (Nick Gomez, 2000) If you see Fichtner pop up in a mediocre-to-solid crime comedy, prepare for him to steal the whole thing. As Bette Midler’s exhausted but conniving husband, he stands out in a stacked ensemble. The guy sure can deliver a dumb, sleazy joke.

Joe Pantoliano - 📽️ Bound (Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski, 1996) The Wachowskis’ wonderful queer erotic crime thriller is one of the best debuts you’ll ever find. Key to its success is Pantoliano with a huge role as the volatile, slippery villain Caesar. He’s equally detestable and mesmerizing.

Gordon Pinsent - 📽️ Away from Her (Sarah Polley, 2007) Polley’s masterful drama nearly won Julie Christie a second Oscar for her depiction of Alzheimer’s. But Pinsent as the even larger role is equally crucial to the film’s heartbreaking impact, and he was one of Canada’s most unheralded talents.

Theresa Randle - 📽️ Girl 6 (Spike Lee, 1996) Thanks to Suzan-Lori Parks’ script, this might be Lee’s funniest movie, and it’s certainly among the most incisive. It feels like Randle deserved to be a major movie star when you watch this brave, blank, and hilarious leading turn. These reaction shots!

David Paymer - 📽️ Quiz Show (Robert Redford, 1994) Paymer is one of the ultimate character actors, and Quiz Show is one of his money roles. As the network executive, he gets to show off his dry rapid-fire patter while scheming. His scenes with Hank Azaria are some of the film’s most fascinating.

Jeff Daniels - 📽️ Terms of Endearment (James L. Brooks, 1983) Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson won Oscars; Debra Winger and John Lithgow were nominated. Daniels was deserving too as the other major role, Professor Flap Horton. He has a tender, subtle redemption and killer chemistry with Winger.

Josh Hartnett - 📽️ The Black Dahlia (Brian De Palma, 2006) Hartnett is a talent who was oft wrongly utilized in his heyday. But a hardboiled noir lead for a great director was such a good fit, and the solid film was underrated. He and Aaron Eckhart sound like detectives who emerged from the ‘50s.

Charles S. Dutton - 📽️ Cookie’s Fortune (Robert Altman, 1999) I miss seeing Dutton in movies. He was a totally unexpected de facto lead of Altman’s ensemble Southern Gothic black comedy opposite Julianne Moore, Liv Tyler, and a conniving Glenn Close. The lovable actor deserved more roles this good.
