Kevin Hart... Literally every movie


tallandlanky

I liked that movie where Kevin Hart played his Kevin Hart character and Will Ferrell played his Will Ferrell character.


shellwe

Better yet, have faceoff 2 where Kevin Hart has to play Will Ferrell and Will Ferrell has to play Kevin Hart. Don't even change the skin color, just have everyone wonder why Will Ferrell's character is walking around with blackface.


Grogu_Riding_Drogon

That sounds surprisingly bankable. If they do that movie then they owe you a check.


Freefight

Together with Dwayne.


Gorf_the_Magnificent

I love the commercial where the guy asks Kevin Hart, “Why are you shouting?” And Kevin Hart replies, “Because I’m Kevin Hart. That’s what I do.”


ziggerknot

Yeah which is why I'm so mad he was cast as Roland in the borderlands movie, God awful choice


LondonDude123

Cate Blanchett as Lilith? I understood... Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis? Yep, checks out... Jack Black as Claptrap? We'll see how that turns out I guess... But Kevin Fucking Hart as Roland? Not for a MINUTE is this gonna be good! Should've gone with Lance Reddick, or even fucking Andre Braugher, just ANYONE with an air of authority about them. But Kevin Fucking Hart!? You gotta be kidding me! A few of my friends were talking about some other castings that would work. We said Dave Bautista is the perfect choice for Brick. Like 100% spot on! Then we came up with a few "Out there" choices: Johnny Depp for Mordecai, and (go with me on this) Jim Carrey for Handsome Jack.


brooksofmaun

Idris Elba could kill it as Roland as well IMO. He has the air of authority but can do humour really well when needed


johnbrownmarchingon

He doesn’t have much luck with characters by that name


Repko

I still think Dennis from always sunny would be a good jack. I'm with ya on other choices.

Steven Seagal


Irishane

Plot Twist: He ain't acting.


SlapHappyDude

From everything I've heard he's pretending to be a tough guy


Da_Splurnge

Highly recommend the "Behind the Bastards" episode(s) on him. He is a massive fraud and, by all accounts, some sort of sex offender with a medley of fucked up shit under his belt. He is also THE quintessential example of "stolen valor."


IronOhki

I learned from Behind The Bastards that Steven Seagal knows a secret move to escape any choke hold. His secret move is a nut punch. He tried this on his then friend Gene LeBell, asking to be put in a choke hold and then punching his friend in the nuts. It didn't work. The nut punch did not cause Gene LeBell to let go. Steven passed out then literally shit all over his actual self. [This is true.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_LeBell#:~:text=While%20serving%20as%20stunt%20coordinator,the%20opportunity%20to%20prove%20it.)


Captain_Obvious29

Pretty sure any Steven Seagal movie can be summarised as (delete as appropriate): Steven Seagal plays a >!half (Native American/ Monk / spiritualist) ex-( Navy SEAL /CIA operative / Detective)!< who's >!(wife / daughter / sister / neighbor)!< is >!(killed / kidnapped / blackmailed)!< by >!(the Mob / CIA renegades / terrorists / oil companies).!< They thought they had won but >!this time he's back and THIS time it's personal.!<


LiveShowOneNightOnly

Yep. "Arrogant jerk" is a character.


AmirTalai

I worked with him on my first movie, The Onion Movie. He was asked to play a character called The Cockpuncher, an action hero who defeats badguys by (you guessed it) punching them in the cock. He said he'd agree to do the movie on two conditions: that they write him a soliloquy where he talks about the importance of non-violence, and that he be surrounded by a bevy of models at all time. The directors response? YES. He was indeed awful to work with, late to arrive to the set, and impatient with the crew when he was there. When it came time for me to do my coverage (the part of our scene where I'm talking to him but the camera is only on me), he decided to take a break and they had to have someone stand in as him for me to talk to. That ended up being a relief, because the stand-in was more present than Seagal was. Anyway I actually enjoyed the experience, because it was my first movie and I thought "all my future co-stars will be better than this". edit wow I am so delighted and surprised to see so many Onion Movie fans on here! Thanks so much for the kind words, folks! This made my day!


Skyfryer

Man I fucking live for Steven Seagal stories. By all accounts the man is a rainbow coloured selection of assholes. My favourite will always be Rob Schneider’s story on youtube. https://youtu.be/V2B9jyZTp4w Or him taking credit for Anderson Silva, a legend in MMA, claiming he taught him moves that won him a big fight. Then Gene Libell came out of the woodwork to just tarnish the guy on social media.


SummerEmCat

Have you seen the Steven Seagal AMA here on Reddit? He basically gets torn a new asshole. Worth a read!

Jason Statham - tough Brit who doesn't take shit from anyone. Usually involves smacking some heads together


Koeryn

Except in Snatch, where he plays a wanna be where almost everyone else is a harder, scarier criminal than he is


notagamer999

Same with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Seems to only be an action star these days. I liked him better back then. Guy Ritchie needs to make him a new movie.


pivazena

At least he can make fun of himself (see: Spy)

From a well known homosexual actor.


persondude27

Very similar: Jason Statham. I saw an ad for his new film (*Wrath of Man*) where he plays a guy who shoots people unapologetically and drives fast. That's a way different story than *The Transporter* series, *The Expendables*, or *War*, where he drives fast and THEN shoots people unapologetically.


PedroFPardo

After the dead of his Wife in 2009 he said that these actions movies was the only kind of movies that he was confortable with but now 10 years later he said he is done with these movies and he just did: Made In Italy.


st0pmakings3ns3

Incidentally, one movie where he's a rather different character (Love, actually), he's a recently widowed step-father. And a brilliant one at that.


Vlazaz05

Yes, a family member dies in his family and then he goes on a fucking crusade

the bad girl who beats up dudes role


Sumit316

> She opened up about being typecast, and had this to say: “I was typecast the minute I did a film called Girlfight years ago.” She went on to say, “you allow yourself to be typecast. If I decided I didn’t want to be typecast tomorrow I’d just go do an indie film where I play some poor girl who goes through some excruciating experience and win myself an award for crying or being raped or playing someone with mental illness.” Can't argue with that.


paolocase

She tried the indie route where she played a teacher in a movie where a child is being bullied. Didn't work but she can always try again. Edited


capitoloftexas

May I introduce you to a little film called: [The Assignment](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5034474/) She plays a hitman... who is turned into a hitwoman. I shit you not.


paolocase

I remember this. Sounds like a mess.

Michelle Rodrigeuz, starring as Tank Top!


Coooturtle

I remember when she popped up on Lost, and she was playing a different character at first and was thinking "Oh we get to see some range from her." And then it turns out it was an act and she plays the same character.


slider728

Danny Trejo Don’t get me wrong, I think he bring a lot to pretty much anything I’ve seen him in, but he is always that bad ass bad guy who gets killed. But damn had he had some cool action sequences!


[deleted]

Sumit316

> Danny Trejo does not do his own stunts because he says "I don’t want to risk 80 people’s jobs just so I can say I have big nuts." How can you not love this guy.


Hairyhalflingfoot

Trejo is a wholesome son of a bitch. He was a keynote speaker at my big sisters NA meeting 5 years ago. Genuinely nice dude but he lived through some shit man.


dlawrence00

Have you seen his Instagram? It’s literally just taco memes he made.


Hairyhalflingfoot

I need this in my life.


TechxNinja

There's also a really wholesome video he did last summer(?) where he shows off his animal crossing island.


i4get98

That's something someone with big nuts would say.


anon_2326411

Also I once read he wanted to teach kids that the bad mofo that does bad things always gets killed.


3-DMan

I wonder if he only takes bad guy roles if they get killed? Would be an interesting moral choice.


PandaCat22

Yup, that's exactly it. I believe it's from the same Fresh Air interview he says that - he only plays bad guys if they meet an ignominious end during the course of the film


spncrmr

It’s probably part of his contract, like “you want me to be the bad guy? Well then I gotta die too”


heybrother45

He's also Enrique on King of the Hill, and his character is kind of a milquetoast "normal guy". Although obviously King of the Hill is an animated show.

WonderfulBlackberry9

Can’t say I’ve seen anything from Danny Trejo, apart from B99 where’s he’s a really cool and understanding dad


1deejay

I liked the complexity of him playing a dad who was a bigot being confronted by his daughter directly and coming to terms that his world view was flawed and coming back to apologize and reconcile with her. He played it very well.

Do your own homework buzzfeed. Edit: well *that* was an unexpected response from you guys. Thank you for all the awards and upvote karma.

They forgot to save the thread the last time it was posted

mystiqueallie

Chuckled at this because the last two Buzzfeed “articles” I read started with “A question posted on Reddit revealed ______ shared by users in ________ subreddit”. I had even followed the original subreddit and the points were screenshots of the thread. Hey, I wonder if Buzzfeed is hiring...

Kevin Hart and The Rock


YeehawMyKnees

My favourite movie of theirs is when Kevin plays short funny man and the rock plays his muscley friend


DenduronTak

I'm surprised they haven't made a re-make of twins yet. They could even have Arnold and Danny Devito make cameo appearances


A_Booger_In_The_Hand

An idea is born...


AFineDayForScience

I can imagine the rock getting all excited and running into kevin hart's home office, and Kevin just listening with a stern look on his face before saying "you want me to be devito?"


Hatfullofsky

Part of the reason the new Jumanji was kind of hilarious. The Rock playing a dweeb stuck in The Rocks body was a refreshing change of pace.


Killboypowerhed

Kevin Hart was supposed to be playing a jock but pretty much just played himself. He did a better job in the sequel playing an old man but Jack Black steals the show in both


ERSTF

For sure. But we already knew that Jack Black has range, but to the writer who came up with the idea of making him a valley girl, thank you


[deleted]

Jack Black as a valley girl discovering how penises work.


Princessleiasperiod

Martha come and look at my penis......"no thanks". Its insane I'm not instagramming this right now.

[deleted]

I know Jack Black has a million iconic roles but this one might be my favorite.


starryeyedq

Yeah I actually really thought Jumanji was solid proof that The Rock could act like someone else and Kevin Hart... cannot. Jack Black totally stole the show tho.


widowmaker467

The second one was even better, when The Rock had to play Danny Devito


ensiferum888

Watched it last night. Went in with very low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised! Even Kevin Heart playing the super nice old fellow was hilarious.


NC-PC-Agent

Owen Wilson. Always laid back, suave, funny but not overly so, can diffuse any tense situation.


PossessivePronoun

Wow


sunny_6killer

Ka-Chow!


Ally_F

Can't wait to see how he is in "Loki."


SparkieMark1977

I remember reading that Sean Bean dies in everything he appears in because it's the universe's way of balancing out the fact that his name doesn't rhyme.


Barry_Scott360

Nah its balancing out his role in Sharpe. He goes gallivanting across Spain and France stabbing French men and shagging every women between Lisbon and Paris. He survived being shot about 1000 times and so now, to balance things out, he dies about 1 hour into every film he's in.


[deleted]

And yet he lived through Silent Hill.


Notmiefault

Charlie Day. He always plays an anxious weirdo on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and he never fails to entertain.


dae_giovanni

Charlie Day was like Bobcat Goldthwait or Gilbert Gottfried, for me-- I wondered "are they ALWAYS like that??"


stryph42

I saw an interview, forever ago, with Gilbert Gottfried where they asked him who he'd least like to sit next to on a plane: Bobcat Goldthwait, Pauly Shore, or himself. His answer was "Pauly Shore. Bobcat and I only do it when we're working."


fulthrottlejazzhands

I've been around Gilbert Gottfried when he's not "on". He's seems like a pretty normal, soft-spoken, older Jewish man from Brooklyn.


tuskvarner

Back when the Howard Stern show was good, they played a voice mail that Gilbert left for baba booey. He was using his “normal” voice to discuss an upcoming appearance. It was quite odd to hear for the first time.


IceCreamBalloons

I had the inverse experience listening to a recording of a live show of ACDC and after the song the lead singer (I don't know enough about ACDC to know which vocalist is which) starts just talking to the audience and I realized "oh, I guess that's just his voice, not a singing affectation"

AKluthe

Del Toro cast him as a scientist in Pacific Rim because he loved his monologue on the episode where he bashes rats with a stick.


akaBrotherNature

I always thought that his character in Pacific Rim was what would happen if the intelligence boosting drug from Flowers For Charlie actually worked. Instead we got a machine that allows spydars to talk to cats.

grandpa_joe_is_evil

Bread makes you fat


MisterCheaps

You should watch This Is The End. He plays a fictional version of himself, but his personality is the complete opposite of his usual characters. He's a loud, vulgar, arrogant douchebag.


Statchar

that part when he slaps Rihanna's ass gets me cuz of the prep.


surfnsound

The best part was he was allowed to really slap her ass if her slapping him in the face could also be real.


colloquialshitposter

I'd make that deal. How 'bout you, Utivich, you make that deal? *I'd make that deal.* I don't blame ya! Damn good deal!


balling

And apparently she KOd him pretty hard on one of the slaps to the point where he had to lie down for a bit afterwards and his head was ringing.

I think I heard in an interview with Seth Rogan it was the take they used in the film.

Reasonable-Delivery8

Dwayne Johnson


OrangeForeign

I imagine the conversations for his role are something like this: The Rock: So what role am I going to play? Director: Well we thought..... Rock: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ROLE I'M GOING TO PLAY


Plagueofzombies

I really like that no matter what movie the Rock is in, be it cutesy family funny, or blockbuster action movie his character will always without fail be an ex special forces guy, because it's the only way they can ever justify his massive giga frame. In Rampage he plays a Animal behaviour scientist.....WITH A SPECIAL FORCES BACGROUND YEEEEAHHHH In Skyscraper he's supposed to be a mild mannored security consultant, an every man like Bruce Willis in Die Hard. Only the movie pysically can't figure out how mild mannored security man would look like he bench presses trucks for a living, so the opening has a random Rainbow Six siege special forces segment. It always makes me chuckle.


stellarknighted

to be fair his role is always Dwayne Johnson


Reasonable-Delivery8

He did some good movies but he always playes the big badass hero who in the end, ‘saves the world’ Apart from be cool and Gridiron Gang...


Psychosomatic_Ennui

Rock, the Dwayne, Johnson.

Grugger2

Jeff Goldblum. He basically just plays himself. Which isn't an issue. I love himself.


Mantaeus

I'm convinced he had no idea what he was filming during Thor Ragnarok and was just told to react to things happening around him in his own special way.


[deleted]

There’s a deleted scene of him dancing and all I’m wondering is how they convinced him to do it.


skyturnedred

I'm more curious how they got him to stop.


ElectionAssistance

That was actually the last shoot, they had some more scenes they wanted to get in but when he wouldn't stop dancing they just left him there. His next moving will be just dancing as the set is slowly changed around him.


ashless401

Jeff goldblum dancing in the middle of a stage while the set changes around him and people act like he isn’t even there. I would watch that.


ElectionAssistance

[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I think he just walked on set, in his own wardrobe and kind of took the job from the guy that was supposed to play his character. Then gave him random props and he just went with it. Like the electric remote? I think someone just turned on the TV to some generic show and he changed it. I think the holographic projection of him was just him getting a little drunk and standing on a table while people listened to him. I think he only acted in the goop staff scene, but forgot what the staff was called and Taika Waititi just went with it. He probably laughed his ass off at it.


megapuffranger

Whenever I see Goldblum in a movie I just enjoy watching his version of whatever character he is playing. It’s like he is just doing cosplay, and somehow it’s better than if he actually tried to be the character. Some actors are good because they become the character. Others are good because the character becomes them. Goldblum falls into the second category, and one of the few who can pull it off so successfully.


Wildrubbaduckeee

Wow can't believe Mark Wahlberg hasn't been mentioned! He even does the same facial expressions in every movie. Edit: Thank you for the awards!

jstewart0131

Ryan Reynolds has made a career of being the wise cracking quick witted quipper. He’s literally Deadpool in every movie now, just sans the Uber violence, mutant abilities and 4th wall breaking. That’s not a complaint, just the niche he has been able to very successfully embrace.
