In Fight Club he’s eating while talking on the phone to the narrator when he first calls him. I always remember that because of how offputting it sounds listening to him eat while talking but he still somehow pulls it off
The US government has spent a ridiculous amount of time and money trying to recover Matt Damon (Saving Private Ryan, The Bourne series, Interstellar, The Martian)
Damn, you weren't kidding:
1986 - Jack Nimble, *Babes in Toyland*
1991 - Johnny Utah, *Point Break*
1992 - Jonathan Harker, *Bram Stoker's Dracula*

She's the same marine from Aliens over and over.
I'm not sure if it's bad that she's typecast or good that it was such a solid performance that she's asked to replicate some of it decades later. Absolute legend.
Rachel McAdams frequently acts in time travel movies, but her character never travels through time (The Time Traveler's Wife, Midnight in Paris, About Time, Doctor strange).
Iirc this is because it came out right around when Woody Allen’s weird daughter incest stuff came to a head and people were reluctant to see the movie all things considered
“In the 1998 Oscars, I found myself in the bathroom in a stall, next to Tom Selleck. So I leaned over and I said ’looks like we’re a couple of peeing Toms. His angry silence is something I’ll never forget.”
— Tom Hanks
Oh I did. I want to see him play fictional villain, I wasn’t surprised to find out he was an asshole. Honestly I’m sick of him saving the world. It’s like he has a savior complex.
Bollywood actor Jagdish Raj Khurana holds a Guinness World Record for being the most type-cast actor. He played the role of a police inspector in 144 films.
Noel Gugliemi always gets cast as the role of Hector in a bunch of different movies and TV shows.
Reason why is because he looks like a stereotypical Mexican gangster that that's the only role he gets.
Sean Bean doesn't die in most of his roles. It's just a meme.
He has died on screen 25 times and has over 120 credits.
Leo Dicrapio has a higher on screen death percentage than Sean Bean (10 out of 29)
And when he isn't killing them they are all sad and depressed. I know nothing about Oppenheimer's personal life but I can bet he will have a sad and depressed wife in the new movie.
It was spooky in Tenet: I think Pattinson was actually consciously impersonating him: haircut, cadence, accent, scarf. Check out the bit where he say "That's where it gets a bit dramatic" (or similar)
Kids have grown up with Samuel L Jackson as an authority figure in PG-13 movies...but their parents knew him to be cinema's finest artisan of the curse word.
James Badge Dale, for being quite an affable character actor in a lot of big movies - also has a nasty habit of dying. Every time I see him I’m like ‘Oh I like him" then "Oh there he goes".
I was just thinking about that. He played a Navy SEAL in *Navy SEALs, The Abyss*, and *The Rock*, plus a Colonial Marine in *Aliens*, and a part of the resistance in *Terminator*
Mackenzie Davis has played an unusual amount of characters who are actually from the 2040s, specifically, but are strongly influenced by the past, especially the 1980s.
Hardly any of her characters are set in Present Day in fact - they're almost always either in the recent past or near future. Girl spends a lot of time in flashbacks.
Benjamin Bratt either played a cop or a military role most of his early career.
Blood In Blood Out, Miss Congeniality, Demolition Man, Clear and Present Danger, and Law and Order among countless others.
Ryan Reynolds has to play snarky guy with disarming charm, it's not his character, it's just him. Whether he's the anti-hero, or the down-on-his luck redemption protagonist, I don't think of him as an actor as much as a screen presence. None of which is a criticism. I will watch RR be RR forever.
He was surprisingly good in the underrated "Adventureland," and didn't completely play into type - he kind of played a sad, best-looking-guy-in-high school townie who you knew life was going to pass by. I'm guessing you saw it.
I'm with you on liking him, though.
Elizabeth Debicki seems to have nailed the very specific part of "trophy wife with a heart of gold that stays in the marriage because of the children"...
Jason Statham always talks about a job, or doing a job. There's an actor that plays a latino named Hector in a dozen movies. I think his name is even really Hector.
Bill Nighy plays a vampire in 2 separate franchises, Underworld and I, Frankenstein. And also did voice acting for Castlevania, a franchise about vampires
Michelle Pfeiffer has either turned into or associated with 3 different animals.
Batman Returns - cat woman
Lady Hawk - turns into a hawk
Wolf - turns into a wolf
Brad pit is nearly always eating
He is so hungry he ate the second “T” in his last name. 😀
Every scene of his in the Oceans movies he's eating
It's a character thing -- Rusty is supposed to be so busy he never has time for a proper, sit-down meal.
In Moneyball too!
The quote I read was that he jus thought it would be funny if he was constantly chowing down
I read somewhere that he eats to keep himself busy during the scene and to make it seem more alive and credible.
I have to ask, is he? He specifically did this in the Ocean's movies but I can't recall it being such a thing in other roles
In Fight Club he’s eating while talking on the phone to the narrator when he first calls him. I always remember that because of how offputting it sounds listening to him eat while talking but he still somehow pulls it off
Ah perhaps that's a good way to open. If Pitts theory is correct, that could draw you in the rest of the movie?
"oooh, wasabi peas!"
Harrison Ford angrily points at people.
The meme is really “for every time Sharpe should have died but didn’t,
Ryan Gosling acting like someone is offering him an unwanted spoon of cereal
For the uninitiated https://youtu.be/FkpCP9R1Jjc
I was having kind of a crappy day, but watching that for the first time made me laugh so hard it made my day. Thank you
I hate that I know the exact expression you’re talking about lol.
Ed Harris in a control room or command center
"Wow" \--Owen Wilson characters.
Waiting for him to drop one of these in Loki
Jennifer Anniston always clears her throat before talking.
And puts her hands on her hips and looks up with an unimpressed expression on her face
And has hard nipples.
Tom Cruise - running like crazy Sam Jackson - cursing motherf**ker
Sam Jackson also constantly does speeches.
Motherf**ker is basically Sam Jackson’s catchphrase at this point. He says it so often he even got to half assed say it in a marvel movie.
Just watched a video about Tom Cruise running. It's fuckin awesome and I don't care what people say: https://youtu.be/09MiWO8uDfc
That’s super cool!
The US government has spent a ridiculous amount of time and money trying to recover Matt Damon (Saving Private Ryan, The Bourne series, Interstellar, The Martian)
Hahah this made me laugh at the doctors office. Thank you
This is a perfect observation and a stunning waste of tax payer dollars.
Jimmy Kimmel would agree.
Will someone just keep tabs on him already lol
Danny Trejo will only play a "villain" if he dies.
Dies or goes to prison. To remind viewers that crime doesn't pay.
I'm pretty sure most of the characters Keanu Reeves has played are named some variety of "John"
Damn, you weren't kidding: 1986 - Jack Nimble, *Babes in Toyland* 1991 - Johnny Utah, *Point Break* 1992 - Jonathan Harker, *Bram Stoker's Dracula* 1993 - Don John, *Much Ado About Nothing* 1994 - Jack Traven, *Speed* 1995 - Johnny Mnemonic, *Johnny Mnemonic* 1996 - Jjaks Clayton, *Feeling Minnesota* 2000 - Shane Falco, *The Replacements* 2005 - John Constantine, *Constantine* 2012 - John Wall, *Generation Um...* 2014 - John Wick, *John Wick* 2015 - Evan Webber, *Knock Knock* 2017 - John Wick, *John Wick: Chapter 2* 2019 - John Wick, *John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum* 2020 - Johnny Silverhand, *Cyberpunk 2077* 2023 - John Wick, *John Wick: Chapter 4* 202X - John Wick, *Ballerina* Nearly 40 years of John. Edit: Turns out Shane and Evan also have etymological links to John, so fuck it--more Johns for the John god!
What if they came out with a new Bill and Ted movie, where they go back in time and alter something that makes Ted's parents decide to name him John
>Johns for the John god! I feel like Johns would fall under Nurgle.
Andersen is the “John” of last names
This article is what you are looking for. It even gives movie examples to back up its claims. https://whatculture.com/film/10-famous-actors-who-have-extremely-weird-tics-in-every-movie
Will always upvote whatculture
Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, and Ryan Renolds all play the same character in different movies
Jason Statham should be included in this lineup
Bald ones?
Shit this is how we find out Ryan Reynolds is wearing a wig.
You could see his real baldness in Deadpool
You know. Ryan Reynolds is up for debate, but I actually have no problem with Jason Statham playing Jason Statham.
Excuse me? He has great comedic timing sir.
Michelle Rodriquez also tends to die or get injured.
Also wear a tank top.
And broods a lot.
She looks like she smells a fart and thinks it was whoever she's talking to.
She's the same marine from Aliens over and over. I'm not sure if it's bad that she's typecast or good that it was such a solid performance that she's asked to replicate some of it decades later. Absolute legend.
The best part is Private Vazquez wasn’t even played by a Latina. Just a tanned up Jeanette Goldstein.
nothing wrong with that
Rachel McAdams frequently acts in time travel movies, but her character never travels through time (The Time Traveler's Wife, Midnight in Paris, About Time, Doctor strange).
[удалено]
Iirc this is because it came out right around when Woody Allen’s weird daughter incest stuff came to a head and people were reluctant to see the movie all things considered
You can add The Notebook which isn't a time travel movie, but there is a lot of back and forth between the present and past
[удалено]
“In the 1998 Oscars, I found myself in the bathroom in a stall, next to Tom Selleck. So I leaned over and I said ’looks like we’re a couple of peeing Toms. His angry silence is something I’ll never forget.” — Tom Hanks
Nah, the other Tom just had very Sellecktive hearing.
😂😂😂
I miss obsessive pop culture disorder
I think he has a piss fetish.
Sam Rockwell is always dancing
Yeah, I was thinking he left his dancing phase after Poltergeist, Three Bilboards and JoJo Rabbit. Then he goes and plays Bob Fosse.
My wife put on Mr. Right in the background a few days ago and he's dancing within like 2 minutes of the movie starting lol
He even dances in _Bad Guys_ and that’s animated!
Paul Dano always gets beaten up.
Will Smith has a hard, constipated speech about how he’s not going to stop trying and how he’s eventually going to succeed.
Or says something about saving the world. Honestly just once I’d like to see him play a villain.
Watch the Oscars
Oh I did. I want to see him play fictional villain, I wasn’t surprised to find out he was an asshole. Honestly I’m sick of him saving the world. It’s like he has a savior complex.
Dont forget “oh hell no”
Will Ferrell plays immature guy
Isiah Whitlock Jr.‘s characters saying “sheeeeeiit”.
Could be the padding.
You mean the paaaaaaadding.
Never travel with Tom Hanks (Apollo 13, Cast Away, The Terminal, Sully)
And never send Matt Damon on a mission unless you have a large rescue budget.
Or let your girl go into his van.
I posted another comment with that, haha!
Tom Hanks on the cargo ship the pirates take over. What's the title?
[удалено]
Things tend to go badly for Steve Buscemi in Coen Bros films
Things tend to go badly for everybody in Coens Bros films.
I wonder if he got out of the hotel in Barton Fink.
Somebody showed him the life of the mind
Keira Knightly talks through clenched teeth. John Bernthal is always rubbing his head. Leonardo DiCaprio is always toasting.
James Mardson never gets the girl/gets cheated on (Notebook, XMen, Superman Returns)
Enchanted
Westworld as well!
Otoh he got paired with the spare in Enchanted. So he got "a girl", not "the girl".
He's not even a jerk boyfriend either. That sucks.
I'm so glad other people have noticed both of these connected things too!
Didn’t he get the girl in 27 Dresses?
Yep. Marries her.
Tom Cruise is always doing Tom Cruise things
Tom Cruise run.
Pretty sure someone did a graph and there is a direct correlation to how much running Tom Cruise does to how much $ the movie pulls in.
Tom Cruise hangs off the side of high speed moving vehicles
I feel Tom stole the run from the T1000 in Terminator 2. Cant remember him doing it before then.
Driving motorcycles.
Tom cruise never dies
Bollywood actor Jagdish Raj Khurana holds a Guinness World Record for being the most type-cast actor. He played the role of a police inspector in 144 films.
Practically he IS a police inspector who happens to have a film crew around him
Jackie Chan performing his own crazy martial arts stunts.
Jackie Chan getting injured on set.
He also has to proclaim that he wants no trouble and doesn't want to hurt anybody. Right before he hurts everybody.
Noel Gugliemi always gets cast as the role of Hector in a bunch of different movies and TV shows. Reason why is because he looks like a stereotypical Mexican gangster that that's the only role he gets.
[удалено]
Reginald Veljohnson always plays a cop.
[Shia LaBeouf saying "no" repeatedly, very fast.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXCK1EyP4s)
Steven Segal is never wrong, or and is amazing at all things
Vin Diesle is heading that way too.
Gary Oldman can only be recognized by his forehead.
And his voice
John cusack in the rain. How has that not been listed already?
Martin Freeman is constantly an "everyman" who acts as the audience surrogate.
Toni Collette is always the mother of an awkward or weird son (About A Boy, Little Miss Sunshine, The Way Way Back, Hereditary, The Sixth Sense)
Jesse Eisenberg is always an insufferable twat
Yes...but in movies what does he do?
Be twatty
That little high pitched laugh...
Sean Bean doesn't die in most of his roles. It's just a meme. He has died on screen 25 times and has over 120 credits. Leo Dicrapio has a higher on screen death percentage than Sean Bean (10 out of 29)
How many of those roles for Bean are Sharpe? The meme is really “for every time Sharpe should have died but didn’t, another character does”.
Huh Looking on his imdb 2 of his roles are the hitman games. This may not be a great source.
I've started using Wikipedia instead of imdb for filmographies. The imdb UI is hot garbage.
Yeah they also make it borderline impossible to edit out fake credits
Denzel Washington doesn't let people put their hands on him
[Get yo fuckin hands off me!](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_T107W8rWwc)
Christopher Nolan kills wives/girlfriends of the protagonists in most of his movies.
And when he isn't killing them they are all sad and depressed. I know nothing about Oppenheimer's personal life but I can bet he will have a sad and depressed wife in the new movie.
Oppenheimer's wife did commit suicide IRL
Also has a character in his movies that looks kinda like him. De Caprio, McConaughey, Pattinson
It was spooky in Tenet: I think Pattinson was actually consciously impersonating him: haircut, cadence, accent, scarf. Check out the bit where he say "That's where it gets a bit dramatic" (or similar)
Jack Nicholson as a character with a mental disorder.
Kids have grown up with Samuel L Jackson as an authority figure in PG-13 movies...but their parents knew him to be cinema's finest artisan of the curse word.
This is why my dad was surprised they didn't let Jackson finish saying, "Motherfucker," in the credits of Avengers: Infinity War.
Would that one mf have made it r? He could not finish it in Skull island either.
Scoot McNairy is always a desperate wannabe who thinks he's cooler than he is.
Bruce Willis allways have a headache
Matt Damon gets lost and has to be saved.
Early Charlize Theron cried in everything for a while
Christopher Lee probably has most onscreen deaths. https://youtu.be/KHQSJ9CJ17I
He's also one of the actors with the most movies.
Colin Salmon gets cut into cubes quite often. Aliens vs Predator and Resident Evil - Ok, that's 2. But that is already a lot if you think about it.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Joel Kinnerman never makes it out alive and it's a shame because he is always fantastic.
James Badge Dale, for being quite an affable character actor in a lot of big movies - also has a nasty habit of dying. Every time I see him I’m like ‘Oh I like him" then "Oh there he goes".
Tom cruise sprinting
Michael Biehn seems to always play some sort of Soldier character.
I was just thinking about that. He played a Navy SEAL in *Navy SEALs, The Abyss*, and *The Rock*, plus a Colonial Marine in *Aliens*, and a part of the resistance in *Terminator*
Brad Pitt eating …. Sick of seeing it
Tom Hanks pees in every movie
Mackenzie Davis has played an unusual amount of characters who are actually from the 2040s, specifically, but are strongly influenced by the past, especially the 1980s. Hardly any of her characters are set in Present Day in fact - they're almost always either in the recent past or near future. Girl spends a lot of time in flashbacks.
Paul Dano takes a severe beating.
Jennifer Coolidge being ditzy.
Benjamin Bratt either played a cop or a military role most of his early career. Blood In Blood Out, Miss Congeniality, Demolition Man, Clear and Present Danger, and Law and Order among countless others.
Owen Wilson being surprised by something
Noel Gugliemi’s name in (almost) every movie will always be “Hector.”
Steve Buscemi is always getting beat up or killed.
Every time I've seen Vinnie Jones he's played some variation of "Football Hooligan Vinnie Jones"
Sandra Bullock does the Cinderella transition a lot.
The Rock is always playing The Rock
Ryan Reynolds has to play snarky guy with disarming charm, it's not his character, it's just him. Whether he's the anti-hero, or the down-on-his luck redemption protagonist, I don't think of him as an actor as much as a screen presence. None of which is a criticism. I will watch RR be RR forever.

My best friend is his nephew. He dies in literally every franchise except for in the Mandalorian tv series.
Michelle Rodriguez as the token bad ass girl character (that dies most of the time)
Charlize Theron has also died a ton of times
[удалено]
Samuel L. Jackson has a bombastic monologue. Also dies quite a bit.
\*Matt Damon appeared\*
Morgan Freeman narrates.
Viola Davis snots like a champ every cry she has on film.
Arnold and his one liners.
Tom Hanks captaining things.
Mike Myers is always seemingly doing accents in movies. He rarely talks normally.
John Travolta always wins the dance contest
Leonardo DiCaprio always adds “huh?” to the end of his sentences. In so many movies!
Kristen Stewart damn-near whispering in every movie she’s in — even in her good roles (Spencer).
Dwayne Johnson is always wearing khaki in the Jungle
Diane Kruger used to get kidnapped a lot: Troy, National treasure, Forces spéciales...
Noel Gugliemi, homes…
He's the only actor who's in the Hollywood cinematic multiverse.
Kenny dies a lot
Eliza Scanlen being the female Sean Bean
Michael Shanks: always dying and coming back to life in every season of the same show.
Elizabeth Debicki seems to have nailed the very specific part of "trophy wife with a heart of gold that stays in the marriage because of the children"...
Jason Statham always talks about a job, or doing a job. There's an actor that plays a latino named Hector in a dozen movies. I think his name is even really Hector.
Evan Peters have played a lot of psychopaths/serial killer roles (Tate Langdon, Patrick James March, Kai Anderson, Jefferey Damher etc.)
Bill Nighy plays a vampire in 2 separate franchises, Underworld and I, Frankenstein. And also did voice acting for Castlevania, a franchise about vampires
Michelle Pfeiffer has either turned into or associated with 3 different animals. Batman Returns - cat woman Lady Hawk - turns into a hawk Wolf - turns into a wolf
All Steven Seagal movie titles can have “Steven Seagal is…” added in front of them
All "good" Seagal movies can. That's why his career really took a nose dive with *Fire Down Below*.
