Your favorite 'that guy' actors?

[pete's montreux]

Don't know what a 'that guy' actor is? It's an actor that's in a lot of movies, and you always say, "hey, it's that guy, what's his name!?" And it takes you a few minutes to remember. The actor is in a lot of movies, is a character actor, and has played in a leading role very rarely if at all.

So, without any further adieu:

A face only a science fiction fan could love.

Has acted in such great films as:

Scanners
Top Gun
Total Recall
the Next Karate Kid
Starship Troopers
the Machinist
Terminator: Salvation

So, what's yours?

Yahoo messed up and got Tom Brady the director mixed up with Tom Brady the football player.

[johndeeregreen]

Some really good ones so far. Honestly I can't think of many, because I usually wiki someone if they look familiar and they cease being a 'that guy' for me, and usually they're very well known anyway, like Jack Warden or Ward Bond.

Michael Caine is absolutely NOT a "that guy," he's Michael friggin' Caine. Academy Awards for Best Supporting in '86 and '99, noms for Best Actor in '66, '72, '83, and '02. The reason the film gets instantly better is because he's a legendary actor, not a "that guy."

The actor is in a lot of movies, is a character actor, and has played in a leading role very rarely if at all.

http://files.myopera.com/bcaner/albums/161820/Marlon%20Brando.jpg

That guy! What's his name?

[JayGuevara]

I don't think Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo, and John Leguizamo really count. Maybe John Leguizamo, but he was The Pest. :confusedshrug:

I don't know if he really qualifies either, but not too long ago I was havin a discussion about Michael Biehn, and how he had some big roles in big movies, but he was always outshined by somebody else in the flick and never really got much love cuz of it.

Terminator, he was outshined by Arnold. Tombstone definitely by Val Kilmer and probably Kurt Russell also. In The Rock his role wasn't as big as Kyle Reese or Johnny Ringo, but he had Ed Harris, Nick Cage, and Connery ahead of him on the depth chart. That movie actually had a lot of people in it, the Candyman, Richie from Out For Justice, Dr. Cox from Scrubs, Can't-Get-Right from Life, and probably some other cats I can't remember right now. Aliens, he didn't have Arnold or Val Kilmer, but Sigourney Weaver was obviously the main main character. Planet Terror his role was smaller also.

But moral of the story is, Michael Biehn needs more props.

because of his untimely death, i consider john cazale a "that guy" actor. sure he was a great loser low life in the handful of movies he was in, kinda typecast into that role, but every movie he was in was a classic. what could have been if he was able to spread his wings? and he pulled meryl streep at her peak. that is some pimp shti right there.

[ZeN]

Richard Jenkins? He's moved from a 'that guy' to Richard Jenkins. He's on a full name basis now.


Forget that.. if the barometer is the picks in this thread.. then mine is a decent one, regardless of his latest greatest role..


Every film that he is in.. hes the 'that guy' dude. Even those who frequent films, dont particularly know who Richard Jenkins is.

Even in notable mainstream films like 'Step Brothers' or 'Burn After Reading' most people couldnt recall his name to save their life.. :confusedshrug:

richard jenkins was great as the dead father in HBO's six feet under. that was a good show in my opinion. speaking of which, freddy rodriguez has had some strong performances, but he still may be a that guy. i guess that is up for debate.

freddy was solid in Harsh Times with Bale.. but now hes probably become 'that guy from Planet Terror'

[AmoebaD]

the problem with "that guy" is that these individuals are strong actors who have found their niche in supporting roles. regardless of their great performances they are not the main draw and that is okay. especially the older guys, being a that guy just means they have longevity and the ability to adapt in the industry. how about chazz palminteri, robert davi, etc.. it is hard to define what encompasses "that guy".

how the hell is it hard to explain.. when the first portion of your post sums it up in a good enough way.. :confusedshrug:

[AmoebaD]

read the caption. he did what, 6 movies, all classics. but he never was the main guy. brilliant actor, i know its a stretch, i still wanted to put it out there.

[pete's montreux]

Reading comprehension? I said he's graduated to a full name basis, I didn't say he always was.

And 'that guy' are actors who appear in lots of films and you can't remember their name. Turtorro, Cazale, Caine, Rudd, Buscemi, none of these guys fit the criteria.

I figured I didn't have to explain it, but I guess I have to. :rolleyes:

The reason they're "that guys" is because they're neutral. They don't suck, but they're not great. They bat .250. Their roles serve a purpose, don't leave you wanting more, and are forgettable. That why you can't remember their names.

Have you watched Cazale's films? He was a brilliant actor. He hardly fits the criteria.

[AmoebaD]

i retract cazale. i have substandard reading comprehension.

That is sooo accurate, the guy came out in like 5 films and he displayed brilliance in nearly all of them. And it sucks that cancer took em in his 40's the man could have garnished much prestige, like many of his counterparts Deniro,Pacino, etc..

Fair enough. Personally, the scene in which he argues with the security guard at the detention facility in the Visitor instantly shot him up to full name basis for me. That scene made the whole movie. Incredible emotion. I wish I had seen it in the theater.

Oldman obviously isn't 'that guy' but besides Daniel Day Lewis possibly, he's the best living actor IMO. Guy is a complete chameleon and he can also play more subtle, undertoned characters like commissioner Gordon. Shame he never had the leading man look or he'd be the biggest movie star ever.

Same goes for Philip Seymour Hoffman, guy is brilliant in everything he does but due to genes, we see more of Channing Tatum than we do of him. Natural selection I guess, but I digress :oldlol:

He's more of your supporting role type of guy. I don't see him in anything else at this point than intense villain type of roles but he does it better than most as a young actor. And the movies he's been in, he kept them entertaining. So' I'd pick him in this category.
