Best TV Actors who never really broke through to Film

Go back to Mexico.

 

Ooh ooh.....I spoke to god it's personal....accept my apologies...

 

Watch dream lover - underrated movie

 

I saw that movie many years ago (I think). Don't remember it too well.

 

I remember it: its a decent old-style, psychological drama, the likes of which we'll probably never see again becsuse of how the movie business is.

 

Nah, the guy is a genius in his TV work and hasn't quite gotten the big movie role he would deserve

 

Where have you been the past 20 years?? Kevin Spacey has Won 2 Oscars!!

 

Yeah X, what the F?

 

Pretty in Pink was a hit and a movie classic.
Stargate was a hit and spawned a bunch of tv series.
Secretary was a critically acclaimed film and a minor hit.
Mannequin was a popular film that spawned a sequel.
Less than Zero another 80s hit with good reviews.

...and the list goes on. Spader is better known for his films.

 

He has gotten his Emmys and other awards from his work for TV

 

So? The TV industry always feels honored when a former movie actor graces the small screen with his presence. They need to be rewarded!

 

Spader always played the spoiled rich kid the Preppie in 80's films. His movie career dried up when that genre ended at the end of the decade, he got fat and lost his hair, so he had to go into television for paydays.

 

I think you guys are forgetting Spader's Oscar-worthy effort as the villainous werewolf in Wolf.

 

Adrian Paul from Highlander: The Series. Should have been James Bond instead of Brosnan.

 

His delivery and timing were brilliant on the show, especially when he was ripping on obese women. He had mainly only done dramatic roles before that but was so good in that role. I always wanted him to get an Emmy.

Funny thing is that Ed O’Neill was a more accomplished football player than Al Bundy.

He’s from Youngstown, Ohio and sometimes they would throw references to the city on the show, one time Marcy saying she would fuck Ray Mancini.

Unhappily Ever After was awful with the exception of Nikki Cox’s body.

 

Indeed they are. Especially Paul.. people think he’s a good actor?! Wtf.. Breaking Bad was an OK at best show, bunch of sh*t actors saved by an entertaining, albeit f*cking unbelievably retarded, script.

 

Once again, Bryan Cranston is a very capable actor. I dunno how anybody could say otherwise.

But yeah, Aaron Paul is dog shit and cant extend his limit reach past BB.

 

Aaron Paul was great on that show

 

Don Johnson

 

Good one. He was pretty huge in the 80's. Been in a few good films over the years but never as the star.
