Movie/film suggestions.

@immatthewj Matt Damon can be pretty powerful. So is Pacino. I was very pleasantly surprised with goofy old Ted Danson in Man on the Inside. One of the best performances ever, he is the coolest!

Sam Rockwell was superb in The Green Mile 

Here are a couple of more that I enjoyed and may not be super well known. I liked them because they both portrayed a gritty story that seemed believable to me, and although there were no superstars of the acting world, I thought that the actors that were cast did an okay job of coming off as realistic,

Winter’s Bone (a google says 2010) did feature Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Dale Dickey . . . and was set in the Ozarks and involved a situational crisis related to poverty in the meth belt.

I didn’t think Wind River was as good, but it was still quite watchable for me. Set on The Wind River Indian Reservation of Wyoming (which is no doubt partly the reason I enjoyed it--I could relate to the setting) it was a tale that revolved around the murder of a Native American woman. (I just did a google and see that it was a 2017 Taylor Sheridan Movie which doesn’t really win any points from me, as I cannot stand Yellowstone.) Anyway, it featured Jeremy Renner who came off a bit bigger than life, but I guess you gotta have that with Taylor Sheridan, and in my opinion he did not ruin the movie. Also featured were Elizabeth Olsen and Gil Birmingham.

"Clooney has maybe 4, his characters become him..."

Tell you who made an incredibly successful career out of playing the same character(himself)in every movie, and that was Cary Grant.

that was Cary Grant

OK, so good looks and charisma sold way before color films. I guess if your own persona is freaking cool, just stick to it. Not everybody needs to be Jeremy Strong.
