character actors you get excited to see in movies

Lance Reddick saying “they always do” in Destiny after the one strike is the #1 videogames thing I make reference to that nobody around me understands.

Ronny Cox is one of those dudes i always recognize in movies but never remember their name

also i love seeing john c. mcginley in that weird phase he had in the '90s where he would just show up as a heavy in trash action movies like on deadly ground and surviving the game. theres this scene in on deadly ground where hes just absolutely trashing the entire fucking set and chewing scenery and its incredible


he gets so mad at ice-t in the middle of this scene where gary busey monologues for like 3 minutes about having to kill his dog as a 12 year old from surviving the game that he forgets how to open a door. truly one of the greats

speaking of HBO actors i really like harold perrineau

Augustus-Hill-oz-hbo-11078298-500-400

who everyone remembers from the matrix

and hes currently in claws

which has ANOTHER actor i get excited about, dean norris as uncle daddy
selfie-with-uncle-daddy-claws

oh and hes here with dale dickey who was patty the daytime hooker in my name is earl and also the wolf grandma in true blood!

okay so theres three more i get excited about i guess!!

This movie is the most peak Seagal movie ever. It’s amazing. So much bullshit in a movie that ends with a PowerPoint. As I recall, it’s got Billy Bob Thorton in a bit part as well.

billy bob is in the movie for like 3 minutes but he delivers this incredible monologue about how he isnt sure if he should have the stock of his gun in or out because when he shoots seagal he doesnt want to feel like a pussy. it is incredible

That whole movie rules. Having watched 36 Steven Seagal movies, it is easily in the top five, if not maybe the tops itself. Seagal’s vision quest alone is peak shitty action movie cinema.

i used to use the part from the vision quest where he touches a feather to seagal’s forehead and he falls over as a transition between OBS scenes lol. there is so much going on in that fucking movie

Have you seen Out for a Kill? It’s really the only Seagal movie that rivals On Deadly Ground for the sheer amount of ridiculous bullshit that happens in like every minute.

all i remember from out for a kill is the terrible 3d bullet effect and seagal sitting in a chair fighting a weird monkey man who flies around the room on a wire
