10 Actors Who WON YOU OVER With ONE Role

[@painfullybored9259]

You mean Kirsten Dunst in Interview with a Vampire which she was nominated for multiple awards. She’s great in Melancholia but we already know her greatness

[@baxtersmom279]

She was great in “Power of the Dog”.

[@KittenUndercover]

I hated Melancholia.

[@baxtersmom279]

@@KittenUndercover I thought it was dull.

[@carriesmigla-didier8900]

Exactly!

[@stevegallo8483]

No mention of Robin Williams? Before Dead Poets Society, he was known for his comedic roles and improv skills. That movie showed his skill in a dramatic role.

[@czguy3045]

Yeah, when it got to the top 3, I assumed he'd be there but nope.

[@fragout9575]

Let alone, Good morning Vietnam, What Dreams May Come and Good Will Hunting to say the least....

[@DarthKilaj85]

Dave Batista has shown he wants to be taken seriously in the craft unlike most Wrestler turned actors who just ride off thier personality its why he will be the first one of them to win an Oscar

[@ciaranmcloughlin7165]

Punch Drunk Love was a great film. Adam Sandler played the most sympathetic protagonist of his whole career. When his character triumphs, it is very satisfying.

[@patrickstiadle3857]

Yeah, totally agree. Really my favorite Adam Sandler movie. He wasn't playing it safe with this one and it shows

[@quintonsm2616]

One of my favourite as well. Very reputable

[@fragout9575]

The Cobbler as well...

[@remo2708]

I would say Ryan Reynolds in Amityville Horror was his first game changer, Liked Click for Sandler, did you forget Dunst in Interview With A Vampire? Bradley Cooper had Limitless earlier, or even Midnight Meat Train that showed he isn’t just the hunky comedy guy, and Efron really changed it up with his go as Ted Bundy before the Ironclaw, but I guess for a wider audience, the movies chosen may be the first times people saw the different actors in different styles.

[@rhythmoriented]

Alicia Vikander in Ex Machina and Anya Taylor-Joy in The VVitch won me over with their amazing performances, and their respective films won me over to A24 as a visionary film studio.

[@Vagabond]

Loved Bradly Cooper in "Limitless" (the movie)....

[@kelleyk28]

My favorite of his.

[@newprophet2011]

In the same movie, Mariah Carey proved herself to be a serious actress as Mo'nique in "Precious." She was fully unrecognizable and convincing. Everyone in that movie did their job and more.

[@GroundhogJay]

With Buried, the perception of Ryan Reynolds changed....and yet, with Deadpool, it all turned immediately back.

[@MrCheezysnacks]

NO HEATH LEDGER?!!!!!! You can't tell me he dont belong here for the joker.

[@destroyerofnations1828]

He did brokeback mountain well before that

[@MsEngelby]

@@destroyerofnations1828 Although Heath did a great job on Brokeback mountain. It was his perfomance as the joker that really broke the "oh he's just a pretty face" actor. Before the joker he was just any pretty boy average actor, and a lot of other actors could probably have done just as great as him in Brokeback. Brokeback was the role that led the industry to think he might be worth taking a chance on for something a tiny bit serious than his previous teen romcom roles, but only just that. His unique and stunning take on the joker's persona cemented the much deserved respect as a top actor in any role. Few actors will achieve what he did with that role, and even fewer socalled pretty boys will be on that list.

[@williamdixon-gk2sk]

​@@MsEngelbyso.. the Patriot, Lord's of Dogtown, Monsters freaking Ball, and internationally: Ned Kelly and Candy (I cry everytime I watch that last one) all flew under your radar? And that's off the top of my head.

[@nork24]

You should make a Power Couple video!

[@skeltonpitts7121]

Reign over me hit me in such a spot

[@Psy8ern3t1k]

As far as Jim Carrey is concerned, he should’ve gotten a mention on this list for The Number 23. That movie was so wildly outside the norm for Carrey that I literally never saw him the same way again. And I keep wanting to see him, and other largely comedic actors, in darker more dramatic roles… Seriously: Imagine if Carrey had been given the freedom to play Edward Nigma more like tortured Walter Sparrow; That would’ve been the defining Riddler performance - before Paul Dano.

[@czguy3045]

Hrmm... I'd have to say his performance was more encompassing in Iron Claw but Zac Efron was great in that Ted Bundy movie. Just the scene where he reacts to the judge handing down the sentence was pretty great.

[@jimstebbins8273]

Um. Reynolds has done plenty of Indy projects, notably the 9s and Voices.

[@jules-yi8rn]

The Nines is way underrated. Sure, it's strange, but what a ride - nice to see you mention it!

[@kelleyk28]

I thought I was the only one who saw Voices. That was so good. A complete surprise all the way through.

[@williamdixon-gk2sk]

Also, he didn't just star In Deadpool. He got that film made because he is a fan. Big difference.

[@psefisato]

Jackie Chan in The Foreigner. A stoic performance leagues away from his usual comedic, acrobatic fare.

[@ristridin_photography]

"Reign over me" is so often overlooked....when Sandlers character opens up I always cry....

[@MsEngelby]

Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron and Heath Ledger.. The pretty faces who proved they were so much more when they got the chance.

[@xandercrews4729]

Matthew McConaughey in True Detective

[@Vampwars]

This one was honestly the moment he transformed from a good Actor to a great Actor. Loved his performance.

[@andrewjmcquinn9996]

Or Dallas Buyers Club

[@xandercrews4729]

@@andrewjmcquinn9996 That too. I credit TD first because I happened to see that before DBC.

[@ericwood1319]

My favorite Sandler obviously is when he plays two characters. Such extreme preparation came into role and it shows. One word: “Dunkachino”

[@anthonywaggett9317]

Carey and Dunst both turned in brilliant performances in Eternal Sunshine. Personally I believe Carey is actually a better dramatic performer than a comedy one which he basically turns in the same performance for each time.

[@Krimson7735]

Jim Carey in Eternal sunshine, what a movie!!!! Also love Sydney she's incredible

[@emmalinemay]

Kirsten dunst was in marie antoinette in 2006! We knew her range

[@alexp601]

The Iron Claw wasn't nominated for any Oscars, right? Did it not apply for the awards or something?

[@christophermerlot3366]

Zac Efron changed my mind when he chillingly played Ted Bundy.

[@johnhoben293]

Ryan Gosling Drive

[@baxtersmom279]

I watched “Precious” once. I almost didn’t make it through even that one time. That was a tough movie.

[@BC_Animus]

Drunk Punch Love was the one that got me interested in Sandler, but Reign Over Me was the one that turned me into a fan. As for Dunst, Crazy, Beautiful was the one that won me over.

[@bmasters1981]

Joey King, Ramona and Beezus (the quintessential juvenile actor to carry off that Beverly Cleary literary character of Ramona Quimby); she continues to excel even today at 24, and is now starring as Halina Kurc in the Hulu limited series We Were The Lucky Ones.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Adam sandler in billy madison is amazing

[@mutantdog.]

Heath Ledger: The Dark Knight. Sam Rockwell: Moon. John Travolta: Pulp Fiction. This list could go on a lot longer.

[@speedincooper]

Heath was in Brokeback Mountain way back in 2005

[@Uncle_Smidge]

Perfect timing; hubs and I just watched Adam Sandler's new film "Spaceman" today and Sandler is fantastic in it.

[@1971chrismiller]

I'm so sick of critics who think melodrama is the only film genre that matters while everything is trash. They and you too it seems forget that movies are entertainment first and all this boring melodrama isn't entertainment.

[@MsEngelby]

entertainment is not just about tickling your funny bone you know. You might want to look into the definition of entertainment.

[@williamdixon-gk2sk]

​@@MsEngelbyisn't entertainment along the lines of "anything that brings joy or amusement" by that standard, we at least know your comments, are by definition, not entertainment.

[@chadly211bucks]

Came here to say to say this. During the section on Adam Sandler, it couldn’t just be “he stepped out of his comfort zone for Uncut Gems”, nope we had to say “Mindless no effort comedies”, like it’s all art and I suspect all hard. He’s a comedic actor, it’s like scolding an engineer cause he sucks at brick laying. We all have talents. This comedy isn’t cinema trope is tired and boring.

[@andrewjmcquinn9996]

Carey in The Number 23? I mean not saying it's an Oscar worth performance, but it most definitely showed a different side of him

[@Mythpathz]

Tobey McGuire as Spiderman, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and RDJ as Iron-man, Henry Cavill as Superman and Christian Bale as Batman this character that actor's played have won so many hearts in my country India infact because for this superhero film people get to know more about existence about this actor also for the fact in 90s and early 2000s maximum people used to watch our own industry movies Bollywood but later change in 2010s when movie were shown slowly in theaters and in 2016 through ott we get to know about there are other Industry that make movies

[@nicholasrope6067]

Adam Sandler was awesome in Reign Over Me, He was also great in Wedding Singer

[@DogOnExtendingLead]

Reign on Me is easily Adam Sandlers best movie. It was just pure emotion and I would never have expected it from him. It makes me annoyed that he doesn’t do this more often and really show he is a proper actor.

Dunst was amazing in Fargo (S1)!!!

[@fragout9575]

Ryan Reynolds has done several serious films or at least serious roles BEFORE Deadpool and other comedy-action roles! He was in Safehouse with Denzel Washington and also in Smoking Aces. So he broke the comedic roles early in his career and has had a good agent to make sure he isn't pigeon holed as well. But, his list of comedies or rom/coms are longer than his serious roles nevertheless.

[@jamespope7669]

Christian Bale: American Psycho - doesn't matter what he's in, he'll always be Patrick Bateman. Chris Rock: New Jack City Edward Norton: American History X - that stomp Tim Curry: Lord of darkness in Legend

[@joekilker6373]

It's only after watching this that I realised I confused Zac Effron with Joachim Phoenix (I assumed the latter had bulked up for the part). Maybe Phoenix had another role in the film, and that's why I'm confused. But maybe not.

[@philipbeattie4101]

Efron was very good in The Iron Claw, but do you really think the was robbed at the Oscars?! The nominees for best actor were levels above where he’s at.

[@SamButler22]

After this Bradley Cooper veered away from conventional studio fare... he was Rocket Raccoon in the MCU after that!?

[@newprophet2011]

I'm disappointed that Jamie Foxx is not on this list. Before the two-punch knockout of "Collateral" and "Ray," Foxx's biggest movie was "Booty Call." After "Ray," no one doubted Foxx again. It was difficult to say if you was watching and hearing Ray Charles on the movie or Jamie Foxx; that's how convincing Foxx was.

[@cdeford2]

Many of the men in this video are interchangeable. They all look alike.

[@carriesmigla-didier8900]

Ryan Reynolds has a whole filmography of non-blockbuster roles! Have you even done your homework? Go look at his imdb page right now, then make a video of his movies about when he played a weird serial killer who had schizophrenia or the movie that you think is just a rom com but is really more about a dead and his daughter. My brain is made out of yogurt or if have names for you.

[@briwanderz]

considering i've only seen one of those movies, i'm definitely going to have to say "you are wrong colonel sanders!" i liked pretty much all of them before those movies came out, and obviously before i had seen them, since like i said, i haven't seen most of them. jim carrey "won me over" (tho he lost me since) on "in living color", adam sandler? that's a harder one to pin down, but i guess mostly in the waterboy. really though, how do you make a list telling me when someone won ME over??? that doesn't make sense, how about "won over many people" or more in line with what the video is really about "proved they could act outside of their normal role" or something like that.
