@@CinemaStix I checked it out, it's just gorgeous. I like how his dancing in the video starts a little rough and then progressively gets more confident and relaxed. I thinks when he puts the hat on, he levels up. And then the ending is just fun!

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

He really does rock well

[@chrisallegre2897]

What I love about the iron man 2 dance was that he was just goofing off out of character until he got to the podium. He wasn't expecting them to keep it, just something fun for him to do instead of walking. Favreau originally cut it from the film but added it back in because they loved it and it added something to the scene and his character.

[@CinemaStix]

It totally did. To me it showed a guy who thinks he can win over a crowd the way Stark does, but in reality is just a total doofus.

[@Hoganply]

Exactly, the impression I got was that he was peacocking, but also oblivious to how transparent it was.

[@Stanatak]

@@CinemaStix kinda reminds me of behaviour of other, not so fictional billionaire.

[@rottensquid]

​@@CinemaStix That was exactly it. Tony doesn't do it to impress. He does it because that's who he is. Justin Hammer does it to be like Tony. That said, Justin's pathetic showboating kinda made Tony's showboating in the film's opening look childish too. Justin was a clownish reflection of Tony's clowning.

[@e.d.5766]

If they had just had Justin Hammer be the main villain and given him way more screen-time, that film would have been so much better. Whiplash wasn't bad, but putting him in the same film as Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer is unfair, you just can't compete. If they don't bring him back at some point, and not just in a short film again, they've missed a huge opportunity. Armor Wars, Thunderbolts, Ironheart, there's room for at least a little more Justin Hammer.

That scene in Iron Man 2 where he dances onto the stage kills me everytime. He was so smooth and cocky and it fit the situation perfectly, being that his character was about to make a big reveal. I thought that entrance was scripted and choreographed, but now I see it's actually his trademark 😂

[@edwarddeguzman3258]

[@michaeldemocko443]

I was a professional dancer for almost 20 years. Fosse was my biggest influence as a dancer and choreographer. When I heard they were doing Fosse/Vernon, I worried that they wouldn't be able to find an actor who could play Bob properly. Once I knew it was going to be Sam Rockwell, I KNEW it was going to be great! And it was, and so was he! But Michelle Williams became Gwen Verdon. I'm still in awe of that performance.

[@chriskaprys]

I grew up with Lawn Dogs and Box of Moonlight and could never wait to see what this guy would do next. Then when Confessions of a Dangerous Mind came out I was blown away and thought it couldn't get any better, until Moon (his delivery of the line "what happened to mommy, sweetheart" in the context of that whole story made the entire film for me). It was then weird to see him on talk shows getting pigeon-holed as this guy known for his dance moves (just as you said, the way Tom Cruise is known for his run). I always thought him dancing on screen was the sign of just how absolutely relaxed he was on set and having a blast making whatever he was making. He's got such good comedic timing and sharp sense of status and can easily carry plenty of heavy dramatic weight all in the same character. I'll watch anything Sam's in, dance or no dance.

[@edwardmedina1236]

I love his dance moves. Especially in Mr. Right it's incorporated into his character and it's fabulous.

Yep...This guy is an incredibly versatile actor. He has been is so many movies but his career kinda snuck up on us. I had already watched several of his movies before I realized it was him that created the most memorable character in all of them. He has an incredibly colorful style that overshadows his very low key personality. He's the guy who enters the room, does something amazing then leaves with everyone looking at each other thinking how amazing that was but not wondering who that was or if they have seen him before.

Wouldn't be a Rockwell movie without some Rockwell moves, Legend!!

[@Kerunou]

Say what you want about his role in Iron Man, but Sam’s Justin Hammer is the perfect foil for RDJ’s Tony Stark. The two have very comparable energy, in and out of character.

[@aggyboy1580]

MASSIVELY underrated actor. One of the best of this generation in my eyes...and I reckon he's still got his stellar role still to come!!!

[@Derek_Keenan]

Moon is one of my favorite movies

[@cliffbooth7075]

Sailor Moon? Sailor Moon Eternal?

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

He is on purpose not profiling to be a classical leading man, and that's for the best since then he would be made to do things that are not him. The "underratedness" can be a blessing that way, creatively.

[@carlrice1774]

Best of this generation??? Ok, this is a general comment: someone being one of your favorites does not make them one of the best.

[@aggyboy1580]

@@carlrice1774 talk about twisting words! 😳🤦🏼‍♂️ I said "One of the best of this generation". I didn't say "THE best"! Nor did I say he was my favourite! There are a lot of actors these days who get kudos all the time but can't actually act, they just repeat the lines they've learnt as themselves. Chris Hemsworth for example; sells seats but can only do one role type...and not particularly great eaither! Sam Rockwell is incredibly diverse and ALWAYS gives a performance which convinces you of the character he is playing, THAT is great acting! If you need convincing and haven't watched them yet, watch "Moon" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" for two of his stellar roles. And you mustn't forget him in "The Green Mile" either, EPIC acting! But don't take my word/opinion on it! Clearly I am mislead in my belief that he is one of the best of my generation, because he's ONLY won 41 Awards and been nominated ONLY 76 times... ...so nobody else thinks he's great either!!! 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

[@SunsetLights]

He dances in his new film argyle !

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

Rockwell is one of the very few actors who I'll watch whatever he's in.

[@crimson1919]

Sam understands THE key tenet of successful dance: move with confidence. Love it.

[@mrjuanderfuI]

Sam Rockwell's dancing makes me unexplainably happy

[@nancilane5069]

I LOVE Sam Rockwell!

[@theysayisagorilla]

Sam is crazy underrated as a actor.

[@TheHappyKamper]

The first time I saw Sam Rockwell was at the cinema watching Charlie's Angels. I never saw that twist coming, and it was one of the best parts of an already decent movie, when he suddenly busted out those moves I was definitely like 🤯 Thanks for the interesting summary on such an underrated actor.

[@CinemaStix]

Same. Sadly not in the theater. But it was one of the few VHS tapes I had growing up for whatever random reason. Watched the heck out of it. 99% for him.

[@eliasmarius]

Rockwell is the man! And this video definitely honors that! Great work Danny

[@CinemaStix]

Thank you! I’d been wanting to make this one for awhile, so I’m just glad to be able to share it. The man indeeeeed.

[@jackierosas9593]

I’ve always appreciated his role in A Midsummer’s Night Dream as Francis Flute and Thisbe. He can be comedic and dramatic, often a combination of the two in the same film as also seen in Three Billboards and Moon. I wish he’d be in another Shakespearean adaptation because of it, maybe as the fool in King Lear.

[@BillPairaktaridis]

He, of course, dances in Argyle as well

[@TheTishy44]

First time I saw him was in the green mile, and I kept seeing him in everything. He’s just such a great character actor and just a great actor in general, he’s awesome.
