Wrong kid got famous god dammit

not true he was a car once

Remember when he tried to kill himself

>What is a character actor?

>I'm wrong

Noticed he only likes to wear blue shirts.

same reason most actors play kind of the same range of character every time... always seem to do 'themselves'

it's because they themselves, their presence, look, voice, etc, is what they're providing. films are aesthetic after all, audio-visual.

some actors can be unusually elastic, but generally the more distinct, famous ones are picked because their distinct 'thing' - their whole persona/aesthetic/energy/idea - is the right material with which to paint the desired character.

in other words, Jack Nicholson 'Jack Nicholsons'

it makes his eyes pop

yeaaah...why is that?

leads generally 'do themselves' too (and Wilson is actually sometimes a lead, if not exactly a conventional one), though, Di Caprio, Pacino, Keanu, etc

it's just some leads are bland by nature so 'themselves' is incredibly generic even if it's consistent

>tfw no Trump biopic

Because it's what he does best and we like him most for it.

But his character is so specific.

The melodramatic randy hippy character is entertaining but I just wonder, do people write specifically for him.

fucking this why don't you use google OP, you dinkus

I get distracted by his nose every time I see him.

>Owen Wilson will never play Goku
>Ben Stiller will never play Vegeta

Literally Sup Forums: te actor

wow

Has there ever been an interview explaining why he did it?

Most big actors do.

Essential nosecore actors:

Owen Wilson
Adrian Brody
Steve Carrell

Any others?

Some do. I've met a few people who write scripts with certain actors in mind, which I assume is a fairly bad thing to do considering how that further specializes the script and makes it useless to anyone who can't get said actors.

Jeff goldblum is the perfect example.

Always plays a stuttering eccentric academic.

It's one thing I've notice a lack of with female actors, very rarely do they secure their own niche.

It was Steve Coogans fault.

He wasn't a hippy at all in Behind enemy lines or a No Escape and he was great in both.

He can do "regular guy" well but "chilled out dude" is a hard role to find people with natural charisma for it, so it's an easy gig for him to secure

He really is pretty handsome man.

It's strange though, his nose is busted as fuck and yet if works to his benefit. If it were normal he'd probably technically be more attractive, yet having the busted nose makes him unique and therefore more attractive. Funny.

There were a lot who had good niches in the pre-2000s. Most females seem to get more into their own corner of work in voice acting over everything else now.

I have no idea why but if someone said Jews I'd believe them.

Can you elaborate on this?

hwow

Prior to the late 80s Jack Nicholson had a CV full of unique characters and some of the greatest performances of all time.

movies with him and jennifer aniston are top comfy

best role

Steve Coogan literally nearly kidnapped him and force fed him meth and coke for 2 weeks until he was a suicidal blubbering mess.
Not even joking

>It's one thing I've notice a lack of with female actors, very rarely do they secure their own niche.
what did you say, cuckboy?

Comfy: The Actor

I thought you were going to say it was because he took his part in Tropic Thunder.

Why the fuck doesn't he fix his broken nose

Because first he has to fix his broken heart

This summer

10/10 reply, I r8 m8

"the cute autistic guy that always gets the girl" actor.

Intriguing. I'm gonna need more info. Got a link or something?

>Why the fuck doesn't he fix his broken nose

Because this

With a regular nose he's just another handsome man. The imperfect nose makes him stand out.

>very rarely
>posts one example

Didn't mcconaughy take Owens role after he passed/pulled out

>Vince Vaughn as Piccolo

Take my You, you earnt it

>Jack Black as Majin Buu

There's basically a few general roles they fit into
Hot chick
Hot bitch
Fat "funny" chick
Quirky chick
Tough chick
"Just your average" chick
Innocent chick
Slut

Nothing more specific or interesting or abstract.

>Will Ferrell as Perfect Cell

I love you.

This made me smile.

Because he likes blue or he looks good in blue? I only wear blue shirts because I like the colour and they're easy to match with other things.

Underrated post

yeah, I find him quite likeable

This. I'd love to listen to some audiobooks narrated by him.

Interesting. I honestly had no idea Coogan was such a well known deviant cokehead.

Any guesses as to who the pornstars he wanted a threesome at that party with were?

Theres quite few though
I mean for actresses you uave to coint the niche of "being hot on screen"

Anyone notice he always seems to play the "Main character's rival who is superior to him in everything, but extremely likeable" character?

anyone notice THIS
*unzips dick*

oh my god

He always extremely likable, zoolander is the only one I can think of where he's "superior rival"

He's the "superior rival" in pretty much all the fokker movies for example

you, me and Dupree

BEN?

I don't even remember him in that

Never saw it, but i thought he was supposed to be a third wheel, not superior

it's been like a decade since I saw it but iirc he plays up a partying lifestyle and sleeps around with women and stuff while his friend goes to a desk job and becomes jealous of him.

What movies are essential Owen Wilson-core?
My proposals
>Midnight in Paris
>Drillbit Taylor
>Zoolander
>Wedding Crashers
>Marley & Me
>The Big Year

Royal Tenenbaums

Bottle Rocket

grand budapest hotel
old school
a night at the museum
cars
cars 2
starsky and hutch

bah! fine

>Helena Bonham Carter
>Whoopi Goldberg
>Jennifer Coolidge
>Jane Lynch
>Maggie Smith

or you know, just use google

Eh !?

>no mention of Shanghai Noon

It was my go to comfy movie when i was younger, gotta rewatch it the next time I get dude weed lmao

Aidan Gillen is in it

>putting a dick where the characters nose should be
God dammit Raimi, the early 00s are over!

That was the sequel, it's cool too, but doesn't beat the western setting.

Shanghai Noon and the sequel with CIA.

>Ben will never play Ryu
>Owen will never play Ken

mcconaughy took the role because owen was unfit for acting due to his suicide attempt

I like Owen Wilson a lot, he seems like a cool dude. Was recently suffering from depression I believe

Jesus christ! I always thought of him as a mild manered british comedian, I had no idea he was a crazy drug addict!
