First, a person works for a reputation, and then - a reputation for a person. This is a golden rule that applies not only to people of ordinary professions, but also to actors. We present to your attention a photo-list of actors and actresses who never star in bad films. These stars want viewers to know that their name in the credits is a kind of quality mark.
Tim Roth
- "Crime novel"
- "The Legend of the Pianist"
- "Four rooms"
At one time, the little-known British actor was noticed by Quentin Tarantino himself, and, as you know, the maestro invites only a select few to his projects. As a result, Tim played with the master in The Hateful Eight, Reservoir Dogs, Four Rooms and Pulp Fiction. The actor carefully selects projects in which he is ready to take part. He claims that it is not the fee that is important to him, but the quality of the film.
Benedict Cumberbatch
- "Sherlock"
- "12 years of slavery"
- "Another Boleyn Girl"
There are no projects in Benedict's filmography that could be called truly failures. Even Cumberbatch's art house shows are rated above average. He takes part in projects that are doomed to success. At the same time, the films with Benedict are diverse and not alike - among them there are historical dramas, modern detective stories and fantastic blockbusters.
Gael García Bernal
- "Bitch love"
- "Bad education"
- "No news from God"
Between popular box office projects and interesting piece paintings, Gael chooses the second option. The young Mexican actor has starred with directors such as Pedro Almodovar, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu and Alfonso Cuarón. Bernal prefers films on acute social and political topics. Almost all films with his participation are fascinating stories dedicated to topical issues of our time.
Christian Bale
- "Prestige"
- "The Dark Knight"
- "Driver"
Christian takes his career very seriously. He has repeatedly proved that for the sake of a role in a particular project, he is capable of a lot. Needless to say, with this approach, there are no unsuccessful projects in Bale's filmography, be it costume dramas, thrillers, horror films or gangster action films.
Leonardo DiCaprio
- "The apostates"
- "Shutter Island"
- "Catch Me If You Can"
After the release of the movie "Titanic" thousands of women around the world fell in love with Leo. However, DiCaprio did not want to be assigned the role of a cute hero-lover, and began to carefully select projects in which he wanted to take part. As a result, Leo managed to prove to the whole world that he is a talented dramatic actor, and many of Leonardo's colleagues can envy the ratings of pictures with his participation.
James Dean
- "Rebel for no reason"
- "East of Paradise"
- "Giant"
During his short film career, James Dean managed to become a symbol of his time. He starred in just two dozen films before dying in a car accident at the age of 24. But all the films in which Dean took part became mega-popular, and the actor himself was twice nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor.
Carey Mulligan
- "Pride and Prejudice"
- Johnny D.
- "Without letting go of me"
At the dawn of her career, Carey mainly took part in costumed historical dramas. However, when Mulligan became recognizable, and her talent was talked about, she began to be extremely selective about the proposed projects. The actress clearly does not believe that the main condition for participation in the film is fees. She happily stars in well-scripted chamber dramas and does not seek to participate in blockbusters.
John Cazale
- "Godfather"
- Deer Hunter
- "Dog's Afternoon"
John could have become one of the most famous actors of our time if he had not died in his prime of life from lung cancer. Although his filmography contains less than a dozen films, each of them is a real masterpiece. The most famous role of Casale can be considered Fredo Corleone from the cult "The Godfather". John's films such as The Deer Hunter, The Conversation or Dog's Afternoon are also projects that have entered the Hollywood Gold Collection.
Adam Driver
- "Marriage story"
- "Sweet Francis"
- "Paterson"
Star Wars fans love Driver primarily for Kylo Ren in the cult saga. But Adam prefers to reveal all his acting potential not at all in box-office blockbusters. He can be found in the projects of Jim Jarmusch, Barry Levinson and Martin Scorsese. Adam strives to act in the author's quality films and not spoil his reputation by participating in dubious projects.
Chris Cooper
- "Highway 60"
- "American Beauty"
- «11.22.63»
Russian viewers know Chris primarily from The Bourne Identity, A Time to Kill and the mini-series 11.22.63. But the list of truly high-quality pictures in his filmography does not end there. Considered by many critics to be one of the most underrated yet reliable actors in modern cinema, he has a knack for strong scripts and intriguing projects.
Joaquin Phoenix
- "Gladiator"
- The Sisters Brothers
- "Hotel" Rwanda "
Phoenix is a real master of reincarnation, and even members of the American Film Academy admitted this, giving Joaquin an Oscar for his "Joker". The actor prefers to choose roles without consulting the agents, but if he liked the script, he will put all his talent into the character. Perhaps it is thanks to Joaquin's acting that films with his participation can hardly be called bad.
Daniel Day-Lewis
- "Gangs of New York"
- "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"
- "Gandhi"
Few foreign actors can boast of winning the Academy Award for Best Actor on several occasions. Daniel has been awarded this honor three times. Moreover, seven films with his participation were nominated for the best film of the year in different years. Day-Lewis always takes seriously both the choice of the project and the detailed elaboration of his character. In 2017, the actor announced his retirement, but Daniel's fans hope that he will return to the big screens.
Ellen Page
- "Start"
- "American Crime"
- "Face to face"
Continuing our photo-list of actors and actresses who never do bad films, Ellen Page. Even the minor heroines in her performance always look bright and individual. The Canadian actress has more than fifty films, and most of them received positive reviews from both viewers and film critics. Her participation in a particular project is considered by many to be a sign that this is a really worthy film.
Ralph Fiennes
- "The English Patient"
- "Schindler's list"
- "Lay low in Bruges"
Rafe can be attributed to celebrities who are equally good at positive and negative characters. And if you consider that Fiennes is also very scrupulous about the choice of paintings, it becomes clear that projects with his participation are doomed to success. He has credited such films as Schindler's List, Wuthering Heights and the Harry Potter franchise, where Rafe played Lord Voldemort.
Sacha Baron Cohen
- "Les Miserables"
- Sweeney Todd, Demon Barber of Fleet Street
- "Keeper of time"
Viewers are divided into two types: those who hate Cohen, and those who consider him a genius comedian who makes fun of modern reality. Be that as it may, projects with his participation do not leave anyone indifferent. Apparently, to finally annoy the second category, Sacha Baron Cohen began acting in serious high-quality films. So, the actor played in "The Keeper of Time" by Scorsese and the mini-series by Gideon Raff "The Spy".
Philip Seymour Hoffman
- "The smell of a woman"
- "Healer Adams"
- The Big Lebowski
According to critics and journalists, in 2014 world cinema lost one of the brightest stars in the person of Philip. It is difficult to find a bad film in the filmography of this actor. Seymour Hoffman carefully considered each proposal and agreed to participate only in those projects that he considered promising. Filip's films include many that have become classics. For example, "The Talented Mr. Ripley", "The Man Who Changed Everything" and "When a Man Met a Woman."
Emma Watson
- "Colony of Dignidad"
- "Little women"
- "Ballet shoes"
The Potteriada could be a major milestone in Emma's career, but the ambitious actress has proven she can do more. An important role in this was played by the fact that Watson is very selective about the films in which she will play. Both comedies and dramas with her participation have good ratings. Moreover, projects with Emma are always welcome, because she relies not on the number of films, but on their quality.
Tilda Swinton
- "The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button"
- "Constantine: lord of darkness"
Tilda Swinton can be safely attributed to the actresses who do not play in bad movies. She is not at all afraid to play non-standard characters, periodically participates in art-house projects, but at the same time she does not forget about truly grossing films. Swinton has long proved to her fans and haters that she is a versatile actress who is very sensitive to the choice of material.
Grace Kelly
- "Mogambo"
- "Window to the courtyard"
- "In case of murder, dial" M "
Grace Kelly is included in the lists of the most beautiful women of the twentieth century, and, despite the fact that there are not many films in her filmography, there are no passing projects among them. Before becoming a princess of Monaco and ending her acting career, Kelly won two Academy Awards and starred in such iconic films as High Noon, The Swan and High Society.
Tom Hanks
- "Green Mile"
- "Terminal"
- "Cloud Atlas"
Rounding out our photo-list of actors and actresses who never make bad films is Tom Hanks. The charismatic artist has been proving for several decades that he can make the right choice. He can be seen in light comedies and romantic melodramas like "Big" or "Sleepless in Seattle." But at the same time, he does not forget to reveal his dramatic talents, starring in such outstanding films as "Rogue", "Saving Private Ryan" or "Forrest Gump".
