David Koechner. He has played so many great small roles in movies but always nails it. I would love to sit down and have a couple beers with that dude.

James Badge Dale
Bryce Dallas Howard
Michael Keaton (I know he's pretty famous, but he's great in everything he does and I think he could have a had a much bigger career.)

Keaton's career arc is fascinating. He was a huge actor and then disappeared for a while. Birdman was great and he's been killing it since then, mostly in supporting roles, but you can tell he's a fantastic actor.

He will always be Mr. Mom to me.

Also, Andy Daly as Dr. Crawford in Silicon Valley and Anthony Carrigan as NoHo Hank may be some of my favorite secondary characters in any comedy series. (I know NoHo Hank has a larger part than Crawford, but I'm always dying at their scenes)

Beetlejuice and Batman for me.

Another movie that I've always liked of his was Multiplicity. It's just fun and he's great in it.

Also The Dream Team. That movie is great.

Good choices. Paul Bettany is the ******* man. One movie that I love of his that I don't think too many people care as much about is Wimbledon. He was great in that movie:

Thomas Everett Scott. Liked him in That Thing You Do! and Dead Man on Campus (underrated in its own right) but his career never really took off after that like I thought it would.
