Came to say this. Never seen a single Christopher Walken role where I thought he didn't give it his all.Hi.
Is this the Christopher Walken thread?

Timothy Omundson always gives his all. I remember enjoying him on Psych and then seeing him play a terrorist on 24 for all of 5 minutes and even selling that.This is an out of left field shout, but Henry Gibson as the Irish grandpa in Luck of the Irish was amazing. It's just a Disney Channel movie, but he's hilarious in it. For years I thought the guy was actually Irish.
Same goes for Timothy Omundson who played the villain. Dude put everything into this goofy role.
How on earth is is that a mediocre role?
Or this? The Godfather Part II, a mediocre role?

This has to be the most mind-blowing fact I have learned all week. I am surprised that Dick Tracy got any Oscar nominations, let alone one for this kinda-throwaway role.
Only on ERA would you find the follow up to one of the greatest film performances of all time listed as a "mediocre" role lmao

It's very entertaining, but still kinda crazy that this guy yelling at deformed and disfigured criminals was considered worthy of an Oscar nod.
I feel for me it's in the context of the film as a whole that's why it's a mediocre role.
Naw Godfather 2 is a great film, nothing mediocre about it.

It's a pivotal supporting role that relied on having a great actor in it. Kingdom of Heaven (the proper version) is a very acclaimed movie, I'm not seeing its place in this thread, which was more for crummy movies actors put effort into anyway.
Wut, dude was nothing Faora stole that movie from him.
That's absolutely insane. I guess it was just easier to get a nomination back then, since comic book movies weren't as ambitious. If something like Dick Tracy were released today, I doubt it would even get 1 nomination. Sin City is pretty close to Dick Tracy, and got zero attention from the Academy.
There's always lobbying though. Even with the benefit of lobbying, I'd be surprised if today's comic-book movies could fight their way to 6-7 Oscar nominations. I'm sure Joker and maybe Black Panther probably got that many nods, but those were marketed to Oscar voters as serious and ground-breaking efforts. Dick Tracy got a slew of nominations just based on its style and looks. I doubt that anybody really took Dick Tracy seriously, at least not in the same way they approached BP or Joker.
To connect these two, Mickey Rourke seems to bring his A-Game to Van Damme's Double Team. For a movie where Van Damme and Dennis Rodman parachute from a plane in a giant inflatable basketball, Rourke seems to be taking it very seriously!
He also brings it in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. He's so good in that.
This is a great pick. This guy nearly single-handedly made TMNT2: Secret of the Ooze tolerable. He was way too good to be in a kids movie about mutant turtles.We were just talking about this on Discord yesterday.
David Warner
Peters as Kai in Cult made the season for me. That was his performance of a lifetime. Apparently it also made him resign from anything AHS after his contract was done. Dude took a huge mental hit.
Holy shit is this parody?

He is actually back for the next season.
