What makes a movie great? Well, there are a lot of factors. Sure, a compelling storyline, a good movie experience, a good acting lead role, etc., right? But there are often times when we see a supporting role take center stage. Plus, these supporting roles are played by top actors you didn’t expect. So let’s talk about the days when Hollywood actors played supporting roles and literally stole the show. Check it out!
1. Kevin Spacey – Seven
that of David Fincher Seven is a classic in many ways, the fact that we can’t see the villain soon is one of them. But one of the elements of the film that stands out is Kevin Spacey’s performance which always sets the bar higher.
2. Tom Cruise – Tropic Thunder
The film already had a solid cast, so the director thought about bringing Tom Cruise to the party. Actors like Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Matthew McConaughey were doing their part until Tom Cruise nails him with his character.
3. Jason Statham – Spy
The fact that Jason Statham is in To spy was no secret. However, what his role in the film is has never been stated correctly. The character of Statham was so funny that people were literally in disbelief. He easily stole the show and got a role much more than just a cameo!
4. Emma Watson – It’s the end
The movie is hilarious because it has legitimate comedians in every frame of the movie. Stars like Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel and Danny McBride are all part of this parade. However, the team (in the film) soon realizes that they are not alone, and Emma Watson has managed to survive the apocalypse. Watch out for its witty lines!
5. Edward Norton – Kingdom of Heaven
Nortan is a class actor of his own and has managed to give us timeless classics. He did the same in Kingdom of paradise where he decided it was best to keep his name a secret. He explained that he wanted to be billed because Orlando Bloom’s character keeps hearing from him. A movie you should absolutely watch and love from Nortan acting.
6. Melissa McCarthy – Central Intelligence
When you have a star like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart in the lead, you don’t just step in and take over. Central intelligence was a movie full of crazy twists and turns and the real one was Melissa’s character who was Dwayne’s love interest!
7. Robert De Niro – American Hustle
First off, if you’re Robert De Niro and you’re in a movie, it’s all up to you. american unrest is a cult classic with Christian Bale leading the way. Actors like Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence and many more do a great job. However, when De Niro arrives, the movie takes a more gruesome turn and he establishes himself as the boss of it all in a streak of less than five minutes.
