Fave Everyman Actor

Recommended Posts

Examples;

John Corbett

Northern exposure

 

Kyle Chandler 

Friday night lights

 

Scott Bakula

You know

 

Paul Rudd

Ant Man

Two for one. The Wilson Brothers.

 

And, probably too old compared to the other guys, but Mark Harmon.

I can not stand Owen Wilson. I don't even know why. There's just something about him.

Sam Shepherd always plays good roles.

Aaron Eckhart is also great.

Both almost made the jump to stardom, but they just don't have that superstar quality.

Paul Rudd was who came to my mind when I read the title.

Can't say he's my favorite necessarily, but I'm a big enough Kyle Richardson fan to know his name is Kyle Chandler.  :thumbsup:

It's not a bad thing, but after The newsroom, Jeff Daniels no longer qualifies as an Everyman. At least in my book.

 

Ask for Bill Pullman? pretty sure the president role in Independence day takes him out of that running too.

As for Paul remudd? I don't think of Ant-Man. He really does kind of hit that every man status. But if I was going to be gay id probably be looking at John Corbett. He's bounced around in a lot of different roles.

 

John Goodman freaks me out now that he weighs 112 lb.

Always thought it was interesting that before the Da Vinci Code movies were made, many people who'd read at least one of the books pictured Bill Pullman as the main character. Hanks is a great actor but somehow it was made for Pullman. Maybe even would have been a bigger hit. He just looks like he'd be doing and expressing everything that character did. (You know, an everyman :ninja:)

The first actor I thought of was John C. Reilly.....even though I’m not exactly sure what an everyman actor is.

Not my fave but Gerald McRaney (numerous TV roles) is a perfect everyman of yesteryear.
