While the movies of 2013 were filled with great performances, perhaps the most surprising was Will Forte‘s in Nebraska (you thought I was going to say Oprah in The Butler, right? Yeah, right.) When most people think of Forte the first thing that comes to mind is his goofy MacGrubber […]
For actress Julianne Nicholson, who plays Roberts younger sister, the role was a chance to shine alongside some of Hollywood’s heaviest hitters
For actors, auditions are a huge part of the process in their careers. However, a bad personal day that they can’t shake off can affect the outcome of who wins or loses a role. Just ask British actor Martin Freeman who took his cranky attitude into the audition room after
Dermot Mulroney‘s strong turn in August: Osage County will surprise many moviegoing audiences who are accustomed to seeing the actor in romantic comedies. In his latest film, he plays Juliette Lewis‘ fiancé who has a lot of swagger and flash, but also a bit of darkness. The 50-year-old star talked
It’s hard to imagine John Goodman having a better year after doing stellar work in 2012’s Argo and Flight. However, he might have topped it with his onscreen turn as Roland Turner in Joel and Ethan Coen‘s Inside Llewyn Davis. Since this is his sixth collaboration with the filmmakers, he
It might be one of the most awkward moments in an actor’s career, the sex scene. For some thespians, it’s just another day at the office. For one celebrity, it was time to hit the bottle. On a recent appearance on Chelsea Lately, Lizzy Caplan admitted that she was drunk
In 2007, one of the biggest breakout stars was Nikki Blonsky who found herself onscreen with John Travolta and Christopher Walken in the John Waters musical extravaganza, Hairspray. The film was a box office hit and it looked like the sky was the limit for the young actress. However, success eluded
Although I’m a bit wary that the marketing overkill for Anchorman 2 that has gone from viral to outbreak, I still can’t wait to see the sequel. One of the main reasons why is because I absolutely loved the chemistry between the Channel Four news team in the first film:
Ben Stiller is best known as an actor, but he has also directed five movies including his upcoming film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. In fact, Stiller directed most of the films he is best known for, and he even directed Robert Downey, Jr. to an Oscar nomination for
I don’t think any actor can claim to have had the year that Benedict Cumberbatch has had. Cumberbatch starred in Star Trek Into Darkness, 12 Years a Slave, August: Osage County, and, through motion capture, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (okay, there was also The Fifth Estate, but you
Though Bobby Cannavale has been an actor for many years, he’s recently caught the attention of bigger audiences after his Emmy win for his third season role in Boardwalk Empire and a major role in Blue Jasmine. He spoke to Rolling Stone about getting cast in the film and working
Allison Janney is having a year most actors would envy with roles on both Masters of Sex and the sitcom Mom. The variety in her career is what keeps her work consistently fresh and creative. The 54-year-old actress shared why she loved working on a comedy and a period drama
Jason Schwartzman‘s career has been mostly defined by his regular roles in Wes Anderson‘s films, so in a sense it’s almost odd to see him pop up in a film as commercial as Saving Mr. Banks, which is about the behind-the-scenes struggles during the making of the Disney classic Mary
When the plans to make The Hobbit into a film — well, three films — were beginning to come together, many fans of Peter Jackson‘s prior film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings had only one actor in mind to play Bilbo Baggins in the prequel: Martin
Many pegged B.J. Novak as being set for movie stardom by many after he landed a significant role in Quentin Tarantino‘s Inglourious Basterds, but between working on The Office as an actor, producer, writer, and director he was a bit busy to chase Hollywood stardom. Now that The Office has
Taylor Kitsch will forever be known as Tim Riggins in the beloved TV series Friday Night Lights, but he has a big year ahead of him with two important films Lone Survivor and The Normal Heart. Lone Survivor follows four Navy SEALS who do their best to stay alive while
Sometimes actors dread auditions. For one actor, he had the opportunity to skip the audition under one condition…he had to work out. Emile Hirsch was cast in the Peter Berg-directed Lone Survivor as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan, so the role required some rigorous gym time. He said, “No audition
One of the eagerly anticipated films of 2013 is American Hustle. It brings back a group of actors who have had a strong collaboration with director David O. Russell. Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams have all a part of Russell’s work over the last five years.
In the last few years, Elizabeth Olsen has become Hollywood’s indie queen. With edgy roles in movies like Martha Marcy May Marlene and Silent House, the actress is not known for mainstream fare. She talked to Moviefone about her new off-kilter role in Spike Lee‘s Oldboy and why she chose
Who doesn’t like Christian Bale (Well, besides that guy he yelled at on the set of Terminator Salvation)? Though Bale has been absent from cinemas since The Dark Knight Rises last summer, he stars in two films that are being released this month: Out of the Furnace and American Hustle.Â
