Name one other than Natural Born Killers. Or Heat. Or The Relic. I think he was in Band Of Brothers as well. But other than those I’m struggling to think of anything else of note...!

The Rock

Christian Slater. Superb in True Romance. Cant really think of him being decent in anything else. Possibly Robin Hood but he's barely in it anyway. 

He's did a nice cameo in Austin Powers but other than that I can only think of Broken Arrow in terms of films he's been in. Think he was ok in that but don't really remember.

 

He is really good in True romance

He was/ is pretty good in Mr Robot too. Loads of dross apart from that, mind.

Nolte has been in lots of good stuff.

I was thinking I’ve not seen him in much apart from Point Break. I’ve made a terrible error. It was Gary Busey I was thinking of not Nick Nolte. Although Busey was good in Predator 2 also in fairness.

Controversial perhaps, but Bruce Willis in anything other than Die Hard.

I see where you're coming from. But he was excellent in twelve monkeys. Unlike that wooden twat Brad Pitt. 

 

Could you say De Niro perhaps? Suited to the mafia roles, but pigeon holed a bit in them...

 

No wait, that's bollox by me, he was brilliant in Heat, and even those meet the focker movies to.

Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, King of Comedy, The Mission, Awakenings, Midnight Run, Silver Linings Playbook, Raging Bull, New York New York, he's great in all of those in non-mafia roles, probably missing a few too.

Robert De Niro essentially plays Robert De Niro pretending to be someone else. He's had some of the coolest roles and performed them perfectly. He's an Icon but I don't he's particularly great at acting. Probably seems like a contradiction but he does menacing brilliantly. Someone like oldman can be completely different characters with full emotional range. I'm a big De  Niro fan.

 

FUCK typing his name my phone constantly changes every bit of it fucking fuck.
