    SAM ROCKWELL - One of the greatest screen actors of our time. Every film where he's the lead, play a main character or even secondary - it just elevates the film entirely.
  • @krislyons2793
    I like how he lists his specific inspirations for each role, and gives credit to the original actors. You don't really see that too often.
  • @reganpt1
    "Is there air!? YOU DON'T KNOW" has to be one of my most favourite line deliveries ever.
  • @MasterOrona
    Sam is in there with Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, William Fichtner and other similar actors with a near unlimited range of roles and seem under appreciated by the masses.
  • @alexsamain812
    His performance in galaxy quest is one of the best comedic roles ive ever seen.
  • @kknixy03
    Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is one of my favorite performances by Sam Rockwell. Movie was painfully underrated.
  • @TheSaintedOne
    You got me. I didn't expect Eric Knox to switch into the smooth bad guy. Sam ALWAYS steals the show in every movie he's in. Also, Seven Psychopaths was perfect.
  • @ArcadeArea
    One of the most underrated actor of last 25 years. His performance in Moon was Oscar worthy. Hope to see him in some prominent roles in the future.
  • @wvusmc
    "Moon" is one of my favorite films. Absolutely fantastic.
  • @angelag669
    Watching this reminded me how much I love Sam Rockwell and what a terrific actor he is.
  • @matthewhood7844
    I remember watching Box of Moonlight for John Turturro and being wowed by Catherine Keener and Sam Rockwell. He had an energy that was palpable and I followed his movies since. I always enjoy his performances.
  • @paulcole
    Jo Jo rabbit should make this list He’s fantastic
  • @sophier5322
    How have you not included The Way Way Back?!? Such a beautifully magical movie about the transition between childhood innocence and adult bewilderment… Sam Rockwell’s character is the heart of the film.
  • @dennesey
    I'm not even 12 seconds into this vid and already want to fast-forward to his performance in The Green Mile. Literally everyone in that film deserves recognition but Sam's performance will always be in my top 10. Let's also not forget his noteworthy SNL skits: "ATM" and "Genetics Lab".
  • @datacntrdude
    Simon Pegg producing a Galaxy Quest series?! I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE IN! MAKE IT SO!
  • @mateonotsuke
    I Interviewed Sam for this video; he was so nice and sooooo insightful. Probably one of my favourite videos I've ever done. He had so many great films to talk about that it was impossible to get all of them in the time we had. Can't wait to find out about the new Martin McDonagh film!
  • One of my all-time favorite actors! I always get excited when I see his name is mentioned for the cast!
  • @Trae_Lenox
    The Way Way Back is the quirky movie role for him where I fell in love with his acting!
  • @sharonwolf7316
    I fell in love with this amazing actor off Charlie's Angels. That scene when he's dancing to pharoahe monch, smoking a cigarette, just having fun being evil. He sold me on that scene.
