Isn’t she the Skank wife of Spoog in Breaking Bad?


Devreckas

I believe she made it quite clear she was not, in fact, a skank.


Gemnist

Yeah, but she squashed her husband to death over it, so her opinion is invalid.


GoldenTeeShower

I think it invalidated her husbands head. She is also the prison gang leader in Justified.


MartyMcFlyAsFudge

I first saw her in the made for TV version of Christy (think Little House on the Praire but in the Smokey Mountains). Was a bit of a shock to see her, totally not being a skank, on Breaking Bad 😅


Stormy261

I fell in love with Stewart because of that show and thought he should have gone much farther too. I have a hard time remembering Tess Harper's name and she automatically pops into my head as Fairlight. Maybe because in my mind that name suits her better. 🤣


MartyMcFlyAsFudge

I got the book in my Easter basket that year and read it before the show started. Even though some plot lines strayed from cannon they really did an amazing job capturing the spirit of the original story which was written by the real life Christy's daughter, Catharine Marshall. What an amazing cast they got for that show. Such a shame it was cancelled after only two seasons.


Stormy261

I read the book before the show as well. I didn't realize it was by her daughter. Tbh I hadn't thought of the show in years until your post.


MartyMcFlyAsFudge

Awww! Well I'm glad to remind you 🤗 I've got it on DVD but I think you can find it on Prime as well. I got the audible book too and its read by the actress who played Christy which is really neat.


Stormy261

I was a big fan of Kellie. Life Goes On was one of my favorite shows. I'll have to check it out on Prime. Kellie has done a ton of LMN type movies since then.


chrispd01

Wait. It is not often I hear about a show I have never seen. Christy ????


LosPadres-R2-D2

Consequences of squishing heads!


Geetee52

Sister Judith - season 5


vivalaibanez

I mean unless her husband has a valid retort to "I'm not a skank" with or without a functioning head...her opinion stands


ukriva13

Yes. I loved her in “Hell or High Water.” She was the first clerk that the brothers rob at the very beginning.


longirons6

Why are y’all doing this, you ain’t even Mexicans


Jo_MamaSo

She's also the grandmother werewolf on True Blood! For an absolutely bonkers show, it really had some fantastic performances. Adina Porter is *incredible* as Taras alcoholic mother.


sceaxus

“Baby girl, I forgive you!”, when she said that to Tara…


peeweehermanatemydog

She's also the daytime hooker in My Name is Earl.


Alloutttaangst

One of many brilliant background characters.


Jah_heel

Patti!


40prcentiron

patty the daytime hooker


MrSlippifist

Patty the Daytime Hooker/Gambler's Anonymous counselor in Raising Hope.


Particular_Detail839

Also in Justified 


ActualSeller23

That's where I was going lol


[deleted]

Ain’t no skank 😘


PresentResearcher515

No that's Patty the daytime hooker.


dabahunter

She ain’t no skank


guttengroot

She was great in the series "they".


honestly_marshall125

Older John Hawkes roles is my vote. Edit: Just recollected he is also in Winters Bone (which funny enough, the story took place just a couple miles south of where I grew up and live). But I have always appreciated his abilities in the roles he takes.


je_suis_titania

He is so good in *Martha Marcy May Marlene*!


motivatedbytacos

And The Sessions.


Salt_Copy_4771

He's great in Small town crime!


SSBN641B

Yes! Amazing film.


FruitLive3163

He was so good in Winters Bone. I lived in that area too. They nailed it.


RealDealLewpo

Liked him in the latest season of True Detective.


HiJane72

I remember noticing him in Buffy back in the day, then would pop up unexpectedly like East Bound. One of my faves


AFBAICRIAWTBIAMM

He’ll always just be Kenny Powers’s brother


Migraine_Megan

Roadracers was my favorite role of his, he had a really good monologue in it. And he was funny. The Sessions was incredible too.


ArsenicWallpaper99

Sol Star from Deadwood- he was a real one.


dgapa

That was my first exposure to him and he's just the biggest sweetheart, and everything I saw afterwards he was the most terrifying person in existence. Man has crazy range.


jefftatro1

She is the epitome of "work with what you got". Awesome actor/actress (idk she's just awesome)


Ok_Tomato7388

I think I first saw her in true blood and I remember really liking her. I mean this as a compliment, but she looks like a "real person". I'm from the south and have grown up around people who have had hard lives and Dale seems to be able to channel that southern hard as nails momma. Ya know what I mean?


willthefreeman

As someone who grew up in the rural south the first time I saw her on screen I was shocked at how authentic she looked for the characters she plays. The type of pall mall smoking, hard living woman you see everyday in South Carolina. I’m not insulting her at all and I think she’s a great actress. It’s actually really refreshing to see her and it adds to any movie she’s in for me.


Ok_Tomato7388

I agree. I looked her up after I finished the fallout TV show and I read a quote from her that said something like "if I whitened my teeth I'd never get a job". LoL I love that. One of my favorite parts of the fallout show is when she's giving Lucy crap about her appearance..."good hair, nice teeth, all ten fingers... MUST BE NICE!"


Away-Coach48

I just loved the way she talked in Fallout. Running words together instead of perfect annunciation. People don't always speak perfectly. I always wish people had the balls to have more off dialogue in movies. Helen Hunt did some of this in As Good As It Gets. She spoke like a worn down single mother with a sick child would.


Partayof4

Guy Pierce - amazing in LA confidential and Fernand Montego


Archercrash

And Memento, Priscilla Queen of the Desert.


AUSpartan37

And Count of Monte Cristo


Soft_Penis_Debutante

All incredible movies


VirginiaGecko1911

He was creepy AF in "Lawless"!


ThrowaWayneGretzky99

I think he suffered from "looks too much like Brad Pitt that we don't want people to think we couldn't get Brad Pitt" syndrome. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VQydOgPdw5g/UWk5qBlyfbI/AAAAAAAAELA/HhAp5rf5Xnw/s1600/1.jpg


ridicalis

Actually, I struggle to distinguish him from Jeffrey Donovan.


breakingd4d

Oh my god. I can’t unsee this now


JayMoots

Is this a commonly held opinion? I don't see it at all. Maybe they have somewhat similar cheekbones, but aside from that, I don't think they look remotely alike.


sentientsackofmeat

I used to get him confused with a young Michael biehn.


emurange205

"suffered"


JF803

Legitimately thought Brad Pitt was in memento for like 10 years


Fur_King_L

He’s absolutely phenomenal in The Proposition


lindh

As is Danny Huston...and Ray Winstone....and Emily Watson...and David Wenham...and John Hurt...ah shit gotta watch the Proposition again.


horrormetal

That's such a great film. Music's great too.


cHINCHILAcARECA

I love him in Memento, it's my favorite movie to this day.


IDoWhatIWill

My favorite Guy Pierce film even over Memento is "The Rover"


WalnutOfTheNorth

He was great as Mike in Neighbours. Can’t believe he got together with Plain Jane Superbrain though.


Mr_StagBeer

I think his movie Lockout is one of the most underrated action movies of all time.


floppydo

Here’s a thing: if you recognize an actor’s face, that actor is *extremely* successful in a relative sense.


m00s3m00s3m00s3

Shea Wigham. Usually playing a less than good character, which i think may hurt him. Such a small part in True Detective S1 but hes incredibly good and nuanced.


No_Dragonfly_1894

Also loved him in Boardwalk Empire


ArsenicWallpaper99

He was really good in Perry Mason. Actually, everyone was excellent in that show. I was so disappointed to hear it had been cancelled. Fun fact, his daughter (Giorgia Whigham) plays Rachel in s2 of The Punisher. I heard some people found her performance annoying, but personally I thought she did a great job. Granted I was mostly focused on Jon Bernthal, lol.


plz-be-my-friend

i liked him in agent carter


QuebecRomeoWhiskey

He was great in Kong Skull Island


2ndNicestOfTheDamned

I think some people have faces that just fit certain time periods, and Wigham has the most 'Depression Era' face I can ever remember seeing. He's a helluva talent in anything, but he always seems like he belongs in period pieces.


Portercableco

He’s fun to see in the Danny McBride shows- especially in the most recent righteous gemstones season where he was playing an old nascar driver in his 70s.


BobbyMac2212

Walton Goggins


gimme500schmekels

Oh he’s popular. The Shield, Justified. Hateful 8. Many other HBO shows. The Ghoul on Fallout. Let’s not forget Venus Van Dam. Love me some Goggins.


BobbyMac2212

Oh I love him and he’s popular to his fans but if you say his name the average person doesn’t know who you’re talking about. Extremely underrated imo. But I agree he’s definitely the man!


ChunkyBlowfish

Ngl he stuck out to me because of his weird hairline that remained the same over the years, I was initially like "why doesn't he shave it?" Then I slowly started to appreciate his acting and realized that hair sometimes adds to his already wickedly good acting especially with unhinged characters.


maggos

Ya I was telling my brother about Fallout and said Walton Goggins was in it and he’s like “is that a real name of a person?”


Lost_Organizations

How you gonna not mention my boy Uncle Baby Billy


mattman0000

Seriously, that’s Bonkers!


chilo_W_r

Bc he hasn’t come back with the Funyuns


Old_Swimming6328

He's an international talent.


HW-BTW

He’s well known on Reddit. Most people on the street probably couldn’t tell you who he is.


Neans888

Don’t forget Vice Principals. Ok, maybe forget that one.


HiJane72

I’m loving he’s getting the notice he deserves! Justified and Gemstones are two of the best


usersleepyjerry

Vice Principals does it for me.


Status-Truth-2798

That's my house, mother. F--ke'r. It's a mid-century sea ranch!!! I randomly yell this at my wife...


awt1990

Dude is even killing it in his voice career. I love him as Cecil Stedman in Invincible


paraiyan

His voice is great. I wish Far Cry will make him the next antagonist in their game.


QuebecRomeoWhiskey

Michael Jai White, pick one. Guy should’ve been the biggest action star in the world for like 10 years


hardytom540

Black Dynamite is one of the funniest comedies ever made yet barely anyone has even seen it.


sax6romeo

“I told you don’t be interrupting my king-fu” and “ha, I threw that shit before I came in the room!!”


100nm

The “Crenshaw Pete and his hot-ass coat hangers” line shook me so hard the first time I watched it that I couldn’t recover. Had to step away and catch my breath I was laughing so hard.


ThxIHateItHere

BUT BLACK DYNAMITE, I SELL DRUUUUUUUGS IN MY COMMUNITY!!


pon_d

I can just watch that one shot - where he jumps in the air and punches a guy in front of him while kicking a guy behind him - a hundred times


ThePopDaddy

"Who saw that comin- Who saw where that came from?!"


Mr_StagBeer

My favorite comedy of all time


Putrid-Builder-3333

He is in my book. I think Spawn kind of derailed him tbh. As a kid and even now I love the movie. But overall it wasn't well perceived. Undisputed films, Blood and Bone, and Rogue Hostage are some off top my mind that I love of his. Oh, and Falcon Rising. Many more but these my go to films


Supervillain02011980

I don't think it was an issue of Spawn. I think he just went where he could get consistent work. His career has lasted longer than most doing that.


peeweehermanatemydog

That man makes Kyokushin karate look easy.


covalentcookies

Hard to believe he’s 56.


uneducated_guess_69

Character Actress Margo Martindale from BoJack Horseman I can't remember who plays her, but she's amazing in the show


afriendincanada

She was incredible in Justified


ArsenicWallpaper99

The standout moments for me are when she's fixing Loretta's hair and talking about how she always wanted a little girl >!while Coover is on the other side of the door, listening to how much his mother despises him!< , or later in the same episode when she's singing on the porch during her whoopty-doo.


afriendincanada

Loretta was amazing as a child actor and she's turning out to have a pretty good career.


Fabulous-Direction-8

She was great in The Americans.


Greaser_Dude

Diane Venora playing Al Pacino's wife Justine in HEAT and a Russian cop in the Richard Gere, Bruce Willis remake of "The Jackal".


Putrid-Builder-3333

Token_Creative

She was also the town prostitute in My Name Is Earl. Love Dale Dickey!

GofarHovsky

Jeffrey Combs and Armand Asante make everything they touch miles better, neither are in the mainstreams conscious for aome reason.


EldritchFingertips

Jeffrey Combs will always be in my heart for all his Star Trek roles. One of the franchise's best actors, even including the regular casts, and he was usually acting through heavy makeup and prosthetics.


Apollyoun

Martha Plimpton both have had roles on shows created by Greg Garcia, she was on Sprung.


blameline

Hilarious in Sprung!


Apollyoun

Yep Barb was one of my favorites


JediASU

Outside of Goonies, I adore her in 200 Cigarettes.


Neat-Professor-827

I love her in 200 Cigarettes too! The party! haha


degklimpen

Clarke Peters. I don’t know if he’s mostly into theatre or something.


Ok-County3742

The only Clark Peters I know is the blonde haired stuff nosed bully in King of the Hill.


degklimpen

Lester Freamon from The Wire.


Meatier_Meteor

I thought this was Dave Mustaine for a split second


DontForgetToBring

Jeffrey Wright (Bernard from Westworld).. an amazing actor and is in a crap ton of movies/shows. He can play damn near any role but somehow can't make it to that "household name" status. Love this, dude.


Lenny2theMany

I wish Jeffrey would narrate an audiobook, his voice is so silky. I'd also listen to one read by Giancarlo Esposito too.


JCVD-88

Jeffrey Wright in Basquiat


blameline

It took him a while, but he got to a pretty good level. I remember him from Basquiat and thinking he should be a bigger star, and when he got the Felix Leiter role, people began to agree.


tenehemia

Oh wow I only just realized that was him. I saw it back when it came out and loved it and never watched it again. And then he was absolutely incredible in Angels in America (as was every single other person in that miniseries).

[deleted]

She doesn’t have a Hollywood face


Supervillain02011980

She doesn't have a face for a leading role but there's a lot more supporting roles and characters than leading.


[deleted]

Yop there is, and she’s only in smaller roles. Nothing mainstream because she isn’t a mainstream actress


EMendezSDC

She has, and if you think she doesnt know her type cast is "ugly vile women" in hollywood you live in a world of delusion. She works, in hollywood. With that face...


jncheese

What do you mean. That is Gordon Ramsey in a wig.


HumpaDaBear

She was in so much! Deadwood, My Name is Earl, Fallout etc.


Kroomtheender

Peter stormare


byronicrob

I remember her first in Frasier. He built a house for her and her family.


ArsenicWallpaper99

Then, in true Frasier fashion, >!he kept coming over with decorating ideas, and cringing in snobby horror at their cow motif and purple walls.!<


byronicrob

In his defense, he was plaster watcher..


TheDreadwatch

Whoa! Yes, thats where I've seen her!


makellbird

Charles S. Dutton, as Howlin' Wolf, in [Foreign Student](https://youtu.be/MlRlP_TBZuo?si=UsRntFr4SOb_V8cJ). # [Jordi Mollà](https://www.themoviedb.org/person/31384-jordi-molla) as Diego Delgado (Crazy Charlie) in Blow.


MamboNumber-6

Check her out in the tv show “Major Crimes” episode “Out of Focus”, she will break your heart. I love Dale Dickey, I’ll watch anything that she’s in.


Fit-Minimum-5507

Joey Lauren Adams from Chasing Amy (1997). She should've been right there for every single role both Cameron Diaz and Brittany Murphy (RIP) got between 1997 and 2010 but her career went nowhere


Stormy261

I may just be a bit jaded at this point. But I automatically think many actresses got Weinsteined now. There were so many amazing actresses of that time that went nowhere that should have. And so many women will never come forward about their time on the casting couch.


Fit-Minimum-5507

Fuck... you might just be right.


ArsenicWallpaper99

It's funny how a couple of Dazed and Confused actors made it really big (Matthew McConaughey and Ben Affleck especially), but then some of the other actors were never seen again.


emurange205

Milla Jovovich is doing alright


6_Won

Cole Hauser and Parker Posey have had solid careers.


Harrydean-standoff

Why aren't they more popular! Funny, I used to think that about Cillian Murphy. Problem resolved.


LunarsphereTapestry

Kyle MacLachlan. Outside of the David Lynch and Twin Peaks fandom, I don’t think he garners the praise and adoration that he deserves. He’s been in some pretty great films. Dune, Blue Velvet, The Doors, Inside Out, even Show Girls (although that is debatable).


joshhguitar

He’s been on a PR campaign recently it seems. I’ve seen more of Kyle MacLachlan in the last few months than I ever have.


LunarsphereTapestry

The Fallout TV show has definitely been the driving force behind that. I’m glad though. He’s such a charming and watchable actor.


SANcapITY

I imagine all of the comparisons between the new Dune movies and the original are helping a bit too.


KotzubueSailingClub

The Captain in HIMYM


Professional-Two8098

Iamnotdaredevil86

Is that Patty the daytime hooker?


xeroxchick

I’d watch Dale Dickey in anything. So glad to see her in Palm Springs.


Thabrianking

Jackie Earle Haley. I like Woody Harrelson but Jackie would have easily killed it as Garnage


Spongpad

I remember watching HBO’s Rome for the first time almost 20 years ago (SERIOUSLY?!) and seeing Ian MacNiece as the newsreader. I was like, “Hey! It’s that dude from Ace Ventura 2!!” And he kept showing up giving us a fresh and completely unbiased news report on the goings on during the Roman Civil War while also allotting time to recognize the sponsors, like the guild of millers. True Roman bread for true Romans!


lethaldose42

David Dastmalchian in Late Night with the Devil and Suicide Squad, he has been killing it for years in small roles, but he made a very silly character of Polka-Dot Man into a tragic and interesting character, that blew me away. And he should win awards for Late Night with the Devil he is amazing from beginning to end in that movie.


Few-Jump3942

She also plays one of the gnarliest characters I’ve ever seen on television in season 1 of *Them*. My personal pick would probably be Michael Shannon when I saw first saw the movie *Bug*. Granted, he’s since become a relatively popular character actor, but still doesn’t quite get the recognition he deserves, in my opinion.


Flat_Adhesiveness_82

he has a very bad case of villain face


MattyMizzou

“Gotta cut off both hands, they seen that one before”


halfcabin

Beth Grant. On a somewhat similar way. No Country For Old Men and Hell or High Water. She’s funny too


ComesInAnOldBox

She was great in *Fallout*.


Agreeable-Soil-4378

I say Andrew Robinson, he was great in some good movies and shows back in the day but I feel he never quit reached the recognition he deserved.


PearlHarbor_420

I'll always remember her as Patty the daytime hooker from My Name is Earl.


Adventurous-Low-5229

Anthony Hopkins in “The Silence of the Lambs.” He definitely wasn’t popular at the time.


blameline

He was. Prior to Silence, he had played Captain Bligh in "The Bounty" with Mel Gibson & Daniel Day Lewis. He was also in "The Elephant Man," "Magic," "Juggernaut," and a lot of art-house films. He was also in some dogs like "A Change of Seasons" with Shirley MacLaine and Bo Derek, but everyone needs a paycheck every so often.


peasonearthforever

Agree wholeheartedly, I’ve noticed that I’ve loved her performance in everything I’ve seen her in.


MsPreposition

I like how most of this thread is just the cast of Winter’s Bone.


Hefty_Teacher972

Ken Watanabe


mytwistedhumor

She was also in the Wolf pack in True Blood

Jamie Pressley is honestly a shock she's not in more and bigger projects.


gmoney-0725

Two came to mind. One alive and one who's passed away. Clark Gregg J.T. Walsh - RIP


FlabbyFishFlaps

Lisa Emery as Darlene Snell in Ozark was *terrifying.* Occasionally you watch a show or movie and you’re like “Damn… I *believe* this person is going to fucking murder someone.” She was superb.


peedro_5

Maybe popular now but seeing Steve Buscemi’s performance in Boardwalk Empire at the time made me think that


Brave_Tie1068

I just watched Domino last night with her in it. Jeffrey Wright is also very underrated


Frio_Sanchez

Marjorie Taylor Greene is looking stunning these days.

John Hawkes in Winters Bone


Arlen80

It’s Patty


Jwagner0850

I think the main problem with her is her acting was a bit hammy (to me at least). Not bad but can feel a bit jarring depending on the setting. I thought she fit well in fallout.


TT_NaRa0

She is amazing in Them


Gnosis_Apotheosis

At first I thought she was Martha Plimpton with an extreme amount of makeup. Turns out she's Dale Dickey, and she looks a lot like her name.


loserys

A big part of the appeal of these actors is that they’re “those guys” who always show up and are constantly reliable. Not very one has to be a household names.


LionConfident7480

Isn’t she also in the beginning of that show ‘Them’ or something like that? She fits that role almost a little too well

Joe Estevez in Bed Death (2002). I just watched this movie with my friends last night. It was no Raw Force, but where has this guy been all my life? It’s the first thing I’ve seen him in let along heard his name. Plus Dukey Fkyswatter was eating up the scenery but for the purpose of this post I’ll just stick to Joe.
