This man is one of the most brilliant actors in Hollywood yet is forever doomed to play side roles.

Why does this happen?

He's said himself that he always wanted to be the guy doing the supporting roles and that he wouldn't suit the limelight anyway.

That said, he is indeed a fucking fantastic actor and is criminally underrated. Nailed his character in Sideways.
>>
Because he isn't handsome or ugly in that exaggerated and fashionable way (adam driver, benedinc cumberbitch etc.)
>>
Somebody hasn't seen Sideways or American Splendor

Did you see him in John Adams?

He's an actor, not a model.
That is why he is still around, and will be until he dies.

Character actors get to play more interesting characters anyway, and usually are more prolific than a lot of "starring role" actors.

If I had the choice, I'd be a character actor any day of the week

This. Plain and simple.

Still a millionaire and gets to leave the house without being raped by papparazzi though. What would you rather? It's basically like being a NEET richfag.
>>
>>69753071
Yeah, it's a good show as well. Would recommend.

I hate the Paul Giamatti is good meme. He plays the same character in literally every single movie. Sleazy everyman with at least one yelling scene, which shows the limited scope of his acting. I just don't get it.

That's awesome. That's what I'd want to do if I was an actor. Bad guys and other supporting roles.
