Why does he play the same character in every film?
Wrong kid got famous god dammit
not true he was a car once
>>70594565
Remember when he tried to kill himself

>What is a character actor?

>>70594565
Noticed he only likes to wear blue shirts.
same reason most actors play kind of the same range of character every time... always seem to do 'themselves'
it's because they themselves, their presence, look, voice, etc, is what they're providing. films are aesthetic after all, audio-visual.
some actors can be unusually elastic, but generally the more distinct, famous ones are picked because their distinct 'thing' - their whole persona/aesthetic/energy/idea - is the right material with which to paint the desired character.
in other words, Jack Nicholson 'Jack Nicholsons'
>>70594928
it makes his eyes pop
>>70594928
yeaaah...why is that?
>>70594713

leads generally 'do themselves' too (and Wilson is actually sometimes a lead, if not exactly a conventional one), though, Di Caprio, Pacino, Keanu, etc
it's just some leads are bland by nature so 'themselves' is incredibly generic even if it's consistent
>tfw no Trump biopic
>>70594565
Because it's what he does best and we like him most for it.
>>70595132
But his character is so specific.
The melodramatic randy hippy character is entertaining but I just wonder, do people write specifically for him.
>>70594935
fucking this why don't you use google OP, you dinkus
I get distracted by his nose every time I see him.
>Owen Wilson will never play Goku
>Ben Stiller will never play Vegeta
Literally /tv/: te actor
wow
>>70594678
Has there ever been an interview explaining why he did it?
>>70594565
Most big actors do.

Essential nosecore actors:
Owen Wilson
Adrian Brody
Steve Carrell
Any others?
>>70596476
Some do. I've met a few people who write scripts with certain actors in mind, which I assume is a fairly bad thing to do considering how that further specializes the script and makes it useless to anyone who can't get said actors.
>>70594935
Jeff goldblum is the perfect example.
Always plays a stuttering eccentric academic.
It's one thing I've notice a lack of with female actors, very rarely do they secure their own niche.
>>70594678
>>70597608
It was Steve Coogans fault.
>>70596476
He wasn't a hippy at all in Behind enemy lines or a No Escape and he was great in both.
He can do "regular guy" well but "chilled out dude" is a hard role to find people with natural charisma for it, so it's an easy gig for him to secure
>>70594565
He really is pretty handsome man.
It's strange though, his nose is busted as fuck and yet if works to his benefit. If it were normal he'd probably technically be more attractive, yet having the busted nose makes him unique and therefore more attractive. Funny.
>>70597682
There were a lot who had good niches in the pre-2000s. Most females seem to get more into their own corner of work in voice acting over everything else now.
I have no idea why but if someone said Jews I'd believe them.
>>70597697
Can you elaborate on this?
hwow
>>70594935
Prior to the late 80s Jack Nicholson had a CV full of unique characters and some of the greatest performances of all time.
>>70594565
movies with him and jennifer aniston are top comfy
>>70594565
best role

Steve Coogan literally nearly kidnapped him and force fed him meth and coke for 2 weeks until he was a suicidal blubbering mess.
Not even joking

what did you say, cuckboy?
Comfy: The Actor
>>70597814
I thought you were going to say it was because he took his part in Tropic Thunder.
Why the fuck doesn't he fix his broken nose
>>70597976
Because first he has to fix his broken heart
This summer

>>70597814
Intriguing. I'm gonna need more info. Got a link or something?
>>70597976
>Why the fuck doesn't he fix his broken nose
Because this
>>70597715
With a regular nose he's just another handsome man. The imperfect nose makes him stand out.
>>70597841
>very rarely
>posts one example
Great reading comprehension there faggot

Didn't mcconaughy take Owens role after he passed/pulled out

There's basically a few general roles they fit into
Hot chick
Hot bitch
Fat "funny" chick
Quirky chick
Tough chick
"Just your average" chick
Innocent chick
Slut
Nothing more specific or interesting or abstract.

>Will Ferrell as Perfect Cell
>>70598015
I love you.
This made me smile.
>>70594978
Because he likes blue or he looks good in blue? I only wear blue shirts because I like the colour and they're easy to match with other things.
>>70598130
Underrated post
>>70597951
yeah, I find him quite likeable
>>70597951
>>70598545
This. I'd love to listen to some audiobooks narrated by him.
>>70598198
Interesting. I honestly had no idea Coogan was such a well known deviant cokehead.
Any guesses as to who the pornstars he wanted a threesome at that party with were?
>>70597682
Theres quite few though
I mean for actresses you uave to coint the niche of "being hot on screen"
Anyone notice he always seems to play the "Main character's rival who is superior to him in everything, but extremely likeable" character?
>>70598725
anyone notice THIS
*unzips dick*
>>70598743
oh my god
>>70598725
He always extremely likable, zoolander is the only one I can think of where he's "superior rival"
>>70598772
He's the "superior rival" in pretty much all the fokker movies for example
>>70598772
you, me and Dupree
>>70594928
BEN?
>>70598799
I don't even remember him in that
>>70598815
Never saw it, but i thought he was supposed to be a third wheel, not superior
>>70598868
it's been like a decade since I saw it but iirc he plays up a partying lifestyle and sleeps around with women and stuff while his friend goes to a desk job and becomes jealous of him.
What movies are essential Owen Wilson-core?

>>70599645
Aidan Gillen is in it
>putting a dick where the characters nose should be
God dammit Raimi, the early 00s are over!
>>70599679
That was the sequel, it's cool too, but doesn't beat the western setting.
>>70599040
Shanghai Noon and the sequel with CIA.
>>70596579
>Ben will never play Ryu
>Owen will never play Ken
>>70598117
mcconaughy took the role because owen was unfit for acting due to his suicide attempt
I like Owen Wilson a lot, he seems like a cool dude. Was recently suffering from depression I believe
>>70598198
Jesus christ! I always thought of him as a mild manered british comedian, I had no idea he was a crazy drug addict!
