I think mine is Sean Astin in Lord of the Rings

He deserved every acting award going.

The term "actress" is highly problematic.

Please take your archaic gender divisions elsewhere.

Ray Liotta played an alcoholic in a real time episode of ER.

Only seen it once, but it's always stuck with me as one of the most moving things I've ever seen.

Always meant to track down a copy, but now it's a little close too home and would probably destroy me if I watched it again.

- i love ray liotta
  
  he's in a really, really bad fantasy film opposite jason statham that always seems to be on one of the shit film channels at the back end of my freeview list. the level of phoning it in he gets away with is honestly mind-expanding, there's one bit where it cuts to him with a completely blank expression, he makes a smiling type face into the camera, says ."ha ha ha, you will never defeat me" and then just goes completely blank again.
