Angelica Huston, Uma Thurman, Wallace Shawn, Humphrey Bogart, & many more.

Maybe Marlon Brando, Jack Black, Bob Hope, David Niven, Richard Burton, Julia Roberts, Katherine Hepburn?

Others I like though they've made a dud or two are Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Jim Carrey.

Following great actors has brought me to many great, lesser-known movies; it seems the actor saw things in the script that the critics weren't quite sharp enough to pick up on.
