Eegah March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 After Kyle Chandler of course, one that I quickly recognized was Sam Shepard as Chuck Yeager in The Right Stuff. He's actually more or less superfluous to the film as Yeager never became an astronaut, but damn if he doesn't have a great final scene. I'm really not a Sissy Spacek fan, but one worth checking out is Terrence Malick's first film Badlands, where you also get a young Martin Sheen looking eerily like James Dean and giving a now-hilarious preview of the Bartlett jacket flip.

DollyMamaB March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 Obviously Kyle Chandler from Friday Night Lights. Such a great role. I love Sissy Spacek. Most memorable role is when she played Loretta Lynn in Coal Miners Daughter. She was fantastic. From the accent to the singing.

And then I googled her and found out she's 42, and I almost fell over because it never occured to me that 1995 (which was when her season of The Real World aired) was twenty years ago.

thuganomics85 March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 Definitely know Kyle Chandler best for Friday Night Lights, but I also really enjoyed him in the King Kong remake, where he played the vain actor, who was in the production they were suppose to be filming. He was fun pulling off that old-school persona you'd expect from that era. Glad to see Jacinda Barrett on a better show; her last few haven't been so pretty (Zero Hour and The Following.) Linda Caredllini was Sylvia Rosen on Mad Men, and was in one of better S1 episodes of Person of Interest. Jamie McShane (Eric O'Bannon) is one of those character actors I've seen in a ton of stuff: Gone Girl, The Avengers, Murder in the First, Breaking Bad, Argo (which also had Kyle Chandler!) I only remember Ben Mendelsohn for a brief role in The Dark Knight Rises, but I really want to check out is other stuff now. I heard a lot about Animal Kingdom.

As an Aussie of a similar age to Ben Mendelssohn i've kind of grown up watching him and he's in some of my favourite aussie movies. In his younger years he was more the charming loveable larrikin. Animal Kingdom was a big departure for him playing such a baddie - it was quite jarring to be honest! But he did an awesome job. I think he does a great job in this show and well as a Friday Night Lights and Freaks and Geeks fan what a treat to have a cast with Ben, Kyle Chandler and Linda Cardellini, and to top that off we get Sam Shepherd and Sissy Spacek.

I remember first seeing Kyle Chandler on Homefront, a lovely but short-lived WWII drama, several years ago.

Inquisitionist May 2, 2015 Share May 2, 2015 I'll always associate Kyle with Homefront as well. IIRC, his character's storyline was originally supposed to take a backseat to his older brother's, played by David Newsom, but Kyle and Tammy Lauren (who played Ginger) had such chemistry that their characters become more prominent. I tried to watch FNL, but just couldn't get into it. No matter how good the acting is, it's still ultimately about teenagers playing football in Texas, which simply doesn't interest me.
