10 Famous Actors Who Have Literally Never Been Bad In A Movie - WhatCulture

Posted: 24 Sep 2019 11:41 AM PDT

The collaborative nature of filmmaking is both its greatest benefit and toughest hurdle, because if an actor and director aren't in sync, it can result in their combined work turning out how neither intended.

As such, even the best actors typically have a couple of off-brand performances to their name, and that's not to ignore the propensity for A-listers to phone in a performance every now and then for an easy payday.

But there's a small class of actors who can never once be accused of getting complacent, or even giving a misfire of a performance in all of their excited ambition.

These 10 actors are among the most reliable you'll ever find in Hollywood, seemingly incapable of giving a bad performance, even when the material doesn't give them much to work with.

There are many, many actors who have never given a single good performance, yet to deliver thoughtful, honest and effort-filled work every single time requires a gargantuan amount of patience, effort and commitment to the craft of acting...

These Famous Actors Have Never Won an Emmy Award - TIME

Posted: 18 Sep 2019 12:00 AM PDT

On Sunday night, the 71st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Fox. Long considered television's biggest night, Emmy competition has become increasingly stiff as high-quality shows have proliferated, thanks in part to the continued expansion of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. For many actors, 2019 marks a final chance to take home a prize after years of playing a beloved character: shows including Game of Thrones and Veep recently ended their blockbuster runs. That means that stars like Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Alfie Allen and Gwendoline Christie are all looking to snag that elusive Emmy for their roles on the HBO behemoth.

Similarly, Veep's Anna Chlumsky is up for an award after five years with no luck; over at ABC's Black-ish, Anthony Anderson has come up empty-handed for eight years, while Sandra Oh, nominated this year for Killing Eve, received many nominations but no prizes throughout her many years on Grey's Anatomy. Some of this may change Sunday night, but even if it doesn't, these famous actors are in good company, with plenty of other successful stars — like Steve Carrell, David Duchovny and Mindy Kaling — whose lauded small-screen performances failed to yield Emmys hardware.

Read on to see the famous actors who still have yet to win an Emmy Award.

Kit Harington

Kit Harington arrives at the Game of Thrones Season Finale Premiere at the Waterfront Hall on April 12, 2019 in Belfast, UK

Jeff Kravitz—FilmMagic for HBO

After starring as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones — which just completed its final season — Harington is up for an Emmy for Outstanding Drama Actor this year. He was nominated in 2016 as a supporting actor on the show but has never won. Thrones was Harington's breakout TV role, and the project to which he's devoted most of his acting career so far.

Jason Bateman

Actor Jason Bateman participates in a panel discussion during the annual Milken Institute Global Conference at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on April 29, 2019 in Beverly Hills, California.

Michael Kovac—Getty Images

This year marks Bateman's first Emmy nomination, for Outstanding Drama Actor in Netflix's Ozark. He's also nominated this year for directing in a drama series, for the Ozark episode "Reparations." But he's probably best known — on TV, anyway — for playing the beloved character Michael Bluth on Arrested Development over the course of five seasons (none of which panned out with an Emmy for Bateman).

Milo Ventimiglia

Milo Ventimiglia attends the NBC and Universal EMMY nominee celebration at Tesse Restaurant on August 13, 2019 in West Hollywood, California.

Rachel Luna—WireImage

The This Is Us star was also nominated in 2017 and 2018, in addition to this year, for Outstanding Drama Actor in the popular series. Ventimiglia has been gracing TV screens for awhile, growing up as a heartthrob on shows like Gilmore Girls and Heroes, but it's only recently that the TV Academy has recognized his work.

Billy Porter

Billy Porter attends 'Richard Quinn S/S 2020' fashion show during London Fashion Week September 2019 London on September 16, 2019 in London, England.

While Porter has received a Tony for his work on Broadway, 2019 marks the Pose star and Broadway veteran's first Emmy nomination.

Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke attends the 2019 Time 100 Gala at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 23, 2019 in New York City.

Taylor Hill—FilmMagic

Before Game of Thrones, Clarke had few notable acting credits to her name; the character of Daenerys Targaryen launched her to fame. She was nominated in 2013, 2015 and 2016 for her supporting role on Thrones, and this year she's up for Outstanding Drama Actress for her work on the show's final season.

Robin Wright

Robin Wright attends the 25th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on January 27, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.

Jeff Kravitz—FilmMagic

Wright received her sixth Emmy nomination this year for her role as Claire Underwood on Netflix's long-running House of Cards, where she led the series' sixth season after Kevin Spacey was removed from the show. Wright is a household name, but before she became an Underwood was better known for her film roles, including in the classic Princess Bride. Still, Wright is not a TV newbie; she was on the 1980s series Santa Barbara.

Sandra Oh

US actress Sandra Oh arrives on the red carpet for the Time 100 Gala at the Lincoln Center in New York on April 23, 2019.

ANGELA WEISS—AFP/Getty Images

This is not Oh's first Emmy rodeo: thanks to Grey's Anatomy, she was a nominee as Outstanding Drama Actress every year from 2005 through 2009. Killing Eve gave her another shot in 2018, with no luck. This year she's up again for the same role, as well as for an SNL guest spot.

Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore attends the NBC and Universal EMMY nominee celebration at Tesse Restaurant on August 13, 2019 in West Hollywood, California.

Rachel Luna—WireImage

This Is Us has brought Moore her most successful TV role, and it earned her an Emmy nomination this year, for Outstanding Drama Actress.

Giancarlo Esposito

Giancarlo Esposito attends the Better Call Saul FYC Event at the Television Academy on March 26, 2019 in North Hollywood, California.

The longtime TV and film actor was nominated in 2012 for his work on Breaking Bad. Now he's up for a prize for his work on the prequel to that show, Better Call Saul. His TV background has been extensive, with stints on shows like Homicide, Law & Order, Revolution, Netflix's The Get Down and Once Upon a Time.

Alfie Allen

British actor Alfie Allen arrives for the "Game of Thrones" eighth and final season premiere at Radio City Music Hall on April 3, 2019 in New York city.

ANGELA WEISS—AFP/Getty Images

The Game of Thrones actor received his first Emmy nod this year for his work as an emotional Theon Greyjoy in the show's final season. Prior to Thrones, he had appeared in movies like 2007's Atonement and had small roles on some TV series, but Theon was Allen's big breakout.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau arrives for the "Game of Thrones" eighth and final season premiere at Radio City Music Hall on April 3, 2019 in New York city.

ANGELA WEISS—AFP/Getty Images

Fellow Game of Thrones actor Coster-Waldau is up for a second time for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of conflicted knight Jaime Lannister. Coster-Waldau has been acting for awhile, although most of his pre-Thrones credits were in the movie world, not TV.

Lena Headey

After five nominations for her work as Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones, this is Headey's last chance with that show to nab the elusive prize for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Before playing Cersei, Headey was a working actor for nearly two decades, with roles in an eclectic mix of shows and movies from a Merlin show to the action film 300.

Gwendoline Christie

Christie, who joined Thrones in its second season, finally got some recognition from the Emmys this year, with her first nomination for her role as Brienne of Tarth. Christie has only a few credits before Thrones, but since then has nabbed roles in the Star Wars movies and the TV series Top of the Lake.

Sophie Turner

Actress Sophie Turner attends the Heavy Photocall of the 45th Deauville American Film Festival on September 7, 2019 in Deauville, France.

Foc Kan—FilmMagic

This is Turner's first year with Emmy attention as well, after finishing her turn as Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones. Like many in the Thrones cast, it was her breakout role.

Maisie Williams

And the other Stark sister, Arya, also received an Emmy nomination. It's not her first; she was also considered in 2016 for her portrayal of the young royal with a rebel streak. Arya was Williams' first big acting credit.
