Actors that didn't make it based on their looks

[Charles_Foster]

Meryl Streep

She’s sort of pretty.

But she made a name for herself, and won a bunch of Oscars, not playing pretty girls.

And she continues to get a ton of work as an mature woman.

Frances McDormand

Is not now and was never cute,

But I’ll watch any movie with her in it.

Adam Sandler

Say what you want about all his crappy movies, but he should have won an Oscar for “Uncut Gems”.

And he made a lot of fans and money making bad movies, and he’s unfortunate looking.

Quite an accomplishment.

I can think of so many more.

What do you think?

What actors do you think made it on talent not looks?

Gene Hackman springs to mind

II thibk most comedians fit this category as being funny looking can actually add to their character.

Anybody whose going to play the pretty boy or beauty queen roles is usually physically attractive… That’s just Hollywood lol

Jack Black or Ben Stiller? Jonah Hill.

Also just wanted to bring to mind that there’s a huge problem in the film and fitness industry with steroids. Same way models are hurting themselves, men are injecting big time. You’d be surprised. Any time you see any of these super heros with a jacked dude don’t be surprised if Mr needle isn’t responsible.

I’m sure you know about this as I think you and your family are into fitness.

(I think your a really conscience person so thought you’d like to know)

Yeah the guy that played Shazam wasn’t sure to play him because Dwayne Johnson plays his enemy and that dude is huge.

Dustin Hoffman.

Christopher Walken

3 x Oscar winner for best supporting actor

It’s funny, people used to tell me I looked like Streep when I was younger

[Charles_Foster]

I’m not saying she’s ugly,

But she definitely made her way with pure talent.

My sister worked with her daughter on a show and said they’re great people.

Very friendly and humble.

Anyway, I wouldn’t be offended if someone said I looked like a young Streep.

Bob Odenkirk is not good looking, but he is a damn good actor. I like him in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
