Sam Rockwell is one of the most wonderfully underrated actors in Hollywood, whose presence can make anything bearable to watch. Even something as trite as the Poltergeist remake that no one asked for. He can play the meanie, as in The Green Mile, with at must ease as he can play a likeable sod in The Way, Way Back. Which is why we cheered when Sam Rockwell won the much deserved Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his terrific performance in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MissouriSam Rockwell in Talks to Play Merle Haggard in Country Music Legend's Biopic For Amazon Studios.

Some of Rockwell's most notable roles are in films like Moon, Iron Man 2, The Green Mile, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Matchstick Men, Galaxy Quest, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Charlie's Angels, Frost/Nixon, Jojo Rabbit, Vice and Richard Jewell. His emphatic style of dialogue delivery often gets him some amazing lines to spout. Or does he make them sound that way?
