Fantastic Four
Starring: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B Jordan, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell, Reg E. Cathey, Tim Black Nelson
Directed By: Josh Trank
Actor Profile: Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron turns 40 today, and to celebrate, I’ll run down the roles I’m familiar with. It’s actually appropriate, as her film Dark Places opens today. Unfortunately, it’s not a very good movie. She’s had better roles. The first film I saw Charlize in was That Thing You Do!, but her actual breakout role I haven’t seen in The Devil’s Advocate. From there, she had a lot of misfires, but Hollywood never gave up on her. Eventually, she won an Oscar for Monster (which I haven’t seen), and earned more praise for roles like North Country, Young Adult, and recently Mad Max: Fury Road.

Actor Profile: Mark Strong
I think its a testament to how much work Mark Strong gets, that even though the first time I saw him was in 2006, I’ve already seen 16 things with Mark Strong in it. And, he’s actually been an actor a lot longer since 2006.
