"Te RΕ«nanga o NgΔti Awa, alongside HapΕ« members, are opposed to a consent application to develop land directly adjacent to the ancient urupΔ, Εpihiwhanaungakore. The consent application was made by MMS GP Ltd for a subdivision consent at 77 Bunyan Road, Piripai to the WhakatΔne District Council. The resource consent application outlines developersβ plans to develop the Εpihi Block into 240 residential lots, a retirement village, 13 access lots, eight reserve lots, and seven public road lots.
In the interests of kaitiakitanga, Te RΕ«nanga o NgΔti Awa have opposed all forms of residential development at 77 Bunyan Road, because of its central location within a cultural landscape, including its close proximity to Εpihiwhanaungakore UrupΔ, Εhuirehe UrupΔ, Εriini, WhakatΔne River, and the coast.
The consent hearing will be held between 15th and 18th of February 2021.
NgΔti Awa whΔnau can attend any part of the consent hearing."
It's Iwi Land for Iwi and Hapu to decide after so much damage by intergenerational thieving British/Euro/Tauiwi criminality. They can fuck off back to their own lands and dig up their own ancestors. Fucking 2-faced, thieving, Utter Scum.

So, every now and then, not the main actors, but an actor in a relatively smaller role is so good they steal either a scene, or a sequence, or even an entire movie.
In your opinions, what are good examples of these.
A couple of the top of my head:
The character Kid Blue in Looper. Although he seems to be considered stupid in the film by most of the other characters, he really seems to keep getting ahead and outsmarting others (although he always ends up screwing it up again).
Bill Murray in a very small role in Little Shops of Horrors. Steve Martin is the lunatic dentist who likes to scare and cause pain in his patients, but then out of nowhere, Bill Murray comes in and totally flips things on their head. He enjoys pain and wants the dentist to do his worst.
I know I have a lot more examples, I just can't think of them at the moment. If I do, I'll keep adding them to the list, but I would like to hear about your own.
EDIT:
Some good answers, but some people clearly don't even understand the question.
EDIT:
How in the hell did this post blow up so much?
EDIT:
I just remembered a good one. The character of Ellis in the first Die Hard movie.
Viggo Mortensen in Daylight
Top 3 Offenders
Dr Strange: Sounds like he's over emphasizes certain inflections on softer A sounds on words can't handle what
Power of the Dog: I'm not sure if he was going for a modern regional Montana accent or trying to go more southern cowboy. Either way complete miss
Black Mass: I suppose Boston has a notoriously difficult accent to nail but it was a bad enough attempt that they should've just hired another actor. He didn't have a lot of dialogue but what lines he did have he kinda mumbled through them
If you'd have told me when I was a kid that the guy from "Swingers" was going to usher in the Marvel cinematic universe, redefine the "Star Wars" universe and create one of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time, I'd have probably though you were talking about Vince Vaughn lol. Kudos to Jon Favreau!
Honestly, off the top of my head, I can only think of Zendaya. Her parents were high school teachers.
Then, on the other side of the pond, where classicism is supposedly even more pervasive in acting circles to the point where even Dame Judi Dench has famously spoken out about it, I can only think of James McAvoy and Olivia Cooke as actors that come from a working-class background.

I know it's hard to pick since literally everyone was fantastic. Even Alex, who is annoying, but was MEANT to be annoying, which means the actress did her job.
For me
- Matilda Lawler (fan for life tbh)
- MacKenzie Davis
- David Wilmot
- Himesh Patel
- Caitlyn Fitzgerald (her hamlet scene was awesome)
Actors I expected more from whether by script or acting wise... regardless I just didn't connect...
Lori Petty (love her, she will always be Tank Girl and Dot to me... but... everytime I saw her I was like... hey that's Lori Petty! She was almost too iconic to play the role)
Arthur/Gael Garcia Bernal (somehow I didn't feel or understand why everyone was drawn to this guy. We were shown tangentially by how much everyone loved him, but if I met this guy in real life I am not sure I would fall under the same spell, but I accept the premise I guess)
Danny Trejo-ho-ho
Merry Christmas, y'all

I love Dwayne Johnson. I love Ryan Reynolds. I think Lin Manuel is doing important things. While it's not actually the case it FEELS like they are involved in every other movie release and I just don't want to watch their movies. Is this some kind of fatigue? Over-saturation? Are casting decisions based on the same focus groups?
EDIT: Great responses and thank you for the insight. I would have to agree with most here that it may be more about the lack of variety with their roles than with the actors themselves. Type casting is a thing and they keep doing the same thing as long as it pays dividends.
