Sydney Pollack: 1 line

Alien: Covenant (2017): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through The Martian (2015), which they acted in: The Martian ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). The Martian's success gave Scott leverage to make an odder Alien film.

Chris Pratt: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which they acted in: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Chris Pratt (the host's read). The beefcake shot of Pratt echoes Chris Evans out of the tank, and Marvel now puts one in every trailer.

Acting (6) everyone in acting

What was said about them, by kind

career (1)

  1. career (career): Sebastian Stan → Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Griffin prefers Stan as the Winter Soldier, where his face suits the part, to the wooden Bucky of this film.
    “I prefer him as the winter soldier because he's just sort of got a good face for it.”

contrast (3)

    “You want him to be Harry Connick Jr. in Independence Day.”

  3. contrast (contrast): Sebastian Stan → Die Hard 5. Stan plays the action role too hard, like a Die Hard 5 performance, while the other commandos are having fun.
    “But he's just doing, like, this performance feels like it could be out of, like, diehard 5.”
