I missed "Nobody" until "Nobody 2" came out, both great flicks that likely opened this action door for him.

Honestly.... There are SO MANY late career B+ list dramatic/character actors who end up making a weird transition into action-dad that nothing would surprise me.

Liam Neeson is absolutely on this metaphorical Mt Rushmore

yeah but now he's narrating antivax documentaries so he can fuck right off.

Well that’s disappointing to hear!

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Really!!! What the fuck.

"Dad Action Movies" are huge and are only gonna get more and more popular as the actors age. Jason Momoa has already done like five.

Eddie Murphy has entered the chat.

And his fellow SNL alum Billy Crystal handled himself well in "Running Scared."

And let's not forget Diane Keaton in "The Little Drummer Girl."

i mean that's entirely due to the ironic nature of "Nobody". The hero is supposed to be an unassuming, normal-looking, non-action-hero-type, kind of guy.
