90’s Parker Posey is imho the one perfect example of someone who was almost entirely an indie lead actor and able to exist as an almost exclusively indie actor for most of their career.

Even when she started really doing Hollywood studio stuff in the 2000’s she’s made most of her career since still doing smaller stuff.

Bautista didn’t so much say he wanted to only do indies, he was more talking about doing dramatic stuff and not getting typecast as just a big muscular action dude.
