Finding Woody Harrelson unexpectedly in movies.

Submitted by come_sing_with_me t3_zzhd79 in movies

Call it chance or coincidence, but of late, I’m seeing Woody Harrelson unexpectedly in many movies. Like I’ll start watching a movie with not idea he’s in there and he pops up suddenly. And it’s such a pleasant surprise. E.g I started to watch After The Sunset. I only knew Brosnan and Hayek were in the movie. No idea who else was in there. Out popped Woody out of nowhere. Then next day I started watching Hunger Games. I only knew Jennifer Lawrence was in there. Then I see Woody in there too. That’s when it hit me. Everytime I see him in a movie, it’s like an Easter egg. A good one.

I can’t believe such a good actor isn’t in more movies or gets lead roles.

Anger Management has to be the best Woody cameo.

He has a great and relatively short part in No Country for Old Men.

His part in the books was more fleshed out. But still he played it great.

And the part he plays is loosely based on his own father in real life.

Oh man, wait till you get to Triangle of Sadness. It’s a small part, but boy does he make an impact.

If you told me Woody Harrelson was going to be one of the best character actors of this generation when he was on cheers, I would have laughed in your face. Now I can't get enough of the man. He flips between zany to serious like he has a switch.

The funny thing for me is I remember seeing him on cheers as my dad watched it when I was like, 5 and hating him. And now I love him in anything he shows up in

I think its because of his smile and his eyebrows.

And he just "turns off" one of those when switching between types of roles.

He's got the maddest eyebrows in the biz, but the moment he cracks a smile, you can't help but to think he's a goofy s.o.b.

His roles in No Country for Old Men and Three Billboards were excellent.

I didn't know he was in Edge of Seventeen, needless to say it was a perfect casting.

I saw him recently in Triangle of Sadness and he's fantastic.

TV shows too. Of course true detective but he was good in Curb your Enthusiasm.

Seems like his role in the Hunger Games opened him up for all manner of hidden roles. And he has become something of a method actor. I like seeing him pop up in this and that.

I'm always happy to see Woody Harrelson in a movie/show. He's either really diverse, or his style of acting just fits so many different roles well. I mean he can go from Kingpin and White Men Can't Jump, to Natural Born Killers and True Detective and he's great in all of them.

I had NO idea he was in Triangle of Sadness.

It was a very welcomed surprise

Yeah, I was surprised when he showed up as the talking plane in Top Gun: Maverick and as the Mona Lisa in Glass Onion.

His role in Anger Management has not aged well.
