John Lithgow. He's amazing. Extremely versatile from comedy to drama and nails every single thing he's ever been in.
Obviously his performance in 'Harry and the Hendersons' began my idolization of John Lithgow which continued through '3rd Rock From The Sun'. Now more recently I've watched 'The Crown' in which he absolutely crushes his performance as Winston Churchill. I'm a big fan of Gary Oldman and his portrayal as Winston in 'Darkest Hour' and thought no one would ever touch it, but then J-Lith comes along and makes me question everything.
Now I'm watching 'The Old Man' with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow is absolutely crushing this drama performance as well.
What do you guys think of John Lithgow? I love him.

I only really recall him from Third Rock From the Sun, but I saw him in a movie on HBO recently with Robin Williams and John was a cross-dresser.
-
He's great. A very enjoyable actor.
-
He seemed very believable as a preacher who banned dancing.

He was great in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Cross reference with 80s/90s country thread but I'll add Dwight Yoakam. Cause he'd be in a movie and I'd always be like ohh, man, that's Dwight Yoakam.

Love Lithgow. Also was a part of the best Dexter season.
Lithgow, more like Lithgod!

I think the first season is better, but the lithgod one is very good too!

What was the movie where Lithgow played a villain? It was probably his only dud role because he wasn't believable as an evil tough guy, IMO.
-
Any one of the 3-4 people that are in all of Adam Sandler's movies. No one knows who they are, but they always do great jobs.

That was the smash hit/documentary called Cliffhanger and he was a decent villain IMO.

John was great in Orange County as the estranged dad. “I will eat your face!” & him getting flustered seeing Leslie Mann flirting with the pool boy. :lol:
I just remembered 12 years later he played the same character as Leslie Mann’s dad. :lol:
-
He wasn’t very believable as a woman in The World According To Garp.

if J-Lith had one mis-step I would have to say I very much resented his performance in the Progresso soup commercials. atrocious.

Matthew Lillard.
Welcome back wacky!

John Lithgow has played a lot of villains and he has crushed them all. Remember he was that racist senator on The Tuskegee Airmen? Any role where he has to have a slight southern drawl he absolutely kills.
-
He was amazing in Ricochet

Lithgow freaking out on a plane in Twilight Zone: the Movie, and then Aykroyd joins in for a surprise finish! Doesn’t get better than that.

Watching Interstellar. Not convincing farmer.

Sam Rockwell is the most underappreciated actor of our time.

He's good in that Dahmer show.

Bone Tomahawk sounds like a great thing but I find westerns boring.

I’ve always found him annoying. It’s his voice.
I recognize he is talented but I pass on a lot of his stuff

Guys it seems there is some confusion about this thread. It's not a debate, there is no debate, it's John Lithgow. I guess you can name other actors if you want, just know that they are not The Most Underrated Actor Of Our Time.
