discussion currently being had regarding actors and the quality of their movies.

who was only in really amazing movies or really awful movies. no tweeners.

steve says Rutger Hauer
Michael Caine has entered the conversation
Samuel L Jackson?

John Cazale never had a dud of course, but there's no range when they're all belters.

Gene Hackman would be my shout. Phillip Seymour Hoffman perhaps. There must be the odd tweener but there's a big old gulf twixt best and worst.

This is one of those things like the “no dud albums” thing where longevity and being prolific are penalties, I think. Samuel L Jackson has been in so many movies ; there’s bound to be a few tweeners.

Actors who came to mind, though I’d bet they have a few tweeners too:
Lawrence Fishburne
Christopher Lee
Jack Nance
Monica Vitti

Wild at Heart probably disqualifies both him and Jack Nance. But yeah, he came to mind as well.

Tom Sizemore

Orson Welles?

Dennis Hopper.
