    1. Hey Dan. He is still just getting started….but I think he will be on the movie soon. Ah…the issue of The Meyerowitz Stories….yet another NetFlix movie that seems to have quietly reached theaters…..as they were trying to get a Oscar nomination for Dustin Hoffman (before the sexual harrassment claims)…I will have to add that movie to the database for Driver, Hoffman, Stiller and Sandler.

      Coming in at #322 is Michael Shannon…..thinking he needs an UMR page. He seems to be in almost every movie these days…..kind of like Gene Hackman and Michael Caine used to be…plus he seems like the new Christopher Walken.

      Good lists as always……his list will just keep growing and growing.

  2. Good selection. Adam Driver is an up and coming actor for sure. He seems to be doing a great job of not getting stuck in one type of role. I like his comic timing in movies like This Is Where I Leave You, While We’re Young and Logan Lucky. His Midnight Special is pretty good science fiction movie as well. You have been very busy lately. Good job!
