He played the young Captain Hook in Pan, which might have made an impact if anyone had actually gone to see Pan. He's in the upcoming Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, which is being directed by Ang Lee. Unfortunately for him, Steve Martin, Vin Diesel, Kristin Stewart, and Chris Tucker are also in the movie, so odds are pretty good people will be so busy wondering just how in the world those four actors got themselves cast in the exact same film that they probably won't notice Hudlund again.
Don't remember this thread the first time round, but now that it's here: Oscar Isaac.
The first and still only movie I've seen with Oscar Isaac is Star Wars: The Force Awakens, in a role that I guess a lot of people really love but to me didn't feel like much of anything. So, I know who he is, I've seen him, I could recognize him now, and I'm aware that he made a splash in Inside Llewyn Davis, A Most Violent Year and Ex Machina, but for a guy who's been on the grind since 2002, I feel like he came out of fucking nowhere and has went straight to the "old hat" stage of being a good, dependable actor who everybody knows and loves.

Wait, what? Holy shit, I don't know what this movie is about but I have to see it when it comes out. Steve Martin, Vin Diesel, Kristin Stewart, and Chris Tucker in an Ang Lee picture? Even if it sucks it'll be worth watching.
So I just read Ignatiy's highly enjoyable review for Mojave and I realized I STILL don't know who Garrett Hedlund is. The whole time I was picturing Tom Hiddleston. This motherfucker really needs to do something notable soon, or forfeit the name Garrett to G. Dillahunt (Deadwood lives!) and change his name to Bob.
Goddamnit, they made a movie called Mojave? I was going to make a movie called Mojave! It was going to be a contemporary western with lush scenery, which would be far more appropriate for such a title!

Lemme helpya with a bit of redirection. You could call your future film, Cal-Nev-Ari, Zzyzx, Camp Soda, or Siberia to Bagdad. Just look on the map, fool.

His supporting role in Drive started the raising of his profile, I think.

Inside Llewyn Davis was the movie that put him on the map. Almost unknown actor gets cast as lead in a Coen movie and does an amazing job. Of course everybody knows his face now.

Sure, it heavily raised awareness of him and may well be his career defining role, but I doubt I'm the only one who first took notice of him because of Standard in Drive. I remember (and certainly don't feel great about) thinking he was great, but thinking he was a white guy in bronzer at first. He was stuck in my mind after that.

See, I don't remember him at all from Drive, but I thought he was great in Inside Llewyn Davis, so I was glad to see him get more exposure in stuff like Show Me a Hero and A History of Violence. I don't quite get his role in Star Wars, though. I can see what Snape, Always means when he says it's like he came out of nowhere. Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill weren't arthouse darlings when they starred in the first Star Wars. Both Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver seem out-of-place in the latest film, like they were brought in to class up the project like Alec Guinness, Ewan MacGregor, and Liam Neeson - but they're too contemporary and American. For similar reasons, I also didn't like the casting of Samuel L. Jackson in the prequels - there, I said it!

I first noticed him in Agora, that historical movie with Rachel Weisz. He was pretty memorable even in what should've been a bland role.

Calling Agora a "historical" movie is rather charitable, since it's basically entirely bullshit. Which, to be fair, is par for the course for a Hollywood movie about history.

I took a class in Ancient Egyptian history while in college. One of our assignments was to watch an historical film set in Ancient Egypt and critique it for accuracy. Easiest assignment ever. Well, that was half the assignment. The other half was to watch a documentary film/tv special and critique THAT for accuracy. That was also easy.

Ah, I loved that class.
Reminds me of the science class where I had to critique the science in one of several Hollywood movies. I chose The Core.
Who the fuck is Amber Heard? Is she not Amber Tamblyn? And what of Alyson Hannigan?
Furthermore, Shailene Woodley? Daisy Ridley?
I've given up on distinguishing Emily Blunt from Emmy Rossum and Emma Roberts...
I think Alyson Hannigan is the person who played Lily on How I Met Your Mother. Daisy Ridley was Rey (the lead) from Star Wars VII. The others I don't know, you might literally have made them up and I wouldn't know any better. Honestly I'm not even sure why I thought it was a good idea to answer a question on this thread.

So who exactly was Philip Seymour Hoffman, and why does everyone think that people should know of him? What was he ever in apart from Catching Fire or whatever it was called?

Philip Seymour Hoffman was a tall, pale, fat blond guy with a low, nasal voice who was in most of PT Anderson's movies and won the Oscar for Capote. He also played Lester Bangs in Almost Famous.

Wrong.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman played Dusty in Twister. This is why he is known and considered an American treasure.

Surely all of you jest! Phillip Seymour Hoffman is best known for playing the doctor in the beloved classic Patch Adams who coldly believes in the power of "science" and "medicine" over jokes...at least until he is won over by having an old woman play in a kiddie pool filled with spaghetti.

I remember reading The Disaster Artist, thinking how touched he was to meet two legendary actors who passed before their time, and how weird it was that it was on the set of that movie.
