Others chase awards. And then there’s Sam Rockwell, who’s just chasing a good time. He danced his way through Iron Man 2, played ping pong with himself in Moon, and stole scenes in everything from The Green Mile and Galaxy Quest to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Jojo Rabbit. His career makes no real sense, bouncing from animated films (The Bad Guys) to video games (Dishonored 2) to movies barely anyone saw, but that unpredictability is part of the charm. Whether he’s the lead or just somewhere in the background, there’s always one thing in common: you wish he had more screen time. But Rockwell didn’t get here by accident. It took years of bouncing between smaller parts and unknown films. Eventually, he got his shot at becoming a leading man: a few big roles, a bit of buzz, even a GQ cover, but it never quite worked out. So instead of forcing it, he leaned into the roles that let him be offbeat, weird, or unpredictable. The ones that don’t usually win awards… until they do. This is the story of an actor who just wants to have fun, not by chasing the spotlight, but by dancing just outside of it. This is Sam Rockwell.
