Hayden Christensen in Shattered Glass. I was really shocked by how much I loved his performance because I really haven’t enjoyed him in anything else.
Also, Adam Sandler in Punch-Drunk Love is one of my favorite performances ever. I really wish he would work with PTA again because I hate virtually everything else Sandler does.

I am convinced that anyone can give a truly great performance under the right circumstances, but if they are generally crap, I don't give them points for getting it right once or twice.

Matthew Lillard in Twin Peaks. He was good in Scream as well, but that performance last year was a revelation.

Can Tommy Wiseau give a good performance directed by Martin Scorsese? I'm planning on watching The Room right after this post, so curious to see the response on this one. Edit: Welp, the movie is on Youtube and started fine, then turned into stills to avoid copyright. So neeeeevermind. |

If used in the right way, why not? |

He was better in The Wedding Singer, Funny People, and The Meyerowitz Stories tbh. This "Punch-Drunk Love is Sandler's only good performance" BS needs to end. |

I did enjoy him in the Meyerowitz Stories and Funny People (never saw Wedding Singer), so in that sense I do agree with you, but I did say “virtually everything else Sandler does”, not “everything else Sandler does.” I think the reason why I mentioned him is because he is an actor who I generally HATE and while there are a few other films that I like him in quite a bit, Punch Drunk Love is a performance that I personally really love so it really stands out for me, even if it’s not his only good performance. |

Fully agree with stephen I think every actor out there probably has one great performance in them. |
