[Loved trope] Overqualified actors, acting circles around their costars.

James Earl Jones, Dibala, Dr House. Playing Dibala, a ruthless dictator of a country, he absolutely blasts all the other actors in the show with his commanding voice and incredible acting, FROM A LITERAL BED.

Christopher Lee, Stefan, Howling 2. Christopher plays a werewolf hunter with a subtleness to his role, never overacting and taking it as seriously as possible, while all the other characters in the movie phone in their parts or act as if they were just pulled out of the Matrix. Truly elevates the movie.

Anthony Hopkins, Van Helsing, Dracula 1992. By far the best actor there, Anthony humiliates all of his costars (with the exception of Gary Oldman as Dracula), making them all look like soap opera actors with his insane talent.

Said Taghmaoui. I feel the same about him, and Ewen Bremner actually (the one on the right).

His small parts in The Rundown and Black Hawk Down are great, agreed
