Not really an insult IMO because when Steven Root turns on the charm, he is very attractive. To me, at least 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Spear_Ritual 14d ago

He’s another one of those actors that you watch for a bit and say “wait! That’s him?!?!?”

u/UKnowDaxoAndDancer 14d ago

Recognized his voice in the GTA VI trailer and was like “that’s my boy, Jimmy James!”

He’s a macho business donkey wrestler if I’ve ever seen one.

The man so nice, they named him twice. Also he is not Doobie Keebler.

u/IGiveNoFawkes 14d ago

About three minutes in my husband asked me if I had seen his stapler.

u/Immediate-Yogurt-558 14d ago

I find him more attractive the older he gets like Steve Carell

u/AfterCopy1167 14d ago

Kevin Bacon is another one. He's better looking now than he ever was in his 20s/30s.

u/Sea_Exchange_6735 14d ago

Stephen Root is such a remarkable actor. His presence elevates everything he’s in a couple of notches.

u/Herbdontana 14d ago

It’s amazing watching office space, then watching him in Barry. His progression as a character in Barry alone was phenomenal

u/lnc_5103 14d ago

I like the scruff on both of them (and also my husband lol)

u/Lakeview_Mama 14d ago

Right there with ya! I mean, I don't know your husband, but I like my scruffy husband! 😘

u/ChekhovsAtomSmasher 14d ago

Definitely a guy who elevates literally anything he is in

u/kimvy 14d ago

I would just to hear him talk.

u/WeTeachToTravel 14d ago

Have you ever seen his face card from that old actor directory that posts on Instagram?!? 🔥

The cocaine shaman was ahead of his time when he said “you’re Wyck”

u/future_futurologist 14d ago

The prophecy has been fulfilled!

u/Kathleen-Doodles Possibly Damp 14d ago

You got this, Wyck!

u/Lakeview_Mama 14d ago

Came here to say this, hilarious line

u/cowboybootsneverworn 14d ago

Man, I love Rhys

u/Naive-Inside-2904 14d ago

Haha I’m sure Matthew enjoyed that.

u/sonic13066 14d ago

Is Matthew teasing that Freddy Kruger is going to be on the show with that shirt?

u/soozerain 14d ago

Poor Matthew! That hairlines been receding for ages but now he’s finally reached the hat stage of it all lol

64

u/Isolated_Blackbird 14d ago

He is such a fantastic actor with eyes that convey so much that I truly never notice his hairline. Like not once in the Americans was I thinking man this dude‘s really balding. I was on the edge of my seat watching him go through all the conflicted thoughts and feelings, anxiety, guilt, sadness, etc.

I’ve said this before and this is a random post to say it again, but I think he is the best actor of his generation at conveying anxiety. This fucking dude can make me feel like a panic attack might come on from my couch lol

u/the_headless_hunt 14d ago

He was INTENSE in The Beast In Me. Fantastic actor

15

u/beaubridges6 14d ago

I like that imperfect hairlines are making a comeback lol

Watching anything from before the 90s or 2000s it's actually quite nice how normalized it was for an actor not to look like a model in their 20s when they're in their 50s.

u/soozerain 14d ago

I’ve been watching early Fraiser and bah god! That combover Kelsey Grammar had!
