10 Upcoming Movies That Will Change Your Mind About Actors

10. The End Of The Tour - Jason Segel

Jason Segel is a odd prospect, more often than not cast in variations of his How I Met Your Mother character: the model for nice guy relationship types who might get kicked about a bit, but who always end up doing ok. He's a likeable actor, but he's never pulled up too many trees actually performing.

That could soon change with The End Of The Tour: the most Sundance of Sundance films following Segel as tragic, accalimed author David Foster Wallace through the eyes of Jesse Eisenberg's David Lipsky.

The role, which will require Segel to capture not only Wallace's easy appeal and mythos but also the reality of his inner turmoil and depression is far more complex than anything he's done to date. And that could mean the Segel who emerges from it is entirely different to the Muppet loving comedy nice guy.

Will It Last?

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like The End Of The Tour is going to achieve anything like mainstream success, even if it entirely deserves to, so it's more likely he'll be back to more Sex Tape-like fare sooner rather than later.
