10 Actors Who Make Everything They're In Better

7. Michael Peña

Blue Valentine

Recently reaching an entirely new generation of audiences with his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Michael Peña has been one of the most underrated but prolific actors of his generation ever since his debut in the late-90s.

Since his big break in Gone in 60 Seconds, Peña has starred in a wide variety of films, most notably Crash, World Trade Centre, Shooter, End of Watch, Ant-Man, American Hustle, Babel, The Martian... The list goes on, through various comedies, action flicks, hard-hitting dramas, and sci-fi thrillers.

He's never front-and-centre, but Peña has shown an incredible ability not only to make numerous different films at once (in 2018 alone, he starred in seven movies), but to blend into them without fault, regardless of genre.

Able to be wickedly funny and heartbreakingly dramatic, Michael Peña is the kind of actor you see turn up on-screen and instantly realise you're in for a good time. Whether if you're about to subject yourself to Tom & Jerry or Fury, he's worth sticking around for.
