10 Low-Key Amazing Performances In Movies
1. Vin Diesel - The MCU
Yes, number one is a tree. And we'll explain why.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of big characters who love to mouth off. Tony Stark, Dr. Strange, Star-Lord, Spider-Man, Rocket Raccoon, the list goes on and on.
And how many of them would be able to express as much emotion and character if their dialogue was reduced to just five different words.
The hulking wooden member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Groot shone in his debut appearance in 2014. Voiced by Vin Diesel of all people, the colossal conifer ends up sacrificing himself for his friends and brilliant changing his one line of speech from "I am Groot" to "We are Groot."
We're not crying, you're crying!
This performance alone would be enough to put him on top of this list, but Groot has continued to wow us in his subsequent appearances. Whether as a baby or a grumpy teenager, he's given us comedy and drama in equal measure with only a handful of syllables in his arsenal.
This might sound ridiculous, but per word uttered, Vin Diesel might be the best actor in the entire MCU.
Isn't that insane?
