10 Movie Actors Who Did Their Best Work On TV

If you were going to make a list of the most likeable actors in Hollywood, then Bill Hader would certainly break onto it like the Kool-Aid Man through a drywall. He has a relatability that's impossible to hate, and even when his characters are on the annoying side, you still feel for them. That is what has led to his great career.

As an SNL alumnus, he's no stranger to TV. But, his career kicked off when he started taking notable roles in big comedy movies. Flicks like The Skeleton Twins, Trainwreck, Superbad and more have proven that his comedy skills are on-point.

Still, it's this surprising series that acts as his magnum opus.

Barry is about as far removed from Hader as you could expect. He plays the titular character, a hitman who discovers a passion for theatre and makes strides to become an actor. Let's hope it's not secretly autobiographical.

The role has bagged Hader two Primetime Emmys, and it's well deserved. His performance balances off-beat humour with darkness and edge. Barry Berkman is a role that allows Hader to perform his typecast whilst still challenging your expectations of him. He's funny, tragic and even intimidating at times, proving that the comedian is no one-trick pony.
