12 Awesome Supporting Actors Who Need Their Own Movies

9. Mark Strong

Kingsman The Golden Circle Mark Strong
Fox

Mark Strong has proven himself to be an ultra-reliable and versatile supporting player over the last decade, having played villains in the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Kick-Ass, Robin Hood, Green Lantern, John Carter, and soon enough, Shazam!

But he's also been able to flex his benevolent, comedic muscles in more recent years, proving ultra-likeable in the Kingsman films, and also being perfectly cast as the straight-man to Sacha Baron Cohen in the barmy The Brothers Grimsby.

He's got a great, distinctive look, he can play good guys and bad guys and he's got a killer knack for accents - what more could you want?

And yet, Strong seems perennially relegated to baddie/sidekick status, as though he's somehow incapable of getting butts in seats. It makes no sense.
