12 Awesome Supporting Actors Who Need Their Own Movies

After she dominated the screen as all-timer Bond girl Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale, it really seemed like Eva Green was set to take Hollywood by storm and become a veritable A-lister in her own right.

Casino Royale was just Green's fourth ever movie role, and some 13 years later, her full filmography lists just 21 released projects, including two TV shows (Camelot and Penny Dreadful).

Even so, Green's built a firm rep for herself as a thunderously intense actress capable of stealing the screen from just about anybody, as evidenced by her memorable performances in Dark Shadows, 300: Rise of an Empire, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Dumbo.

Simply, she's enormously skilled at elevating middling material with her physical commitment to her roles, which in conjunction with her beauty makes it legitimately surprising she hasn't branched out into lead actress fare.

Green has stated in interviews that she's cripplingly shy, so perhaps she prefers the lesser attention of the supporting arena. Either way, producers are leaving money on the table by not giving Green her own femme fatale action vehicle.
