50 God-Tier Acting Moments Buried in Bad Movies

Joker: Folie a Deux was one of the weirdest sequels in recent memory, and not in a good way. It was an almost universally-loathed, Razzie-winning box office bomb that was following up the beloved Best Picture-nominated, billion-dollar-grossing Joker. It was a film that gave its audience the middle finger and stubbornly defied expectations at every single turn, and it was a musical that seemed embarrassed about being a musical and never committed to this format.

And... it was a movie with a stacked cast of distinguished, award-winning actors, and yet all of them were acted off the screen by an obscure Brit who's barely got any other film credits. 

That is none other than Leigh Gill, who plays Gary Puddles, a former co-worker of Arthur's (Joaquin Phoenix) who testifies against him in court. Gill gives a profoundly affecting, vulnerable performance that conveys the effects of PTSD in the most unsettling of ways, and this is the only satisfying part of what is otherwise one of the dullest, most pointless court cases ever committed to film.  

As mentioned earlier, Gill hasn't been in too much else, though hopefully this scene-stealing performance will serve as a calling card for him to get more work. If this is anything to go by, the film world would be richer for it.
