* Creator/BrandonLee, holy shit. Most of his movies prior to this play him as a skilled martial artist, yet with a laid-back comedic personality. ''Film/TheCrow'', on the other hand, shows him PlayingAgainstType as the deeply hurt and revenge-driven Eric Draven, and not only is it successful, '''it is scary'''. The fact that he died in the making of this movie makes his performance more haunting.

Added DiffLines:

* While known primarily as a skateboarder, Creator/TonyHawk did some substantial acting on the side besides his numerous promotional cameo appearances in various films. The [=CollegeHumor=] skit [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S54t5Qn7Au8 "Skateboarding is a Crime"]] and a [[https://www.instagram.com/p/C3qAqmYx4Px/ promotional spoof trailer]] for the X-Games demonstrated his abilities to carry a role; Hawk stated in an Instagram post that he cites the Bones Brigade film ''The Search for Animal Chin'' (which he starred in) as the movie that taught him all he needed to know about acting.


Added DiffLines:

* Creator/RodneyMullen carried his role as a tech startup mogul well in ''VideoGame/GhostReconBreakpoint'' considering how he is known more for his freestyle skateboarding than he is with acting. Though to be fair, he did have some showbiz experience before such as in the above-mentioned ''Animal Chin'' and as a skateboarding StuntDouble in many films.

** Creator/LeahLewis, who, prior to this film was best known for playing George Fan in ''Series/NancyDrew2019'' and for her performance as Ellie Chu in ''Film/TheHalfOfIt'', helped deliver a heartfelt, funny and emotional performance as the voice of protagonist Ember Lumen, and a highlight of Lewis' acting abilities [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNOMSgORhw0 can be seen here in this scene.]]
** Creator/MamoudouAthie's performance as Wade Ripple, like Leah Lewis' aforementioned performance as Ember mentioned above, also helped showcase the wide variety of emotions that Athie could display on screen, such as his crying and emotional range in the film, which can range from funny to heartfelt and tearjerking in more ways than one.
** [[Creator/PixarRegulars Ronnie del Carmen]], who had previously co-directed ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' and served as an animator at Pixar, helped give Ember's father Bernie Lumen the warmth and emotionally charged moments for his character in the film. One of which is his [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre "you were the dream"]] speech to his daughter Ember, which was after Wade was thought to have died after being evaporated.

** He became well-known for his [[DullSurprise deadpan delivery, monotone voice, and lack of emotional expression]]. But in ''Franchise/TheMatrix'', he proves that not only can he emote, but he can also emote well. Many also like to cite him as at least very enjoyable in the ''Film/BillAndTed'' movies as well, and others would cite ''Film/MyOwnPrivateIdaho''.

** From the teaser footage that's been shown of ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', there are people who think he could have the part '''nailed''' in spite of suffering from some serious WTHCastingAgency backlash when he was announced for the part. Having seen the movie, many critics were completely sold on him as Bruce Wayne/Batman, despite the film's tepid reception.

** In ''Film/WallStreetMoneyNeverSleeps'', he had received cries of WTHCastingAgency for his PlayingAgainstType beyond the action films he was known for, but when the movie came out, critics had agreed that he gave an overall solid performance as a stockbroker.
