What Actor Should Get a Meta Celebration of Their Career Next?

You should see both films if you haven't already. What links them together is how meta they are about their leads and careers. The kind of role that lets her be incredibly funny and dramatic while kicking all sorts of ass is what makes Everything Everywhere so great. Nicholas Cage has a unique, strange energy that allows him to fill a niche in Hollywood that not every actor is able to. Unbearable Weight argues that Cage should be celebrated because of all of the roles he has played.

There are many older actors that are doing great work these days, and some of them have been able to have fun and take on roles you wouldn't expect from them, like Denzel Washington in Book of Eli. They haven't yet gotten the chance to headline a film that celebrates their storied careers. The biggest examples of this trend are Tom Cruise and John Wick. For this week's Open Channel, we want to know what actor you think could carry a film that's basically a monument to their talent the way that Everything and Unbearable are for their respective actors. Let us know if you have actors in mind.
