We're back with an Oscar winner this week. Regina King came to prominence in the early '90s for her roles in Boyz n the Hood, Jerry Maguire and Enemy of the State. She only became more prominent through the 2000s with roles in A Cinderella Story and The Boondocks. An accomplished director in her own right, King has directed multiple TV episodes and the film One Night in Miami... In 2018, she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk. King has continued to act and direct, with great success in the likes of Netflix's The Harder They Fall and Shirley.

We're back with our first new episode of the year. Andrew and Stephen go down under to check out the career of Australian actor Guy Pearce.

Confidential and Memento to his decision to switch from leading big-budget pictures to headlining smaller films such as Brimstone, Lockout, The Proposition and The Rover or appearing in supporting roles in The Hurt Locker, The King's Speech and Prometheus.

Of the many moustaches we've covered, the best and most consistent belongs to Sam Elliott. With a career stretching across 50 years, the actor made his name in Westerns and often played men of action. He also diversified and played around with his image in the likes of The Big Lebowski and A Star is Born. Best known for Tombstone and 1883, Sam Elliott has been a reliable presence and you can hear us talk about why here.

With special guest Hugh Carr, we're discussing all things Dastmalchian - from his breakthrough in The Dark Knight to his three roles in Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune Part One and from the recent The Last Voyage of the Demeter to the even more recent Late Night with the Devil.

It's Walton week on I Know That Face. Walton Goggins that is. Andrew and Stephen set out to cover the prolific character actor's career from his humble beginnings in Robert Duvall's The Apostle through his scene stealing turns in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight right up to his most recent role in Amazon's Fallout. Don't think we forgot about his star making roles in The Shield and Justified. Well we did but No Encore host Dave Hanratty didn't and he came in at the 11th hour to help us out with those.

Andrea Riseborough joins Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tilda Swinton to complete the Holy Trinity of actresses who can do anything. Able to shift chameleon-like between roles, Riseborough is one of our favourites and has appeared in crime thrillers like Welcome to the Punch, horrors like Mandy and The Grudge, scored an Oscar nod for To Leslie in 2022 and appeared in the musical Matilda. Like I said, she can do it all!

This week we begin our two part coverage on the King of the Character Actors: Christopher Walken. Known for his eccentric characters, out there line deliveries and the ease with which he switches from calm to chilling, Walken is one of the greatest living actors right now.

The midnight hour is close at hand this week on I Know That Face as we take a deep dive into horror films starring Vincent Price. The Merchant of Menace is best known for a string of Edgar Allen Poe adaptations produced and directed by Roger Corman in the early ‘60s but his output extends from Universal Horror in the 1940s all the way to the early work of Tim Burton. Price starred in horror hits such as House of Wax, Witchfinder General and Theatre of Blood. Non-horror fans may know him best from the monologue in Michael Jackson's Thriller or as Professor Rattigan in The Great Mouse Detective.

I Know That Face returns! We're champions of the underappreciated here and few other actors feel as underappreciated as Djimon Hounsou. A commanding and authoritative presence, Hounsou has appeared in movies such as The Island, Never Back Down, The Legend of Tarzan, Guardians of the Galaxy and Shazam! However, his most soulful work is in films such as Blood Diamond, Gladiator and In America. If you're as excited for Gladiator 2 as we are, this episode is worth your time.

On our last episode before our annual summer break, we talk about the career of the legendary Ernest Borgnine. A naval officer through the war years, he turned to acting after his discharge and within a decade had won the 1956 Best Actor Oscar for Marty. The actor was relied on as an unconventional lead and a supporting player for many in such films as Bad Day at Black Rock, The Dirty Dozen, The Wild Bunch, The Poseidon Adventure and Hustle. Some listeners may note a decline in audio quality in this episode, this was due to some technical issues on our end but rest assured our dulcet tones will return this summer!

It's springtime at last and with spring comes flowers. Ramona Flowers that is. We're covering Mary Elizabeth Winstead's eclectic career this week - from her blue-pink-green-haired heroine in Scott Pilgrim vs The World to her horror roles in the much-maligned 2011 The Thing remake and the much better 10 Cloverfield Lane. Winstead has switched easily from blockbusters in the likes of Birds Of Prey to much smaller indie fare like Faults to her action hero potential in the likes of Kate.

And we're back! I Know That Face is coming in hot in 2023 with the most classically handsome man we've covered: Glen Powell. A long time actor, Powell has risen from one line roles in The Dark Knight Rises to bulking up large ensembles in The Expendables 3 and from meatier supporting roles in Everybody Wants Some!! and Top Gun: Maverick to co-leading the rom-com Set It Up and the true war story Devotion. Powell is one of western cinema's brightest talents whose star is rapidly on the rise but still a long way from his peak. That makes him perfect for us.

This week's I Know That Face episode is a packed one, beginning with Andrew and Stephen looking at the career of a workhorse of an actor. Jun Kunimura hasn't taken a year off since 1991 and the effort shows in his work with Ridley Scott, Quentin Tarantino, John Woo, Takashi Miike, Takeshi Kitano and Na Hong-jin. Best known in the west as the beheaded Boss Tanaka in Kill Bill Vol. 1, the Japanese actor made his bones in lean and mean horrors and crime thrillers like Audition, Ichi the Killer, Outrage and Manhunt. Meanwhile, his most famous and well-rounded recent role as the mysterious Japanese stranger in the South Korean horror epic The Wailing won him the Best Supporting Actor and Popular Star awards at the Blue Dragon Awards, making him the first non-Korean to do so. Also in the episode, Stephen interviews director Sebastián Lelio about his new Irish-set mystery drama The Wonder starring Florence Pugh. It's out in Irish cinemas now before it will receive a Netflix release on 16 November.

Halloween is in full swing here on I Know That Face and this week, we are doing something a little different. Instead of talking about the career of a character actor, we're talking about an entire genre, well sub-genre, of horror movies. Beginning with The Blair Witch Project, Stephen and Andrew dive into found footage. Listen in for debates about more popular fare like Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity to unanimous agreement on Asian horrors like Noroi: The Curse, The Medium and Incantation.

The spooky season starts early on I Know That Face.

I Know That Face returns! This week Andrew and Stephen discuss the King of weirdo character actors: Michael Wincott. Canadian by birth and an off-the-wall actor by choice, Wincott broke through in the likes of Oliver Stone's Talk Radio and 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. His raspy, sensuous voice and dark, devilish smile made him an easy pick for villains like Top Dollar in The Crow, Philo Gant in Strange Days and Gary Soneji in Along Came A Spider. Always selective in his roles, Wincott became more choosy as the years went by appearing to go on hiatus after 2017. In 2022, he reappeared after a 5-year break in Jordan Peele's sci-fi horror blockbuster Nope as cryptic, disaffected cinematographer Antlers Holst.

"I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you." I Know That Face returns with an episode critics are calling "outrageously hilarious" and "side-splittingly funny" focused on all-time comedy great Leslie Nielsen. Our episode on the so-called "Olivier of spoofs" examines the performer's path from clean-cut dramatic actor in Forbidden Planet to his transition to character actor in 1972's The Poseidon Adventure before finally covering the funnies. From Airplane! to The Naked Gun franchise all the way to the 2000s spoof-heavy comedy scene, Nielsen defines not only a certain kind of comedy but the genre itself.

Let's talk about Riley Keough! Let's talk about Fury Road! This week Stephen and Andrew freefall through the career of one of the 2010's best character actors: Riley Keough. Already familiar with fame as the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, Keough took the road less travelled when it came to her own career. Beginning with The Runaways in 2010, the actress spent the first half of the 2010s appearing in indie fare like Magic Mike and Dixieland, before hitting the big time in George Miller's oil and chrome odyssey Mad Max: Fury Road. From there, Keough stuck with independent cinema and became a frequent collaborator of Steven Soderbergh's in the TV series The Girlfriend Experience and crime-comedy Logan Lucky. In the last few years, Keough has pursued darker roles, especially in It Comes At Night, The House That Jack Built, The Lodge, The Devil All the Time and Zola.

This week on I Know That Face, Stephen and Andrew venture into uncharted territory as they discuss the only character actor in the MCU: Don Cheadle.

He was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for Hotel Rwanda and in 2010 replaced Terrence Howard as War Machine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In recent years, Cheadle has appeared in Steven Soderbergh's No Sudden Move and in Space Jam: A New Legacy.

And we're back! For our first episode of 2022, we're taking a look at the career of Hollywood's most reliable Frenchman Vincent Cassel. First rising to prominence in Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine as macho French youth Vinz, the actor went on to establish himself as a leading heavyweight in France. Starring in films like L'Apartment, Dobermann and Brotherhood of the Wolf, Cassel was much sought after by the time his first English language role as Robin Hood in Shrek came around. From there, he made waves as the Night Fox in the latter two films of Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Trilogy, as a closeted Russian gangster in David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises and as a seductive ballet director opposite Natalie Portman in Black Swan. Cassel has acted mostly in European cinema in the last decade with some highlights including Jason Bourne, The World is Yours and Underwater.

Is it that time of the year already? Before the I Know That Face crew takes a short break in the new year, we're sharing our annual discussion of the best films of the past 12 months with you. 2021, like its predecessor, was a strange year for movies. Superhero cinema came back in a big way and along with low-budget horror reasserted its claim to the box office throne. Many delayed films such as The Last Duel, The French Dispatch and Last Night in Soho finally came out and none of them ended up on our respective lists. Andrew sings the praises of nihilistic horror fare like David Prior's The Empty Man and Shudder's The Medium while also spotlighting Kristen Stewart's powerhouse performance in Pablo Larrain's Spencer. Both Andrew and Stephen loved Malignant and two similar but very different Mads Mikkelsen movies. Stephen also takes a rewarding dive into the surreal M. Night Shyamalan's Old and the Nicolas Cage vengeance vehicle Pig, before chatting at the end of the episode to Valdimar Jóhannsson, the co-writer and director of the Noomi Rapace starring Lamb.
