You know when you're watching a movie and there's that actor who's face
you recognise, but you don't know his name?
Well this video is a part of a
series, dedicated to the greatest of the unknown, the "that guy" actors.
David Morse is known as a respected supporting character actor and second
lead.
Who's impressive resume defiantly earns him a spot in my list.
This
underrated actor is known to play either loveable nice guys // or hateable
douches.
As of 2016 he's had roles in 50 films and more than 25 Tv series, although
it took him 10 years of performing on stage before he managed to break
into film.
His first Tv role was in St Elsewhere as Dr Jack Morrison, but his
first big screen appearance was in Director Sean Penns The Indian Runner.
David's prolific roles have been in all genres of movies such as in World
War Z where he's an Ex CIA Agent.
Morse steals the show as Mike Webster,
the brain damaged football player in the biography Concussion.
In Director
Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys he's the incredibly creepy Dr Peters.
He's the eerie neighbour in the thriller Disturbia, while filming Morse
slammed his hand into a wall and broke three fingers, but ignored the injury
and said he was ok to continue filming, this really intimidated Shia LaBeouf,
making Dave a legend in my books!
In the action thriller The Rock, Morse plays Major Tom Braxter, Ed Harris
second in command.
He played Jodie Fosters father Ted Arroway, in the
Sci-Fi drama Contact.
In The thriller Hurt Locker Morse has a quick but
memorable appearance as the impressed Colonel.
He has a part as Nicolas
Cage's old friend Webster, in the action thriller Drive Angry.
In the Fantasy
Horror Horns he's Dale Williams the father of the murdered girlfriend.
He makes an appearance as the adult version of Bobby Garfield in Stephen
Kings mystery, Hearts in Atlantis.
In The Long Kiss Goodnight Morse plays
Daedalus the head of a terrorist syndicate, He's the airline representative
Mr Arkin in the mystery romance Passengers.
In True Detective he makes
an appearance as the yoga lecturer Eliot Bezraidies, Rachel McAdams
father.
Morse plays Detective Frank Nugent the leader of the corrupt cops
in 16 Blocks, and he has a recurring role on season 3 of House MD as Police
detective Michael Tritter.
Now after watching all of those scenes, you can see why you probably
recognise him!
David Morse is one of those unforgettable actors, who
deserves a lot more attention than Hollywood gives him.
When it comes to
his acting ability, he's a force of nature.
I personally don't think there is
nothing wrong with been a supporting actor, but he barely gets recognised
or nominated for any awards.
So now that you know who he is, when you
see his face on the screen, you can say Oh it's David Morse!
Thanks for watching, and leave a comment in the comments section down

suggestions for more "that guy actors", please let me know.
