You may not recognize Jesse Plemons when you hear (or, in this case, read) his name, but he's one of those actors you would unquestionably recognize as having seen in scene-stealing roles in some of your favorite movies and TV shows. Since his breakout performance in Friday Night Lights, Plemons has carved out a nice career for himself as one of the best character actors in all of Hollywood.
Now, the unsung hero has finally been recognized with an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in his role as George Burbank in Netflix's Power of the Dog. Despite proving himself as a more than capable leading man in Fargo, Other People, Black Mirror, and I'm Thinking of Ending Things, it feels apt that his first-ever nomination should be for Supporting, as he remains one of the best "do less with more" supporting actors around. With an Academy Award nomination officially under his belt, I was itching to revisit some of his earlier work to confirm this acting superpower.
