Why Stanley Tucci is the Ultimate Film Wingman

If for every film I have watched where Stanley Tucci plays a leading role I earned $1, I don't think I would be very rich. A couple of weeks ago my sister said to me "have you ever realised that Stanley Tucci has hardly ever played in a leading role", and after that I began to think about the fact that Stanley Tucci is quite literally the ultimate film wingman. 

'The Devil Wears Prada', 'Julie & Julia', 'The Hunger Games', 'Easy A' and more are all films where, yes you guessed it, Stanley Tucci plays in either a supporting role or minor character role. Why is it that Stanley Tucci has largely, only played in roles where his character is of support to the main characters within a film? Maybe it is his extraordinary ability to transform into any character, or maybe it is just because he suits that kind of role (which I think is very much apparent considering he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in 'The Lovely Bones'). But, despite all that, almost every time Stanley Tucci is in a film playing in a supporting role, his performance and presence completes a film and gives it that little "Tucci Touch" I think every film needs. 

If I were to think about who are some of my favourite actors, I most definitely think Stanley Tucci is up there. His quirky nature, impeccable ability to adapt into any role and fun personality are all incredible, but I think what I like about him most is that it is not his role that puts him into the spotlight, but his genuinely quite amazing acting abilities, which is why I think he is the ultimate film wingman. If I were a main character in a film, and Stanley Tucci was playing my sidekick, father, brother, or best friend, I would almost feel threatened because despite the fact I am the main character in whatever the film maybe, I would know that Stanley Tucci's flawless reputation would definitely be reciprocated in this film and his performance would most likely be outstanding and therefore, outshine mine. Although this may contradict the idea that Stanley Tucci is the ultimate film wingman because he would quite literally steal the show, I believe his overall work ethic would not allow for this to happen, but benefit the entire movie and achieve the ratings and reviews they were after. 

But overall, Stanley Tucci, despite the fact he does not often play in leading roles, is an actor who always focuses on the present. When working in a role, Stanley Tucci is so focused on the moment and the emotion it requires which seamlessly achieves convincing and realistic results. Stanley Tucci is a wonderful actor and entices people through his ability to stir emotion and connect to the audience, which is something I think we should treasure in the film industry. He provides his fellow actors with everything, connects with them and achieves such convincing performances that no matter what role he is in, he is always the star of the show. Stanley Tucci is the ultimate film wingman, and I actually think I am quite right in saying that.
