From Galaxy Quest and Charlie's Angels, to Moon and Three Billboards, Sam Rockwell is one of the most diversely talented actors around. But he's not just a great character actor... he's a gosh darn good dancer. And Sam Rockwell finds some way to hoof it in just about every movie he's in. Let's take a look.

No one dances like Sam

What I love about the iron man 2 dance was that he was just goofing off out of character until he got to the podium. He wasn't expecting them to keep it, just something fun for him to do instead of walking. Favreau originally cut it from the film but added it back in because they loved it and it added something to the scene and his character.

The dancing in Charlie’s angels…. Holy crap so chilling as his whole demeanor changes .. so well done
-
There's something about Sam that's just incredibly likable. I always enjoy it when he turns up in movies. He's definitely one of those guys that you think should have a bigger career, and then you realise his career is pretty damn big regardless. He's just low-key.

How can anyone dislike this magnificent actor? He is such a delight
-
Sing like no one’s listening Love like you’ve never been hurt before Dance like Sam Rockwell in an otherwise entirely serious movie
-
I couldn't love Rockwell more if I tried. I first saw him all those years ago in Green Mile and Galaxy Quest - two massively different characters, both released in the same year. I knew he had 'it'. His dancing is the icing on the perfectly delicious cake!
-
I have loved him and his dancing for years!! Mr. Right is one of my favorite movies of all times!!
-
First time I recall being aware of him was because of his dance sequence in Charlie’s Angels. Brilliant choice as a way to instantly communicate to the audience that this nerdy, awkward guy is both the secret villain in total control and also his weakness of being too cocky.
-
Sam Rockwell is the guy you want to be at parties, the one cool guy who dances!
-
I love Sam Rockwell. It can be really hard for hardcore character actors like him to be able to give that personality and brand while also keeping each performance fresh and plot-useful, but he manages to ace it every time. Truly one of the most underrated actors from the last couple decades!
-
I hope he never stops dancing, he's so good at it. And he makes it look so fun.
-
That scene in Iron Man 2 where he dances onto the stage kills me everytime. He was so smooth and cocky and it fit the situation perfectly, being that his character was about to make a big reveal. I thought that entrance was scripted and choreographed, but now I see it's actually his trademark 😂
-
Charlie’s Angles has got to be it for me. It just was so tight with the narrative, and SHOCKING to my young mind. He and his dancing have stuck with me for decades because of that performance.
-
Love this guy. If you haven't seen "Mr. Right" then you don't know how to have fun.
-
He's a great actor, with insane range, and makes every movie he's in better. National treasure. Great dancer too!
-
The man is a natural dancer and just straight out legend, he has no choice but to dance as it's like a steam valve to ease the pressure on his storage tank of awesomeness that keeps overflowing.
-
Seriously one of my favorite actors. He oozes impossible charm, incredibly disarming, and at any moment he can do a turn into emotional, dramatic performances. Just brilliant.
-
I LOVE Sam Rockwell. It was his Charlie’s Angels role that first introduced me to him, which I thought he was phenomenal in, and every time I saw him in something else I was like omg Sam Rockwell! Good for you buddy nabbin another role like this! Such a well rounded guy. Seems super nice too.
-
That dance reveal in the Charlie's Angel movie was so incredible. I'll never forget it.
