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
-
Sing like no one’s listening Love like you’ve never been hurt before Dance like Sam Rockwell in an otherwise entirely serious movie
-
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
-
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.

I have loved him and his dancing for years!! Mr. Right is one of my favorite movies of all times!!
-
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!
-
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!
-
He's a great actor, with insane range, and makes every movie he's in better. National treasure. Great dancer too!
-
I hope he never stops dancing, he's so good at it. And he makes it look so fun.
-
That dance reveal in the Charlie's Angel movie was so incredible. I'll never forget it.
-
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.

I was a professional dancer for almost 20 years. Fosse was my biggest influence as a dancer and choreographer. When I heard they were doing Fosse/Vernon, I worried that they wouldn't be able to find an actor who could play Bob properly. Once I knew it was going to be Sam Rockwell, I KNEW it was going to be great! And it was, and so was he! But Michelle Williams became Gwen Verdon. I'm still in awe of that performance. Anyway, great video!

“It’s getting a little repetitive so I’ll have to learn some new moves”. What a cold line.
-
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.
-
Love this guy. If you haven't seen "Mr. Right" then you don't know how to have fun.
-
Sam Rockwell is one of my favorite actors, and so so underrated.
-
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.
