He's 'The Righteous Gemstones' Comedy All Star, but Danny McBride Was Just as Effective at Drama in This Oscar-Nominated George Clooney Movie

Danny McBrideis one of the most unique comedic voices of his generation, and has transitioned from a valuable supporting player to a star in his own right. Although McBride has now led three very successful prestige HBO shows with Eastbound & Down, Vice Principals, and The Righteous Gemstones, he had already been doing standout work in hit comedies since the dawn of the 21st century. McBride has always shown bravery in his comedic range, as he has been willing to do anything and everything to elicit laughter from an audience. Despite being associated with some of the most influential works of comedy within the last few decades, McBride showed a rare dramatic side in the Oscar-nominated drama Up in the Air.
