Christopher Meloni is an actor with piercing blue eyes and a masculine appeal that never fails to turn heads. He has appeared in numerous successful television series and played smaller roles in films. While he is an exceptional supporting actor, he also has the ability to take center stage on the screen and command the full attention of viewers. Meloni’s charisma shines through, whether he’s playing a sociopath or a nice guy. Here are the top five movie roles of his career in which Chris Meloni truly shined.
Brock Connors in “White Bird in a Blizzard” (2014)
Christopher Meloni delivers a brilliant performance as Brock Connors in “White Bird in a Blizzard.” The character is wonderfully complex, and Meloni masterfully presents him in a believable fashion. Brock is in an undesirable place in life, but he tries to rationalize his torn emotions and make the best of the situation he finds himself in.
Colonel Nathan Hardy in “Man of Steel” (2013)
In this role, Christopher Meloni portrays Colonel Nathan Hardy, an on-again, off-again federal government agent who disappears at the end of the film. It seems he’s a goner, but in the DC universe, he’s likely to return either by some twist of fate or as a clone.
Roger Simmons in “Snatched”
This adventure comedy features Chris Meloni co-starring with Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer. The two ladies come to Roger Simmons for help, and he is willing to assist by taking them to his boat, which seems like a safe enough place to hide out. Although Roger isn’t really what he seems to be, his offer to help is truly genuine.
Howard in “Almost Friends”
Chris Meloni truly shines in his role as Howard, the absent father of the main character of the show. Howard spells trouble for everyone else in the movie. He’s a gambler and a dyed-in-the-wool liar who manages to wriggle his way back into his ex-wife’s house. He’s charismatic and highly manipulative, and Meloni brings the character to life brilliantly.
Dennis in “I Am Wrath”
When Vivian Hill is murdered by a group of highly connected criminals, her husband, played by John Travolta, is faced with a decision. He must either kill everyone involved in the conspiracy or run for his life. His friend Dennis, played by Christopher Meloni, helps him track down the murderous villains and kill them all. Meloni delivers an outstanding performance as the supporting actor for Travolta’s lead role in this action and suspense drama. Surprisingly, there is a good infusion of humor in selected scenes, which helps to break up the action nicely.
