Enthusiastic film aficionados flocked to the comments section to express their opinions. One viewer stated, “Moral of the story: Sam Rockwell is incredibly underrated.”
Another viewer agreed with the ranking, saying, “Totally agree with #12, it was really good,” while another added, “Moral of the story just watch anything Sam Rockwell does ever.”

Highlighting Rockwell’s strong presence, one admirer mentioned, “Impressive that Sam Rockwell is in the number 2 on this WatchMojo list; as well as the star of Moon and portraying Chuck Barris [the gameshow] host in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (one of the movies I may need to see for a 2nd time).”
Another user simply added, “Sam Rockwell is in like half of these”. These reactions underscore the enduring appreciation for Sam Rockwell’s talent and the undervalued status of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.
