He really never had it to be a good lead for films. His secondary roles have never been that good either.

I think Independence Day would count a s a good film.

Will Smith was the lead there really

Unfortunately the sequel was NOT a good film by any stretch of the imagination.

Zero Effect is a great movie.

Not the best movie but he was fun in Lake Placid. Also, Casper was good imo.

I never could get into that movie. Rick Moranis as Darth Vader? Come on!

Dark Helmet you mean.

The movie is utterly stupid and I haven't seen it in years, but I do remember liking Pullman in it.

Pullman is his best at those kind of characters. My favorite role of his is as an inept kidnapper in the film Ruthless People.

That's another good one.

I'm not sure if the TV Show "The Sinner" was out when you posted this, but he was the lead in all seasons of that and is very good. In fact, he's the only thing that makes the show any good.
