His brilliant role as a depressed author and wine aficionado in the film Sideways (see the trailer), nearly brought down the Merlot industry in California—because his character despised the red, preferring Pinot Noir.
He’s also known for his work in The Illusionist, Straight Outta Compton, American Splendor, Too Big To Fail, Downton Abbey, 12 Years a Slave—and for playing the U.S. president in John Adams, which earned him a Golden Globe Award, a Primetime Emmy Award and Screen Actors Guild Award. Since 2016—or maybe the coronavirus—you may know him from the TV series, Billions

His father was also A. Bartlett Giamatti, former commissioner of baseball (died in office) and responsible for banning Pete Rose for life.

You missed Payckeck

Pig vomit.

Paul Giamatti is one of my favourite, most versatile actors working today. They always put him in these supporting roles & he just kills it!
thehungryguy
seen ironclad? he plays the evil king and fuckin kills the role
8hourgamer
He came into my life as Pig Vomit in Howard Stern's movie Private Parts
Megamastermetamememaker
I'm not drinking any fucking Merlot !!
smilefromaveil
His dad was the late A. Bartlett Giamatti, the former baseball commissioner.
KennyFromTheBlock
He's the voice of the detective in the new Netflix murder doc, The Son of Sam
Nathanyel
And he fondled a dead woman's breasts in Shoot 'Em Up
ThisIsReallyHowILook
Pig vomit!
paulio101
He did a good job in Lady In The Water. Very unusual movie.
FlyYouFLCL
I liked it. It was very preachy, but everything else was fantastic.
YesWeCan
I really enjoyed that movie
JakSandrow
I know people hated on the Rhino suit in Amazing Spider-Man 2, but I honestly preferred it to the alternative - a skintight suit with a horn
FiliShade
Don't forget his best role, in John dies at the end, as the reporter.
Brunson80
He is fucking fantastic in Billions
orngenblak
He played Dr. Landy in "Love and Mercy" too! It is a movie about Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. It is also very good!
NothingButGravy
And John Dies at the End!

Billions on showtime
HeyAlexaInsertUsername
Thank you, what a great show
aleardie
The episode of him trying to pawn off that ‘park anywhere’ city pass was just *chef’s kiss*
misslazrathe
That’s what I was gonna say! So good!
Darkklown14
Him and Damian Lewis make it so great..
Bassetallsnorts
Sideways is one of my favourite films
HunterAlThompson
Excuse me nobody mentions "Barneys Version"? I am deeply disapointed!
lupinic
Came here to say this. Literally had a 2 minute hug with the friend I watched it with, post credits. That movie was an emotional gut punch.
HopelessNecr0mantic
Not to mention his big break, the Howard stern movie, private parts.
supervillainsevilmoustache
His father being former President of Yale then Commissioner of Major League Baseball might have opened a few doors.
dossor90
The mother fucking anti Christ

CWrightPills
Maybe his best performance IMO, and relatable whether or not you’re into history
SkycladNightStroller
His best, it turned me sideways
thereitis101
That was such a great show. Loved it.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
That time of year is coming up again
Arcian
The intro theme to that show is one of the best ever made.
RobertVandal
Came to the comments for this.
tattoofreakshow
I usually binge watch that once a year.
theBonyEaredAssfish
(1/2) David McCullough, who wrote the source material, spoke at my uni. He said the whole time, Giamatti never flubbed a single line.
theBonyEaredAssfish
(2/2) (Even with multiple takes). McCullough said he'd never again doubt how sedulous actors are.
fightfightfightlosewinfight
did he use the word sedulous?
spwm1984
Seriously, his Emmy winning role leftnout. Effing criminal.
jollyjack
I want his character from The Illusionist to have a stand alone film. He played the Inspector Uhl BRILLIANTLY.
Mokisan
Absolutely. He sold that movie. How weird to remember him as the star of a movie that featured Edward Norton?
malibu45
Cold souls is my favorite of his roles.
kitenkatt
Searched the comments because I forgot the name. Thanks homie
NgeruiscatinMaori
You missed Shoot Em Up

incubisexual
Was gonna say! Watching him yell was amazing. I love villains losing their shit over events

Also saving private Ryan !
Metallica93
Him in 'Big Fat Liar' is at least 5% of my childhood. That movie is fucking ridiculous.
ScubaGirlTX
One of the rare movies my kids watched a million times that didn’t bore me to tears! It’s great!!
Metallica93
So much fun. And an early introduction to Duran Duran? Hell, yeah.
ScubaGirlTX
Actually took my daughter to a Duran Duran concert too because of this movie!

Dude! I loaned a copy from the video shop and it killed my DvD player! Because I had to smash it open to get the DVD out of the player.
zaandari11
Similar thing with an old vhs player and Disney Robin Hood happened to me
FreshNews247
Oh yeah lost alot of great VHS by having the film Tape get caught in the player. How I lost my copy of Pokemon vol 1 VHS....

They told me to pick up a little blue car, they didn't say anything about a little blue man!
