45 Movie Stars on TV

McConaughey has always been a bonafide movie star. His memorably performances include roles in Dazed and Confused, A Time to Kill, Contact, Frailty, The Lincoln Lawyer and an Oscar win for Dallas Buyers Club. It's no surprise he was nominated for a Prime Time Emmy for True Detective as Rust Cohle.

Bacon is an icon. There are six degrees of separation from this man for good reason. Footloose, Mystic River, Apollo 13, My Dog Skip and The River Wild are all just drops in the bucket of his movie career. He started on soaps and made his way back to television on The Following.

True Detective called to Harrelson, but not before earning Oscar nominations for The People vs Larry Flynt and The Messenger, as well as starring in Zombieland, No Country for Old Men and more. He starred in White Men Can't Jump and Indecent Proposal while concurrently making his mark as Woody Boyd on Cheers, so in effect he's made a full circle.

Justified's Olyphant has had some interesting film roles. He was in Scream 2, No Vacancy, Rock Star (my favorite), Dreamcatcher, Live Free or Die Hard, Hitman and A Perfect Getaway.

The Red Band Society's Spencer won an Oscar for The Help and appeared in Being John Malkovich, Bad Santa, Seven Pounds and Fruitvale Station.

Kutcher has had a successful career on TV and in films such as Just Married, The Butterfly Effect, What Happens In Vegas and Dude, Where's my Car?!

This Fargo actor has won an Oscar for Best Screenplay for Sling Blade and he was nominated for his acting role in the film as well. He's also known for A Simple Plan, Armageddon, Monster's Ball and Bad Santa.

Buscemi has spent the last few years on Boardwalk Empire, but he's known for Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Fargo, Con Air and The Big Lebowski.

Currently starring in Gracepoint, Nolte is a three time Oscar nominee. He's known for North Dallas Forty, 48 Hours, Cape Fear, The Prince of Tides, The Thin Red Line and Warriors.
