Stanley Tucci has been a working actor for nearly 40 years, and stans of the beloved star are uniting to praise his talented range as a performer. Tucci made his film debut in the 1985 movie Prizzi’s Honor, a dark comedy-crime film that starred Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner.

“Fun fact: [Tucci] said he’d only take The Lovely Bones role if they made him unrecognizable since he didn’t want to be associated with that creep,” one fan wrote of Tucci. “Related: Mark Wahlberg got that role last minute. Peter Jackson fired Ryan Gosling for his decision to gain 60 lbs for the character lol.”

Julie and Julia is an imperfect movie, but Tucci and Streep give one of the best depictions of a marriage (as opposed to falling in love) on film.
