When news emerged at San Diego Comic-Con last summer about a secret crossover planned for Abbott Elementary‘s fourth season, my colleagues and I at TopMob convened in our press shooting room to speculate potential matches. Immediately, one series sprang to mind… however, it seemed almost impossible. As the title suggests, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia shares the same city as the school-focused network show and both shows are produced by the same parent company (ABC and FXX belong to The Walt Disney Company). Yet, they have vastly different comedic styles and tones.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to find myself among Hollywood’s brightest stars, thanks to my roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus. As I embark on numerous film projects slated for 2024 and collaborate with various brands (including a unique partnership where I promote products from the comfort of a bathtub), I feel it’s important to address some speculation about my personal life. My fiancé, Jonathan Davino, remains an integral part of my life, standing by me through this whirlwind journey as we navigate our future together.

Following Jason Statham’s striking first screen appearance in Guy Ritchie’s 1998 black comedy crime film “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” and his subsequent role in Ritchie’s 2000 crime film “Snatch,” the actor gained significant recognition with his starring role as the enigmatic criminal courier driver Frank Martin in the 2002 action film “The Transporter.” This role solidified Statham’s reputation for portraying characters that exude an innate aura of danger and intrigue.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Frank Grillo played Brock Rumlow, or Crossbones, but his future roles in the new DC Universe franchise as Rick Flag Sr. promise a more expansive part for him. Initially, Grillo will lend his voice to the character in the upcoming animated series “Creature Commandos,” set to premiere for Max subscribers in December. This will be followed by his live-action portrayal of Flag in James Gunn’s upcoming “Superman” film and “Peacemaker” Season 2. Gunn, who jointly runs DC Studios with Peter Safran, elaborated on the significance of Flag during the early phase of the DC Universe.

Today, we’ll delve into the brief but impactful performances that leave an indelible mark, even when they only appear in one scene. These actors are the “one-scene sensations” who can captivate an audience and steal the show with just a moment on screen. Let’s explore their impressive repertoire.
