Is Kyle Chandler a “famous person?”


I just saw a photo of him with George Clooney, captioned, and it dawned on me that I never knew his name.

Even though I know the face well and have seen him in a bunch of movies, if anyone were to say to me “I saw that new Kyle Chandler movie” Id be stumped.

reply

I only know his name because I used to watch Early Edition. Never really watched him in anything else.

reply

Google search result says he’s only worth 9 million. That’s way less than I expected for someone who has worked 30 years in Hollywood.

reply

I wonder how he stacks up against Nathan Fillion?

reply

At least, I've heard Nathan Fillion name plenty of times. I don't even know who Kyle Chandler is.

reply

I binged the TV series Friday Night Lights where he was the lead character. Competent actor, good looking guy, seems nice enough.
I always forget that Fillion had that series Castle, so he may have a higher profile than Chandler but in the Hollywood pecking order, I thought they were in the same range.

reply

I have no clue how he's even made that much money. I didn't even know he was in Friday Night Lights until that show had almost ended.

Apparently he's been in a bunch of well-known movies as well, but I just never see him.🤷‍♀️

reply

Fair enough. I think he has quite a unique face with his squinty eyes so I tend to remember him being in a lot.

reply

Oh, I would definitely recognize him, I just never see the stuff that he's in. Or it's just not very memorable.

Although he's recognizable to me, I actually feel has a pretty typical "all-American" face.

reply

He looks part Asian with all that squinting .

reply

That's racist!

reply

Plus he has weird eyelid hang that creates of the effect of an Asian eyelid, that doesn't have a fold.

Asians actually have surgery to add the fold to give themselves a more western, and thus attractive, appearance.

reply

I've been a fan since 1991, so yeah he's pretty well known.

reply

Homefront? That's where I first saw him, at least.

reply

Yes. I've been a fan since the first scene he was in! Jeff is still my favorite role of Kyle's.

reply

Homefront? That's where I first encountered him. I liked that series and was disappointed when it was canceled.

Yes. I've been a fan since the first scene he was in! Jeff is still my favorite role of Kyle's

a lesser known character actor

I remember him from Homefront.

I almost thought this was going to be about Chandler Bing.
