For the better part of the past two decades, Josh Brolin has been one of the biggest actors on the planet. He’s played one of the most nuanced Marvel villains, been nominated for all kinds of awards, and appeared in one great movie after another. However, it wasn’t always that way. Sure, Brolin arrived on the scene hot with The Goonies back in the ‘80s, but he sort of bounced around for the next 20 years before it all changed with one of the busiest years of his, or anyone else’s, career.
In 2007, Brolin went from being a steady and reliable supporting actor to one of the top stars in Hollywood. From Planet Terror to American Gangster to No Country for Old Men (one of the best 2000s movies), the second-generation star was on a whole different level, and we’re still feeling it.
