11 Actors That Totally Stole Movies From Their Co-Stars

  11 Actors That Totally Stole Movies From Their Co-Stars For the most part, everyone knows who a film's protagonist is; either they’re in the opening scene or the beginning ties heavily into their backstory, yadda yadda yadda.

After all, there are some pretty strange tales of Thor and the rest of the Aesir out there to peruse - and t...
