His brilliant role as a depressed author and wine aficionado in the film Sideways (see the trailer), nearly brought down the Merlot industry in California—because his character despised the red, preferring Pinot Noir.
He’s also known for his work in The Illusionist, Straight Outta Compton, American Splendor, Too Big To Fail, Downton Abbey, 12 Years a Slave—and for playing the U.S. president in John Adams, which earned him a Golden Globe Award, a Primetime Emmy Award and Screen Actors Guild Award. Since 2016—or maybe the coronavirus—you may know him from the TV series, Billions

Pig vomit!
8hourgamer
He came into my life as Pig Vomit in Howard Stern's movie Private Parts
NothingButGravy
And John Dies at the End!
joshsam
I said that too
Brunson80
He is fucking fantastic in Billions
TheDogEnd
Paul Giamatti is one of my favourite, most versatile actors working today. They always put him in these supporting roles & he just kills it!
thehungryguy
seen ironclad? he plays the evil king and fuckin kills the role
Nathanyel
And he fondled a dead woman's breasts in Shoot 'Em Up

No recognition for planet of the apes.
FreshNews247
Good one haha....
HeadJamistan
Pig vomit.
orngenblak
He played Dr. Landy in "Love and Mercy" too! It is a movie about Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. It is also very good!

Came here for this Pig Virus
ExoCyberBit
? Paul Giamatti, he's a disney princess?
KennyFromTheBlock
He's the voice of the detective in the new Netflix murder doc, The Son of Sam
paulio101
He did a good job in Lady In The Water. Very unusual movie.
FlyYouFLCL
I liked it. It was very preachy, but everything else was fantastic.
YesWeCan
I really enjoyed that movie
jarrettbrown
I say he would have been a really good Michael Scott in The Office.
HunterAlThompson
Excuse me nobody mentions "Barneys Version"? I am deeply disapointed!
lupinic
Came here to say this. Literally had a 2 minute hug with the friend I watched it with, post credits. That movie was an emotional gut punch.
malibu45
Cold souls is my favorite of his roles.
kitenkatt
Searched the comments because I forgot the name. Thanks homie

Where's my fucking money, Jerry?
Megamastermetamememaker
I'm not drinking any fucking Merlot !!
jollyjack
I want his character from The Illusionist to have a stand alone film. He played the Inspector Uhl BRILLIANTLY.
Mokisan
Absolutely. He sold that movie. How weird to remember him as the star of a movie that featured Edward Norton?
Bassetallsnorts
Sideways is one of my favourite films
ThatGuyisadinosaur
Billions on showtime
aleardie
The episode of him trying to pawn off that ‘park anywhere’ city pass was just *chef’s kiss*
misslazrathe
That’s what I was gonna say! So good!
Darkklown14
Him and Damian Lewis make it so great..
HeyAlexaInsertUsername
Thank you, what a great show
smilefromaveil
His dad was the late A. Bartlett Giamatti, the former baseball commissioner.
Metallica93
Him in 'Big Fat Liar' is at least 5% of my childhood. That movie is fucking ridiculous.
ScubaGirlTX
One of the rare movies my kids watched a million times that didn’t bore me to tears! It’s great!!
Metallica93
So much fun. And an early introduction to Duran Duran? Hell, yeah.
ScubaGirlTX
Actually took my daughter to a Duran Duran concert too because of this movie!
BaconandMegs3000
They told me to pick up a little blue car, they didn't say anything about a little blue man!

"Eat my boogers, blue boy!"

Dude! I loaned a copy from the video shop and it killed my DvD player! Because I had to smash it open to get the DVD out of the player.
zaandari11
Similar thing with an old vhs player and Disney Robin Hood happened to me
FreshNews247
Oh yeah lost alot of great VHS by having the film Tape get caught in the player. How I lost my copy of Pokemon vol 1 VHS....
BlueCat1
I know him from The Illusionist. An excellent movie IF you skip the sex scene. Apparently there’s an exposition dump in there that 1/
BlueCat1
explains everything that happens in the second half of the movie and the whole thing is just a lot better if the audience is as confused 2/
BlueCat1
as the inspector who is the POV character. There’s a realization moment at the end that goes back through the movie and puts the pieces 3/
BlueCat1
together and that’s really all that’s needed. Someone really dropped the ball with that. 4/4
ThePastmaster
I don't remember a sex scene and I've seen it four times. o_O
BlueCat1
It’s about halfway thru when male and female leads meet at a cottage in the woods. It’s more a suggestion of sex had than anything else.
FreshNews247
Great movie but I prefer The Prestige
jizanthipussss
So weird how similar they are, but yeah Prestige always wins
hipposinthemist
His portrayal of John Adams was really good
SkycladNightStroller
His best, it turned me sideways
GrandPubabofMoldistan
That time of year is coming up again

thereitis101
That was such a great show. Loved it.
thehungryguy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkU9CqUmf0A ironclad, he plays the evil king
CWrightPills
Maybe his best performance IMO, and relatable whether or not you’re into history
tattoofreakshow
I usually binge watch that once a year.
spwm1984
Seriously, his Emmy winning role leftnout. Effing criminal.
Arcian
The intro theme to that show is one of the best ever made.
RobertVandal
Came to the comments for this.
theBonyEaredAssfish
(1/2) David McCullough, who wrote the source material, spoke at my uni. He said the whole time, Giamatti never flubbed a single line.
theBonyEaredAssfish
(2/2) (Even with multiple takes). McCullough said he'd never again doubt how sedulous actors are.
fightfightfightlosewinfight
did he use the word sedulous?
NgeruiscatinMaori
You missed Shoot Em Up

Nice knockers!

My bad. Great film too massive Julian Richings fan.
Cantandwont
Loved watching him chew the scenery in that one!
incubisexual
Was gonna say! Watching him yell was amazing. I love villains losing their shit over events
HopelessNecr0mantic
Not to mention his big break, the Howard stern movie, private parts.
dossor90
The mother fucking anti Christ
zombiebatman
Also he was Beast in the original X-Men movie, as seen above
m4dm4n
What. Oh, goddamnit.
supervillainsevilmoustache
His father being former President of Yale then Commissioner of Major League Baseball might have opened a few doors.
chipsconqueso
