There is a select club of directors who have such star power and appeal that actors will bend over backward to work with them — even if that means taking on the most minor of roles. Directors like Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg always seem to have their pick of the crop for whatever their newest project is when it comes to actors. Look no further than Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer for such a stacked cast full of actors who simply wanted to work with the most lauded director of recent memory. It is easy enough to see why, as well. Actors will naturally want to work with a director because they respect their storytelling ability, skill, or broad crowd appeal, or simply because they know that working with such directors will trampoline them to fame, awards, or stardom.
