Just because they did great at those roles does not mean they'll be great at every other role. These guys likely auditions and it was decided they were perfect for those roles which is why it resonates so much with you but does it mean that they are gonng to be good at every role available? No. Are these actors the TV equivalent of "bankable stars", I don't see any reason to think so.

Pretty sure Jon Hamm and Michael C Hall are "offer only" and have been for some time. They don't audition for anyone that isn't Scorsese.

I mean if you think they have that attitude hat could be partly why they aren't getting more roles.

The part about he audition in my post was about their old roles that they were praised for being in. They weren't really that sought after before that. It was about how they were likely good for the roles and exceled at it but to my overwall point just because they were great at that role doesn't mean there's a bunch of roles out there that make people go this guy would be perfect for this role.
