I got this idea from the book I will end up reading. I did skip ahead and one of the tips to appreciate fat, on the bottom of the page, is: "Rent movies with some cool fat actors." Here are four the author mentioned, plus four I thought of independently. They are listed with the entire list of films I've seen with them; I am a film buff, so they will all grow I'm sure.
Coincidentally, I'm planning to cast three of them in my big project, which I am determined to have be the first movie made entirely outside Los Angeles.
