This week on I Know That Face Andrew and Stephen tackle the long, unique career of Jennifer Jason Leigh. An Oscar and Golden Globe nominee for her role as Daisy Domergue in Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, Leigh's career spans four decades. She broke out as the Hollywood It Girl in Fast Times at Ridgemont High before rejecting the bright but short career of a Tinsel Town starlet in favour of stranger, meatier roles in smaller films like Paul Verhoeven's Flesh + Blood and opposite Rutger Hauer's iconic villain in The Hitcher. Roles in Single White Female, David Cronenberg's eXistenZ and recently Good Time made her a genre heavyweight. She explored more sympathetic characters in higher brow films like The Hudsucker Proxy, Anomalisa, Annihilation while maintaining a career in TV and occasionally on stage.

This week's episode of I Know That Face lands with a high-flying kick as Stephen and Andrew talk all about the extremely versatile Michelle Yeoh. The Malaysian actress' proficiency in martial arts, stunt work, languages and acting have placed her in high demand throughout her entire career. Her best known work came in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies and Ang Lee's romantic wuxia movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Throughout her career Yeoh has matched Jackie Chan blow-for-blow in Police Story 3: Supercop, radiated icy glamour in Crazy Rich Asians and grew plants in order to save the sun in Sunshine. All of these and more are discussed.

This week Andrew and Stephen are joined by YouTube soft drinks reviewer and Mystery Men enthusiast Saul Delmore Philbin Bowman to discuss a living legend in the character actor world: William H. Macy. Known best for his work in the 1990s as Jerry Lundegaard in Fargo, Little Bill in Boogie Nights and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith in Magnolia, Macy has been working since the early 70s in theatre, film and TV. Discussed in this episode are his roles in the pre-Marvel superhero team-up Mystery Men, the Las Vegas crime-drama The Cooler and his barely there appearances in Air Force One and as the best buddy to Mel Gibson in Blood Father. Throughout his career Macy has put his sad sack persona to great effect wringing both tears and laughter from audiences and moustache aficionados alike.

Following up on their episode on South Korean cinema, hosts Stephen and Andrew dive into the career of South Korean everyman Song Kang-ho - widely loved in his home nation and abroad for performances in the films of several masters such as Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook and Lee Chang-dong. Emerging first in thrillers Shiri and Joint Security Area, Song secured his place as the hot dad of South Korean cinema in the likes of Symapthy for Mr Vengeance and The Host before coming to global attention in Snowpiercer and this year's Oscar winner Parasite. Song Kang-ho's expressive face and ability to slip from lighter-than-air comedy and pitch black darkness - sometimes within a single scene - has kept him in demand for nearly a quarter century.

South Korean cinema has been having a moment and that moment has been going on since the late 90s. In advance of next week's episode on the country's most popular character actor Song Kang-ho (Parasite, The Host, Secret Sunshine), Stephen and Andrew are here with a bonus episode. South Korea is home to some of the most thrilling, intelligent and emotional films of the last 20 years. The likes of Oldboy (pictured); The Good, the Bad, the Weird; Burning; and this year's Best Picture Oscar winner Parasite are all great examples of this. Although the vast majority of Korean movies released in the west are under seen Parasite and the guys of I Know That Face are trying to change that.

This week the I Know That Face boys are talking about character actor extraordinaire Judy Greer. From sarcastic best friends to well-meaning moms to sex-crazed nymphos Greer has done it all and more. Up for discussion are her one scene roles in Three Kings and Adaptation, her wonderfully cathartic supporting turns in Grandma and The Descendants and her almost lead performances in Addicted to Fresno and Halloween. In a varied career spanning over 20 years and hundreds of roles in film and TV Judy Greer has become one of the most consistent character actors working today.

This week Andrew and Stephen are joined by fellow HeadStuff contributor and film blogger Sean Moriarty to talk about the Kiwi King of the Nerds: Karl Urban. An actor with supporting roles in some of the biggest blockbusters of the millennium so far and leading roles in some of the biggest flops of the millennium so far, Urban has managed to keep working with the most talented people in the business while also carving out a niche for himself in pop-culture juggernauts like The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek and Thor: Ragnarok. Join the boys as they about talk the strange career of a man who radiates but can't seem to harness his Big Leading Man Energy.
