Movies with Danny Goldring

Danny Goldring is a versatile character actor whose range and depth of performance have made him a fixture in American cinema for over two decades. Whether playing hardened detectives, morally ambiguous authority figures, or everyday working-class men, Goldring brings a quiet intensity and nuance to his roles that elevate even the most supporting of parts. Goldring first gained widespread attention for his gritty, lived-in performance as Ryan Kavanaugh, a former homicide detective, in the Starz political drama series Boss, starring Kelsey Grammer. But his filmography is marked by an eclectic mix of genre work, from the futuristic sci-fi of Captive State to the backwoods gothic of Dig Two Graves. In dramatic films like Normal and Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, Goldring demonstrates his ability to find the humanity in complex, morally ambiguous characters. And he's equally at home in more comedic fare, as seen in his scene-stealing turns in Just Visiting and When Jeff Tried to Save the World. Across his diverse body of work, Goldring imbues each performance with a lived-in authenticity, never relying on stock types or easy shortcuts. He's the kind of actor who can ground even the most heightened material in a sense of real-world grit and pathos. Whether playing a hardened veteran or an ordinary everyman, Goldring's work is consistently compelling, making him one of the most reliably excellent character actors working in film today.
