8. James Liddle in Grand Theft Parsons (2003)

In Grand Theft Parsons, Macht plays the story of James Liddle, an obsessive roadie who embarks on a totally offbeat escapade to try to steal his dead friend Gram Parsons' corpse, a legendary country rock star. The quirky comedy-drama is an effective vehicle for displaying Macht's ability to invest humor and pathos into truly eccentric storytelling; his performance shines with a fervor that blends the surreal twists of the storyline with deep feelings. Liddle's journey is more than the physical one: Macht sketches a man fighting loyalty, loss, and complexities in friendship.
