Chris' character is at first really psyched that his wife Amy Adams has a cooking project, but after a while he gets fed up with her obsession with Julia Child and leaves her for a short time. But when it's Meryl Streep, you're really not allowed to be sulky about being second-best.
Who can forget Chris as Claire's boss and first mature love on Six Feet Under? He enters her life at a key time of tragedy (I won't spoil it for anyone who has yet to watch the show), revealing that while the situation might seem like it couldn't work, he is a positive force in her life. When he pops up again in the ending montage, you won't be able to stop from crying.
There's no photo to be found of Chris' brief but memorable role in Towelhead, where he plays Jasira's mom's boyfriend. He's only in the beginning, when he creepily offers to shave Jasira's privates for her, and sets the movie's tone of predatory older men going after her and her getting blamed for leading them on.
Even though Julianne Nicholson doesn't formally interview Chris' character like the others in this movie, she does count him as Subject #19 for the scene where he tells her he should've asked her out when he had the chance because of how unbelievably smart she is.
With Chris as Rebecca Hall's reliable but unexciting fiancé, who can blame her for having an affair with Javier Bardem? He tries so hard to be spontaneous, but he's just no match.

I haven't seen Like Crazy and I don't want to spoil it for myself, but it looks like Felicity Jones turns to Chris when her relationship with Anton Yelchin is getting rocky, for stability and maturity.
All I remember of Chris' character Reese, the president of fictional network ACN, is him telling Will McAvoy what he can and can't do for ratings. But the recent reveal that he's also Jane Fonda's son has added some layers to his character and his struggle to keep ACN afloat.
Reviewers have said that Chris almost steals the show in this slightly supernatural movie, with his comedic timing and funny reactions to his brother's character coming to life.
Mindy Kaling specifically wrote this role for Chris, and he's been having a lot of fun playing a wisecracking possible love interest: "Danny is now more of a ball-buster. He's jaded. He's got a chip on his shoulder, but he's fun, like Bruce Willis in Moonlighting or Han Solo in Star Wars."
