That year was 2007. Between April and November, he gave some of the best performances of his career and pushed himself to the top of Hollywood. I mean, just look at the projects he was involved with that year:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Grindhouse (The \u201cPlanet Terror\u201d Segment) &#8211; April 4, 2007<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the Valley of Elah &#8211; September 14, 2007<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">American Gangster &#8211; November 2, 2007<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">No Country for Old Men &#8211; November 9, 2007<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We\u2019ve seen years like this before, but it\u2019s extremely rare to see an actor so far into his career go from supporting man to leading man in the space of like seven months. The work, and conscious effort, that he must have put in throughout 2005 and 2006 to get to this point would honestly be a moving premise of some great American novel or something.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Though <em>In The Valley of Elah<\/em> doesn\u2019t get talked about as much as the other three, and though he has a small part, it\u2019s impossible to overlook how much the release of that film (which was led by <em>No Country for Old Men<\/em> co-star Tommy Lee Jones) impacted his career. I must also point out that Brolin also appeared in the Coen Brothers\u2019 \u201cWorld Cinema\u201d short film that was part of the <em>To Each His Own Cinema<\/em> anthology film that was released in 2007.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Josh Brolin in No Country For Old Men\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/2GMnnbeEp0Zd8xxZZd7aJA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/74a07011c985c52e589ea2570b0af360\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: Miramax<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">All His Performances Were Great That Year, But No Country For Old Men Was On A Different Level<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It can be argued that <em>No Country for Old Men<\/em> is one of the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/movies-about-people-ending-up-in-the-wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:best movies about people ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">best movies about people ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time<\/a>, but it was the opposite for Brolin when he auditioned for the role of Llewelyn Moss in the Coen Brothers\u2019 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/every-best-picture-oscar-winner-160437339.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Best Picture Oscar winner;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Best Picture Oscar winner<\/a>. Each of his 2007 movies are great and all, but it\u2019s his performance as a Texan stumbling upon a satchel of cash from a drug deal gone wrong that we still talk about nearly 20 years later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I saw this movie in theaters either five or six times (both during its initial release and then when it was brought back ahead of the 2008 Oscars), and that number has grown exponentially since then. When I hear Brolin\u2019s name, this (and a story about him getting arrested in my hometown while filming <em>W<\/em>) comes to mind. A character with a heavy conscious, few words, and a quest to survive, there was something the resonated with audiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sure, people talk about Javier Bardem\u2019s Anton Chigurh more than Moss, but that was a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/times-the-villain-stole-the-show-in-a-movie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:once-in-a-generation villain performance;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">once-in-a-generation villain performance<\/a>.

One year after <em>No Country<\/em> rekindled his career, he played then-United States President George W. Bush in <em>W<\/em>, a movie that is much better than critics will make it out to be. Also in 2008, he portrayed San Francisco politician Dan White, Harvey Milk\u2019s assassin, in the Sean Penn-led biopic, <em>Milk<\/em>. That role would earn Brolin his first and only Oscar nomination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the years that followed, Brolin re-teamed with directors like Woody Allen, Oliver Stone, and the Coen Brothers, the latter of whom made the decorated and all-time great Western <em>True Grit<\/em>. However, Brolin would again reach a whole new level a few years later when he was cast as Thanos, the overarching villain of the MCU\u2019s \u201cInfinity Saga.\u201d Culminating in <em>Avengers: Infinity War<\/em> and <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em>, Brolin\u2019s portayal of the Mad Titan ushered in a new era of movie villains, much like his counterpart did in <em>No Country for Old Men<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck in Dune: Part Two\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/03PhJZykue.nrvgFhRIEDg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/f05add5de22de765e7ad2acfdacfe6c6\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: Warner Bros.
