- 'Fargo' (1996) Macy’s lone Oscar nomination came in the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance in the 1996 dark comedy classic Fargo. Macy appears as Jerry Lundegaard, the selfish husband who arranges his wife’s staged kidnapping to score some extra cash.
- 'The Cooler' (2003) While he’s often cast in supporting roles, Macy did get the chance to play a lead character in the underrated 2003 gambling thriller The Cooler.
- 'Magnolia' (1999) Magnolia is perhaps the most ambitious film of Paul Thomas Anderson’s career, which given his remarkable filmography, is no small statement.
- 'Seabiscuit' (2003) Seabiscuit is a good, old-fashioned inspirational racing story that follows the small-town boy Red Pollard (Tobey Maguire) and his trainer Tom Smith (Chris Cooper) as they prepare to lead the titular horse to victory in a major Thoroughbred horse race amid the American economic depression of the 1930s.
- ER (1994 to 2009) Twenty-seven years before Shameless, Macy's initial major foray into television helped set the table for Frank Gallagher. Beginning with the powerhouse medical drama's pilot, the actor appeared in 31 episodes as County General's chief of surgery, Dr. David Morgenstern.
- Fargo (1996) Macy wasn't initially seen as a fit for sad sack Jerry Lundegaard, but the actor wouldn't take no for an answer. "I thought Jerry was a great role for me, even though Joel and Ethan [Coen] had described him differently than me," says Macy, who was Oscar-nominated for his performance.
- Boogie Nights (1997) In Paul Thomas Anderson's breakout drama, Macy plays pornographer Little Bill, and the actor credits the filmmaker's acumen for putting together a cast, noting that many of the stars reunited for Anderson's next project, Magnolia.
- State and Main (2000) The first thing that comes to mind for Macy when reflecting on this satirical comedy about a troubled film production is his director, "American treasure," David Mamet, with whom the actor started a theater company.
