Steven Seagal, can only play one character really
Chuck Norris. Nick Cage, same as Steven Seagal Muchauly Culkin (sp?) Hayden Christensen sucked epically as Anakin Skywalker Ahnold can't act to save his life.

How do you even quantify this topic. Current actors, all actors, movie actors, tv actors my god. You could easily list hundreds as bad actors not to mention bad single performances.

Agreed, but honestly you get whats advertised when you watch a Seagal movie, when I paid good money for my daughter and I to watch that first Anakin Skywalker (as a teenager) movie .......I figured that I'd be seeing a class action lawsuit against Lucas films LOL...what a stinker.

I thought Nic Cage was good in "Lord of War"
Hayden Christensen--crap, same with Natalie Portman from the SW "prequels", just terrible. Shai LeBouf terrible On the flip side I always liked Tom Sizemore as an actor--(Heat, Saving Private Ryan, Point Break, even Striking Distance) he really blew his talent.

Ok - my list:
Nic Cage - espcially in Con Air. <-- that was a terrible movie. Owen Wilson - wish he'd get over himself. Ben Stiller annoys the crap outta me. Will Ferrel - If I were in grade school, I guess I'd appreciate his comedic value. Jack Black - I suspect if he weren't high on drugs all the time, maybe then -- nah - nevermind... Eddie Murphy -- you can only take the Beverly Hills Cop persona so far... Some comments on some other actors mentioned: Keanu Reeves: He was actually very good in Point Break - one of my favorite movies. But Patrick Swayze really carried that moive. He was decent in the first Matrix -- but his persona really fits that "Whoa - I'm Alice in Wonderland" theme. ![]() I think Dracula was a great movie - but Coppa did such a fantastic job with the imagery and there were some fantastic actors in the movie (Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins), that they somehow managed to overshadow Keanu's lack of acting ability. Steven Seagal - may not be the best actor, but at least he studied the martial arts. IIRC, he has a black bet. (Not like Van Damme...) -Z-man.

Hands down absolute WORST...
GLEN CAMPBELL in the original 'True Grit' with The Duke... Un-effing-believably horrible, terrible... I just re-watched it after seeing the new one. NO ONE IS WORSE THAN GLEN CAMPBELL, anywhere, anytime. There. |

Stiller..talentless, Mommy & Daddy got him in the biz Wilson Owen...sacrine sweet...YECH Will Ferell..Insipidly Inane except when he does GW Cage..What does anybody see in him. Eddie Murphy..limited range Jim Carey...thinks he is funny Brendan Fraiser..cute little boy Dane Cook..WHO? Sylvester Stallone..He was punched in the head one too many times.

I kinda liked Keanu in the Matrix movies...
Jim Carey & Eddie Murphy... Famous for acting like themselves... I don't blame them, if someone wanted to pay me millions to not act I would take it. Stiller & Ferell... filling the great comedy void of the 90's with SNL mediocrity.

Most of his movies suck (well, actually all of them except one). The biofilm JCVD is proof that he does know how to act. Last edited by Geronimo '74; 08-04-2011 at 09:19 AM.. |

David Caruso - One Look Pony. Big head that didn't get him many movies when he left his first series as he was too talented for television.

John Wayne could act normal when actors didn't do that. They were all trying to "act." This would be the case for Steve McQueen as well. He couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, but by being normal on the screen and exuding uber
![]() There are very few excellent actors IMHO. Lots of good characters, but they couldn't change over to another totally different character like the greats can. Like Brian Dennehy. Can he be anything but an ultimate villain? ![]() Can David Spade do anything but be a fool? ![]() Can Sylvester Stallone do anything but sweat? |
