Bad Actors

[PhilK66]

Ray Winstone anyone? Diamond geezer as Henry VIII FFS!

William Shatner (always outshone by Nimoy in Star Trek)

Apart from the leads virtually every supporting actor in spaghetti westerns BUT, somehow, that adds to the enjoyment.

As actor covers all genders these days how about Keira (Twice) Knightley? A whole career built on a pout.

You mean the old
Ellow da mon .

I love all that, particularly the German caricatures.
For you Tommy, ze war iz over

"War"?
Vat ist this "war"? Donnerwetter, ein Pritischer!

My favorite,
So Meester Pond...
Bond. Dammit. It's Bond.
Quite so Meester Pond.

Nicholas cage is just awful.
He is so wooden that he uses creosote as moisturizer.

Olivia Colman - controversial!

She has an Oscar so I must be wrong ........ I can never see the character, only Olivia Colman playing the character.

 

[Jerryattrick]

Matt Damon somehow makes a good job of every role that he takes.

Agree entirely. The Favourite was an abomination of a movie.

Evidently Russia is a bad actor lol.

I saw Mel Gibson in a Australian film called Tim, he played the part of a young man who was mentally challenged, he played the part very, very well.
It was only after that I realized it was just type casting, sorry that's a joke.

Yes. Dreadful.

Gerard Butler also wooden imo.

Gene Hackman ace.

Any American actor attempting a British accent, Don Cheadle in Ocean's eleven and the bloke who plays Daphne's brother in Frasier for example.

My wife is a great film buff and fully agrees.But the fact is it is not really the actors fault if they are miss cast.Few actors can play any role.

Does anyone else find non specialist actors ofetn stick out like a sore thumb. Peter Ustinov and Stephen Fry have both amused in light comedy and have a host of skills but serious acting was not in either of their lockers. Any half way serious film and those two stick out like a sore thumb, utterly unconvincing and unable to transcend their famous, real life personas. I am sure there are many other examples.

Matrix?

Never seen it and have no intention of doing so. I really cannot stand watching him

I thought the same for years.

My son kept telling me I would appreciate it and had to eat humble pie. Its one of the best films ever made (only the first one though).

 

[Vodapadi Beef Sache]

Keanu Reeves was excellent in John Wick films.........

Pete Beale ..... good call..... he was bloody awful....

 

[SE1_Gills]

What about Pete Beale in very early Eastenders?
Awight Tweacle?

I don't wish to be typecast

She was good in Peep Show but beyond that a bit jarring

Spunked all his money on a castle near Bath

Yes. Brian Blessed. Omg. In fairness he now seems to be into self parody.
