MY worst actors
|
|
OK, clearly inspired by the other thread and I sha;; start this with Nicholas Cage who will almost certainly win this thread.
Other than Nic, I often wonder if I am alone in being amazed at the success of Martin Freeman?
Landed massively on his feet with his role in The Office. Seems to have done loads of major films since playing exactly the same role, (including when he was a Hobbit).
Anyone else find this puzzling?

Martin Freeman was good in The Office and am not sure it’s his acting but I just DONT LIKE HIM.
Just find him unbearably smug & sets my teeth on edge.
I also find Liam Neeson unwatchable. Like a big lump of wood with eyes.
Nicolas Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola which I always thought explained his career.

Idris Elba was excellent in The Wire
Everything else of his I’ve seen he has been a massive scenery chewing ham

AG! Nicholas Cage renders any film unwatchable.
I don't like Idris Elbas 'acting' either, very wooden.

Sven Roeder 8:18 - Actually, yes Elba in The Wire was amazing, nothing else since though.

Bad acting is fun to watch sometimes:
As I said on the other thread, Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds, Con Air and Face/Off for example is something you can just enjoy and laugh at.
Keanu Reeves would be another in anything he doesn't get to say "Whoa" in.
Tons of martial arts guys turned sort of actors
Ron Marcini
Chuck Norris
Bruce Lee's friend Leo Fong
Y.K. Kim of the Miami Connection
George Chung
(All these guys, except Kim, English is their first language, so no excuses there.)
Most anyone who has written, directed, funded, edited and starred in their own movie-
Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau for instance.
Hayden Christiansen and Jaden Smith - different kind of bad.

Ben Affleck, Jaden Smith, Keanu Reeves, Owen Wilson, Brendan Fraser, Steven Seagal, Hayden Christensen, The whole cast of American Pie, although it was funny. William Shatner, loved Start Trek though.
Cage wins though just for his performance in The Wicker Man. Why remake it?! Madness.

Can't watch anything the above are in.
Also can't understand the fuss around Gillian Anderson. She does the same schtick every role. Stares, bares teeth very slightly, speaks very slowly, remains expressionless. I think she thinks she's doing 'chilly and enigmatic'. I call it money for old rope.
