Further to avalanchequeen’s thread, which actor do you think is vastly overated?

For me it’s Sean Bean, Clive Owen and RIcky Gervais; all of which are “the emperors new clothes” – just because someone says they’re good …doesn’t actually make them good!

Arnie. Like I said in the other thread perfect for playing a robot. Can’t Stand Tom cruise either.

nicholas cage = cardboard cutout

Ricky Gervais is fantastic, Cruise has played extremely well in loads of roles and have enjoyed all his films ( vanilla sky very weird tho )

Nick Cage OTH, i agree with.

Like Tom Hanks, de niro and morgan freeman. Travolta is quite good as well, and Tim robbins in Shawshank redemption was ace.

johnny depp is my fave of the present bunch.

Ah well Ricky is shit, BUT, he entertains so is exempt from being a ‘good’ actor.

IMHO

kiera knightley- dreadful in everything

Sean Bean? He’s just a standard B movie leading man isn’t he? Can’t see what’s objectionable there.

Leonardo Dicaprio is a good actor I guess, but way too short to be a leading man. You wouldn’t find pygmies like Dicaprio headlining films in the good old days of Holywood.

Tom Cruise is also a gnome, of course, but I don’t know anyone who rates him as an actor.

I do have delusions of being able to ‘act’, i haven’t been in anything for 25yrs (school play)..

How hard can it be??

I reckon i could be great though 😉

Cage, Cruise are the worst, Craig maybe as well. Cruise is dreadful though, I mean really. Only done 1 film where I didn’t want to kill him.

Bean and Owen may not be great actors but have great presence.

Gervais is a rubbish actor but plays himself very well.

Ricky Gervais is about as entertaining as sniffy dog shit.

Ashton Kutcher

Nuff said.

Sam Worthington (Avatar, Clash of the Titans, Terminator: Salvation): To steal a line from Dennis Pennis, when referring to Hugh Grant, “I thought someone had thrown a wooden chair onto the stage”.

How this guy became a professional actor I really don’t know.

David Caruso is is pretty horrible to watch.

Tom Hanks.

John Travolta, absolutely pitiful!

So many actresses annoy me I couldn’t list them all.

No votes for Keanu? 😕 his late brother was awful too even before his unfortunate horse riding accident 😉

David Caruso is is pretty horrible to watch.

+1. He ruins CSI: Miami for me. And that blonde bint is no better.

Mark wahlberg

Steven Seagull , Matt Damon, Jason Statham to name a few.

And that blonde bint is no better.

Do you mean the one with the sexy southern drawl? Who cares about acting, I could listen to that all day long.

cage and cruise are awful. Nobody does perplexed mongo quite like walberg. Pretty much any “big” hollywood star these days is an awful actor with very few exceptions

Leonardo Dicaprio is a good actor I guess, but way too short to be a leading man. You wouldn’t find pygmies like Dicaprio headlining films in the good old days of Holywood.

He is 6ft, hardly a pygmie

David Caruso is is pretty horrible to watch.

+1. He ruins CSI: Miami for me.

Yes, he does…………………………… Doesn’t……….he?

Shouldn’t this be titled the who could be considered a worse actor than Nicholas Cage thread?

harrison ford, as indiana jones/han solo hes a god anything else hes

Even in Blade Runner?

Cruise isn’t an actor, he’s a film star. Most of his films are just vehicles to make him look good.

Nic Cage just makes loads of rubbish films.

Keanu Reeves.
The entire cast of holby city.

Jean Claude van dam, arnie, Steven seagull, Jason statham etc etc. Basically, anyone who appears in the Sunday night action packed thrillers where they’re out to avenge the death of brother/mother/partner/daughter/wife senario.

I agree with Emma. Speshly Statham. He is truly terrible.

See, we have so much in common, love….

Is this paper bag wet or dry ? ………I think it’s important to know before deciding

Tom Hanks.

Definitely! For me he ruins every film he’s in. Soo overrated.

Worst for me are the overactors:
Think Al Pacino in Devil’s Advocate, Nicolas Cage, John Malcovic, Alan Rickman etc. Stick to the stage Luvvies!

David Caruso is is pretty horrible to watch.
+1. He ruins CSI: Miami for me. And that blonde bint is no better.

You may think you’re smart elfin……

But I will hunt you dowwwn!

He couldn’t hunt me down. He’d be too busy taking his glasses on and off.

Keanu Reaves in Dracula – Comedy gold.

Sorry, all those mentioned pale into insignificance in the shadow of the most wooden actor alive…

Jeff Goldblum.

The contrast between him and the fabulous Vincent D’Onofrio in ‘Criminal Intent’ is just mindblowing. How the producers let the Goldblum stump anywhere near the show is mindboggling.

I have just thrown out some undefined rotting mass from the back of my fridge that had a more endearing character and captivating personality than poor old Jeff. He kinda suited ‘The Fly’ as his facial expression (or lack thereof) and delivery is close to that of a diptera.

Nicolas Cage (ruins pretty much every film he’s in apart from Kick Ass), Clive Owen, Sean Connery.

David Caruso’s ace, he’s like a modern day Shatner. I guess you could say he’s…

*puts on sunglasses*

…out of this world

YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

other than those mentioned,
Gerard Butler
Christopher Walken
Clint Eastwood
Quentin Tarantino
Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)
there’s loads, too many to mention
oh and that bunch of US comedy actors, who to be fair suffer because of the films they’re in…
Vince Vaughn
Owen Wilson
Paul Rudd
Jack Black
Ben Stiller
Luke Wilson
Steve Carell

Clint!!!??

Owen Wilson, just a pouting prancing pony, hopeless!

Christopher Walken!?
Clint?!
Come on!!!!

oh piss off, you can’t say Al Pachino can’t act his way out of a paper bag. HeLLOOOOO!

aHUUUMM HELLOOOO?!!
