    Keanu Reeves is aspergic, which explains his monotone voice and lack of facial expression…..

    Keira’s and Keanu’s offspring with Andie McDowell (is it raining, I hadn’t noticed) as the GodMother.

    Mathew Mahogany – not a fan of his acting but diffcult to dislake as he seems such a nice guy
    Did anyone see the prequal to Carlitos Way (carlitos Way, Rise to Power), worst acting ever?

    surely no one can beat this bulb end of being wooden

    I can never tell Tom Cruise and Demi Moore apart. Identical contribution to the world of acting – the meaningful cheek bulge combined with wide-eyed stare. The old adage, where there’s muck there’s brass needs to be modernised with, where there’s wood….. (unlike Life of Pi, that is not meant to be interpreted in different ways 😉 )

    Keira Knightly, great to look at but terrible to watch.

    Yes Mr Potatohead. I prefer to think of her as ‘Ikea Knightley’ too.

    (Actually Marky Mark was just about ok in The Fighters)

    Ted, too.

    Nicholas Cage. Luckiest man in showbiz.

    But, yes, Hayden Christensen. Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful actor.

    The trouble with really wooden actors is when they appear alongside someone who can actually act it just all goes completely pear shaped.

    So Keanu Reeves opposite absolutely everyone else in Dracula for instance just looks dreadful.

    In Point Break opposite Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey here fairs a bit better.

    Can’t think of a film where Hayden Christiansen hasn’t looked like an android needing an emotion software patch though – but acting opposite Natalie Portman doesn’t help

    Gawd yes, both Hayden and Ikea get my vote.. Simply put they both could do with some method acting lessons then join their local AmDram.

    Nick Cage though I quite like, whats that film where he’s doing a “DaVinci Code” replica?? Thought he was ok in that, just.

    National Treasure. It wasn’t awful. He wasn’t good though.

    Most ‘wooden’ actor has to be ….Steven Seagal ?

    Nicholas Cage. Luckiest man in showbiz Francis Ford Coppola’s nephew.

    He’s ok in Wild At Heart, but I’ve never felt the need to intentionally seek out anything else with him in it.
    One Nick Cage film goes a long way.

    Kristan Stewart or whatever the lass from Twilight was called.

    I saw Snow White with her in it and I swear her facial expression did not change for the entire film. That speech before the battle? I’d run like hell if I’d heard that.

    Roger Moore – The original and still the woodenest.

    Was never a fan, but I changed my opinion of Tom Cruise after Interview with a Vampire. I thought he was genuinely good in that. I wonder if the problem with him is not that he’s a crap actor, but that he generally appears in crap films.

    My vote is for Letitia Dean (Sharon in Eastenders).

    Its because all his films only really have one plot

    I’d watch a wooden actor rather than a hammy over-actor any day.

    examples: Al Pacino (later life), Bill Bixby, Roddy McDowell, Nicolas Cage (not wooden! OVER!)

    Most wooden ever:

    My (fading) memory of Revenge of the Sith was that Hayden Christiansen actually did better in his scenes with Ian McDairmid than in his scenes with Natalie Portman. My friends and I had a theory that Ian McDairmid was taking him aside between takes and giving him the acting tips and direction that George Lucas was unable to provide.

    oh yes, I meant hammy.

    Nicholas Cage must be an acquired taste 🙂 I liked him in Raising Arizona and Adaptation.

    I thought Nick Cage was great in Leaving Las Vegas, even won an oscar for it. Its just like he’s just given up on acting in the last 15years.

    He’s ok in Red Rock West too. Good film that he manages not to ruin.

    Christopher Walken.

    How dare you!

    Agree with Dez, since about ten years ago Pacino just became a parody of himself, WOOOOOH!!!

    I suppose we’re talking well-known actors here, move into the wonderful world of b-movie karate films and you have class acts such as Cynthia Rothrock, quite possibly the worst actress I’ve seen outside of porn:

    I think there’s actually two Nic Cages. Maybe he’s got a twin brother or something.

    One is the batshit-crazy Nic Cage. The other seems to be carved from mahogany. In batshit mode he’s actually pretty entertaining and a decent actor, the rest of the time they could readily replace him with some laminate flooring.

    You gotta wonder about someone if they really think Christopher Walken is wooden..
