Worst big name actors.

[Bill Walker]

Not talking about the terrible standard of acting in every day soap operas but more about big names who appear in major TV series and movies.

My first nomination would be Hugh Laurie, he seems to get regular jobs and parts in big budget TV series but I don't know how he does it, his acting is wooden and he appears the same in everything he is in. For example..
He played the main bad guy in the series The Night Manager and was probably the worst actor in it.
Had the part of the evil billionaire been given to somebody who could actually act it would have made the series so much better.
Anyway, who's your nomination ?

 

[Newman Noggs]

Tom Hanks. He's the same in every film he's in.

 

[Bill Walker]

Nicholas Cage, same every time.
Another wooden actor.
How does he get these big movie parts ?

[Hart of the Matter]

Keanu Reeves. But a fascinating person in reality.

 

[gomoich]

Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Jim Carey

 

[Out on blue 6]

Sean Connery. Never got it. Same accent whatever role he played

 

[@BluePhil8]

Arnold Schwarzenegger

How can you say that mate? I genuinely think he’s fantastic in Terminator 2 and his more soft films like Jingle all the Way (seriously).

 

[squirtyflower]

Tom Hanks. He's the same in every film he's in.

He was a bit wooden in Toy Story

I still "don't get" Michael Caine


Honourable mentions also go to Richard Gere and Sarah Lancashire, for simply staring into the middle distance, trying to look enigmatic, in whichever role they're playing

 

[A57 the snake]

John Wayne all day long for me .

 

[mosssideblue]

John Wayne all day long for me .

Best me to it, Dreadful actor. Also Tele Savalas

She has gone downhill In the last couple of years, prior to that I always thought she was very good. Brilliant in Coronation Street.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Jim Carey

I'll second that. He is probably the worlds most unfunny funny actor, pathetic at best.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Vince Vaughan.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Will Ferrell.

 

[RadcliffeRick]

Best me to it, Dreadful actor. Also Tele Savalas

The hell he was!!!

 

[mosssideblue]

The hell he was!!!

Coochy coo

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Vince Vaughan.

Beat me to it.

Some of his films are okay due to the strength of the supporting cast, but any film he has to carry is pretty much unwatchable.
