Denzel Washington

Always the same, mumbling his way through a film

Denzel Washington

Always the same, mumbling his way through a film

He is always the same!

His lines and action might be different from being a good guy or his role in Training Day, but he has the same acting demeanour and delivery of lines all the time.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Meryl Streep.

Alec Baldwin

I may have agreed until I saw him in 30 Rock...incredible comic performance.

 

[somapop]

Alan Pacino, outside of the first two Godfather movies before he started overactiing.

 

[give it to gordon]

Matt Leblanc only saw one episode of friends and two episodes of top gear and he has to be the most wooden, boring person in the world ......;)

 

[Ste1969]

Hugh Grant

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Adam Sandler. A painfully unfunny "funny guy". The phrase "stealing a living" comes to mind.

Whilst I agree, I think we all get fed up of comedy actors because a comedy film can be shot in a few weeks. We simply see too much of them. Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler et al are simply overexposed.

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Brad Pitt. Hes a good character actor, but give him something normal, dramatic, and hes left wanting. For example, in Oceans 11 he lacks the charm and charisma of Clooney.

He was terrific in Meet Joe Black and I enjoyed his performance in Fight Club too. I liked his gypsy fighter in the Guy Ritchie film which I’ve forgotten the name of.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Jim Carey

Was just going to say the same. Same facial expressions in every film. Funny the first time...

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

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

Shurely shum mishtake?

 

[dickie davies]

Hugh Grant

In the last couple of years I've seen him in two roles which has changed my opinion of him

Jeremy Thorpe in A very English scandal and Fletcher in The Gentlemen

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Alec Baldwin

No way.

 

[Out on blue 6]

Shurely shum mishtake?

Yeah that was the accent he used playing the Irish cop in The Untouchables

 

[dickie davies]

Shurely shum mishtake?

Ah but what about when he played the role of a Rushan Shubmarine Captain!

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

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

I love Blue Moon!
We've gone from Richard Gere, Tom Hanks and Sean Connery to Sarah Lancashire in 5 posts!

Murphy is a good shout as well. Though he was brilliant in Trading Places.


Not a patch on Ms Curtis though!

Think it's unfair to expect most action film stars to be Oscar winning actors. They are what they are and in most cases are very successful in what they do.

Exactly he's shit. Professional Scot who ain't lived there for donkeys years
