Which actor says the F word best?

    Winding down work wise so I've been catching up on a tonne of recordings and Netflix stuff. I just happened to get a run of movies where the F word is used a lot and it got me thinking. My favourite actor for pronouncing the F word with style and conviction is Joe Pesci. He has such a way with it across different types of characters. It rolls off his tongue naturaly, yet it can contain venom or humour.

    So AHs name an actor that is simply fooking great at pronouncing the F WORD.

    Best individual "F you" was, for me, Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad to Gretchin.

    This probably why I opted for Joe Pesci, but he has a broader range.

    Agreed. Ralph Fiennes gives him a run for his money with a few impressive exchanges with Brendan Gleeson in the otherwise lousy 'In Bruges'.

    Nah,it's the f word. In fairness to Carlyle I've never heard the word c*nt uttered with such venom as his anti-hero Franco Begbie.

    Something about an American saying '**** you' sounds so much harsher than an Irish accent.

    Yeah great with the c*nt word as Begbie.

    I'm not convinced European actors can deliver the F word as good as the Americans. But Colm Meany was fairly good at it. Maybe its an Irish thing.

    I've always liked the delivery of the below




  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86



    I somehow, genuinely, did not even notice that was Tom Cruise until about 2/3rds through the movie. He's excellent in that, and genuinely really funny for a guy that doesn't do comedy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    Some actors who really, really know how to say f***

    Ari Gold in Entourage was pretty good as well.

    Most of Glengarry Glenross was just a pissing contest to see who could say it better.

    That film, and especially the Tom Cruise scenes, annoyed me because it was so up its own arse, nudge nudge wink wink we're rich Hollywood actors. Really disliked it and especially that dwarf Scientologist freak trying to be funny.

    These days the word actress has gone out of fashion. All the thesps, male and female are actors. Any female candidates?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭Dr Crayfish


    Anyway for me it's Al Pacino when he turned into shouty Al Pacino some time in the 80s or 90s.

    Can't find the video but Tom Vaughan-Lawlor in his final scene as Nidge.
    As he was talking to Siobhain and she told him she had ratted on him.

    He said the line "When I get you, and I f*cking will..." Really believable. If I remember it correctly, as he said the word "f*cking", spit flew out of his mouth, really emphasised it.

    Joe Pesci is a strong contender for the crown from those Goodfellas scenes alone.

    There's some really good sounboard prank calls out there using Pacino from Glengarry Glenross.

    Best individual "F you" was, for me, Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad to Gretchin.
    When it comes to multiple variations on the F-word, though, my thoughts go straight to Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

    The queen of the saying the F word. Also how she says decapitated in this clip makes me smile every time!

    No mention yet of Ray Fackin Winstone.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,310 ✭✭✭✭Grandeeod


    While he's an actor not known for the classic delivery of the F word, he really got the chance to push the boat out in this movie. Steve Martin. Planes. Trains and Automobiles.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭Don Kiddick


    Jim Jeffries is up there..... although his use of the C word is unparalleled
