In a show that has a long list of bad actors she’s by far the worst. You’d think after all this time she’d get used to it and would stop laugh-talking.

The “breaking” is deliberate, they do it on SNL as well*

Sh1te shows do it a lot

*was mentioned on an episode of 30 Rock

Julia Roberts. Can look like she is trying to figure out why she is there?
Reese Witherspoon. Almost always too intense bit like like Tom Cruise?

I've never figured out Colm Meanys appeal albeit I've not seen him in anything in recent years, perhaps that in itself says it all. Some pretty dreadful performances in equally dreadful films but whilst not a film, his performances generally in Star Trek Deep space nine was just appalling where he played the token Irish character chief O Brien, just awful cringe enducing stuff. Seems the snapper was pretty much a one hit wonder.

Nah, Meaney is a fine actor. He did a scene in DS9 as "Smiley" in the alternate universe, where he wishes for the life in the other universe, as anything would be better than this, and it was just fabulous acting. There were plenty of bad actors in DS9, but Meaney wasn't one of them. He was also great as Gene in Layer Cake.

re: Cage - he's a superb actor who appears in a lot of bad movies. Ethan Hawke described him as “the only actor since Marlon Brando that’s actually done anything new with the art of acting”. No matter how sh1t a movie is, Cage generally improves it.

getting back to the question, the correct answer is Arnie - he can't act for toffee, but he's always entertaining.

Harrison Ford has two expressions - frown and point his finger or sideways grin. His movies are always about his wife or his family in danger.

Michael Douglas never made a movie where he doesn't have a shower scene or a white bathrobe or he doesn't slick his hair back.

Tom Cruise - surprise or a grin or he runs manically.

After scores of movies actors become parodies of themselves

I knew Jenny slightly, a long time ago, when we were both young actors. She had talent, but getting drawn into the BOC world did her no favours. You need to be a superb actor to rise above scripts that bad.

Check out the Steven Seagal emotion chart.

If you can't see his face it's been a body double since the turn of the millennium.

Michael Caine, why he's so highly regarded has me baffled

I know it's nowhere near Hollywood levels but Keith Duffy in Coronation Street. He just played himself and kept looking at the camera.

No can't agree with you at all. Neil Patrick Harris is absolutely outstanding in ' Its a Sin'

2 golden globes and an oscar winner out of 7 nominations.

This thread has jumped the shark so many times the shark has gitten bored, given up and gone home, shaking its head sadly.

Andie MacDowell. She is just blessed she picked great comedies in Four Weddings and Groundhog Day.

I find Julia Roberts - whilst a stunningly beautiful woman, somewhat annoying to watch as an actress. I don't see her as a character in all her movies, rather just Hollywood celeb - Julie Roberts. She does the same quirky traits in every movie she's in.

Also I can't watch a movie with Kiera Knightly.

I think Nic Cage has very been good in too many movies to be called a bad actor to be honest. I can easily see why people would jump to him so quickly.

Hayden Christiansen - terrible from his first scene in Star Wars.

Is the betting without Nicolas Cage. Only good film i have seen him in is On frozen ground. Other than that shocking.

Kick Ass. Con Air. Into The Spiderverse. He nearly makes Gone In 60 Seconds work too.

Lord Of War, Bad Lieutenant, Snake Eyes, Leaving Las Vegas and 8mm would be my picks of films that were good.

Have to also say I loved of Face/Off, The Rock, Con Air and Gone in 60 seconds so my opinion is probably not worth much

Theworldisy

Liked the rock but can't remember him in it.
