    Ben Affleck - he’s so forced
    Pierce Brosnan is a terrible actor, so wooden and IMO the 2nd worst Bond
    Tommy Tiernan is woeful in Derry Girls
    Owen Wilson - diabolical
    Mark Wahlberg-plays one character and that’s it

    I disagree with all of this really, but Tommy was a great straight man in Derry girls. Given the rest of the cast were hyper - to say the least - he had a good role as the straight man patriarch.

    I think Tommy Tiernan does the best acting of the whole cast. Best role he has had. Subtle reacting, rather than over the top gurning.

    Yes. The rest of the cast did enjoy their gurning. It was still funny though.

    Baby Driver?

    Admittedly, I haven't seen that. Didn't like the concept.

    Hilarious in Zoolander, perfect in Midnight In Paris, and consistently watchable in his work with Wes Anderson.

    Agree about Midnight in Paris but Zoolander? An awful film.

    Thought Jon Hamm was excellent in Mad Men. Poor enough in just about everything else I've seen him in.

    Mad Men was brilliant and Jon Hamm will always be associated with Don Draper - a character men secretly aspire to be. I work in an office, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have colleagues who brought in a decanter of brandy and glasses into their office to base themselves on the character and who all of a sudden were taking afternoon siestas in the office (and making it public knowledge).

    Anyway, Jon Hamm just can't seem to shake that character. It's like an albatros around his next in every role that he plays, regardless of the type of film. I've seen him in comedies (e.g. Tag), serious films like Beirut; And he puts on the same brooding performance in each film - a kinda arrogant character who gives the impression that he knows it all i.e. like Don Draper.

    IMO, it's not that he is a bad actor; more so that he seems like he has to put on a Don Draper performance in everything that he is in.

    Dougal, theres another one who sounds like he's just reading lines for the first time... he was brilliant in father Ted, but Death in Paradise, that super-hero one, my family I think it was called, just seemed like an actor reading lines rather than an actual character

    Agree. Ardal O’Hanlon was perfect as Dougal. Anything else I’ve seen him in, and even his stand up, not so much.

    David Bowie brilliant pop singer but as an actor pretty poor, the same could be said for Prince and Mick Jagger

    Elvis wasn't too bad although the movies he starred were truly tripe

    My immediate reaction also, he was excellent as Nicola Tesla.

    I actually think he stole the show (though Bale was pretty good too).
