Who Cannot Act?!

[mystress]

Hi there,

Would anyone care to add to this(personal) list of Actors,who in my humble opinion cannot act,but are getting loads of money for not doing it!?

Roger Moore

Michael Caine

Sean Connery

Hugh Grant

at the moment I cannot think of any Females,but I am sure someone will! LOL

[Emily Ball]

He who possesses only one facial expression-Harrison Ford!

[milly143]

Jennifer flippin Lopez, Danny from Eastenders, everyone in holloaks.

Good call on Richard Gere - how long can he get away with playing the same old (and I mean old) Lothario role? I might take Sean Connery more seriously if he could do accents - a Russian submarine commander from Edinburgh? The only time I can remember him trying to do a different accent was in The Untouchables, when he was the least convincing Irishman this side of Tommy Lee Jones. Of the women, Liz Hurley and Pamela Anderson are awful.

From British telly, I'd nominate Amanda Burton (you could never accuse her of being two-faced, she only does the one expression) and the ex-Eastenders duo of Nick Berry and Michelle Collins, who have been Simon Wicks and Cindy Beale under assumed names in everything they've done since.

Mark Wahlberg - easily the most wooden actor of the moment

Ice Cube - musicians in films ! ( see also Mick Jagger in " Freejack "  David Bowie and Sting

Martin Lawrence - if only he was as funny as he thinks he is

Per Bruce Willis - he tries in a few films . You can spot it when he looks like he has trapped wind.

Re Littleoldme :

" Least Convincing Irishman " - here are a few more candidates !

TOM CRUISE - FAR AND AWAY ( or whatever it was called )

MICHAEL J FOX - BACK TO THE FUTURE ( Mr AYST -WOOD ? )

DONALD SUTHERLAND - THE EAGLE HAS LANDED

[JinxtheCat]

That bloke who plays Dennis in Eastenders. He's rubbish.

[JinxtheCat]

o, and the entire cast of Big Brother.

[kev100]

Stallone
Van Damme
cast of constipation street
cast of Eastenders
cast of Are you being served
cast of the Royle family
Vinnie Jones surely holds the world record for being the acting nonentity of all time.

I could sit here typing till my fingers bleed, why dont we have a thread on who CAN act?

[BigDogsWang]

as Ludwig said at the beginning of this post - Keanu Reeves.

Could not agree more. Ever seen 'Johnny Pneumonic'?

[mystress]

OK kev100,

Since I started this thread,I hereby authorise you to start one called "Who CAN Act!" LOL

[admarlow]

The cast of Hollyoaks

[admarlow]

.....CANT act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mattk]

strange that you think 2 oscar winners(caine and connery) cant act.

both are incredible actors given the right material.

[kazzee69]

I am disagreeing with so many of these.. Richard Gere is great. And if you think Kevin Spacey can't act then you havn't seen 'Usual Suspects' or 'Pay it Forward'.

[hellywellywo]

How about Jennifer Lopez?

[drwhofan]

Matt LeBlanc. He can do Joey Tribianni, but the rest of the time he acts about as well as Joey Tribianni does in Days Of Our LIves (ie not good)

[Snappy]

Charlie Stubbs in corrie, he is so awful! It makes me cringe watching him sometimes, how bad he is! Also the lad who plays Warren Baldwin, did you see him trying to cry last week? Awful!!

[Denise S.]

I cannot see what people see in Jude Law - rubbish.

I agree with previous reply, Keanu Reeves - wooden.

A better list would be favourite actors :

Al Pacino, Robert de Niro, Steve McQueen, is a good start.

[Brumbiter]

Nightmare cast:  Josh Hartnett, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jnr, Kate Hudson and Ashley Judd.

 

Oh and why has no-one mentioned Julia Roberts?  Three things you will find in EVERY Julia film: happy, toothy face; moody, irritated face (the same as the other one but with her mouth closed); and seriously ugly cardigans.

[airbolt]

Actually Brumbiter I think that is the cast of the next Scream film!

Freddie Prinze Jr couldnt act even if you hit him with a large object , tempting tho that is! As for Matthew Lillard the fact that his standout performance is Shaggy says it all!

Mark Dascasos , Whip Hubley, Don Swayze, Carmen Electra, Olivier Gruner - now theres a film that will have them flocking in!
