Who are some of the worst mainstream actors and actresses that keep landing big roles despite their utter lack of talent?
The biggest culprit for me is Marion Cotillard. Somehow she keeps landing lead female roles across the biggest actors (Leo, Pitt), but she's very one dimensional and completely unattractive.
Dominic Purcell (from Prison Break) is also up there on my list. He's like a big brain dead gorilla that yells and screams over everything.
Mark Wahlberg, Casey Affleck, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashton Kutcher, Kaley Cuoco, Charlie Sheen, David Caruso, Jamie Kennedy, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Megan Fox, Miley Cyrus
I think you just nailed it, earl.
😎
Mark Wahlberg? He is still good.
shareYes, he is pretty good. Plus, he talks to animals: https://www.hulu.com/watch/37753
shareWhaaa? Mark Wahlberg ruins everything.
shareEarl I agree with all but maybe Jamie Kennedy I'm more neutral about.
I would like to add the irritating Emma Roberts and the highly annoying Tom Cruise.
the girl witch in suicide squad
shareShe's a model. That may have been her first movie role.
shareCara Delevingne was already a lead actress in Paper Towns a year before Suicide Squad.
shareThanks. If it weren't for my total imdb boycott, I might have known this. I also have to remember Wikipedia as a source for this kind of info.
She actually wasn't bad in Suicide Squad.
Actually I didn't know it was her in Paper Towns because in the poster it looked like Emma Watson (albeit with funny brows)! I thought it was just the make up.
While watching the movie I constantly confused about the fact that it was entirely different person than what I expected lol. That is until I checked IMDb of course. Only then I know that it was Cara Delevingne.
I think she's great and I'm looking forward for her next roles, specifically in the movie Valerian.
doesn't matter, she's a mainstream hollywood "it" actor & she's incredibly bad
shareJeremy Renner. I just don't see it.
shareThoughts on Amy Adams (who played across from him in Arrival)? She reminds me of the girl from The Office.
shareThere are so many women in The Office.
shareYes!! I've always thought that about her. They look remarkably alike!! (Jenna Fischer)
In fact, I thought that it was Jenna Fischer the entire way through the Clint Eastwood movie "The Trouble With the Curve"!!
Mark Wahlberg... nuff said.
shareEmma Watson
shareShe is not that bad. She was probably better in the Harry Potter series.
shareDisagree completely. That woman has talent, class, beauty and smarts. She was wonderful in Beauty and the Beast.
shareYup.
shareTalent? Muahahhahahha lol she is flatter than a cardboard she is a HORRIBLE actress.
And i don't think she beautiful either she look like a young buy I have seen girls in engineering school that are way more beautiful than her. She is below average and being a SJW doesn't mean she is smart
I had a crush on her in the first Harry Potter movie and I am pretty sure she was not even UK's age of consent (joke), in that movie.
shareOh boy, are you right about that!
shareJennifer Lawrence.
shareAgreed. Not sure how she got so famous.
shareEasy. She was a small town girl, in Kentucky. She has a face that is so different from the mainstream girl. Additionally, she shows NO emotion in any of her movies and she is perfect for the whole woman empowerment agenda.
So Hollywood sees it like this. You take a gal from KY, a state that no one gives credit to, and make her a star. Basically, it is like saying that they had taken a girl in poverty (Not really. Her parents are wealthy, as they live in the Beverly Hills of KY, Indian Hills; I always pass through it on my way to Louisville) and bring her to the spotlight. The same trend that follows women being brought up to being equal in society.
In all her movies, it shows this. Catniss Everdeen, her role in Winter's Bone, Joy, etc. The media even ate her up when she told everyone that she was not paid as much as male actors in American Hustle.
Interesting theory. It's like being a small town girl and showing no emotion are keys to Hollywood success. I just wish she could act.
shareWell, it is a type they knew she could play very well in the films. When Hollywood seems to go with who they pick as actors/actresses, they always have something about them that is kind of odd. Look up all the actors/actresses you know and find something odd about them. It could be something physical or something about their upbringing.
Ironically for Jennifer, there are tons of movies being shot in her city, Louisville and she has yet to star in one of them. These are mostly small independent films and the funny thing is, she is out in who knows where, making all these other movies. Now days, big budget films are filmed in Canada and Atlanta, GA.
I forgot about Jennifer Lawrence. Agreed.
I also want to add KRISTEN STEWART!
Yeah, she is pretty stone faced in movies.
shareYes. You're right.
shareThey're all of a type aren't they? They take themselves very seriously and believe their own hype.
Both the two you mention and Emma Watson are all just riding the wave of popularity connected to the franchises HP,Hunger Games and Twilight.
More luck than talent,sadly.
Leonardo DiCaprio. He's always the same guy, either with or without facial hair
shareI have to disagree with that one. I think he is a great actor. Leo as Howard Hughes (The Aviator) is not the same guy as the Leo from Inception.
shareI like Leo too. I will never forget What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I'd never seen him in anything before that so I was surprised to find out he wasn't handicapped. He's an amazing actor.
shareHe had me convinced in that movie. It's a great but heartbreaking movie. I recently heard that the mother in the movie died in real life.
shareHe's definitely a great actor!!
shareIn The Aviator he was pulling a Daniel Day-Lewis, confusing overacting and acting quirky with actual acting. He was also very much miscast as Howard Hughes. Daniel Day-Lewis is another overrated actor, he's absolutely annoying.
shareI think Marion Cotillard struggles when she's not speaking French... in French she's a good actress... in English I've seen worse... Dominic Purcell is a good call though... I must really like Prison Break because I think both of the brothers are bad actors and I still like the show.
shareHaha yeah Wentworth is also a piss poor actor, it's just that starring next to Purcell makes him look like a god. I was in love with that show early on but it went downhill fast.
shareHe's okay, as long as he stays in that cool Michael Scofield intellectual mode... Similar to how Arnold works for the Terminator just perfectly. However, once he started trying to act emotional over Sara, his lack of acting range was badly exposed
