Stars from anytime that you think can't act... If you have a reason, like nepotism, please share!
shareNot really a fan of Adam Driver or Jared Leto's style of acting.
Driver in particular lacks the ability to convincingly play any role aside from a hapless goober.
Sandra Bullock
Such a fucking ditzy airheaded bimbo dumbo.
Anyone who disagrees is stupid.
Keanu Reeves
See above for Sandra only as a male.
Put them together and you get Stupid instead of Speed
Seth Rogen
Whose dick is he sucking to get roles?
I like the movie Speed but that was funny.
I'm with you on Seth Rogen. He was decent in Freaks and Geeks before it became apparent that he wasn't acting there and was playing himself, as demonstrated by every part he's played since.
Nicolas Cage! He couldnât act his way out of a wet paper bag! Cannot tolerate that man! He talks in the same monotone continuously.
Ben Affleck (Despite winning 2 Academy awards) Intolerable as âBatmanâ.
I absolutely agree on Nic Cage.
Ben Affleck has improved in recent years. I don't think he's great or anything, but he's certainly better than he used to be.
Regarding Ben Affleck, maybe itâs a negative bias on my part. I just donât like him. The same goes for Jim Carrey. A little of him goes a long wayâŠtoo much so.
I just thought of another imo who cannot act, but continues to be cast is Owen Wilson.
I agree with you on all three of those.
shareKeanu Reeves and Will Smith are the most obvious. Smith is famous because Hollywood needed a token "good black" who wouldn't offend white people.
Reeves charmed the world with Bill & Ted. But what worked in a teenage comedy became deadpan stoic delivery in The Matrix and John Wick. Those films are more about special affects than acting.
I still like Keanu Reeves even though he's no Olivier! He manages to pull a lot of bad acting traits together and somehow make them work. I guess it's the whole "the sum is greater than its parts" thing.
I like Reeves too. I think "My Own Private Idaho" was a very good film. I just think that he's a good example of a less than stellar actor.
It's sorta like Arnold Schwarzenegger. He doesn't have to be a good actor for the types of films he does.
Haha, so true about Schwarzenegger. Terminator was a monster hit and I think his dialogue would've fit on a post-it note! A lot of times it's just a matter of fitting the right "type" actor to the role.
shareRobert Taylor was a big star from the 1930s through the 1950s. Always thought he was a bit of a stiff, but what saved him was a movie star quality.
