I Just Can't Stand This Actress....


And I can not, for once in my life, exactly articulate why. She was good and extremely pitiful as the doormat, unloved, lifeless wife in "American Beauty", and I liked her in "West Wing", as well as "The Hours". But in just about everything else, I'm not crazy about her. In "Masters & Sex", in "Primary Colors", and in almost everything else, she just seems to be either over-acting, or simply mis-cast. I don't know. I think Christine Lahti would be a much better actress in all the roles that Allison Janney gets. I miss seeing Lahti, and wish they'd give her more roles.

I completely, utterly, whole heartedly disagree with you. I find her to be amazing in every role she takes on, and truly love her in everything. But then again, that's what opinions are for, it's what we are all entitled to!
