Can't act...

I'm probably of a minority opinion on this but IMO Richard T. Jones is a terrible actor.
He has no range. He does a series of blank stares and doesn't go far enough in expressing emotion on screen. When he attempts to, it looks forced.
Plus, I remember his character in "The Wood" where he was the grown up version of a VERY funny teen. The character didn't translate well into his adult years because the actor was just miscast. He wasn't funny whatsoever.
But it's just my opinion. I'm sure someone will call me a jerk. Why am I on his board if I don't think he can act? Because I wanted to say so.
Does at least one person agree?

I am not familiar enough with his other work outside of Judging Amy to form enough of an opinion on him, but I will say that he does irritated, annoyed, and angry well. Perhaps after I see him in something else, I will pay attention to his acting "style" and can make a better assessment then.

But no, you're not a jerk for stating your opinion. As far as I'm aware, for the moment, America is still a Democratic State, and you have the right to disagree with people regarding things. People do need to remember that IMDB is not a fansite, it's a message board, and that means that people will have (and rightfully so) differing opinions. I read lots of messages on these boards I disagree with, and unless someone is being downright disrespectful and rude, I can and will tolerate their differing opinion.

Cheers.

Totally agree, but I'm only basing that opinion from Godzilla and Collateral.
