Oliver Jackson-Cohen - How can someone so bad get big roles in movies?!


This British chap is an absolute disgrace to fellow actors.He looks like a Salesaman,has zero charisma and acting talent is so bad,it is just so so shocking that he gets prominent roles in movies. He must have some Agent! Rare to see someone put you off watching a movie.He's that bad in 'Faster'!

As expected from someone who has only seen him in Faster, which is a very poorly-written movie - and the characters are no exception. How do you expect the actors do make an outstanding job when the script is so mediocre? Not even Billy Bob Thornton did well in Faster.

Thanks for the personal reply from Oliver-Jackson's Grandma!

I see you have been busy on 'imdb message boards' attacking any one who dislikes Oliver ( 39 messages yesterday and over 40 messages the previous day!!!).

First of all, old Girl, chill out. It's just an opinion; nothing more and you don't need to get personal. I have watched a few movies and two TV serials with Oliver and sadly, he's beyond Pathetic. He's Baaad!

Now, don't split your beans old girl, its just an opinion.

But spending all your time on 'imdb message boards' and trolling for replies (over 40 messages per day!! Phew! Mama!) suggests a LOSER with no real job. So ease it m'lady.Stop going after anyone who doesn't like your little boy. It's all right.
He'll still be your little boy and still an absolutely incompetent, pathetic actor to ever grace our screens!

Wow. Quite the personal attack, there. Would it be out of line for a third party to ask you to dial it back a bit? It's especially telling when you waste time looking up someone's posting history on IMDB in order to gripe about how much time someone else is wasting by posting on IMDB.

Personally speaking, I intend to reserve judgement on Oliver's skill as an actor until I have seen him in more than bit parts and poorly written roles. Although I personally didn't care for his performance in Faster and although I suspect he still has a good bit to learn as an actor, I - for one - am willing to give him time to develop. He's still quite young. How many years did it take Sean Connery to cease being cringe-worthy? I could be completely off base here, but I sense that Oliver has a lot of potential. His performance as Ralph in World Without End is utterly different in every respect from his performance as Philip in Lark Rise to Candleford. I wouldn't consign him to the dustheap just yet, if I were you.

LOL. It's okay.
The guy, throughout his not-so-accurate stalking, missed that I get "busy" on the board of almost everything that I have recently seen - film, series, or actor.
Didn't know discussion was a crime or something only losers do! Please do forgive me Sir. I will now stop posting just to please you.
Really, what's wrong with such people 

I concur - he's crap.

Just finished watching Faster and the guy who played killer nearly ruined a perfectly good action film, not only he can't act but is irritatingly bad at it, he's that crappy.
