Who are the least talented actors who are successful?

[WokeKarenHereAskMeAboutStuff]

In your opinion.

I’ll start.

The Rock
Gal Gadot
Mark Whalberg
Channing Tatum

I was scrolling this thread waiting to see if anyone else thought this!! She was DREADFUL. Literally one facial expression like you say. There was that scene right towards the end with the Mi6 boss lady and the actress playing her (the boss lady) did more with one eyebrow than Lashana Lynch did in the entire series. I’ve never watched such an expensive well put together show that had such a glaringly AWFUL performance.

I've loved him since Splash. I think he's phenomenal in Captain Phillips

Blimey. I thought he was excellent in Godot. One woman's meat etc

Yeah, but you could just use a different camera angle. Also, none - and I mean none -of the men were even remotely attractive, fanciable, nothing.

I only watched it because I was given DVD boxed sets by my then employer (I was her child's nanny) and she absolutely raved about how wonderful it was and we had to talk about each episode.

After a while I just accepted it as part of my non existant job description.

as the dentist in the revenge movie Horrible Bosses ( with a blink and you miss it cameo part of MM as a FedEx courier)

Sorry, don't agree....watch Pacino in 'The Devils Advocate', you will see what I mean.
De Nero has such a gurning expression in most of his later films....just can't take him seriously.

I think some actors have 'The Emperor's new clothes' effect...they fool the masses.

Ha ha, my DH always says they are awful actors. 😆

I will not watch anything with Emily Blunt in. Not only do I think she’s a horrifically terrible “actress”, she comes across as uncomfortably mean spirited and arrogant too

I think Emma Watson clinches it by a country mile, not least because she is so cringingly ungrateful for such incredible luck with so very little to offer.

I can't understand why anyone chooses to cast her anymore, unless it's some tax dodge film.

I loved PIP. Thought Antonio Banderas was wonderful too

Olivia Colman is so very ordinary and untalented

He was great - and beautiful -as Michael Corleone but has dined out on that for the past half century. His idea of acting since then seems to be shouting.

Not seen any of those but always meant to see Red October. I’ll reserve judgement!

Daniel Ratcliffe and Emma Watson.

Agreed.

The blond one that plays Thor in the Marvel films. More wooden than a kitchen table, and about as much charisma.

I was just about to say the same. Sarah Lancashire is extraordinary - in a good way

Agree with a lot of these, however, it's clear that Hugh Grant has really grown into his career.

Just watched The Rock in Central Intelligence and he has great comic timing and plays against type (sort of) as a sweet and funny nerd (who also happens to be a CIA spy so not completely against type 😁). He's also fab in Jumanji, Welcome to the Jungle.

Danny Dyer is BRILLIANT in both Human Traffic and Severance!

Oh my gps I love so many actors that people here hate😅

Balvinder Sopal who plays Suki in Eastenders. Over the years she has gone from speaking quite posh to sounding like a right proper Cockney till she seems to realise that she's just micking the other actors, pulls herself up and returns to plummy. But she soon slips back into it.

I thought Jennifer Aniston was good in The Morning Show.

I like Olivia Coleman but she's been over-exposed for a while. I wasn't a fan of Sarah Lancashire until I watched Happy Valley, but she was bloody brilliant as Catherine Cawood.

I didn't think much of Dan Stevens

I agree. Clooney is a much better businessman than actor.

He was savvy enough to realise that he wouldn't be 'housewife's choice' forever. He left ER at the peak of his hunk era, which shocked many at the time but was actually a very smart move. Then he became a 'movie star' when the concept still existed, despite not being a very good actor. Now he's an extremely rich businessman and philanthropist, even though nobody can remember the last time they've seen him on screen.

Very well played indeed.
