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 love Nic Cage, Michael Caine, Nicole Kidman and Olivia Colman.

Kate Beckinsale is great in Love & Friendship though I agree, no Katharine Hepburn.

Kate Winslet on the other hand - so overrated. She has such an earnest, head girl in the school play vibe - a bit like Emma Watson. She is very pretty (Winslet) though. Same as Judi Dench.

Jason Statham and The Rock aren't supposed to be actors - they're charismatic action stars. The speech Jason Statham gives in Spy cracks me up.

James Nesbitt.

Melanie Griffith was awful and yet made some very watchable movies.

Jeff Goldblume

I agree about Liam Neeson, much as it pains me because I think he ought to be better. I never understand what kind of accent he is meant to be pulling off - Irish via USA? I dunno.

I know I am a minority of one for this choice: Tom Hanks. I absolutely can't stand him. Utterly talentless. I can't fathom why he is adored by so many.

Another vote for Emma Watson. So stage school and wooden. No range at all. She was beyond lucky to get the role of Hermione

The Rock has charisma and can sing.

Jason has no redeeming qualities.

Tom Cruise for me, just - nope.

Watched red one last night, the Rock was great

Keira Knightley
Bonnie Wright
Daniel Radcliffe

Emma Watson
Daniel Radcliffe

Zero acting talent

The cast of Virgin River...but there's also a problem with the script and plot

I like The Rock!

Nicolas Cage
Harrison Ford
Daniel Radcliffe

Michael Caine.

Actually there have been some fantastic soap actors and actresses. "Raquel" from Coronation Street for example.

I think the issue with Olivia Coleman is that she's just a bit overused at the moment- it's as though no other middle aged female actors exist. She is reasonably versatile I'd say other than she always plays middle aged women but that's not really surprising as she is one :-) I really liked her in the Lost Daughter and Broadchurch and the one about the poison pen letters- was slightly odd that her co-star in that played her young self in the Lost Daughter though.

This is a just a matter of personal taste tho isn't it? "Acting" can mean different things to different people. Like some people think Gary Oldman is the best actor who ever lived and some people think it's ott scenery chewing nonsense.
They've all got their own styles.. and also directors have their own styles.. and sometimes you get actors who aren't trained but have a certain vibe that works really well in certain films but fails abysmally in others.
But end of the day it's all subjective.
For example people like to hate on Kirsten Stewart dont they? But I actually really like her, despite hating Twilight.. I'd see something she was in..
Whereas Siorise Ronan I absolutely cannot stand even tho I know people say she's a wonderful actress, but there's just something about her.. if I see she's in something I'll think twice about watching it even if it's something I might like.

Daniel Radcliffe/Emma Watson, awful, worthy, preachy one tricks.

Paapa Esiedu just so wooden and in everything.

Mark Wahlberg nope.

Gwyneth Paltrow nepo & completely rubbish actor. Dubious Oscar award.

Eddie Redmayne oh fecking please.

All other nepo or Oxbridge actors.

Kiera knightly

She is just always Kiera Knightly never who she is meant to act to be.

I would say Keira Knightly, but actually she was really good in The Hole- maybe I'm just not over "I look quite pretty?" in Love Actually

Mark *Wahlberg was good in Basketball Diaries and Fear. Both 90s films.

Agreed. Sarah Lancashire aka Raquel is excellent.

Bloody Hugh Grant.
