Who are the least talented actors who are successful?

[WokeKarenHereAskMeAboutStuff]

In your opinion.

I’ll start.

The Rock
Gal Gadot
Mark Whalberg
Channing Tatum

With the exception of Siberia, which was so terrible (and had some of the most awkward sex I've ever seen in a movie) that I couldn't watch it all, I think he's great.

How dare you. He was the very best thing about Rivals. Although maybe that was the moustache doing the heavy lifting...
A moustache is just one big eyebrow but in a different place. It's a lipbrow. 😂

Jane Danson (Leanne in corrie) shes horrific!!

I'd say a lot of us are acting our socks off every day just to survive our rotten jobs. Just because a camera isn't there or we're not obviously on a stage etc.
My chops are up there with Dame Sybil Thorndike and my charisma, good looks, voice and poise would floor most of the thespians on this thread. And that's just on a Tuesday afternoon with no booking on Graham Norton and no green room champers and nibbles to look forward to.

She was fab in Wonka!

I didn't realise it was her at first.

Keira knightly and Nicole Kidman are just terrible

Seriously? She is outstanding In Euphoria.

David Walliams

Keira Knightly - she’s rubbish in Black Doves.

The TV actor that played Charlie in Casualty.
Him of the darting eyes and wooden acting.

no way! I think he’s brilliant!

I can’t watch anything with Kiera knightly - and I have no idea why??? I don’t loathe her just don’t like watching her. Bizarre!

Kiera Knightly made a fab mad sugar plum.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Sylvester Stallone
Angelina Jolie
Jaden Smith
Jean-Claude Van Damme
A lot of the actors on day time soaps can't act either

I've heard he's really nice, but when he was cast in the Wicker Man remake, I said, well, he's so wooden he'll burn well.
He WAS actually pretty good in Kick Ass, though. Much to my surprise

Yes of course there are some and I loved HR PuffnStuff as a kid, with Jack Wild. Haley Joel Osment was up for Harry Potter but being American couldn’t have it. I think he would have slayed it and been far better Harry than Daniel Radcliffe.

Don't like Will Ferrell. I don't find him funny at all.

Whenever I see Angelina Jolie I wonder why she is so famous, other than marrying Brad Pitt and being Lara decades ago. I haven’t seen a single film she’s been in. Does she really bring in the punters for her movies?

There are some absolute loons posting on this thread...

Cilla Black? Paddy McGuinness? Not actors..

Olivia Colman? Judi Dench? David Tennant? Nicola Walker? Exceptionally talented actors.

on the contrary, he acts the part of comedian, childrens author and normal member of society well enough to fool most people. And yet ...

Thank you! I can’t actually watch Keira Knightley she’s so bad.

Also, "all their characters are the same" is a stupid criticism. Actors are cast because they fit the role.

I feel the same, have never warmed to her. I used to feel it about Demi Moore as well. She seemed so generic to me, you could literally swap any other youngish actress to play her role.

Completely disagree on Tennant. It depends on the role, he takes a lot of silly, playful roles. But his acting in He's (the show about Dennis Neilson) was incredible. They showed a documentary afterwards which had actual interview footage, and the mannerisms were uncannily spot on.
And that final 15 minutes of Good Omens series 2 is emotionally devastating acting, from both him and Michael Sheen. Every tiny change in expression punches you in the gut.

Some actors get typecast pretty quick and then that seems to be all they do

some actors seem to only play the same character regardless of what they are in. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't

i like Nicola walker but she is very distinctive on radio so is hard to believe in what you’re listening to. She has the same intonation and style on everything she does
