Who are the least talented actors who are successful?

[WokeKarenHereAskMeAboutStuff]

In your opinion.

I’ll start.

The Rock
Gal Gadot
Mark Whalberg
Channing Tatum

Hallie Berry

He takes a lot of hyper, playful roles. Have you seen Des? The acting in that is chilling good.
And that final 15 of GO series 2 broke my heart SO HARD

I don't think you understand my point. Tom Cruise has limited acting range. It doesn't matter if he plays a hitman in one film and a rock star in another. He lacks the ability to truly inhabit unique individuals. He's always the same in every role; he has no versatility. Further, he can't express emotional nuance.

And evaluating someone's acting ability is always inherently subjective. Just take a look at this thread. There is spirited debate about a number of actors. You can't say one view is "right" and another is "wrong" in any objective sense. We're all just expressing what we believe to be right or wrong.

DES, not he's. Bloody autocorrect

Jeff goldblum is great in the film Wicked

Gal Gadot

Did anyone already say Kevin Costner?

I disagree

I think Johnny Depp is good though I haven't seen him in much. One of my favourite ever movies is Ed Wood. He was brilliant in that

That’s very funny.

Liam neeson!!!

Hugh Grant has grown into a magnificent actor.

Truly moving in Florence Foster Jenkins, menacing in A Very English Scandal, and heartbreaking in Maurice.

Emma Watson is the worst of the bunch IMO

Leonardo DiCaprio being outacted by a cat (and not just any cat, the wonderful OwlKitty).

The problem with a lot of the big name female actors is that it’s not clear how they ended up getting cast in everything. I feel like Nicole Kidman has info on people!

whatever happened to Hilary swank? I thought she was going to be the meryl Streep of her generation

Guessing you didn’t see him on stage in Cabaret?? Very creepy as the MC - he was excellent.

I’m with you. I was made to suffer through Castaway and have never got over it 😂

Nic Cage as Italian Captain Correlli 😂
It made John Hurt's and Christian Bales 'Greeks' Oscar worthy by comparison 😁

Penelope Cruz just spoke with her native Spanish accent and hoped that no one would notice any difference it seemed.

Forgiven though, as she is utterly stunning and I love her 😍

Isn't this the crucial difference between a film star and an actor?

The lead actress in the Jackal was in James Bond

He’s not bad in the English language version of Criminal.

He does act different characters. Jack Sparrow will be his legacy, but in fact he gives great performances in some odd little films, like Dead Man and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Donnie Brasco. Terrifying in Dark Mass. He is genuinely good at acting. His taste is scripts is quirky.

A lot of these actors are just hampered by the fact that casting directors are asked by producers to just get them to do their schtick. That's what the paying public want to see; Hugh Grant being a posho. He was great as Jeremy Thorpe in A Very English Scandal.

It's not just in the last few years, now she's 90, that producers expect Dame Judi to just phone in a performance. If that's what the public expect why not?

Hugh Grant.
He can only play Hugh Grant.

Just not true.

Is he still going, Dev? My eyes have barely recovered from his awful dalliance with Deirdre Barlow, or whoever she was at the time.
