Be honest....who is NOT really worthy of being called an actor?

I know I will be shot down in flames but some actors are not worthy of being called actors.

Keanu Reeves....tasty but very bad actor!
Harrison Ford always plays himself.
Edward Fox......what the hell?
All the guys from Friends.....all play themselves.

I like actors who have character and can do accents like Ewan McGregor and the chap from The Full Monty.

Any others??

Spooky! I was thinking about this the other day.

Hugh Grant - he is just the same in every single film he's in. That hesitant delivery of lines he does makes me want to scream, and that self-deprecating little grimace. Aaaargh! Can you imagine him ever playing against type?

Liz Hurley: not an actress, not a model, not a brain. What IS she????

marthamoo · 29/03/2004 16:05

Patrick Swayze is dreadful too. And any of the muscle bound ones - Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Van Damme, Lundgren.

And Steven Segal, MM

Gary Oldman ... HAM

MrsGrump · 29/03/2004 16:44

Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andie McDowell. Agree on Amanda Redman, too.

MrsGrump · 29/03/2004 16:45

Agree that Ewan McGregor CAN act -- brilliantly for that matter. But wasn't he simply awful in the Star Wars films? Blech.

collision · 29/03/2004 16:46

I wonder why all these CRAP actors get paid so much money????

And vicky

Collision: For answer, see the not-to be-kicked out of bed thread.

spacemonkey · 29/03/2004 16:59

oh i totally agree about Ewan in Star Wars - when watching Attack of the Clowns I spent the whole film thinking NOEL EDMONDS

lou33 · 29/03/2004 17:08

Gary Oldman's sister, who plays Big Mo in Eastenders. Must run in the family.

AussieSim · 29/03/2004 17:08

Ex models generally (except Charlize Theron?) Elle McPherson, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer etc

melsy · 29/03/2004 19:01

Agree on Liz HURLey!! She sounds like a man in drag!!! that deep voice!!! Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge: amazing, yum & great , Star wars apsofu**ing crapolo, so wooden , so dispapointing, so NOT sexy,so like he didnt believe what he was saying.

LadyP · 29/03/2004 19:03

Brad Pitt, Steve Guttenberg (although whether he 'acts' anymore...).

I agree about Liz Hurley. I'm in 2 minds about Jim Carrey - saw 'The Man in the moon' last night and thought he was great!

Oh yes, all the Hollyoaks cast are crap as well.

Frenchgirl · 29/03/2004 19:48

I'll third Andie McDowell 'oh is it raining? I hadn't notice' puke

Slinky · 29/03/2004 19:49

For me it has to be ...

Michael Caine
Andie McDowell
The whole "Ferreria family" in Eastenders - aren't they supposed to be "wiped out" soon??? HURRAH!!!

I'm sure there are many more - just can't think off the top of my head!i

Agree about Jim Carey except for The Truman Show, which was fantastic imo. Don't like DDL but just because of how badly he treated his wife (can't remember who it was) - just suggests he's up his own bum. Batters, if it's all too much for him, well I didn't know that but would seem to bear out up bum theory. Agree about Liz Hurley, Steven Seagal and definitely Andie McDowell. Wasn't Ewan McGregor just awful in Star Wars because he was 'doing' Alec McGuinness? (mind you, he should have been able to do it, agreed, and failed miserably).

allatsea · 29/03/2004 20:19

Ewan McGregor, = noel edmumds LOL

Sean Connery
Kevin Costner ( I think that it must be in his contract to have to say the line 'let justice reign or the heavens fall' in every film)

sis · 29/03/2004 20:29

Has no one mentioned Madonna yet? she has to be in the list - or maybe not because she is so bad that it doesn't approach the realm of acting. Agree with Sean Connery and have to add Clint Eastwood.

WSM · 29/03/2004 20:29

Keanu Reeves is just plain terrible.
