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??

I don't really like Brad Pitt, but compare him in Thelma and Louise vs. Seven vs. Snatch vs. The Mexican -- I thought he was totally different people in each of those.
Keanu Reeves in My Own Private Idaho might surprise, too.... Pale in comparison to River Phoenix in same film, mind (or any film, for that matter).

DH is nominating Leo DiCrapio.

Sean Connery is a star but he's a shite actor

everyone in eastenders.... is it a parody rather than a soap these days? awful rubbish

Coddy, but I thought Beety was such a lovely, sensible person - albeit with an annoyingly flat stomach, no doubt.

WideWebWitch · 29/03/2004 21:12

Batters, my dad once told me that anecdote, fab isn't it?

Chinchilla · 29/03/2004 22:13

Sean Connery
Michael Caine
Anthony Hopkins (except SOTLambs)
The woman from The Thorn Birds (Rachel...?)

Cameron Diaz is an ex-model who can act

MrsDoolittle · 29/03/2004 22:24

Ben Afflek annoys me - don't understand what the fascination with him is.
And Joseph Fiennes - thought he was great in Elizabeth, then watched him play the same part in Sakespeare in Love?!? Hero or anti-hero???

spacemonkey · 29/03/2004 22:25

YES Ben Affleck is RUBBISH!

Have really enjoyed reading all your nominations for bad actors and agree with quite a few, but was especially taken by motherinferior's (great nickname, by the way) take on Alan Rickman. He could abandon his career for me anyday. Could we start a list of people who we think are wasted in acting and would lead much worthier lives if they devoted themselves to us mums. Afterall, I could do with a bit of pampering. I would start with Ioan Gruffudd myself. Any other suggestions?

Grommit · 04/04/2004 18:12

what about J-Lo -eeeek!

carlyb · 04/04/2004 18:18

That awful girl that Dev is with in Coronation Street - think she is called Mia - Bad overacting!

Grommit · 04/04/2004 18:22

carlyb - what about Dev? He is so bad - reminds me of the son in 'Steptoe and son'...

carlyb · 04/04/2004 18:23

LOl!! I cant believe that Dev is supposed to be a heart throb!

Grommit · 04/04/2004 19:19

He is too vile for words

littletree · 04/04/2004 19:53

Definitely Keanu Reeves... He sucks donkey balls!

kiwisbird · 04/04/2004 20:08

and errr Colin farrell? how hard is it to play jumped up pretentious little shites when you are one?
How is that acting?

willow2 · 04/04/2004 21:31

Absolutely - finally watched Phone Booth the other night. What a load of shite.

willow2 · 04/04/2004 21:33

And not forgetting the entire cast of Sky One's lamentable football soap, Dream Team. Although have to admit that it is so truly awful that I find it addictive.

kiwisbird · 04/04/2004 21:34

watched it o willow hence posting... must have taken 3 horus to film it..
tense thriller? I get more tense waiting for newnight to start

suzywong · 04/04/2004 21:36

In blunt answer to the thread title: Leonardo diCaprio

slug · 05/04/2004 12:19

Russel Crowe. Did you see gladiator? All he did was stare off into middle distance or scowl. Occasionally he got worked up and managed both at once.

katierocket · 05/04/2004 12:27

vikki - or whatever her name is, from Eastenders, Shaaaran's long lost sister
appears with rubbish american accent - can't keep it up so goes away and comes back without accent!
