I'm glad nobody has mentioned Arnie or Sly because whist they are not the best actors in the world, there far from terrible although the quality does vary from film to film. 

Sly isn't that bad an actor, although I think the original Rocky was the last time he played anything I might take seriously as acting. I wouldn't count Arnie because he never really claimed to be much of an actor. Action heroes kind of belong in a different class.

Really? I thought he was expectational in Rocky Balboa, in fact not only is it the second best film in the Rocky franchise but also Sly's equal best acting performance along with the original Rocky. IMO. 

I disagree. Arnie despite being a OTT action cult hero who got into the movie business because of his size is still classified as an actor. I thought he was very believable in such roles as Dutch and the Terminator.

Jennifer Aniston

sgreed. she never has any funny lines in 'Friends', while all the other characters do...

(obviously someone who doesn't like Friends might argue NONE of them have funny lines but that's a different point  )

[Doggett]

Denise Richards

She was terrible in 'The World is not Enough'.

Robocop and Hammock Rider -

Robocop:  Your objection to my analysis is an excellent one for stage - many times, a stage show may be saved by going against an idiot director's "vision".  This is possible because it is immediately live.  This does not work as well in a film situation.  Film is driven by editing, shot choices, special effects, etc.  If you choose to play something that is clankingly out of sync with the rest of the film, you are taking a gamble.  You may be lauded as "the best thing in the picture", but more likely you will draw attention to yourself as being the hedgehog in a sea of marshmallows . . . I've been reading a lot of Terry Pratchett lately. . .forgive me . ..

Joan Crawford:  Please look at the film "Rain", directed by John Huston, starring a very young Joan Crawford.  This is one of the most beautiful performances ever recorded on celluloid.  "Mildred Pierce" is another one worth looking at a second time.  Joan did a lot of crap, because she was a working actress, and took jobs as jobs.  The same could be said of poor Christopher Lee - for every "Lord of The Rings" or "Horror of Dracula" that he did, there are 5 or more Mexican horrors that do not bear mention.  Cruel business this acting . . .

Brad Pitt is the single most over rated actor in the history of mankind. As for the people who think Sarah Michelle Gellar can't act they are out of their F'N minds! Buffy was one of may favorite shows, and even though I thought "The Grudge" was over hyped, her performance was still excellent.

I suppose it does equaled better to stage, but my point still stands even with the treatment of post-production into play, but with that does downgrade the effectiveness.

nice analogy at the end.

I agree about Joan Crawford-she could be wonderful or a ham. As for Christopher Lee...he has been in some stinkers-but he never did any Mexican films to my knowldge-he DID do some stinkers (COUNT DRACULA,BLOOD DEMON) for Jess Franco in Spain.

8. Burt Reynolds

Though he was nominated for the Oscar for his performance in Boogie Nights (one of my fave movies) I'll have to agree, he is not the greatest actor. But he always comes off rather likable in most of his movies. When he is not playing the smart ass.
