I think you'll have some support there. I've heard alot of people bash Tarantino. Personally I like his movies, but as an actor he can get annoying.

I like his movies okay, but he seems annoying as a person, as do his most rabid fans.

BlackAngel

Hallie Berry.  She was a good actress and won a Emmy for playing Dorathy Danidge (I think).  But after she "felt good" winning the Oscar in Monster's Ball,  she was in nothing but crap: Gothika, and especially Catwoman.

Bulls**t!  I still can't hear you, sound off like you gotta pair.

Denzel Washington - I can;t stand him (except in Training day). In every movie he has the better than you attitude, and to make it worse, he repeats everything, not sure if its teh script or what but here is an example.

Bad Guy: I will kill you!
Denzel: You will kill me?
Bad Guy:  Yes, you are gonna die!
Denzel:  I am gonna die?
Bad Guy: and after you die I will mail your body parts to your parents
Denzel:  Mail my parts to my parents?

Go ahead rent his movies and watch

I'm behind you on that one. The very mention of her name makes my skin crawl. Deffinately one of the worst.

I don't know what the deal is where actors start making crappy movies after winning the Oscar, but it seems to happen all the time.

Prophet Tenebrae

Tom Cruise.

I don't think there are many films when he isn't carried by his supporting cast or in some cases, special effects and good directing.

Really, the test of a good actor is someone who is versatile - most over-rated characters play the same persona film and again.

What about Samuel L. Jackson - is he really good enough for STAR WARS?
Does he fit in the new episodes? I think not - I mean they are bad enough without his face.

Master Blaster

I never thought he was a good actor for the role. He just looks to p**sed off. I would have liked Lawrence Fishburn or better yet Morgan Freeman.

I dont actually know if there overated, but should queen latifah, ll cool j, or drew carey, even be actors?

markaw

should drew carey, LL cool j, and queen latifah. be actors at all?

These days I think almost all actors are overrated and over paid. The way they get fools to spend 9 bucks to see them act is to make them seem better then they are. They're all a bunch of media whores that get depressed the second they're not the center of attention. If they didn't make it in hollywood they'd be the guy at the bar trying to steal everybodys girlfriends or the chick that gives lap dances at some sleezy strip club.

Ed

I'm surprised no one mentioned Keanu Reeves.  He has one emotion: Dull Surprise. and one character Ted Logan.

Anyone who's won an award for playing a retarded guy. Man, *I* could do that. It's easier than doing Shatner or Elvis.

I consider that today's actor and actresses are too overrated. Just mention Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Travolta. Alll no good. They can never be compared with legendaries like Humphrey Bogart or James Cagney. The same goes with actresses. Now, the nunber one overrated actor of all time is Cary Grant. Whoever said that this jerk is the best actor of all time must have been drunk or crazy. Really?
