MOST OVERRATED ACTOR

[Hollow Man]

Chris Walken

Oh man... I love Christopher Walken. I had a girlfriend who used to be terrified of him.

 

[BassGod]

Ben Stiller is terrible and not funny. And Mel Gibson is highly overrated IMO. Also, I never really found Mike Myers to be that funny.

See? What has Walken ever done in a serious role that was worthwhile? Honestly, he's such a bad actor that I find his comedy stuff funny. The only reason he's funny on SNL is he screws up the phrasing on everything because he's reading cue cards constantly. And when he's "serious" he brings that quality into the work. I've never seen any good acting come out of him. (He was OK in Pulp Fiction, but once again... funny_

All of them.

I just about agree. The vast majority of movies, the parts could be played by almost anyone, including most amateurs, and the movie would be the same. Only once in a while does the acting matter. Casting is mostly based on who is good at having acting careers, not who is good at acting.

 

[The Mock Turtle Regulator]

Johnny Depp.
=pretty boy cheekbones, that's all.

as for his ad-libbed quote from Jaws in Blow "we need a bigger boat"

and a cringesomely bad cameo appearance in the Fast Show.

 

[Matt Till]

But damn, those are some cheekbones, eh.


On Walken Bashing: Cowbell sketch... waayyyyyyyyyyyyaayayyay overrated.

 

[Vorago]

I've always found Keanu Reeves a terrible actor. He has 4 emotions:

Dead
Trying not to look dead (anything else)
Dead with sunglasses
Trying not to look dead with sunglasses

 

[ChiliPepper]

Ben Affleck

imo most hollywood stars are overrated...

 

[FenderBender]

Touby Maguire......Yechhhhh!!!

I have hated every role he's ever played. Spiderman.... more like Wormboy!!!!

Matt Till See? What has Walken ever done in a serious role that was worthwhile?

"The Deer Hunter"

 

[Muzique Fann]

"The Deer Hunter"

Nick of Time is a good little flick w/ Walken & Depp - serious too.

I cannot watch movies with John Cusak in them, he's such a disaster.

 

[Lackey]

I agree with Keanu and Costner, but Walken?!! Please... Actually I happen to like most of the others mentioned such as Hanks, Depp, Cage.

I think Morgan Freeman is underrated, and Edward Norton should be getting the attention of Brad Pitt.

 

[Phil Mastro]

Ben Affleck
Colin Farrel
Russell Crowe

 

[MJ5150]

Jim Carey

Oh yeah...you Nicholas Cage haters will burn with the Walken haters.

[sargebaker]

I kind of agree with Walken...So he talks funny....I agree with Matt Till and the what has he done in a seirous role thing.

Depp..is just great. I mean really what can't he act? He's so versatile and convincing in his roles it's almost scary. I think he's for sure te one person who is the farthest from overrated these days.

Tom Hanks is top notch too!

What does René being ugly have to do with her acting abilities?

I agree on Keanu, Ben (even though I used to like him).

Matt Damon was a little unimpressive in Bourne Supremacy.

 

[dls59]

"The Deer Hunter"

+100000000000000

 

[dls59]

Harrison Ford is the WORST!!!!!!!

 

[KeithPas]

Totally agree on Julia Roberts.
Hugh Grant - if he played in something other than a romantic comedy I might cut him some slack. Besides, who in their right mind cheats on Elizabeth Hurly?
I'll think of more later.

I have no freakin idea, thats what I asked myself when I saw his mug along with that prostitute on TV. He's ok if he sticks with the romantic comedy stuff, I saw him in a thriller once and it was pretty bad.

 

[philiprst]

Jack Nicholson.

I agree Morgan Freeman is underated.

 

[Aaron]

Have any of the walken haters seen deer hunter?

The two big ones for me are Affleck and Ben Stiller.
A lot of mel gibson's acting makes me cringe.
