MOST OVERRATED ACTOR

About Nick Cage... I don't think it has anything to do with his acting, but I've loved every movie I've seen with him in it. He just has a habit in starring in movies that I enjoy.
And Walken isn't overrated; he's just overrated on TB.

What turns me off from him in roles where he isn't playing some HST/Keith Richards hybrid is that he seems to lack nuance. I was pretty unimpressed in his roles in Blow, Gilbert Grape, Chocolat, and Donnie Brasko. I wouldn't say they were complete crap, but just nothing special, especially for how much credit he is given. The only characters that he seems to play well are really quirky and over-the-top, which probably cover up his lack of nuance (i.e. Ed Wood, Fear and Loathing, Pirates of the Carribean.)
I get told I look like Mr Depp quite often (though not as much as a few years ago) so he is not overrated... he brings me chicks 
Angelina Jolie I have never been a fan of, though she is a good actor, I find her overrated
IMO so don't hate me (though I accept hate for disliking Bongos... just had to get some anti-bongo in here)

Nicholas cage was great in "Leaving Las Vegas", but he's also made some terrible ones, "Face Off" comes to mind.
Tom Cruise has to take the cake though.......maybe I'm just jealous 'cause he gets the most amazing women....
Patrick Swaze is pretty awful too.

Pfft...like that was a serious role. Really though, unless you've seen that movie, I wouldn't be too confident about your knowledge of Walken as an actor. He does more than talk funny.
Julia Roberts is the biggest one for me...I can't stand that lady.

From what I remember: He did ride his own motorcycle and dide his own stunts until one time he wrecked and punctured his lung. After that, he refused to do any stunts, which is one of the reasons why CHiPs was elevated to a new level of lameness (and it was pretty damn lame to begin with).

Relax, man. If it wasn't for his super-intellect, Miami wouldn't solve a crime. The network apparently feels pretty highly of him. His coworkers aren't even that, they're all subservient to his all-powerful character. The usual plot? 12 murders in one day. Curuso shows up and solves 10 of them before the opening credits finish. The 11th is accidentally solved mid way throught the show after one of the morons catches their own mistake. Curuso solves the 12th about 45 minutes into the show (but he's had a hunch since the first commercial break)...leaving 15 minutes for a climactic chase and Curuso reasserting his intellect as he explains to the criminal how dumb they are. End with a wry smile and another question about whether his brother is really a cross-dresser or an alien from the galaxy Andromeda.
