Worst Actor - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

BookStop · 8th May 2009, 12:48 PM

And not just worst actor overall, but worst actor who gets props as if they were amazing.

Tied for the boys side: Keanu Reeves and William Hurt - dead eyes, no emotion in thier voices, yet sooo popular, and the much less popular but still working Matthew McConaughey

Girls: Beyonce, although she is a singer first, Molly Ringwald, Winona Ryder

Male: Matthew McConaughey definitely. Any of the martial art action heros: Van Damme, Segal, Norris.

Female: Madonna

Ooh crikey,where to start!
That Segal bloke in those naff action movies!
One dimensional and doesn't look believable as a fit action dude.
Chuck Noriss. Suffers from the same disease as Mr Segal.

Yeah I have to agree with Keanu, he is pretty to look at (IMO) but unless it is a californian surfer dude or a emotionless alien then he is pretty average.

I would say Madonna but she never gets props for being a good actress. I think in this instance Nicole Kidman would be the worst.

Yep, Keanu would get a vote from me, too. More wooden than a pile of kindling in a teak box.

Worst actress...Demi Moore. Dreadful. Utterly, utterly dreadful.

Dishonourable mentions also to John Travolta and Drew Barrymore.

John Travolta wasn't always bad - Grease is the word

I'm amazed no-one's mentioned Hayden Christensen...

Nicholas Cage, i'll say no more as this is a family forum!

Sarah Jessica Parker, I mean come on!!!!

Duchessprozac · 8th May 2009, 11:32 PM

I'm going to go for Ben Affleck. I think it was Bill Bailey who said he had a constant look of wondering if it he'd left the back door open. Which really does sum up the guy's acting talents.

Obviously alot of it depends in what they are asked to do in a movie. I really don't think much of either Keanu Reeves and Nicholas Cage is average at best, yet I hav seen them in the odd movie where they have been very good.
Yes Demi Moore is up there amongst the worst of the women too.

Teresa Edgerton · 9th May 2009, 01:23 AM

Keanu Reeves for the men, and Keira Knightley for the women.

Cage isn't a good actor, but there's just something about his style that makes me like (some) of his movies.

AE35Unit · 9th May 2009, 01:53 PM

Cage has done some fine movies(Raising Arizona,Next,Bangkok Dangerous) and some turkeys(Con Air,that Las Vegas Elvis thing)
But the man is the uncle of a screen legend! Never knew that till recently!
