Whose the popular actor?

[Hammerlock3]

While we're at it who is the worst actor/actress? I'm saying Laura Linney. She has no range, and is bad at what she does.

She was pretty good in Congo. Which is available for free on YouTube.

She was really good in the John Adams mini series.   I was impressed.

If you want a real example of bad actor it is Keanu Reeves and Kevin Costner.   Terrible.   Costner has had some decent movies, but his acting in Robin Hood was incredibly bad.   Reeves, I understand is a very decent and nice man, but that does not mean he is a good actor.   Vin Diesel is also among this crowd.

Controversial and going against the grain but my pick is Tommy Wiseau.  Many believe he's the GOAT

She was very good in the John Adams series.  I aboslutley love that series.  Binge it on most Fourth of July's (however this year I'll be partying to Stick Figure and Stephen Marley in Palm Beach....maybe I'll stop by Mar-a Lago ).  I thought she was pretty good in Primal Fear as well.   

 

I'm with you on Keanu Reeves, but not so much on Kevin Costner.  I like his work, although he doesn't really fit in the wide range of characters.  Even his character in Tin Cup feels a lot like JFK to me, but I still think he does a good job at what he does.  

I mean....Yellowstone.  Come on!!!

Again, Costner is hit and miss for me.   Wehn he is bad, he is bad.   When he is good, he's ok.   I don't avoid films with him, I just laugh at his attempts to do anything other than Keven Costner.   I love Robin Hood, but he was horrendous in it.  Tried an accent and then dropped it.   Really poor performance.   However, Alan Rickman and Morgan Freeman were really good in it.   Heck, John Little's wife was better than Costner.   Just my opinion.

Sylvester Stallone is a contender.

 Chuck Noris.

Chuck Norris can't act.  But he can do many incredible things.

Chuck Norris CAN divide by zero.

Not saying I don't really like THIS actor either, but he's the same guy every time... Denzel Washington. 

Just levels of drunk while being able to be righteous...usually. When he's the bad guy, it's mostly the same. But...he's almost always the same. But, the guy makes it work.

I like Denzel.   But you might be right about that.   I have not made that observation.   Costner, Cruise yes.   Depp is an example of an actor with range.  He does quirky really well, but I think he is really good.   Charlize Theron does a good job with range as well.  But that's just me.

I was gonna say Cruise as he's just been playing the same role for the last 25 years... but I think he CAN play better roles. Risky Business, a Few Good Men(I could watch that movie every night).

But I've definitely thought about him for a while. Also, it's hard to watch Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise if you've read a Jack Reacher book. 

You picture...well, the guy who plays Reacher in the TV show. 6'5 just Tony Mandrich type guy(the roided up one)!

You can't flip that 6'5 for 5'6 and take it as serious. Plus, now I think of Xenu or whatever and it's...even sillier.
