Shit acting

It's not very often I watch something and think "wow, he/she's really shit at acting".

But I've seen a few things now with this one particular guy in them. First it was Green Street, then it was Queer as Folk (yes, I've seen Queer as Folk, get over it Whittam) and last night I thought I'd finally give in and watch an episode of Sons of Anarchy to see what all the fuss is about. That's right, I'm talking about Charlie Hunnam.

He really is rubbish. Absolutely rubbish. His accent is constantly all over the place, he looks completely out of his depth in just about everything he does. He's just crap. Yet he's probably one of the biggest actors on the planet.

Have you ever wondered what all the fuss is about with a certain actor or actress?

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Clive 'I'll sleep when I'm dead' Owen are the two who spring to mind. Awful. They make Dorian Dervite look almost competent at his trade.

Depp and Brando. These two aren't bad though.

Rob Schneider- Ruined every Adam Sandler movie he appeared in, even the ones ruined by having Adam Sandler in.

John Travolta- In the People Vs OJ Simpson his face didn't move, but that might not have been through choice.

Gerrard Butler- Gets jobs because he is good looking, couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.

Bill Roache - Stolen a living for over 60 years in one job. (Quite impressive now that I think about it.)

Keanu Reeves - Played himself in (the excellent) Bill & Ted films and then somehow started getting actual acting jobs.

Couldn't agree more. Totally wooden and one dimensional. I really cant see what all the fuss is about apart from his substantial quiff.

I thought that was pretty much all of the actors on Coronation Street.

Hunnam isn't the greatest actor but he actually grew on me as the show developed. I have seen a lot worse and I thought Sons of Anarchy was a quality series.

Anyone in Hollyoaks. Breadman watches that you know.

The girl in Hollyoakes who plays Siennas daughter is the worst actress ever. I only watch it because my girlfriend does.

John Wayne

Roger Moore

David Caruso

Nicolas Cage

Russell Brand

I agree about Green St Doffy, but Charlie Hunnam was excellent in Sons of Anarchy and the series is one of my favourites

this may be controversial but i'm not a fan of Gary Oldman, he always overacts in everything (remember Leon?)
I also hate Adam Sandler, the worst actor in the known universe and his films are all without exception, utter shit

Sacrilege.

Agree on Nicholas "my uncles a famous director" Cage
Mel Gibson in all films, peaking with the famous Australian/Scottish fusion accent in Braveheart
You could pick anyone from Emmerdale/Eastenders/Corrie. Never seen Hollyoaks.
Arnold Schwarzenneger in anything that involves speaking

Vinnie Jones especially in Mean Machine where he played  a footballer, he couldn't do that convincingly

You might like his films (and some of them like The Searchers are great) but no way could Wayne act. If you disagree I suggest you try watching The Conqueror.

Kevin Costner is pretty bad.

Do you really think anyone is surprised by this revelation?
