Of the top of my head, I’ll say Thora Birch and Chris Pine.
Oh, and Scarlett Johannson also belongs in this thread. Great looking gal, but she really brings the hickory.
Rebecca Pidgeon was the first actress I thought of.
I haven’t seen her mentioned in this thread but I remember other “bad actor” threads where the blonde woman who was the assistant DA on “Law & Order” a few years back got dumped on. (I can’t remember her name now - she was the one who turned out to be a surprise lesbian in her last episode.)
I need to go check out IMDB to see who this “Lindsay Crouse” is that everyone’s talking about.
“A man’s got to know his limitations.”
Nicole Kidman.
Yuck, I just can’t watch her in anything. She has that one stupid look on her face, always!
Maybe it’s botox or maybe she’s an alien, but, for me she is the poster child for wooden!
Yep, I think Nicole Kidman’s a horrible actor, but what sent me to haterville for her was her stupid defense of smoking. Blech.
I like Keanu Reeves, as unpopular a sentiment as that is 'round these parts. Yes, he’s somewhat oak imbued, but I’ll watch anything he’s in… which probably says more about me than him. 
That was Elisabeth Rohm– excellent choice, BTW.
And she looks a lot like Julia Stiles, another wood faced actress.
[Total hijack]
Total hijack for which I apologize, but when I see ads like that I wonder ‘why?’. I can understand if Burt Reynolds or Sherman Hemsley or Ed McMahon or some other celebrity with well documented money problems did them, but Wagner inherited millions from his family, he earned millions from his [del]acting[/del] movies and TV shows, and he invested well, he’s almost always on the lists of richest men in Hollywood with a 9 figure fortune- the point is he does not need the money. Which makes me wonder, why does he do cheesy commercials? Ditto William Shatner- there was a time when he was broke that he’s discussed at length in memoirs and talks, but for the last 30 years he’s been a millionaire many times over from Trek and his other projects- yet not only does he do commercials he does particularly cheesy ones (“Use the law firm of Your Name Here for $10,000 to prove you were injured even though you weren’t in the car”).
Cher did that godawful infomercial for hair car products but that’s becausethe owner of the services was a friend and she didn’t really understand it was going to be on late night 5 times per night for the next 3 years. These others new what they were doing.

IIRC, Spider Robinson wrote, “They could come in handy this winter, cut down to stove length”.
David Caruso and the entire cast of CSI Miami.
You left out Frailty. A great role in a great movie.
Caruso wins, yes. (But isn’t it weird how he wasn’t wooden in NYPD Blue?)
So doesn’t this mean that Mamet is somehow complicit? Does he simply love wooden actresses or does he actually create them?
Zooey Desch…whatshername. Holy Og, she has two looks, both of which make her look like a yap dog on Lithium.
Also, Big Love.
Bill Paxton is an excellent actor. He might come off as wooden because the characters that he plays are often pretty one-dimensional. But that’s not his acting, that’s just how the characters are supposed to be. Big Love is proof that Paxton has the skills to pull off serious acting - a show centering around the micro-economy of a family’s day-to-day life, 80% of which takes place inside a suburban home and concerns the most mundane domestic tasks, managed to be one of the most riveting, tense and suspenseful shows on television! And it’s in no small part because of Paxton, and Chloe Sevigny and Jeanne Tripplehorn.
And The Dark Backward, which is just weird.
Here’s the House of Games trailer so you can get a glimpse of her excellent range. 
Sadly only my complete agreement.
But if it were to be a monetary value you could buy a nice boat 
I’ll see your Denise Richards and raise you one Casper Van Dien. Horrible.
I’ve made my picks, but I’ll also commit some Hollywood heresy and say that Gary Cooper was a mighty oak.
