Man, I think I am 0-2 on people I don’t think are that bad because I really liked Naomi Watt’s in The Painted Veil. Honestly, I can’t remember seeing her in anything else though.
If you don’t like Jack Sparrow then your opinion is meaningless. 
deleted, my bad!
And he was good in that series!!!
Furthermore, I saw Caruso in an early episode of Miami CSI (or whatever it’s called).
On that very same show, there was another NYPD Blue graduate - I call her tits because on NYPD, she like to put her hands on her hips and stick, ger tits out. She was a detective. She has an Irish name, as I recall.
Anyway, in this early episode, Caruso plays it straight - no Sunglass gestures, no ridiculous poses, no cornfuckingball, heavyhanded line delivery. He was believable. Good, in fact.
Then as time passed, the money factor took control, hammed the whole production up, and dumbed it down for the assholes of the world to watch in adoration.
Months ago, I started a thread here denouncing Caruso, and I’m sorry I did. He’s probably quite uncomfortable acting way below his standards.
Ah, but the money’s great.
This whole thread, and nobody’s mentioned Elisabeth Rohm?
She is the David Caruso of the Law & Order franchise!
“Is it because I’m a lesbian?”
Yeah, I agree. I haven’t seen EP but she was great in that scene.
I’ll strongly second Nicolas Cage and Kevin Costner and raise you Robin Williams.
**Demi Moore **out sucks everyone mentioned so far. (Except Madonna who isn’t really an actress.)
Every time he does the sunglasses bit I think of Robert Stack in “Airplane”.
Caruso is the absolute worse!
Will Ferrell. Start with a really unfunny line, and then scream it at the top of your lungs. He’s completely unwatchable.
Well he did play Hamlet
I despise the Pirates movie with the the heat of a nova; not even Kira Knightley can save them. But I enjoy Depp’s performance as Sparrow.
She was pretty bad in King Kong and absolutely phoned it in in The Ring 2 (I know, I know, my fault for watching that one.)
But yes, Eastern Promises was what I was thinking of. Her suckage was a particularly flagrant offense because of how good that movie would’ve been without her.
It was “fun” in the first movie. It wore thin in the second. It was annoying as fuck in the third.
I really should have said that I enjoyed the first one. I was unable to make it through the second. But not because of Depp.
Does Not!Legolas die in the third one? I ask hopefully, of course.
Oh hells, YEAH. I was bored and watching Ghost on TV once, and she was so awful. She made Swayze look like Brando. And she’s gorgeous, but after watching her act, it just made her look a lot less better in my eyes.
I don’t know. I sold my soul to the devil in exchange for getting rid of my memory of that movie.
Demi is not so bad ,but she chooses movies like she is retarded.
Tom Cruise in this thread? He’s a decent actor, above average at least. He’s just looney tunes IRL, is all. He doesn’t make the top echelon because, as someone said, he’s never really able to disappear into the role, but few actors can.
Demi Moore sold me on G.I. Jane, though Striptease was an abomination and I haven’t seen her in anything else.
Andie McDowell worked well enough in Groundhog Day, but everything else she’s been in has produced pretty crappy performances. She’s a good candidate, which is a shame, considering the fact that I think she was one of the prettiest women in Hollywood (though yeah, she just projects blandness when she acts).
Keanu is probably spared the title considering his acting style being fine for movies like The Matrix and even The Devil’s Advocate. His brief role in Dangerous Liaisons was comically bad, which just happens whenever he strays from his narrow range.
Will Ferrell would have won the title in my mind if it were not for Stranger Than Fiction. He has the potential to pull off a Jim Carrey by getting away from his unfunny comedy and doing drama well.
Jennifer Aniston knows her limits and does OK in most of her roles.
I would like to nominate someone like Molly Shannon (or any of the SNL crew, actually, since most of them are just horribly unfunny), but most of them just aren’t really all that successful on the big screen, Ferrell notwithstanding.
As for Scarlett Johanssen, she was good in Lost in Translation, which automatically disqualifies her. And she’s abso-freaking drop-dead beautiful, so stop hating. 
**Kevin Smith **is a pretty awful actor, but I guess it’s good he only ever plays Silent Bob. Still, his expressions and gestures are just exaggerated and unfunny; I know he’s supposed to be a straight man to Jay’s schtick, but he’s not a very good one.
Meh, I don’t know who to pick.
Rob Schneider, Rob Schneider, Rob Schneider. Man, I can’t believe I’m the only one who’s mentioned him before.
