The Bad Actors Thread starring Keanu Reeves!

[Miles Teg]

I'm a heretic. I like Keanu.

Bad Actors: Nicholas Cage, Stallone, Chuck Norris, Seagal. Will Smith oozes charisma, no matter who he plays, but he picks bad movies.

First: Holy thread necromancy!

Second: I have to come to Keanu's defense, if only for his performance in The Gift..

Third: Ben Aflick. Come on, who really thinks he can act? (Or Steve Guttenburg??!)

Has anyone mentioned Pauly Shore yet?

 

[Cu Chulainn]

OK, I have to know, what page was this on before you rez'd it?

Owen Wilson isn't acting he's just being Owen Wilson on camera.
And what's with Will Ferrell: I'm YELLING about EVERYTHING for no good REASON! Don't you think its FUNNY!

 

[GinandTonic]

How can we discuss Keanu's failings as an actor without mentioning Much Ado About nothing? The brit thesps all do their thing, and Denzel Washington shows the yanks can do it too, but Reeves just looks so out of his depth it is painful. The phrase "not in the same league" doesnt even come close.

Pitiful in the literal sense of engendering pity for him.

Dont get me started with Jurassic Park! I mean, how can you possibly mess up such an interesting storyline! Man meeting Dinosaurs! It doesn't get much better than that..... any half decent writer could make interesting scripts for years to come with that material!

Please start - i thought it was amazing!

Has anyone mentioned Pauly Shore yet?

I thought that was a given that he was just terrible, buddy. I could not resist.

 

[holy king]

i think keanu reeves fitted his role in "a scanner, darkly" quite well too...

 

[Winston Hughes]

"You're... the devil?"

So convincing. But only because he genuinely hadn't figured it out already.

Keanu Reeves - the ideal choice for any movie where the lead character can't see the twist coming, despite it being flagrantly obvious to everyone else.

I thought Ben Affleck was the incarnation of all bad actors?

Other than me spelling his name wrong, we have something we agree on!!

Other notable bad actors and actresses: Roseanne, Ashton Kutcher, The Home Alone fella.. something Culkin.

I always liked Keanu's acting, he's not a dramatic actor, is an actor that comes off as a regular guy. Makes me relate more.

Now Nicholas Cage? That guy is a dead head. He has the talent of a rock in water.
