Worst actor who is successful?

[txteach]

I think the worst (and luckiest) actor I have ever seen is David Caruseau from CSI Miami. That guy has a great part but sucks at acting. An honorable mention is Keneau Reeves. To me the only good acting job he ever did was the matrix.

Other suck actors who make a lot are:
Mickey Rorke
The Olson twins
Jessica simpson ( the girl can't act or sing)


I'm sure there are a lot more. Anyone else think of anyone else?

Great picks (other than Rourke)
Add Sandra Bollock
Matthew McCon

Ahhh Brue my friend. I could not bring myself to include Sandra. I think she is sooo freakin hot.

[Riffster]

Keanu Reeves.. he's a surfer dude not matter what movie he's in

Ashton Kutcher gets a mention too

[Bill]

Rourke played a great Chinaski, and I liked Angel Heart too.
Christian Slater, Keanu Reeves, Sharon Stone, Richard Gere and Tom Cruise, off the top of my head.

[thunderbolt]

Adam Sandler, Wil Smith(I know I'll catch hell for that one)

[The Bat]

Keneau Reeves ROCKS!! He IS Neo!!

Really BAD Actors:

Kevin Costner
Tom Cruise
Richard Gere!!

[fallensaviour]

Wow quite the list I can agree on a couple but Keanu is good and so is Rourke(his best work by far was "a prayer for the dying" and "harley davidson and the marlboro man".

Crap actors who made it
Ashton kutcher
Nicholas cage
wesley snipes
martin sheen bores the crap out of me!!!

And david Caruso is our generations William shatner...Overactor supreme but thats his style.No I'm not a caruso fan but I don't mind him.

Wil Smith(I know I'll catch hell for that one)

Thats the 1st Person I thought of,.. when I read the Thread, Because he is the Highest Paid that Fits the Topic.

.... However with his 2 Recent Movies that I saw,.. I Robot & I am Legend,.. I think the Guy Finally proved he can act a Bit,.. Or Atleast Finally in my eye's to me his Performances seemed Believable to the extent that I bought what they were trying to sell in the Movie.


I also Don't get Mike Myers,... Nore Have I ever thought He was "Funny" to where his ideas & performances deserve what the Guy Gets Paid.

Is that the Guy From CSI Miami ?
He is a Riot ! ... I am compelled to like his style. It's Fantastic.

Rourke played a great Chinaski

For sure.

[Cosmicman]

Michael Myers!!!!
It is not that he is a bad actor. He is a one trick pony.

Go away!!

[Hector]

I don't think Tom Cruise is a bad actor...he just gets a lot of hate because he's such a high profile star and stars in a lot of overblown Hollywood flick...plus his religion doesn't help...and he acts loony in public all the time.

But re-watch Born on the Fourth of July, Rain Man, and Jerry Maguire...he's terrific in all those.

[Hector]

I also disagree on Mickey Rourke...I think he's a good actor...the problem with him is that he's disfigured by all that plastic surgery...and he comes across as spooky now.


I agree on Keanu Reeves though...horrible actor.

[EMCE Hammer]

I love Caruso's over-the-top delivery. I like Cruise and Rourke as actors, and I agree with Hector that the rap on them is more Cruise's scientology and Rourke's freak face. I think an oak log has more range than Reeves. Will Smith and Nick Cage are hit and miss for me.

I'll add:

Anyone who used to be a professional wrestler
Gary Sinese on CSI: NY
The woman on Law & Order SVU
Hayden Christiansen
