I'll agree that K. Reeves has some one dementional Acting Skills,.. & His characters have some of the same type roles... But the Guy for Some reason Gets in alot of the Movies I really like the storys for,.. so I kinda like the guy Myself.

I wish these 3 would go away and stay away.

Nick Cage
Christian Slater
Keanu Reeves

Mickey Rourke is an incredibly talented actor.

His first big role in Body Heat was a scene stealer.

His work in Diner was excellent. Pope Of Greenwich Village, outstanding. His performance in Barfly was stellar.

Even Angel Heart had it's moments.

More recently, his turn as Marv in Sin City stole the film.

Very talented guy. Perhaps made a few misteps in his personal life, but that does not discount the quality of his work.

I totally agree.

Rourke was also in alittle Movie Called Spun .
Where He Played a Meth Cooker/Dealer .
He has a Pretty Memorable Scene ,.. in where he is in the Video Rental Place Talking about a certain Body part on a Woman. I laugh outloud everytime I see it.

Sinise is a phenomenal actor but for some reason I just cant get into csi:NY

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

[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.

[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.

[Cosmicman]

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

Go away!!

[megoat]

Rourke played a great Chinaski

For sure.

[BlackKnight]

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.

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

[BlackKnight]

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.
