Remember when he had that commission from the JPSO and that "Reality" tv show "Lawman" based out of Jefferson Parish?

That was some sad shite. The guy is so full of himself it is mind-boggling nobody calls him out on it.

Patrick Fugit. He was in Almost Famous and White Oleander. I think his last role was in First Man as one of the astronauts that were killed. He always seems half a beat slow and not very animated. He's kind of an everyman stereotype. I just looked him up and he's been in a bunch of other movies and TV. I didn't have any idea.

I still see this guy occasionally in my Harmons grocery store in SLC. He's always with who I thought was his girlfriend, but his GF is Asian looking. So I'm guessing maybe that its his sister.

I think this thread made me lose hope for humanity.

Brad Pitt, Clint Eastwood, Don Cheadle, Will Smith have all been named as Actors who are “really bad” at their job….

Gal Gadot in Death on the Nile. Easily the worst acting I’ve seen by a mainstream actress in years.


I tried to watch this last night and I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes because of her. It's like Hollywood has a lottery and whoever gets picked is going to be made a star regardless of talent. That girl simply can't act

Lucas Black, I just don't get it


I think he did well in Friday night lights, Legion, and the little boy in sling blade. But if you’re going off of NCUS New Orleans, that whole show sucks.

But who are some that are legitimately bad at acting? People that stand out as bad in most everything they do.


Tony Danza. Matt Leblanc. Chuck Norris. Steven Segall. The muscles from Brussels...... I could go on forever.

I don’t think Harrison Ford is a very good actor either.

Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford. You have about the worst takes that I have seen on here. Just terrible.

How has this thread gone 5 pages with no mention of January Jones?

She could kinda sorta make the spoiled Betty Draper character work early on in Mad Men but fell apart when the character changed later.

And January Jones as Frost in X-men First Class was bad bad bad.

Haven’t heard or thought about that show for years. But I loved it growing up.

Terrible take. She was a force in Devil Wears Prada, could do the adventurous role in River Wild. Was creepy in Manchurian Candidate. Etc. And I’m not even a big Streep honk.

She's a great actress but there's something that's not always natural with her. She's like a guitar player that hits all the right notes but never looks up from the fret board and feels what they're playing

I remember Tony Bruno saying that somewhere there was a grocery store stock boy smoking weed in the back room of the store, and he was still better at his job than Keanu Reeves.

Sometimes it is just hit and miss. I think Jon Ham usually does a decent job, but there were a few scenes in Mad Men where it sounded like he was literally just reading his lines. Then I thought he was really good in Good Omens.

Agreed. All actors can be bad with the right motivation (I'm just doing this for the cash.) I caught De Niro once in a film called Red Lights. His "acting" towards the end of the film is B-movie, direct-to-video, Earnest Scared Stupid-level bad.
