Tobey Maguire in pretty much anything he's ever been in


After a couple of viewings, I actually think he did a really good job with the role of Nick in The Great Gatsby.

He's not how I pictured that character from the book, but he did a good job of portraying the complicated arc of that character from the start to end of the film.

Cage gives fun performances in dumb action movies. Con Air and Face Off aren't high drama.

Any roll where Hillary Swank doesn't play a male or a butch/ lipstick lesbian.

You honestly think Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor and Emperor Palpatine did poorly in that movie?



Do people really think Liam has any range at all? He does what he does well, I suppose, but it's always the same thing.

I take it you were a fan of Gambon's terrible portrayal of Dumbledore? I also take it you did not read the books?

yea, he wasn't much in that movie.

But for some reason, I really like that movie. Busey and Swayze I guess.

Paul Walker in any role he played. RIP.

Don't like talking about dead people, but his acting skills were non-existent.

I think this is the correct answer, but Denise Richards in terms of everything she has done may give her the win.

Will Smith in "The Legend of Bagger Vance"

Basically played Will Smith doing a toned down version of Uncle Remis. Imagine if a Don Cheadle, Idris Elba, or Terrance Howard caliber actor had gotten that role. Solid cast (Lemon, Theron and Damon, plus the 2 guys playing Hagen and Bobby Jones were spot on), attention to detail on a historic period piece, mysticism of the game of golf......could have been the "Field of Dreams" edition of Golf....instead, we get another Will Smith role where he plays Will Smith.

Nevermind, that damn kid actor sucked as well.
