Literally everyone in The Greatest Show On Earth.


Holy shite, I remember liking the movie as a kid, and that shows you how stupid kids are. What a terrible movie.

Eric Roberts and Bobby Cannavale are both serial overactors.

The 80's seem to be the golden age of overacting.

Michael Madsen in kill Bill 2 always bothered me, particularly in this scene.



Something about that scene really grinds my gears. The way he keeps moving his eyebrows, overblinking, it always felt like he was trying way too hard here.

Ralph Macchio and Randee Heller playing his mother in The Karate Kid were painful to watch.

I always think Pacino when I think overacting, but he does it in a way that makes me like him.

In watching Travolta in almost anything, for me he always almost immediately eliminates the suspension of reality and I come away seeing a guy spouting lines in front of a camera. Probably just bad acting, not overacting.

Pacino in Scarface might take the all-time prize.

Charlton Heston and especially Betty Hutton. Then again, that's how they did it in those days.

You try being a white mayor in Baltimore and see if you don't overact.
