He is not even worth mentionning as an actor.

Read about Howard Hugues and look at his acting in The Aviator. Great fucking actor in that movie too.

i'm french and he is very famous, however i don't think he is good.
In original version he has always the same caricatural voice.
Same thing for "christian clavier", if you know this guy.
The caricator is like the true guy.

Macaulay Culkin! Wonder what he's doing now?

Tom Hanks
The Terminal & The Da vinci Code are the worst movies I've ever seen and he sucks there

close call between tom hanks and Ben Afleck

ben affleck in every role other than mallrats....

I hate this guy from the bottom of my anus.

For someone to be overrated they must first be rated as being good. That automatically takes out Ben Affleck and Segal. I the male side I'd agree with Russel Crowe...i'm sure there are others.

I totally agree w/ the people that said Drew Barrymore on the female side.

Nicolas Cage is definitely overrated. Some think he's a great actor, but he's been playing the same guy for 30 years.

I actually have seen that many times! I forgot to add hat to the list. :thumbsup

Not with as much enthusiasm

Have to agree there

I give him Dogma too ...other than that you are correct.


When I was a kid I used to watch him in a PBS education series about whales called 'The Voyage of the Mimi'. My mom is a science teacher and we got to meet most of the cast except for him. Now I wish we had gotten his autograph back when he was a kid actor so I could cash it in now before his game is totally up.

> Have to agree there

So you dont think Nicholas Cage was good in "Wild At Heart" ?

As has Mel Gibson

1 character - "My wifes dead and I'm Angry" :mad: :

Mad Max 1-4
Lethal Weapon 1-4
Braveheart
The Patriot
The Payback
Signs...

Did you see Leaving Las Vegas and Bringing Out The Dead?

Tom Cruise - He has never been more than a smile.

Denzel - he is always the same guy, full of him self asshole that thinks the world owes him something (I figure that is pretty much him in real life)

Leo - The poster boy for form above function

Gangs of NY - Daniel Day Lewis Owned that movie, not Leo
Blood Diamond - Have not seen yet
The Departed - This movie pretty much sucked, and on top of that he sure as hell should not have been sharing screen time with Jack
The Man In The Iron Mask - crappy movie where again he was overshadowed by far better actors in lesser roles
The Basketball Diaries - Did not see it
What's Eating Gilbert Grape - Depps movie, ask 100 people that saw the movie 99 will not remember that Leo was in it.

Leo is eye candy for some - nothing more than that will he ever be

lets not forget stallone..you know the guy with the plastic face thats sounds like he has a bang bros cock buried in his mouth while he speaks....

well dang!

Well, he has done porn in his past so I guess you never know.

John Wayne

In order to be OVERrated you must first be RATED. So people like Steven Segal don't count. To me overrated means you are given more redit than you actually deserve. I've never heard anyone glow about Steven Segal's acting abilities. So let's eliminiate action stars and most comedians. I don't expect "acting" in comedies. Now comedians that get into serious acting can count. For example Tom Hanks. Which I think he's very good. In fact one one of the rare people that is equally good at both comedy and serious acting. There are lots of great "actors" that suck at being funny in a movie.

Morgan Freeman seems like a very nice person, but isn't he basically Morgan Freeman in every movie? Probably the one exception is when he played a pimp in Street Smart.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

he's not an actor, he's a clown

Russel Crowe without a doubt.


There's a lot more. Tom Hanks comes to mind.

wow a lot people really aren't digging Tom Hanks

Denzel's performance in Training Day I think made up for a lot of the roles that seemed a bit too similar

ain't that the truth...just be careful who you say it around

Because they are idiots.

What can we conclude from the answers? It is all subjective.

lol, John Wayne playing Ghengis Khan in "The Conqueror".

Ben Affleck gets my vote =))

funny how many of you think Actor means women too.

Agreed.. except Owen Wilson sucks :321GFY

Tom Cruise

I'm always surprised when I see people say DiCaprio is a bad actor. The guy is amazing. People just seem to hate the pretty boys of hollywood. Blood Diamond, The Departed, The Aviator: All good roles that he absolutely nailed.

fair enough:thumbsup

his only good roles are the ones he plays an asshole:)

Just like Hemmingway wasn't REALLY America's greatest author, John Wayne was never REALLY American's greatest actor. He, like Hemmingway, was just the BALLS of the nation for a few generations.

What would you consider to be Hanks' finest role?

A total coincidence I am sure ..lol
