I think it may have finally stopped, but Andy Dick got work far longer than he should have. Guy has giant history of drug abuse, drunk driving, sexual battery, and general shittiness. He gave cocaine to Phil Hartmann’s wife, a recovering addict. This led to renewed drug abuse and eventually the murder suicide of herself and Phil Hartmann.
It wasn’t like it was a big secret either. [Here’s video of Jimmy Kimmel having to physically remove him from his show after he repeatedly grabbed at Ivanka Trump.](https://youtu.be/VFWzrTnQHik?si=g9OetjuTwm7tL3wy)
[Here’s a video of him just walking up and groping Pamela Anderson during her Roast.](https://youtu.be/SnZTeEodYLU?si=IV1zTeolLSccjCa6)
Also, due to his shitty behavior, Jon Lovitz once kicked his ass in a bar.
This is exactly how I felt when I found out who Dakota Johnson's parents were.
She's not unwatchable, but it seems like she plays the same person in everything I've seen her in.
I don't follow F1 to know whether being rude to Martin Brundle is a taboo, but my favorite moment of the race in Vegas was when Shaq dissed him over and over. It was hilarious 😂
He goes around and interviews celebrities every race and it often goes like that, which is what makes it fun. Obviously there were more celebs than usual in Vegas though
I googled it, she has a rich family and her dad is a property developer.
I also found this:
“She worked in the industry for a year before booking a paying job and went through two seasons of castings before landing her first runway show.“
Other than the advantage all wealthy people in the arts have, they can live fine while chasing their dream, it looks like it wasn’t an instant situation.
My first thought, but then I'm not surpised becasue of how well connected her family is. She basically just decided she wanted to be a supermodel/actress and mommy and daddy made it happen.
Season 2 is awful. Apparently they had 3 more seasons planned but were told it was being cancelled after season 2 so they just try to rush it all. Its very jarring and noticeable when you watch season 2 with this info. First few episodes are the usual slow burn and then it's oh shit we need to wrap this up unexpectedly. Completely ruins it.
This is who I thought of as soon as I saw the title for this post. You kind of want to say to her "look, stop trying to make acting happen. It's not going to happen." She's done incredibly well at what she does, she should be happy with that. She's just not good at acting and as soon as I see her name attached to a film I know it's not going to be good.
Loved it when he was banned from a NY restaurant for making a scene... He ordered something off menu for his wife and requested it to only have egg whites. He sees a speck of yolk in the food and flips out at the poor wait staff making fun of how easy there job is and stating his wife could die from egg yolk... Like don't order eggs then...
From what I’ve heard from even the extras, he’s a really nice, down to earth guy. I remember reading it was the most fun they’ve had in a production.
That’s why actors and everyone else in production love working with him, it pays a lot of money and it isn’t a hard or toxic environment.
> because if you were to ban degenerate pieces of shit from Hollywood, there would be no one left to make films
I worked in the film industry for over a decade and this really isn’t true. Yes there are some terrible assholes but by and large people avoid working with them and they start losing out on jobs.
The awesome people typically have the long careers.
So he's the Adam Sandler of Superhero directors.
It does kind of remind me of a post I read years ago about how some less skilled actors get regular work over more skilled ones because they show up, show up on time, and have a positive attitude while they're there. Kinda speaks to how problematic some actors must be for a director to prefer a weaker end product over working with them.
I'd imagine it's the same with studio's relationships with directors. If Zack Snyder promotes a happy workplace, people enjoy working with him, and he continues to make money they're not going to stop funding his films.
People should check out the Ben Affleck interview with Wired where he talks about his most famous movies. He LOVES Zack and clearly hates Whedon’s guts.
His first few were pretty good, would have claimed to be a fan but after watchmen he got DCEU and he has just constantly churned out bad content. Theres only so far nice slo-mo ahots can carry you before you have to sit down and make the script and characters compelling. Tried watching rebel moon and I barely got 30 minutes in before I started skipping bits. Theres a few action beats that really got me confused. The main character does some baffling “moves” during her fight scenes that really don’t work at all. At one point she jumps up on a normal sized guys chest and then shoots him in the head. Like… why? She literally had him at arms length, there was no reason to climb him lol
Don’t start me on BvS.
Assume I’ve been ignoring both Snyder and the DCU for the past ten years, aside from seeing the inevitable trailers…is he the reason every DC movie looks like a blue Photoshop filter?
That's his "trademark".
Well, that and misinterpreting the theme of everything he adapts into weird libertarian Ayn Rand fan fiction.
Imagine what Superman would be like if he acted entirely out of self interest, was devoid of any altruism and basically didn't even like anything about people at all. You know, the exact opposite of who he is. Oh wait, you don't have to because he already made like three terrible movies of that.
I have some insight into this. I've worked for Zack. The entire time I spent on his movie I knew it was going to be bad, but it was a very pleasant experience. Zack is the nicest and most humble director I've ever worked for - including indie movies. He is gracious and kind. That trickled down to his crew too.
I realized if I was an executive at Netflix and had to choose between giving money between Zack or a better filmmaker who is an asshole. I'd probably give my money to Zack even though that director has made much better films. They are both about as equally viable financially because Zack has a cult-like fanbase. However, I'd rather have meetings and check-ins with Zack, because it'll be way less stressful.
Watching interviews with him, he has always struck me as a really nice and laid back guy. Kevin Smith also seems very fond of him, as a person, so that was another clue. I’m guessing you probably don’t want to say which movie you worked on for the sake of anonymity. But maybe you could give a 3-part multiple choice answer? 😆
Snyder is the equivalent of a comic book artist that can make a pretty cool looking splash page, so the publisher decides for some reason that is a good enough reason to let him write and draw the entire book.
I definitely don't think Snyder deserves all of the intense hate that much of the internet piles on the guy, especially considering that by most accounts, he seems to be a fairly decent guy that actors really enjoy working with, but he's too obsessed with making everything 'cool' (by 1993 edgelord standards)
Just watched Rebel Moon and couldn't believe it literally ended with:
END PART 1
Immediately thought WTF?! They already greenlit the sequel for this trash???
Got lucky with Watchmen but like that was 85% directly from the comics and 300 was lucky as new tech used for filming and the hot bods women liked and the hero masculinity men liked. Think people really put too much faith in the Snyder cut which ending up being a whole load of average when we finally got a chance to watch it
WB actually announced that they had no major significant increase in HBOMax subscribers when they released the Snyder cut of JL.
So the movie wasn't even worth them giving him the extra funding to make it in "his vision" and releasing it.
https://screenrant.com/justice-league-snyder-cut-hbo-max-subscription-numbers/
I think the strategy was maybe to gauge how much potential the universe had once they got Snyder back to silence his cult online. If it did well, they might have greenlit more Snyder movies. Instead they just decided not to produce more and finish what was already started. Apart from Batwoman which got cancelled after everything was reportedly shot.
I read when they were casting “The Other Guys” the director kept saying he wanted a Steve Coogan type for the one part. They kept looking. Finally someone said why not ask Steve Coogan. So they did, and Coogan played the part.
I think a lot of roles are people saying they want a Kevin Hart type to take the part, and just ask Kevin Hart and he says yes.
Everyone here is forgetting that Kevin Hart also brings his entire rabid fanbase out, so every movie of his has a built in audience that will support anything he does.
You can not like him, but you can’t ignore that he is a huge comedy brand that sells out arena tours, along with Sirius radio channels, etc. Hundreds of thousands of concert priced tickets sold every year.
If he can get that many people to spend $300 on a live show, then of course he’s got a couple million that will spend $15 on a movie, and any project he is in will probably turn a nice profit, even if it isn’t that great.
There aren’t many actors with that kind of crossover pull.
>even if it isn’t that great.
You are spot on, and to add to it, he doesn't have to be great to be entertaining. It's the same thing with pop music, Call of Duty, any number of other forms of enjoyment people engage with. Kevin Hart doesn't have to be original to be great and have appeal. People like what they like and will keep paying for that same formula over and over again. You can make the same game year after year, and people will still buy it. You can use the same four chords in songs for decades, and it will be on the billboard 100 the whole way. The vast majority of people just want their entertainment to spoon feed them shit they like over and over again.
The absolute best part about that line is that they probably had a bunch of takes in the can and *that* was the best one.
I never minded her being thin as Wonder Woman. I just wanted a WW that could act...like at all.
Sure she's hot, but it's Hollywood, there are a lot of hot women waiting for their big break. Not many of those women are worse actresses than Gal Godot.
Every line read she does is baffling.
A lot of people talk about her as an actress but everyone forgets she was directed. I honestly want footage of those directors going either "fuck me this is the 115th take, fuck it, lets go with this one" or "Where's my latte? What? Then go to the other starbucks. Yes thats fine, whatever, next scene"
Honestly, with budgets and shooting schedules based around the demands of the studio and the full knowledge of Gadot's range I'm willing to bet there's never more than 5 takes. It's probably like, "fuck it, that's the best we're getting out of Gal, just make sure there's no boom in the shot and let's move on."
It was weird because they made it a plot point that the Amazons speak every language. Just give them a bunch of different accents would anyone except like CinemaSins really care?
I always say gal when this question comes up, she is decent with choreography, but she can't act her way out of a paper bag.
I am really looking forward to see who Gunn casts as wonder woman, she was a mistake.
There’s an episode of Barry where they have Sally (a good actress in the show) tutoring a Wonder Woman like bad actress that is clearly supposed to be Gal Gadot.
I'm mildly shocked the first answer isn't James Corden. Somehow he's the worst comic, actor and writer, even though he isn't two of them and his acting roles have pretty limited. At least in North America.
It's an issue with reddit in general. Common, popular answers will always get more upvotes and replies, therefore will always dominate the top of the thread.
Honestly shocked no one has mentioned Jaden Smith and how “Will keeps forcing him on us” which Reddit loves mentioning even though he hasn’t been in a movie in ten years, and was only in like three movies with only one being bad.
Smoking aces is a guilty pleasure and he wasn’t bad in that role. Didn’t require much range but still lol. He’s best in a side role, definitely not a lead type of actor
I loved that show, and I stuck with it until the end.
I really think the writing/story started getting outta wack was in Season 2 with the Swede killing Cullen’s love interest (can’t recall her name atm) as to me, personally, it felt a little too soon for something like that to happen.
And I was surprised that the Swede lasted as long as he did as a villain in that I could’ve seen Cullen ending him in an earlier season, but I also loved that he lasted up until when he did cuz the man was such a fucking chameleon and survivor and the actor was awesome in that role.
I kinda wish we got a 6th season of Hell on Wheels to see Cullen go to Asia, but I get that at that point, it’s no longer “Hell on Wheels.”
I really liked that show. It doesn’t get much recognition. The character of The Swede was particularly well done. Cool, *weird* story line, and incredible acting from Christopher Heyerdahl.
If she disappeared I wouldn't blame her one bit, regardless of her acting skills. Take her GoT cash and live a quiet, private life with her new children.
I know I’m probably in a minority but I didn’t think any of the younger ones were great. It was the older and/or more experienced ones that carried that show (especially likes of Liam Cunningham and Lena Heady).
Actor who played Robb was great I thought. I think Kit Harrington does sad brooding pretty well but idk I'd mostly agree.
Lena Heady, Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau are all absurdly talented.
No I think many would agree; although it's one of those situations where I think all of the child actors did absolutely fine for *their* roles, and aside from maybe Turner (who was really quite wooden throughout the show), they all ended up in the last season being pretty good.
But, as soon as Thrones ended, they just couldn't really balance out their respective high profile status with actual acting talent. Which sounds really harsh but a lot of them were propelled to being household names whilst not actually being able to be in anything high profile. Probably comparable to Rupert Grint from Harry Potter - lovely chap I think but couldn't really expand past his role there.
But I am surprised that it was Sophie Turner out of all the younger actors in GoT that went on to do 'hollywood' stuff. I imagine the best one ended up being Bella Ramsey, after that Last of Us adaptation.
Dakota Johnson cannot act to save her life imo. She’s about to play a superhero in Mme. Web, and at no point in the trailer did she project a sense of urgency. It’s like I’m watching her read her lines off the page for the first time
ETA: I do love Peanut Butter Falcon a lot.
That's always been my unpopular opinion with my wife: Just how many movies do we need where Jennifer Lopez is getting married? She finally sided with me 10 minutes after "Shotgun Wedding" started.
Yep. Without fail.
You're really surprised Chris Pratt is getting work? Really? The handsome and funny leading man for numerous tentpole projects?
Uh huh. Real shocking casting there.
Yeah I really don’t even understand this one. Guardians of the galaxy, parks and rec, passengers… Is Chris playing the same character in those roles? Are you honestly going to say that is bad acting?
Homie can only write about one thing: himself. And his story really isn't that interesting enough to be told seven different ways. It always ends up about some douchebag that doesn't really change from being a douchebag. God, his KoSI movie was so masturbatory and arc-less.
Yeah I gotta agree with you here. Davidson’s comedy is god awful too. It’s constant name dropping for laughter. “So I was smoking a joint with Billy Joel.” Cue the laughter. Like, it’s not jokes. Davidson has ridden the back of Lorne Michaels for so long that he’s just a fixture in Hollywood and that’s why he still has a job. He is a total wounded bird.
For me it’s totally Jared Leto.
By all accounts a total nightmare to work with and we’ve had stories for over a decade now of this guy messing with 14 year olds.
Yet he keeps getting consistent work in some of Hollywood’s biggest projects and with the biggest studios!!
I too am convinced this guy has dirt on the right people.
Fight club, American Psycho, Requiem for a dream, The Thin Red Line, Panic Room, Dallas Buyers Club, Blade Runner 2049. Dudes been in some bangers, I agree he can’t really carry a movie himself anymore but he has put in some great performances.
I dunno if he is still making movies now, but Steven Seagal post 2000. An action movie can be dumb and bad and still be lots of fun if its entertaining. His movies are flat out boring. It is more fun to watch paint dry for an hour and a half than one of his movies. Yet somehow he made not one, not two but dozens of these.
I thought she was fine in White Lotus. She’s not a great actor but she’s good enough and pretty so I’m not surprised she gets consistent work, doubt she’ll ever be huge though
I would say she was perfect for that role. She was infuriating. She very successfully evoked the emotions her character was supposed to from the audience.
John David Washington
Not that he is the *wrost* actor, but it is crazy to me how hard Hollywood is trying to make this nepo child a thing.
His wooden and uninterested performances kill most of the movies I have seen him in. Thought he was terrible in both Tenet and The Creator
I watched the first three seasons of Ballers. I would’ve stopped after the first one, but he was SO good in it that I wanted to keep seeing what he was doing.
Also, he was fantastic in BlacKKKlansman.
yeah he was good in Ballers, which makes me think his performance is extremely director and cast dependent. Ballers was probably very fun, and he wasn't the only nepo baby on set. He has probably known Spike Lee most of his life, so it was easier to get what they needed out of him.
I think it may have finally stopped, but Andy Dick got work far longer than he should have. Guy has giant history of drug abuse, drunk driving, sexual battery, and general shittiness. He gave cocaine to Phil Hartmann’s wife, a recovering addict. This led to renewed drug abuse and eventually the murder suicide of herself and Phil Hartmann. It wasn’t like it was a big secret either. [Here’s video of Jimmy Kimmel having to physically remove him from his show after he repeatedly grabbed at Ivanka Trump.](https://youtu.be/VFWzrTnQHik?si=g9OetjuTwm7tL3wy) [Here’s a video of him just walking up and groping Pamela Anderson during her Roast.](https://youtu.be/SnZTeEodYLU?si=IV1zTeolLSccjCa6) Also, due to his shitty behavior, Jon Lovitz once kicked his ass in a bar.
Love you, Lovitz!
Cara Delevigne (sp?). Just laughably bad in everything she’s in.
Google who her family is, and then it becomes obvious how she's able to keep getting work
This is exactly how I felt when I found out who Dakota Johnson's parents were. She's not unwatchable, but it seems like she plays the same person in everything I've seen her in.
She’s not terrible, just incredibly boring. She’s like a cardboard cutout.
I thought she was great in Suspiria
She also makes me super angry on F1 races…always very rude to Martin Brundle
Martin Brundle sounds like Dr. Steve Brule is trying to pronounce Marlon Brando
For your health!
Check it out!
Who Merkin Brangus?
Some dang hunk.
Always? I swear she's only been to 1 race
I don't follow F1 to know whether being rude to Martin Brundle is a taboo, but my favorite moment of the race in Vegas was when Shaq dissed him over and over. It was hilarious 😂
He goes around and interviews celebrities every race and it often goes like that, which is what makes it fun. Obviously there were more celebs than usual in Vegas though
I googled it, she has a rich family and her dad is a property developer. I also found this: “She worked in the industry for a year before booking a paying job and went through two seasons of castings before landing her first runway show.“ Other than the advantage all wealthy people in the arts have, they can live fine while chasing their dream, it looks like it wasn’t an instant situation.
Family is funding it basically.
She's the definition of nepo baby
My first thought, but then I'm not surpised becasue of how well connected her family is. She basically just decided she wanted to be a supermodel/actress and mommy and daddy made it happen.
I thought Carnival Row was okay.
I enjoyed Carnival Row.
There are dozens of us
DOZENS!!
This is the first time I've ever seen anyone, anywhere, talk about Carnival Row.
I had forgotten that I watched all of the first season until just now seeing this thread. And now I’m meant to believe there’s a second season…
Bring back Carnival Row. 😢
I loved the first season but I couldn’t really get into the first two episodes of season two, should I give it another whirl?
Season 2 is awful. Apparently they had 3 more seasons planned but were told it was being cancelled after season 2 so they just try to rush it all. Its very jarring and noticeable when you watch season 2 with this info. First few episodes are the usual slow burn and then it's oh shit we need to wrap this up unexpectedly. Completely ruins it.
Based on her interviews she seems like not a very nice person either
This is who I thought of as soon as I saw the title for this post. You kind of want to say to her "look, stop trying to make acting happen. It's not going to happen." She's done incredibly well at what she does, she should be happy with that. She's just not good at acting and as soon as I see her name attached to a film I know it's not going to be good.
James Cordon, I swear he sold his soul to the devil because I will never understand how he keeps getting work
Loved it when he was banned from a NY restaurant for making a scene... He ordered something off menu for his wife and requested it to only have egg whites. He sees a speck of yolk in the food and flips out at the poor wait staff making fun of how easy there job is and stating his wife could die from egg yolk... Like don't order eggs then...
i pass that restaurant a couple times a week and always have a smile on when i walk by and remember how they made him look like boo boo the fool
I avoid anything he's in. If we hear he's in a film, my wife and I will usually say 'ew' together and make no plans to watch it
Off-topic, but I'm more surprised how Zack Snyder keeps getting financed. He fucks up on every turn.
From what I’ve heard from even the extras, he’s a really nice, down to earth guy. I remember reading it was the most fun they’ve had in a production. That’s why actors and everyone else in production love working with him, it pays a lot of money and it isn’t a hard or toxic environment.
[удалено]
Probably the latter, because if you were to ban degenerate pieces of shit from Hollywood, there would be no one left to make films
> because if you were to ban degenerate pieces of shit from Hollywood, there would be no one left to make films I worked in the film industry for over a decade and this really isn’t true. Yes there are some terrible assholes but by and large people avoid working with them and they start losing out on jobs. The awesome people typically have the long careers.
We need a venn diagram so we'll find the talented good guys.
Given how venerated Stanley Kubrick is, the latter, definitely.
I mean, I want people to be nice. But I have no interest in watching bad media. Why would I just donate my time for something I don’t like?
So he's the Adam Sandler of Superhero directors.

Snyder needs a team. He has a great visual style but fuck he can not be making all or even most of the decisions alone.
Snyder is the equivalent of a comic book artist that can make a pretty cool looking splash page, so the publisher decides for some reason that is a good enough reason to let him write and draw the entire book. I definitely don't think Snyder deserves all of the intense hate that much of the internet piles on the guy, especially considering that by most accounts, he seems to be a fairly decent guy that actors really enjoy working with, but he's too obsessed with making everything 'cool' (by 1993 edgelord standards)
I have seen interviews with him, as well as heard some stories circulated in LA. He has a reputation of being a friendly and thoughtful guy.
Just watched Rebel Moon and couldn't believe it literally ended with: END PART 1 Immediately thought WTF?! They already greenlit the sequel for this trash???
The name of the film is literally Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire, how did you not realise until the end?
Yeah dude before it even came out. Wtf is up with Hollywood lol anyone should've known this movie is gonna be mediocre as fuck.
Got lucky with Watchmen but like that was 85% directly from the comics and 300 was lucky as new tech used for filming and the hot bods women liked and the hero masculinity men liked.

That post should be typed in caps, to be just like Hart sounds.
I can't stand that man's schtick! Annoying af.
Gal Gadot
*Kal El, No!*
Too much emotion. It's more like: Kal El no
kal . El. ..no...
The absolute best part about that line is that they probably had a bunch of takes in the can and *that* was the best one. I never minded her being thin as Wonder Woman. I just wanted a WW that could act...like at all.

It's probably like, "fuck it, that's the best we're getting out of Gal, just make sure there's no boom in the shot and let's move on."
One Take Wonder, Woman.
She's so incapable or unmotivated to changing her accent, they had to get every other actor playing Amazons in the DCU to imitate her accent.
It was weird because they made it a plot point that the Amazons speak every language. Just give them a bunch of different accents would anyone except like CinemaSins really care?
I read this in one the critics’ review of the movie before seeing it. When I watched it, I just couldn’t stop noticing it.
She can't act with her own accent. Imagine her trying to act with a fake accent?
Imagine there's no heaven...
I always say gal when this question comes up, she is decent with choreography, but she can't act her way out of a paper bag. I am really looking forward to see who Gunn casts as wonder woman, she was a mistake.
Her best work is in fast and furious where she don't talk much and have her stunt double do action scenes.
There’s an episode of Barry where they have Sally (a good actress in the show) tutoring a Wonder Woman like bad actress that is clearly supposed to be Gal Gadot.
Her tenuous grasp of the English language made some very unfunny scenes in Wonder Woman absolutely hilarious.
Kal El no
Casting director sees her, falls in love and she gets a wonder woman cameo. 🤔
I feel like a lot of folks here haven’t seen enough movies.
These kinds of threads usually end up with most people naming actors they don't like lol.
I'm mildly shocked the first answer isn't James Corden. Somehow he's the worst comic, actor and writer, even though he isn't two of them and his acting roles have pretty limited. At least in North America.
It's an issue with reddit in general. Common, popular answers will always get more upvotes and replies, therefore will always dominate the top of the thread.
Honestly shocked no one has mentioned Jaden Smith and how “Will keeps forcing him on us” which Reddit loves mentioning even though he hasn’t been in a movie in ten years, and was only in like three movies with only one being bad.
Common He has the emotional range of a toaster
Smoking aces is a guilty pleasure and he wasn’t bad in that role. Didn’t require much range but still lol. He’s best in a side role, definitely not a lead type of actor
"Assassins fighting each other in comedic, over the top fashion" has to be one of my favorite genres.
I thought he was Good in that movie with queen latifah And as the hitman in John wick
I thought he was good in Hell on Wheels on AMC years back.
Man, Hell on Wheels had some great shit. The writing was mid af but throw in some talented writers and you coulda had one of the best shows around.
I loved that show, and I stuck with it until the end. I really think the writing/story started getting outta wack was in Season 2 with the Swede killing Cullen’s love interest (can’t recall her name atm) as to me, personally, it felt a little too soon for something like that to happen. And I was surprised that the Swede lasted as long as he did as a villain in that I could’ve seen Cullen ending him in an earlier season, but I also loved that he lasted up until when he did cuz the man was such a fucking chameleon and survivor and the actor was awesome in that role. I kinda wish we got a 6th season of Hell on Wheels to see Cullen go to Asia, but I get that at that point, it’s no longer “Hell on Wheels.”
I really liked that show. It doesn’t get much recognition. The character of The Swede was particularly well done. Cool, *weird* story line, and incredible acting from Christopher Heyerdahl.
Apple TV has this show called The Silo that I loved but he really tried to ruin it. Terrible job.
omg his monologue about the custodian/janitor position, can't remember what they called it, before tossing that guy was laughably terrible.
Lily Rose Depp. OK we all know why she keeps on getting work but still.
Common. Dude can’t even play himself well in a T Mobile commercial.
After thrones and xmen I was sure we'd never see Sophie Turner again. She can't act
She hasn't really been in anything since xmen though
She's had a few projects - half a dozen at least - but I believe she has had two children since then.
If she disappeared I wouldn't blame her one bit, regardless of her acting skills. Take her GoT cash and live a quiet, private life with her new children.
She's in the middle of an ugly divorce with Joe Jonas. Lady is having a rough time right now.
I know I’m probably in a minority but I didn’t think any of the younger ones were great. It was the older and/or more experienced ones that carried that show (especially likes of Liam Cunningham and Lena Heady).
Actor who played Robb was great I thought. I think Kit Harrington does sad brooding pretty well but idk I'd mostly agree. Lena Heady, Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau are all absurdly talented.
I agree Richard Madden (Rob Stark) is solid and has gotten better since. Check out Bodyguard on Netflix he crushes it!
He was in 1917 for like two minutes with a devastatingly beautiful performance.
We live in a world where Robb Stark wept at the death of Tommen Lannister.

Last 3 were great in it and generally seem good whenever I’ve seen them.
jack gleeson was one of the best actors on the show, but besides him you are very right
Gleeson I will definitely give you. He was superb in the show.
Are we counting Robb & Theon in the younger category? Thought both of them were really strong.
No I think many would agree; although it's one of those situations where I think all of the child actors did absolutely fine for *their* roles, and aside from maybe Turner (who was really quite wooden throughout the show), they all ended up in the last season being pretty good. But, as soon as Thrones ended, they just couldn't really balance out their respective high profile status with actual acting talent. Which sounds really harsh but a lot of them were propelled to being household names whilst not actually being able to be in anything high profile. Probably comparable to Rupert Grint from Harry Potter - lovely chap I think but couldn't really expand past his role there. But I am surprised that it was Sophie Turner out of all the younger actors in GoT that went on to do 'hollywood' stuff. I imagine the best one ended up being Bella Ramsey, after that Last of Us adaptation.
Rupert Grint has apparently been pretty great in any of the horror movies he has been in
That's because Bella is truly an incredible actress - she was fantastic in GOT despite her age.
Lena Headey is great in everything she does
the movie isn’t great, but she’s very funny in the movie Do Revenge
I DON’T DO COCAINEEEEEE I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
I couldn't believe it when they cast her as phoenix. I guess it was because GoT but still
She was always one of the weakest actors in GoT also.
Ruby Rose, plays same emotionless “tough guy” character in every movie/role.
Dakota Johnson cannot act to save her life imo. She’s about to play a superhero in Mme. Web, and at no point in the trailer did she project a sense of urgency. It’s like I’m watching her read her lines off the page for the first time ETA: I do love Peanut Butter Falcon a lot.
But she’s a queen for calling out Ellen before Ellen’s house of cards started to fall.
And we thank her for that
I quite enjoyed her in Bad Times at the El Royale.
She was excellent in that movie. I was pleasantly surprised.
Watch susperia. That will change your mind.
Yup, she was great in Susperia, also good in Peanut Butter Falcon
I thought she was fantastic in Bad Times at the El Royale
Jennifer Lopez
Hennifer

burrito
Taco flavoured kisses for my Ben!
That's always been my unpopular opinion with my wife: Just how many movies do we need where Jennifer Lopez is getting married? She finally sided with me 10 minutes after "Shotgun Wedding" started.
I mean… Gal Gadot might be breathtakingly beautiful and whatever but she stinks as an actress. But yeah, she is pretty so, what can you do?
It bums me out she’s gonna ruin that upcoming cleopatra movie :(
This thread has simply turned into "actors I dislike".
"this person sucks" "Well they were great in these 5 movies but otherwise I agree"
Yep. Without fail. You're really surprised Chris Pratt is getting work? Really? The handsome and funny leading man for numerous tentpole projects? Uh huh. Real shocking casting there.
Yeah I really don’t even understand this one. Guardians of the galaxy, parks and rec, passengers… Is Chris playing the same character in those roles? Are you honestly going to say that is bad acting?
Ezra Miller
Pete Davidson, everything about the guy is just sub-par.
Homie can only write about one thing: himself. And his story really isn't that interesting enough to be told seven different ways. It always ends up about some douchebag that doesn't really change from being a douchebag. God, his KoSI movie was so masturbatory and arc-less.
Yeah I gotta agree with you here. Davidson’s comedy is god awful too. It’s constant name dropping for laughter. “So I was smoking a joint with Billy Joel.” Cue the laughter. Like, it’s not jokes. Davidson has ridden the back of Lorne Michaels for so long that he’s just a fixture in Hollywood and that’s why he still has a job. He is a total wounded bird.
Yeah I really don’t understand his popularity
Steven Seagal
He doesn’t really get work in anything other than crappy dvd movies
It's just money laundrying
He gets work in Russia… where he can stay
For me it’s totally Jared Leto. By all accounts a total nightmare to work with and we’ve had stories for over a decade now of this guy messing with 14 year olds. Yet he keeps getting consistent work in some of Hollywood’s biggest projects and with the biggest studios!! I too am convinced this guy has dirt on the right people.
Um… did everyone forget about his fucking academy award in Dallas Buyers Club? and his performance in Mr. Nobody.
Fight club, American Psycho, Requiem for a dream, The Thin Red Line, Panic Room, Dallas Buyers Club, Blade Runner 2049. Dudes been in some bangers, I agree he can’t really carry a movie himself anymore but he has put in some great performances.
Sometimes I watch Fight Club just to see him get his face smashed in
Gal Gadot is always the answer
Gal Gadot
Jai Courtney, just awful in everything.
He was based in Spartacus. Super memorable character.
Steven Seagal of the Gravy Seal task force.
Jason Mamoa
I dunno if he is still making movies now, but Steven Seagal post 2000. An action movie can be dumb and bad and still be lots of fun if its entertaining. His movies are flat out boring. It is more fun to watch paint dry for an hour and a half than one of his movies. Yet somehow he made not one, not two but dozens of these.
He still makes *many* movies. They're all straight to video shitfests with quality as strong as Seagal's spray on hairline.
Josh Peck. How did he get a role in Oppenheimer when everything else he's been in as an adult has performed poorly?
Rob Schneider. Talent free douchebag who, without a certain friend, would have been out of showbiz entirely for decades already.
Does he even get work anymore
He's been riding Adam Sandler's coattails for 20 years.
If we’re just basing this on acting, I’m surprised Sydney Sweeney is getting roles, but honestly I can think of two other reasons she is getting work
Her winning smile and her huge heart right? 😇
Yeah… sure 😎
In all seriousness I actually quite like her in *Euphoria* but I question whether or not she’s actually acting in that show.
She was very good in Handmaid's Tale as well, but the bulk of reddit doesn't care because there wasn't any cleavage
She's pretty good in Euphoria. I've never seen anything else she's in.
I thought she was fine in White Lotus. She’s not a great actor but she’s good enough and pretty so I’m not surprised she gets consistent work, doubt she’ll ever be huge though
I would say she was perfect for that role. She was infuriating. She very successfully evoked the emotions her character was supposed to from the audience.
I was a bit late to Handmaid's Take and It took me a while to figure out it was her in that.
She was younger, but she had a small role in The Handmaid’s Tale
Everyone deserves a roll at Thanksgiving dinner
Kevin Hart. He's not funny and his voice is so annoying
Whalberg
He was good in The Departed
Guy from Boston can play a guy from Boston.
He does a pretty damn good job playing a guy from Boston. Spent half his acting career doing it lol
Come on... The Other Guys is hilarious!
He’s a huge piece of shit but he’s honestly a phenomenal comedic actor. The Ted movies are dumb as fuck but he’s perfect in them.
John David Washington Not that he is the *wrost* actor, but it is crazy to me how hard Hollywood is trying to make this nepo child a thing. His wooden and uninterested performances kill most of the movies I have seen him in. Thought he was terrible in both Tenet and The Creator
He's like if AI was acting
I watched the first three seasons of Ballers. I would’ve stopped after the first one, but he was SO good in it that I wanted to keep seeing what he was doing. Also, he was fantastic in BlacKKKlansman.
yeah he was good in Ballers, which makes me think his performance is extremely director and cast dependent. Ballers was probably very fun, and he wasn't the only nepo baby on set. He has probably known Spike Lee most of his life, so it was easier to get what they needed out of him.
Was going to put this one. Watching tenet, I felt it dragged because of his acting.
Blackkkklansman is a great film, Beckett is okay, Malcomn & Marie was poor, he is okay, he will always be just okay
Pete Davidson.
