Dwayne Johnson but he's still a bad ass when he's acting shit, that said Faster was good because he hardly said a word. You know who needs more work? Steve Buscemi awesome actor.

I've never heard of the first, and National Treasure was shit (particularly or especially as far as his acting goes).lacktheknack said:
The others may be great, but they're also not even from this millennium. He has not been a good actor in over a decade.
Try again?
That's quite the hate train for Michael Cera. Glad we're not so few in number.
He's the only actor I can think of who makes me want to pummel his face into jelly and bone chips every time he puts on a performance. I really liked Scott Pilgrim, but I swear I'd love it if they got someone fucking decent to play Scott.

Still Bad Lieutenant. Also, I liked National Treasure.chadachada123 said:
Anyways, how about Kick-Ass?
You originally asked for "believable emotions" (go and check). "Adding and taking nothing from the film" doesn't sound like standard Cage "I'm eMOOOOOTinnnnng!" acting.Sleekit said:
Well, so does John Wayne. But God have mercy on you if you dare say that about the Duke.HardkorSB said:
Anyway, I'd have to cast my vote on Adam Sandler. I really wouldn't have minded his lowest common denominator comedy if it wasn't so damned lazy. Case in point: Jack and Jill.
Don't forget Leaving Las Vegas.Axolotl said:
I have officially had enough of Johnny Depp. How long has he been playing the same scenery-chewing weirdo? At this point, the only thing differentiating his characters is the accent he affects or the costume he wears...and that's an either/or option, by the by.
A character he portrayed for a few minutes on screen? Sure...axlryder said:
Eccentric? He's a hedonist.
Emotionally distant? Clearly overcompensating with emotional detachment toward his fellow man.
Assorted past? Sort of a requirement for psychopaths.
Coincidentally roped? He had to "die" (not really) to assume the alternate role.
Noble Pursuit? He continually insured the well being of his brother.
Well being of supporting characters? Look above.
Learns just as much? He uncovered the entire plot from the "hero".
Speaking of the "hero"...
Eccentric? Obsessive compulsive disorder.
Emotionally distant? He's wearing the face of his enemy after all; watch any scene.
Assorted past? His son was killed.
Coincidentally roped? He did "kill" (not actually) the only guy who was capable of tricking the only other guy into giving away the location of the bomb.
Noble Pursuit? He was after the bomb.
Well being of supporting characters? He saved his nemesis son.
Learns just as much? That even family is important to bad guys.
Oh look, he played 2 characters in the film, one which only had a few minutes of screen time and I *still* applied the same formula to both of them. But hey, you still like him, and that's OK. But I'm done illustrating my point to you; he's formulaic and typed, period.
And let me apply these to, say, Vampire's Kiss.DevilWithaHalo said:
Eccentric? OH MY YES.
Emotionally distant? He seems to be a successful ladies man, and have few other cues.
Assorted past? No idea.
Coincidentally roped? No. The entire plot happens entirely because of him.
Noble pursuit? I hardly call "Convince yourself that you're a vampire" noble.
Well being of supporting characters? OH MY NO.
Learns just as much? He learns absolutely nothing.
That doesn't seem to fit your formula.
Ah, but I clearly said that I didn't know about that title, oh illiterate one =paxlryder said:
But anyway, I'm just not a fan of his acting of late. It's always the same character, this character being a person that I just don't like. He makes a decent bad guy, though.
True Vin Diesel is terrible, but I mean there are other actors that can only play one charater. First one to springs to mind was Sean Connery, but I LOVE that man. Sean Connery didn't act he just played himself in every role and it worked!HardkorSB said:
I hate Will Ferrell with every ounce of my being. Pulling your ballsack out isn't funny, it's stupid. His jokes are all ridiculously immature and I hate his little buddy John C. Reilly too.
As for female... hmmm... I'll pick Kristen Stewart why not. I do think she's pretty... for a flat poster. However, she has the emotional range of a spoon and always looks stoned.
Now Emma Stone on the other hand, she is one of the best young actresses I've ever seen.
