I thought about writing a soap opera, but only employ actors that cant act.

I suggest Mike Baldwin form Coro, and Reg Hollis from The Bill.

Who else do you suggest?

ross from hollyoaks lol

Katie Harris.

Doubt if she will work again after all that blubbering.

Jennifer Ellison.:blush: :love: :blush: but only because I wanna see her on my 34".











screen

Nicolas Cage - he makes your average plank seem fluid and believable!

I said that when she was still alive.
Thats why i am organising the funeral trip on Monday, I feel so ashamed :sad:

I was forced to watch coronation street last night for the first time in my life and I couldn't believe how appaling the fat bloke who looks about 60 is at acting. He crashes about like a gay carthorse and his voice is a strange mixture of old woman and lancashire poof. Is he the pub landlord?
they need to get rid of him.

Keanu Reeves! Not that I don't like the guy, but his range of emotions in movies are, shall we say, "limited"

I have to second that. I was a real fan during his Bill and Ted days but I just get embarrassed for him now. Still, he must be doing something right, right?

Johnny Depp :gag:

Letitia Dean , a kind of squashed, menopausal Samantha Fox, can only do 'breathless' and 'near hysterical'. Sarah Lancashire too is very over-rated, and limited in range.The very worst though, is the actress who played the ineffable, 'Toyah Battersby' in Coronation Street. Her name escapes me, as does her 'talent'. She can only do 'rising hysterics' and 'moody resentment'.

Re men, Robson Green plays the tedious Geordie 'lad' in everything he does. We see far too much of him on tv, as is the case with the aforementioned Sarah Lancashire. James Nesbitt can play the 'Irish rake', and absolutely nothing else. He is massively over-exposed on tv, popping up all over the place, and on adverts too. What is this about?

Allegedly the said actor is gay!

well that's as may be but my issue isn't that,
it's why is he employed as an actor, because he can't act

You must be watching a different Johnny Depp than me Deejay! :suspect:

I am not sure, but I am guess somebody can confirm it, the actor that plays Fred Elliott in Coro is the only actor from the series to have played at The Old Vic.

Says something, or nothing, for the other actors

The actor referred to by Muddycoffee is called John Savidant [plays 'Fred Elliott']. Whether he is gay or not, I do not know. He was married at one time. My wife and I have seen him in Kendalls, Manchester many a time. He barges through the big department store, and seems to know the staff very well. In contrast to his on -screen persona, he speaks with an 'educated', if slightly contrived stage accent rather than the Lancashire burr we all know and love; ' Lewk here mutherr, I seh, lewk here' etc.

Keanu Reeves and Clive Owen should go back. The Matrix trilogy has some of the most diabolical acting I've seen for a while, and King Arthur is just unforgiveable.

Ah, the blessed Keanu.... Lovely to look at, dreadful to have to watch "acting". He's shockingly wooden, immobile of face, and the voice! A monotone that makes Stephen Hawkins' computer sound over-emotional.

The guy who played Ray Langton in Corrie was awful, did more acting when he 'died' in the Rovers than all the previous episodes.

I hate the girl who plays Tracy Barlow too... she's a "mouth actor" - either all quivering lips, or mean scowling. Just like Keira Knightly, another one who can't seem to close her mouth in case it stops the power of the pout!

No wonder Ray didnt recognise Tracy when he returned, it was a different actress.

It is said the third Tracy, the current one is the fourth, failed the audition as she was not enough like Tracy.

Is it me?

I thought Johnny D was actually a pretty reasonable thesp - now how about Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Nicolas Cage (again but he deserves the re-mention!), Vin Diesel, Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger (he may do the odd fun brainless action movie but he sure can't act!)???

I doubt many of the actors mentioned even went to drama school the first time around... Except probably the foghorn leghorn bloke out of Corrie.

I think one of the worst screen actors is Uma Thurman... I couldn't stop laughing at her in Paycheck.

Cage is a funny one, he's had some awful roles but he's great in Wild At Heart and Leaving Las Vegas.

well he should get back to pulling pints at the old Vic then because he's no good as an actor.

Wholeheartedly agree about 'Knu' Reeves. Career highlight was in 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', to quote:

'Whoa, Draaacula, Duuude'!

Fred Elliot though - absolute genius, pure pantomime. Actually I think a lot of the Corrie characters are purposefully played that way. I often want to cry 'It's behind you' at half the cast. Can't wait for Ian McKellen's stint as the bodice-ripper author who guests at the Weatherfield book club!

I've just thought of another one - Ben Affleck.
I was trying to forget he existed to be honest after sitting through Pearl Harbour, but will gladly add him to the list.

I think South Park got it spot on in the episode where they re-unite him with his 'parents'.

Keanu Reeves!!! I can't watch him at all, he's far too wooden.

Affleck barely counts as an actor! Have you seen Daredevil? So mind nummingly formulaic and awfull it didn't even have the character to be bad!
