Jean-Claude van Damme
although to be honest it is some years since I have been forced by the family to watch him as I simply refused after having to sit through his films.
although I think he was in one as the bad guy where Rocky killed him, think it was a comedy/spoof dressed up as shoot em up action film, where he was, well ok

Hugh Grant was decent in the new Guy Ritchie film, The Gentleman, which is also a very good film. I couldn’t believe it was him at first.

George smugney. John Cleese.
Both names that put me off watching films as I know they will irritate me.
Likewise Charlie Chaplin and a lot of Peter sellers. I'm sure that sellers could act. It just seems that after making some decent material, he did a bit of an Eddie Murphy, and went along with any old **** script thinking that he was so good that he could turn a Patrick Bamford into a Premier league striker without making a superhuman effort.

Re: Worst well known actor?
There's a scene in the Expendable that illustrates the massive difference between 3 actors.
Stillone, Schwarzenegger and Willis. The scene lasts only about 3 minutes but shows how much better of an actor Willis is.
But no surprise really when he's up against someone who was instructed never to speak in his first film together with someone else who made his name as a body builder.

Re: Worst well known actor?
No, just don’t find Michael Caine particularly believable. Obviously there’s worse actors been mentioned such as Stallone, Van Damme etc but I don’t consider them to be serious actors.
As for Ray Winstone, he does a pretty good Ray Winstone but he’s not so great when he’s asked to step out of character. And his American accent is diabolical.

William Roche, aka Ken Barlow in Corrie. He only has one facial expression, that makes him look like he's trying to squeeze a 17 lb turd through his sphincter. He's so wooden, he makes the Cuprinol man seem believable. I know it's only Corrie, but he's robbed Granada blind for almost 60 yrs.

Re: Worst well known actor?
Many of those mentioned have done some good work somewhere but either got typecast or just found it easy to play as their character:
Roger Moore for example did this which was passable:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066053/?r ... lmg_act_57
Even Schwarzenegger can jump a bit out of his comfort zone:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099938/?r ... lmg_act_53
To a degree, who can blame them for sticking to what they know and what people want to see. It's made them a good living and left many happy.
I remember reading about the band Marvin, Welch & Farrar. Marvin and Welch were in the Shadows but MW&F were going for a more folky sound. It was timely and I and many others liked the music. Unfortunately too often those that came to see MW&F wanted to hear Shadow songs. In the end they gave up and went back to The Shadows and Cliff Richard. The public demanded it.

Can’t go with any of the muscle heads mentioned. They know they can’t act but at least they make entertaining movies.
David Jason for me. Become a bit of a national treasure via DelBoy and Darling Buds but he is dreadful. I get the impression that directors have given up after too many takes and said “that will have to do”.

What about Frost and Porter House Blues, there's been some dross mentioned on this thread, but I wouldn't include Del Boy.Tricky Trevor wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 9:45 amCan’t go with any of the muscle heads mentioned. They know they can’t act but at least they make entertaining movies.

The problem is he's supposed to be playing an eccentric character, how can you play that role straight.
As for the muscle men, they can't act, but I watch their films for entertainment, not for a lesson in acting, it's fun don't take life too seriously.
On a positive note, my all time favourite actor is Alec Guinness, a genius in any role, and I love the Smiley series.
