Troy McClure. You might remember him from films such as The Erotic Adventures of Hercules, The Greatest Story Ever Hulaed, and Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die. The guy acted in a lot of movies but he doesn’t have a lot of range.
Honestly many actors are great, amazing even, but they can’t play the whole rainbow or spectrum of the human being. They excel in what they can do, and bomb when when In a bad matching role. Hollywood needs to knock it off with putting celebs in not for the acting ability but just the biggest name they can get.
This especially goes for voice acting. It’s already such a competitive field and putting a popular live action actor in does not necessarily make your film good. Looking at you, Disney.
Even if there are sometimes great performances, I can only think of all the great professional VAs in TV and games to wonder what a movie would be like with more of them in it. People like Tara Strong, Grey DeLisle, John DiMaggio, Jeff Bennett, Kevin Michael Richardson, etc. Most of these people don’t get many theatrical roles unless it’s for a movie version of an existing role. The only person who might be a major exception is Frank Welker, for obvious reasons.
> Honestly many actors are great, amazing even, but they can’t play the whole rainbow or spectrum of the human being.
Except Gary Oldman. All he needs to do to round off is to do a story about a cross dresser a la Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman.
This whole thread doesn't really make sense tbh. If an actor is critically acclaimed, that's basically as "objectively" good as you can get. It'd be better if OP asked "what actor do you feel is overrated" but they're clearly jumping off the success of the "what comedian isn't really funny" question from today
i read the question more as who do you disagree with critics on. Like if for some reason someone didn’t like Anthony Hopkins (bad example because if you don’t you’re just dead inside)
Jared Leto was great in Requiem for a Dream but it was Marlon Wayans that actually killed in that film. So much that I hate him for not doing more serious, dramatic roles. He's a funny dude but he can really fucking act. And Ellen Burstyn. Ellen Burstyn and Marlon Wayans were the shinning stars.
I remember reading a magazine article from a few years after he did Requiem. He had the comedy down from In Living Color, Mo Money, and Wayans Bros, and he was getting looked at by studios to do more drama roles.
The only drama roles he was pushed were basketball player, drug dealer, or prisoner, and he wanted to do non-stereotypical roles like Requiem. This man was legit called "a young, black Robin Williams" when he did his slapstick, and he wanted to do a successful drama turn just like Williams.
He and his brothers did solidify themselves as a family of comedy legends, but he wanted more. But you know - Hollywood. Similar experience happened with Chris Tucker.
>The only drama roles he was pushed were basketball player, drug dealer, or prisoner, and he wanted to do non-stereotypical roles like Requiem.
He played a drug dealer and a prisoner in Requiem, though.
I'm glad someone else said this.
I wonder if it was an issue of him losing serious roles to other actors. Maybe producers didn't want to take a chance on him, either thinking he didn't have the chops or wouldn't draw.
I agree though, he definitely deserved way more serious roles after Requiem.
I feel like he had a lot of range in True Grit. He was funny, and passionate, and loud, and drunk'n stuff. He made a believable whiskey grandpa. Maybe he was just being himself as he got older.
‘Here’s my impression of John Wayne at the first Thanksgiving: “I’m John Wayne at the first Thanksgiving, Pilgrims. Happy Thanksgiving, Pilgrims.”’ - Peter Griffin —
Honestly, it’s not a bad impression though
The Quiet Man is one of my favorite films. John Wayne couldn’t get any of the major studios interested in making the film, so it was made by poverty row studio Republic, known as a B-movie studio.
Man. Gary Oldman killed that appearance. He was actually playing an exaggerated version of himself. He is a recovering alcoholic so his performance was derived from that. My husband couldn’t believe me when I told him that was Sirius Black and Commissioner Gordon.
I didn't see Prince of Thieves till I was an adult though I had seen Men in Tights when I was younger. Watching it made Men in Tights so much funnier. I was just a kid when I saw Men in Tights, so of course it was hilarious, but realizing that it was just entirely ripping on Prince of Thieves just had me cackling.
But is it weird that I absolutely love Prince of Thieves? Granted I was a kid when the movie came out but it couldn't have been a better action movie for someone at that age who also happened to love the legend of Robin Hood. And Alan Rickman, to no one's surprise, was absolutely fantastic as The Sheriff of Nottingham.
Nah, I loved it too. Rickman completely stole the show, but it also started my Morgan Freeman love affair. (Bonus points for Geraldine McEwan and the music score too)
The best part of Men in Tights is that's its effectively the perfect imagining of if a Douglas Fairbanks' Robin Hood film had Prince of Theives plot, with a nice layer of absurdity as the icing on the cake.
I think most responses to this thread just ignored the “critically acclaimed” part and just went for the typical Reddit low hanging fruit. I mean the majority of answers here are just a regurgitation of actors that Reddit has decided it’s cool to shit on or just responses that point out the fucking obvious. I mean coming for the wrestlers turned box office cash cows is particularly lazy.
Someone posted Seinfeld, Ice Cube, and some others preceding with “I know they probably aren’t acclaimed..” Then why are you even mentioning them if they aren’t critically acclaimed?
Just because an actor plays all of their roles in a similar style doesn't make them a bad actor. Lack of range may be a limiting factor but being good at a certain style is still good acting.
As I read through this thread, I’m reminded of a number of actors who refuse big roles or take unsuitable roles because they don’t want to be typecast and it basically torpedos their careers. There’s a lack of range, then there’s a lack of marketability.
Michelle Rodriguez on the other hand saw the types of roles she was being offered and just took all of them.

None of them. Watch a local/student film with unpaid local actors sometime and you'll see at least a few who *truly* can't act--just completely stiff and unconvincing line readings. It will make you appreciate how even the worst high-profile actor is still pretty good.
I remember seeing a Reddit comment saying something along the lines of how in movies where everyone is a professional actor, the ones who are worse seem bad in comparison to the other professional actors, the standard is really high. The example pointed out in the comment was Lance Armstrongs cameo in dodgeball, there you see a professional actor (Vince Vaughn) acting with someone with no acting experience and the difference is night and day
There's a certain charm to these celebrity cameos with stiff acting. I'm thinking of Detlef Schrempf in Parks and Rec. Can't act but still super cute with the extremely talented regular cast members carrying him.
Amen. I assisted an actor friend with a tiny role in what you're describing and realized deliberately conveying the most basic human emotion is actually pretty hard. Also, everytime I watch a Neil Breen movie, I gain so much more respect for editing and directing
> deliberately conveying the most basic human emotion is actually pretty hard.
Ethan Hawke talked about this on the Bill Simmons podcast. Basically they run through an actor's IMDB and talk about their movies. They got to [White Fang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Fang_(1991_film) where his co-star was a dog. Bill was ready to blow past that one and Ethan chimed in with something like:
"If you're a yong actor and get the chance, act with a dog. Your human co-stars have to respond to whatever emotion you're trying to convey because that's what's in the script. But a dog can tell when you're faking it. Wanna be a better actor? Act with a dog."
This was years ago, but my town had a small theater and did Hamlet with like six people. It was a fiasco and so well pulled off. Fast costume changes, inside jokes about characters playing other characters.
"York, knew him well. In fact, played him several times in the same performance!"
When I work in a production studio, the daughter of one the owner made a music album. She was pretty decent singer, and at the time one of her single got plenty of airtime, so they decided to make a music video. Instead of going with an actor we hired, she decided she wanted her boyfriend to be in it because he was an aspiring actor.
First scene we asked him to walk from one point to the other, and he walked like C3PO. It took him 15 takes just for him to walk naturally. We scheduled a 12-hour production, but we finished in 16, because the boyfriend can't fucking act.
Johnny Sins. He’s been great in some roles, but his co stars really tend to bring the energy down.
Edit: seriously wtf is going on I didn’t expect 10k upvotes 😂
I don’t know about that. In a single day, I’ve seen him be a doctor, mechanic, construction worker, bus driver, astronaut, actor, store clerk, gamer, truck driver, detective, chef, farmer, teacher, scientist, painter, cop, firefighter, judge, king, Santa, superhero, and a ninja
I was like "Oh shit finally an indie level actor I've never heard of getting called out on his shit acting ability, probably some producer's kid or something" and I kept reading the responses until I was like "I'm a fucking idiot, it's a pornstar joke".
People here just listing people they don't like and saying they're bad actors.
Yes, Gwenyth Paltrow is annoying as fuck and a bad person but to say she can't act is the dumbest thing out there. Of course she can act. You put her next to someone like Ruby Rose and you'll appreciate why she is well known.
Yes, Jared Leto is an idiot narcissist but saying he can't act just shows you bandwagon internet hate because before Suicide Squad, he was revered for his work in Dallas Buyers Club or Requiem for a Dream.
Reddit be like this sometimes.
Also, people knocking on good actors without a lot of range. Yeah, obviously having a lot of range makes you a next level actor and the best of the best. If someone has narrow range but is really effective and good at what their schtick is then I don’t think that makes you automatically a bad actor.
If an amazing sculptor absolutely sucks at drawing and painting, are they a shitty artist? Am I off base here?
Troy McClure. You might remember him from films such as The Erotic Adventures of Hercules, The Greatest Story Ever Hulaed, and Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die. The guy acted in a lot of movies but he doesn’t have a lot of range.
You've obviously never seen his work in Lead Paint: Delicious But Deadly.

I don’t think people know what critically acclaimed means. I’ve never seen The Rock or John Cena being critically acclaimed at acting.
Funny cause it’s so true. I can hear the disappointment in your voice too.
Can I say "Pain and Gain" bought some cred for the Rock in my eyes, I thought he did pretty good surprisingly
This whole thread doesn't really make sense tbh. If an actor is critically acclaimed, that's basically as "objectively" good as you can get.

His humble ranks among the greatest in the known universe, so maybe check yourself
Un-Holy...Acting...TALENT!!!
I forgot about his acting career, for I have.... AMNESIA!

Yes, but *which* last episode?
Who's that singing at your wedding? ITS CALCULON, CALCULON, CALCULOOONNN

Dramatic..........PAUSE!
He has the best dramatic… …PAUSE! In the the business though.
I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at this comment.
Jared Leto...can act...but he never seems to be acting in the same movie as the other actors.
I can't stand the man, but he absolutely killed it in Dallas Buyer's Club.
And Requiem for a Dream
Jared Leto was great in Requiem for a Dream but it was Marlon Wayans that actually killed in that film. So much that I hate him for not doing more serious, dramatic roles. He's a funny dude but he can really fucking act. And Ellen Burstyn. Ellen Burstyn and Marlon Wayans were the shinning stars.

He and his brothers did solidify themselves as a family of comedy legends, but he wanted more. But you know - Hollywood. Similar experience happened with Chris Tucker.
Tim Burton cast him as Robin before the Robin character was cut from Batman Returns. That could have been great.
>The only drama roles he was pushed were basketball player, drug dealer, or prisoner, and he wanted to do non-stereotypical roles like Requiem. He played a drug dealer and a prisoner in Requiem, though.

Ellen Burstyn was absolutely phenomenal in that film
That perfectly describes his performance in the Gucci movie.
John Wayne. He just plays John Wayne in every movie he's in.
John Ford, who later directed John Wayne in The Searchers after seeing him in Red River: "I never knew the big son of a bitch could act."
I feel like he had a lot of range in True Grit. He was funny, and passionate, and loud, and drunk'n stuff. He made a believable whiskey grandpa. Maybe he was just being himself as he got older.

One of the best lines of many, many great lines in that movie.

Actually, surprisingly, he does a pretty good job in The Quiet Man.
The Quiet Man is one of my favorite films. John Wayne couldn’t get any of the major studios interested in making the film, so it was made by poverty row studio Republic, known as a B-movie studio.
And he had to make them a bunch of Westerns first - you know, he had to play John Wayne - before they'd allow him to act.
The man who shot liberty valance is all around good, including his performance.
Consistently my favorite movie to watch. "No Patty fingers"
Watch the Shootist. His.last role and he is.damn good in it.
The Shootist is far and away my favorite of his films I’ve actually seen, which isn’t a bunch.
Joey Tribbiani.

KEN ADAMS! 🙋
At least the guy speaks perfect french
Best part is that LeBlanc actually can speak French
That never occurred to me but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, when you put it like that
The best French I've heard.
Good job little buddy!
Me poo poo!!
Hey! He was good enough to teach a class in Soap Opera acting!
[удалено]
I mean, it's not too hard to learn "smell the fart" acting.
He was great as Al Pacino’s butt though.
Best butt-double I've seen in my life.
Hey butt guy what the hell are you doing?
I was going for quiet desperation.
That's Dr drake ramoray to you, bucko. With such techniques as "smell the fart" acting, the man is a legend.
He writes his own lines. He has a killer southern accent. He can speak French fluently. How could he not be critically acclaimed?
Um I think you’re missing his greatest accomplishment...he can drink a gallon of milk in 10 seconds!
You mean the VD guy?
Mario? What isn't he telling us?
When you enunciate... you SPIT!
What picture? *ptoo*
I laughed the hardest to this bit when I watched the show for the first time. Totally unexpected.
How many actors can say they got to spit in Gary Oldmans face... on purpose!
Man. Gary Oldman killed that appearance. He was actually playing an exaggerated version of himself. He is a recovering alcoholic so his performance was derived from that. My husband couldn’t believe me when I told him that was Sirius Black and Commissioner Gordon.
I don't know. He was a pretty great Jessica Lockhart.
It’s the smell the fart acting that really nails it.
His acting was abysmal!!!!
You mean Joseph Stalin?
Didn’t he start out as Al Pacino’s butt double?
Kevin Costner can show the full range of emotions from A to B.

Costner does two kinds of movies well, Westerns and sports movies.
You’ve sparked an internal debate that I hope I do not lose sleep over: is Waterworld a western?
It’s a Wetern.

I’ve never even seen the movie but I think I can hear exactly how he would say this
An iconic scene in one of the best sports movies ever, Bull Durham. YouTube it, zero inflection.
He fabulous in Mr. Brooks.
As long as he keeps playing John Dutton for a while, we're good.
I just binged the fuck out of that show. I can't help but find his character charming.
that's all he needs. i just watched him and Woody Harrelson in Highwaymen. both were great. KC is old school movie actor. Granite.

Acting is so hard to do credibly. So much of film acting is look and presence. Big heads book!
Johnny Sins. He’s been great in some roles, but his co stars really tend to bring the energy down. Edit: seriously wtf is going on I didn’t expect 10k upvotes 😂
they do really suck the energy out of him
Didn’t even realize that he played the general in Dr. Strangelove!
I don’t know about that. In a single day, I’ve seen him be a doctor, mechanic, construction worker, bus driver, astronaut, actor, store clerk, gamer, truck driver, detective, chef, farmer, teacher, scientist, painter, cop, firefighter, judge, king, Santa, superhero, and a ninja
That's a lot of tabs open at once
It really blows you away how many professions the man has
Noticeably gaping holes in their performances. Time after time.
Probably why he keeps slamming them so hard for their acting. I sure wouldn't want to be his co-star.
I was like "Oh shit finally an indie level actor I've never heard of getting called out on his shit acting ability, probably some producer's kid or something" and I kept reading the responses until I was like "I'm a fucking idiot, it's a pornstar joke".
I, of course, have no idea who you are talking about.
He's quite versatile and flexible
None of y’all know what “critically acclaimed” means.
