My vote would have to go to...
Marlon Brando
I just don't get all the fuss about an overpaid guy who was too lazy to learn his lines and had to read them off boards around the set. Jeez I could that !

Plain acting - Robert Downey Jnr, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie.
Tom Cruise & Will Smith.
Kiera Knightley
Julia Roberts
Denzel Washington
George Clooney
Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie
Keira Knightley
Halle Berry
^ Those names intantly spring to mind.
Cate Blanchett
Brad Pitt
Matt Damon
Penelope Cruz
I think critics are blinded by their looks (aside from puppet Matt, his appeal remains a mystery) when reviewing their acting ability.
she is just bloody awful
Mickey Rourke
River Phoenix
Tobey Maguire
Jacki Chan - He's a martial arts expert who can act - yeah right!
Will Smith was excellent in 'Ali'. Good actor who goes for too many ordinary roles.
Di Caprio has acted well in a number of fine films (and Titanic). Would agree about Cruise and even more so about Pitt.
Denzil Washington = fine actor.
Micker Rourke was very good in "The Wrestler" and River Phoenix outstanding in "Stand By Me" - but died before his full talent could be realised.
I'd add Steve Martin, who I don't find at all funny. Strip his attempts at being funny away and there's some very poor acting.
I also don't get the fuss about Russell Crowe........
Angelina Jolie - There's actually some potential here as noted in Changeling and Girl, Interrupted but she seems to always be in crappy roles.
Monroe - only successful because she died :rolleyes:
Successful child actress who never went off the rails, maybe? I don't rate her in anything other than Black Swan either.
I actually thought he was brilliant when he was alive, but I agree that a lot of people joined the bandwagon after he died, but I liked him since 10 things I hate about you!
Robert Pattinson is overrater
As is Kirsten Stewart, did not deserve her BAFTA last year :mad:
She certainly IS NOT a crap actress. I doubt you have seen Gia, The Changeling, A Mighty Heart or Girl Interrupted then... if you have, you are talking rubbish.
Julia Roberts
Tom Cruise
Will Smith
Nicole Kidman
Angelina Jolie is simply awful as are Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Jennifer Aniston...the list goes on.
It is also interesting that a medicore director will also make an acclaimed actor look bad. Similarly, a mediocre actor can look great when directed by a true director of actors.
She is a bit of a strange one. She is not entirely mainstream but but she was superb in Closer and of course Leon.
