Hollyoaks, I agree can't act for toffee but it is a teen soap. The girls who played Bianca and Tiff in Eastenders were appauling. They just played themselves. When u act your supposed to convince people you are some one else. Always thought Tom Cruise couldn't act. Always seems to have the same expression on his mug. The best he did was Rainman
well, these are all popular actors, which means they risk getting typecast. When that happens they're basically offered the same role all the time; and it's hardly surprising if they play it the same each time, because that's what the producers and the public want. Also, they're chiefly not actors but stars - which means their own persona (real or imagined) plays a part in the characters they portray. Again, this is deliberate.
For all that, see Robin and Marian or The Wind and the Lion to see Connery really acting. Can't think of any occasion on which Roger Moore has done so, though.
I have to disagree with Michael Caine, Tom Cruise and Ewan McGregor...I think they can act.
J-Lo, Vinnie Jones, Mariah Carey, the bloke who plays Danny in Eastenders, that bloke from the film George and the jungle - can't remember his name,the sisters from All Saints...i'll have to think of some more.
Have to agree with eupraxia on the Tom Cruise front. Always seems to act awfully when I see him, always looks like he's acting, whereas you look at say, Mr Depp, and you're looking at the character whether it be Jack Sparrow, etc, etc. Plus Tom drove me nuts in the Last Samurai, where it looked like he was practically begging for an Oscar.
More for the list...Val Kilmer, Ashton Kutcher?
