Who is the most wooden actor in Hollywood ?

[TheBaldyMan]

my suggestions:

John Wayne
Jennifer Aniston
David Schwimmer
Audie Murphy
Ronald Reagan

there must be more

[swag]

1. Keanu Reeves

But he was great in River's Edge.

[TheBaldyMan]

5. how did I miss him - DANG!

[blondeatlast]

28. Have you seen "Thumbsucker?" Surprisingly good--so is Vince Vaughn--

completely cast aginst type.

[xchrom]

39. ding! ding! ding! winner!

worst. actor. ever.

[terrya]

43. I completely agree

He's at his most lumber like in "My Own Private Idaho"

[LiviaOlivia]

51. I like Keanu

the man gets so much hate.

[LostinVA]

66. And, he can do a great job -- like in "The Gift"

[underpants]

2. James Wood

:shrug:

[underpants]

4. Woody Harrelson

:shrug:

[TheBaldyMan]

12. You forgot the bloke who played Treebeard in LOTR

[tuckessee]

21. Sgt. Keck has something to say about that.

"Don't bullshit me!"

[BikeWriter]

54. Shit, you beat me to it!

:(

[arwalden]

15. Natalie Wood

[Sequoia]

68. No way!

Did you ever see her in "Splendar in the Grass"? She was not wooden there. I read her bio about a year ago, that mother of hers was a trip. She set up Natalie when she was around 14 to have a relationship with ugly old Blue Eyes. Apparently he liked her as a person which is a lot to say considering how he treated women.

[NNadir]

20. Woody Allen

[arwalden]

24. Alfre Woodard

[henslee]

27. Oh my, you are right.

[baldguy]

3. just to get it out of the way...

[seemunkee]

26. He was always animated but became less wooden at the end

[last_texas_dem]

42. Ha ha

Alright, maybe I just have an odd sense of humor, but I have to give you credit for one of the most laugh-out-loud funny comments I've ever read on DU!

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

6. Oh no -- Charlton Heston -- THE WORST

Although John Wayne is close.

Someone on her mentioned Keanu -- he can give a good performance, although he often doesn't.

[TheBaldyMan]

7. but ... but ... Charlton Heston is one of my favourite ever actors.

:cry:

[LostinVA]

10. OMG!!!

[swag]

8. Chuck Heston!

As Gore Vidal said of him, "How do you animate a lumber yard?"

[LostinVA]

9. Hehehehe -- I know!

[Blue_Tires]

59. but Heston was brave enough to

let everyone know what Soylent Green was made of!!!! we owe him our gratitude!

[bbernardini]

11. David Caruso

My wife and I watch "CSI: Miami" every week just to see the trainwreck that is David Caruso's so-called acting. The sunglasses, the repeating of phrases for emphasis...and the weird way the coroner kind of fetishes the corpses by calling them "baby" all the time.

[myrna minx]

38. LOL. I wish MST3000 was still around to take on CSI Miami.

:rofl: :rofl:


My vote goes to Charlton Heston: You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you!

Another is Donald Sutherland. My B-I-L says all you have to do is put a nickle in him to see him "act".

[Rosie1223]

48. He was my first choice too. n/t

[Frank Cannon]

57. Love how he never looks at people when he talks to them

He's always turned away from them. I can't believe anyone actually hears what he's saying.

He's also the only supposed heterosexual male I've ever seen who places his hands on his hips with his thumbs facing forward.

I admit that I watch CSI: Miami occasionally just for the laughs that that clown provides.

[TreasonousBastard]

63. Clint Eastwood. n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

64. Caruso is not only dreadful himself, but...

takes a perfectly fine cast down with him. I've seen some of those people in other work where they light up the screen, but no one can actually act around him. I swear they dumped Wanda DeJesus because she refused to tone it down to make him look good. Or, as good as he can look, which isn't very good.

Half the range of Clint Eastwood-- doesn't even have the twitch. All the stage presence of a fallen tree.

Anyway, mentioning Caruso so soon after Darren McGavin died seems just so wrong.

[AllegroRondo]

13. Charlie McCarthy?

[Lethe]

14. clint eastwood?

although i love clint

[MissMillie]

23. he's not at all wooden

I think he's fab.

[Patiod]

16. Howcouldyou.............forGET

Christopher Walken?

[TheBaldyMan]

32. undead - yes, wooden - i don't think so

[Patiod]

33. I guess "wooden" isn't right, but odd certainly would nail it

My S.O. and I fall on the floor everytime SNL replays the skit where he's screwing with the census taker.

[TheBaldyMan]

34. definately odd even definatively odd

I've never seen that sketch but it makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about him answering the door to anyone.

[DelawareValleyDem]

17. pauly shor

[BlueIris]

18. Tom Hanks has seemed wooden to me for a long, long time.

But then again, I hate him.

Some more somewhat famous "woodens" I've noticed include David Duchovny and--I think Naomi Watts is totally wooden.

[we can do it]

19. Ben Afflack(sp.)

gakkkkkkkkkkk
:puke:

[TheBaldyMan]

I thought he was quite good in Dogma

but instantly forgettable in everything else

[we can do it]

61. You Could Be Right - After I Saw Reindeer Games That Was It

[Common Sense Party]

65. I agree. AfflACK is the most overrated, un-talented loser in

Hollywood.

[DS1]

22. Bill Pullman - no contest

[Frank Cannon]

56. Bill Pullman is a better comic actor

He was terrific in "Spaceballs" and "Mr. Wrong".

[Fox Mulder]

25. Pinocchio?

:shrug:

[TheBaldyMan]

30. check post #3

[Shine]

29. Kevin Costner is right up there, imo. n/t

[no name no slogan]

36. SECONDED!!!

He's possible the worst actor of the last 50 years. He couldn't act his way out of a wet cardboard box.

Dances with Wolves was alright, but everything else he touches turns to shite.

[skygazer]

40. Oh, I agree

Come to think of it, that should have been a clue with this bonehead guy I'm in the process of leaving - he loves Costner. :banghead: Why didn't I catch that?

[texas1928]

31. Howdy Doody.

Well he is.

[Richard Steele]

35. Although he mostly worked in TV, how could you forget Shatner?

KHAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!

http://www.mrhinojosa.com/blog/archives/khan!!!.jpg

[SaveElmer]

37. Jim Caviezel...

That guy can put anyone to sleep!!!

[Beausoir]

41. Orlando Bloom

Pretty but absolutely crap at acting.

He can only act with his eyebrows...up, down, up, down.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

44. Tom Cruise

[Heidi]

45. Howdy Doody _used_ to be. (nt)

[pointblank]

46. ARRRGGHHHH

Peter SAAAAARSGAAARD!

ARRRGGGGG!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

47. Gary Cooper

[noonwitch]

49. That guy on Days who plays John Black

I caught Days on a day off. My god, he is the worst actor in daytime, which really is saying something.

[rustydog]

50. AAAAAAHNOLD, I actually "watched" a movie of his

and his acting ability should qualify him for a disapled persons license plate.

[ghostsofgiants]

62. That's why he was so good in the Terminator films...

He plays a damn fine robot.

[Lilith Velkor]

52. David Duchovny

[Canadian Socialist]

73. Nooooooo!

Do not! I repeat. Do Not! diss my boyfriend. heeeee.

[hippiechick]

53. William Shatner!

:puke:

[Frank Cannon]

55. William Hurt

A chest of drawers from IKEA has expressed more convincing emotion than this man EVER has in his entire "acting" career.

[EFerrari]

69. You blaspheme.

:)

[Skittles]

71. oh you CAN'T be serious

William Hurt is very subtle but very effective

[DanCa]

58. Ben Stein? Oh you said actor...Steven Segal (nt)

[Rob H.]

60. Kevin Costner sprang to mind first

Normally I'd agree with everyone who mentioned Shatner, but even though he's been really bad in the past he's great on Boston Legal as Denny Crane. (Seriously! He is!) :)

[EFerrari]

70. Costner especially when he directs himself. n/t

[caty]

67. Tom Cruise

There is just something lacking in him. No realistic warmth or human connection.

[WCGreen]

72. James Wood......
