John Wayne in 99% of his roles.

(Ducks and covers)

Nic Cage

Brad Pitt definitely fits in this list

100%. I have never understood the John Wayne thing. His acting was flat and uninteresting, and his character's persona was pretty much always the same. I guess his role in Hollywood was more about being an icon and a symbol than about actual acting.

Keanu and Cage

Hanks and Pitt are bad actors? Y'all are insane.

John Wayne was a terrible actor (with maybe a couple of roles excepted) who always played the same character, but he was a hell of a movie star. Kind of like Arnold (especially the Arnold of the 80s and early 90s) - you don't go to see the movie, you go to see them star in the movie.

Vince Vaughn
Kevin Hart
Kevin James

Kristen Stewart

Mark Ruffalo - IMO, his success has far exceeded his talent.

In other words, a perfect choice for this thread

I'll add Keanu Reeves. Fantastic career, by all accounts a great person, but not a good actor

Clint Howard!

That dude is in EVERYTHING!

There are certain roles that Keanu Reeves is suited for, IMO, and he will knock it out of the park. One of my all-time favorite movies is Parenthood with Steve Martin. Reeves was in that and I thought he was absolutely excellent.

Tom Hanks plays Tom Hanks in every movie. Fight me.

Ok I will give you Forrest Gump.

it's what happens to most actors over time. Pacino, DeNiro for examples.

KEVIN HART

There are like 3 actors who don't use the same schtick every time in their movies. That doesn't mean they are a bad actor, it just means you don't like their schtick.

For example, Samuel L Jackson has been in more movies than just about anyone else in history, and plays himself in every movie. He does a great job at playing himself.

Keanu is a toss up, as his emotional range is pretty limited, but the amount of work he puts into his action movies is truly incredible. Same thing with Tom Cruise.

So does almost every other actor in Hollywood.

How you can watch Philadelphia, Saving Private Ryan and Apollo 13 and call his acting bad is dumb.

Then go comedy: A League of Their Own, Big, etc.. His accent was goofy in Terminal but he did a good job. He was the same guy in You've got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle but he sold it. And Cast Away?

He's incredibly versatile, he can handle different emotional deliveries…How anyone can call him a bad actor is mind blowing.

And Pitt is awesome too. He's good in almost everything he does.

Parenthood is just an all-time great movie, and Keanu was great but essentially played Ted, which is his strong-suit. His talk with Dianne Weist about young Joaquin/Leaf bopping the bologna is fantastic.

That entire cast was perfect. Not a single weak spot.

Great Keanu quotes.

Disagree with the take that John Wayne was a bad or "terrible" actor. I will agree that he didn't have much range, but that is because he really didn't have to. He was fantastic at what he did, and who he was supposed to be. He would not have become the icon he did if he had been terrible at acting.
