Most overrated actor ever

Mr. Friendless ...let me add to the Pacino list his performance as Roy Cohn in "Angels in America."

 

Bullshit.

He's a grinning monotone whose balls haven't dropped in everything he's in.

 

I don't buy DiCaprio as an actor. The truly great actors--DeNiro, for instance--make you believe they are the character. When I see DiCaprio, I see DiCaprio playing a character. He was utterly unbelievable in Gangs Of New York, unlike Daniel Day Lewis.

 

Balwin also good in The Cooler

 

I walked out of Gangs of New York. It wasn't a movie, it was a celluloid carnival, which wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't so offensive.

I deeply value some of the movies Tom Cruise has done, especially Spielberg's and Stone's, but he plays the same smug, gormless asshole he is in real life, and that does not meet or transcend talent.

 

You make a good point, shockey. Bull Durham is one of my favorite movies, and I did like Wyatt Earp, but sometimes I kinda step back while it plays and realize he can be one of the most wooden actors I've ever seen.

I really did like his performance in Field of Dreams, though.

 

Dear C,

Pacino was very good in AinA but Ron Liebman was incredible on B-way in same.

But your pt is taken.

YHS, etc

 

Defiitely.

If it ain't sports, he ruins the film.

 

I'm going to get hammered on this but here I go, I'll throw out Cuba Gooding Jr. for arguement's sake. While he isn't exactly a bad actor, he just hasn't completely blown me away in anything and for a while there it seemed like everything he touched people made an effort to hype for an oscar.

 

Gary Cooper.
The guy has all the emotional range of a Rodin sculpture.
(And Pacino has done a lot of brilliant work in the last decade or so, including Donnie Brasco, Carlito's Way, Angels In America and Insomnia. The person who started this thread is off the mark).

 

Absolute steaming, screaming piles of shit, all of them except for Brasco, again because of a strong co-star.
