For all the people saying Stallone watch Rocky 1, Copland and some of his other lesser known stuff that doesn't involve explosions. He can act.
My vote goes for the guy from Circle of Pain. Watched it at the weekend and could not believe how bad he is.
Although I net any of those 99p action films in tesco have much worse acting then anyone anyone has mentioned on this thread.
yes Stallone underrated as an actor, should be given more serious roles, out acted the entire cast in Copland and that was some castMy vote goes for the guy from Circle of Pain. Watched it at the weekend and could not believe how bad he is.

Agreed, Copland was an excellent film for Stallone. he really shone in that. I can't believe some people have said Sir Ian McKellen. I guess those people have never seen a live perfornamce of his. His performance with Sir Patrick Stewart in 'Waiting for Godot' was absolutely brilliant.
My choice for worst actor goes to Danny Dyer. What an abortion.

He wasn't much better in Jumper either
Good God that was an awful film. It was as if someone once said "hey, wouldn't it be cool if you could teleport?", and the entire screenplay was that one thought but in different locations and with Samuel L Jackson knitted in. Woeful. Even watching it on a 'plane I felt like my time had been wasted. I could have been gazing at a seatback with that time.People keep mentioning Tom Cruise, but let's not forget he's been the victim of some bad films. The best actor in the world couldn't have saved The Last Samurai from being s
t. It takes something like Rainman to see how he does without explosions and stuff, and he seems pretty good in that.I'm coming into this thread late... and with a cliche.
Keanu Reeves.
By Christ he's a bad actor. I thought he was a bit 'stiff' in the Matrix films, but thought that was just the character.
Then I watched some of his other stuff and thought he was fairly bad.
Then recently I watched a recent 'bank robbery' film of his called Henry's Crime.
Holy mother of god, I have never seen a single film ruined so much by utterly unwatchable acting. Good plot, decent script, well filmed, decent budget obviously, but rendered fking awful by Reeves creaking his way through it in the most wooden and uncomfortable way ever. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
Edited to add: it's that bad it's worth watching as a textbook example of good film combined with awful acting.

From what I've seen, THE most annoying bell end in Eastenders, and that is seriously saying something. I personally like Nicolas Cage, but this video doesn't do him any favours...

It's got to be Lindsay Lohan. Is there anything she's done that that doesn't want you to pull out you own eyeballs..
Good job this is hidden away, otherwise you'd be in for a veritable beating tomorrow when the masses wake up - apparently Lohan is often sacrosant.However, FWIW, I don't disagree - rubbish at the day job, car crash and really not much to write home about to compensate.
