    Who has been in a number of high profile movies that you think can't act?

    Halle Berry doesn't do anything for me. It seems like she goes through all of the motions, but I never believe her characters.

    Does it have to be high profile flicks?

    Vin Diesel can't act.
    LisaRaye can't act.
    Boris Kodjoe (as fine as he is) can't act.
    Beyonce can't act.

    Brad Pitt? Really? I understand his popularity is a bit over zealous but I think he really does have acting chops. He's made quite a few good movies. Same with Tom Cruise. And Angelina Jolie.

    For my own benefit, what is the definition of "actors who can't act". I need that info to reevaluate Brad Pitt, since I did like the following:




    The Tree of Life
    Inglourious Basterds
    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    Burn After Reading
    The Assassination of Jesse James
    Babel


    BTW...later this year will play Billy Beane...in "Moneyball". Really looking forward to this flick, so any input will help. Thanks!

    Agreed. I also thought he was pretty good in Kalifornia, Twelve Monkeys and Snatch.

    I will not include Humphrey Bogart. He showed the goods in The Caine Mutiny and The African Queen.

    John Travolta's gotten better with time but I still don't care for him, though I liked a few of his flicks.

    I never considered Angelina Jolie a good actress at all.

    I think that might be more a case of bad choices. I think, if given the right role he can do a very good job. Like in The Town. Great movie.

    Some ppl mentioned Seth Rogen & Will Ferrell.

    You might as well add Paul Rudd & Michael Cera for the same reason.

    They are not actors, they are comedians.

    A movie director and friend named George Seaton regularly visited the bedridden Edmund Gwenn (Miracle on 34th Street) at the Motion Picture Country House. The nickname Seaton used for Gwenn was Teddy. On Seaton’s final visit the following dialog reportedly ensued [NREG]:

    “All this must be terribly difficult for you, Teddy.”

    “Not nearly as difficult as playing comedy,” he answered cheerfully.

    They were his words of exit. His head turned on the pillow. He was dead. Up to his last breath and in spite of great physical suffering, Gwenn had actually lived the gentle whimsicality on which his career was based.

    Oh, Lordy, you didn't think he did a tremendous job in 'Boston Legal'? I thought he played it so well it was creepy.

    But a lot of mediocre actors get a lot better in their later years, like Tom Selleck and Alec Baldwin.

    I liked the show well enough the times I did see it but taking the body of his work, Eh. When your acting style becomes the object of ridicule, you've done something wrong.

    How do explain DeNiro or Brando? Both have had stellar award winning careers and they have been the subject or ridicule more than once
