I haven't seen him in a while but I know a guy who's an actor and, at various times, has been a main character in a couple of long running UK TV shows and he's a pretty down-to-earth bloke, not in the least precious.

soap actors and the like are probably (in general) the best adjusted professional actors, punch in punch out

I’ve never fancied Jude Law but he’s been great in at least six things and is well above the Bloom bar

ryan o neill is the only person i've posted who has ever been good in anything
Even excluding the MCU, I’ve seen at least 70% of all Portman movies and she’s bad in all of them, whereas I can’t say the same about Hanks or Jude Law or ScarJo.

Burt Lancaster was terrible in the wrong movie, as usual, but good and often great in a good one.
There. I summed up the thread.

do you actually have to have seen them in anything? if not, I nominate Eddie Redmayne
― rob, Tuesday, 2 February 2021 17:44 (three years ago) link
yes Eddie Redmayne is a horrible actor and The Danish Girl is in the running for most execrable moviewatching experience

Burt Lancaster was great. You know who sucked? Kirk Douglas.

Also remember that period when Kate Beckinsale was seemingly cast in everything? Can’t remember a single one of her performances... just a complete non-entity. Ditto Eric Bana.

There's a difference between a bad actor and a lazy actor, imo, and Harrison Ford is definitely a lazy actor (to the point of probably actually being baked 90% of the time). There was a period when he tried, but my theory has always been that when he didn't get any awards buzz for The Mosquito Coast, he decided he officially couldn't be arsed anymore and just settled for doing the smirk and the clawhand for the rest of his career.
Hopkins and Caine and Pacino and all those lads will definitely take major advantage of an inexperienced director to ham it up and go their own way, but they're all great when they're pulled into line by the right people, I think. They just haven't met the right people in a long time.
