Robert Dinero (Not sure how he hasnt gotten mentioned more yet)
Cant decide who else right now
Least favorites: way too many to pick only a few, some people mentioned Ben Affleck and Collin Ferrel, i’d definitely agree with those. Also cant stand Vin Diesel and Paul Rudd, i thought his performance in I Love You Man was laughable, and not in the way it was supposed to be.

I just can’t take him seriously. I laughed at his performance in the Wicker Man … literally.[/quote]
Dude, that was a comedy. I refuse to believe otherwise.
If you turn it to mute and play Loony Tunes in the background, tell me you won’t pass out laughing.[/quote]
Nic Cage is one of the finest comedic actors of his generation
My faves:
Christian Bale
Ed Norton
Max Von Sydow
Toshiro Mifune (if we’re allowed to include dead guys)
James Earl Jones
Ellen Burstyn
Hate:
Julia Roberts
Nicole Kidman
Matthew McConaughey
Ben Stiller

Might even try it during Passion of the Christ.[/quote]

Man, I’ll never understand that movie… I left thinking “why the fuck did I just pay 8 bucks for this popcorn?”

Sam Worthington ← type cast can’t act
Henry Fonda. He played alot of aww shucks roles but his heel roles were great as well.
Paul Newman. The Hustler, nuff’ said. Judge Roy Bean was really good too.
Robert DeNero. He has made some stinkers though.
Jack Lemmon. That dude could play a mental case in his sleep. The odd couple was hysterical.
Fuck, those are all old guys lol…
Someone mentioned Bradd Pitt resembling Robert Redford. I’ve been saying that to my wife for years. I hope someday Pitt will do a remake of Jerimiah Johnson with him in the lead role. He won’t fuck up one of my alltime favorite movies.
Worst is tougher. You could say Sandler but he knows he’s shit, probably doesn’t care because he’s filthy rich and some of his movies are funny as hell.
I’ll say this, being an actor/actress has got to be one of the most fucked up jobs out there.

I agree with you. Pretending to be someone else, then if you do a really good job getting all kinds of accolades. But then going into a spiral worrying that people don’t really like or know YOU. Or on the flip-side believing that what you did on screen or stage fills in the gaps of your broken and cracked personality.
I think for a man to chose this career and be able to navigate it well into his adulthood is impressive. Seems you’d have to be very grounded to not fall into all the bullshit and just go out and do your job.
