Can't remember the movie..the Hit Men or something like that...Walberg was in it with one of the worst -now doing alot of horror movies- actors I can think of...Lou Diamond Phillips....I know so many of you love him from Young Guns...but if he isn't playing a stereotyped Indian/Mexican/oriental...he just plain cannot pull it off. Anyone remember him from one of the first seasons of Miami Vice? The way he contorts and falls when getting shot at the end...oh man...grab the barf bag please.

havent seen him stretch as an actor yet - but maybe that makes him aware of his limitations - therefore a smart actor.
are you serious?

Have you seen the italian job remake or the planet of the apes remake, or any of his films?
granted He was good in the basketball diaries, and boogie nights, but the only reason he was good in boggie nights was because he was playing someone who couldn't act!

yep i'm serious..
planet of the apes was shit - but it wasnt his fault - it was Burtons

i havent seen MW give what i would consider a performance worthy of the 'worst ever' yet..

lord have mercy - you call yourself a horror fan and you cant come up with anything worse than him ? you cant swing a dead cat in the world of horror film without hitting a dozen worse actors..

If you look back at my origanal post urge, I said he is the worst actor who keeps getting big parts, I can think of a number of horror actors who deserved more of a chance than he got...

It's more so that he is so one dimensional it's not funny, you just know what your going to get with him, he can't act, he only has one face!

oops i did miss that ..

i still think he's a decent actor though ... hardly the worst.

kevin kostner is worse than him..

i'm suprised people didnt jump on the keanu reeves or ben aflect bandwagons as usual.


i never consider an actor bad if they are limited and stay withing their scope until they develope - which isnt hard to do since the hollywood execs dont like to gamble their money and choose to run with the tried and tested formula. this is why typecasting flourishes.

when i watch a movie and see the actors performing exactly what the role demands of them .. i think they are doing their job.

some stretch themselves and prove to be above average or great.

i believe to be a truely bad actor - you are either dealing with a bad director (and editor) or you have something quite rare and special .. someone who simply cant act but somehow seems to keep getting parts ..

that's extremely rare .. a bad director is far more common.


the example i always use is Hell Comes to Frogtown VS They Live.

Hell Comes to Frogtown is a joke .. Roddy was bad .. BAD in that.
They Live - 1 year later ... and he was great.

One director understood Roddys strengths and weaknesses and knew how to use one to his best advantage - and limit exposure to the other.

the other director didnt have a clue ...

its like being any good leader/coach/manager ... understand the capabilities and limitations of your people and you can build a winning team of players that will compliment each other.

yeah .. he's annoying ... sometimes it works .. like Just Friends ..

whatever he does - it worked in that film .. (especially the relationship with his brother)

but in almost everything else .. he's tedious.

(i never saw Van Wilder so i dont know how he was in that)

That movie (Van Wilder) was so bad I ate an entire chicken, and I was in the cinema, this was when I still ate meat. I didn't pay for the movie only the chicken.
