Common in Silo. It feels like he wandered in off the street and gets prompted for every line. Modern wardrobe and affect in a post-apocalyptic setting. Completely flat and out of tune with the world. Up against Tim Robbins and Iain Glen, it’s just more glaring.
Nothing for me will beat Geri Halliwells walk on bit on SATC. I’m cringing thinking about it
Jim Caviezel in Person of Interest.
One of the better shows of the last 20 years, and horrifyingly prescient about the surveillance nightmares therein, but he’s an ambulatory plank of wood.
What’s worse is that many of his co-star are putting in some of their best work.
Captain Janeway on Voyager. I really think I absolutely hate Kate Mulgrew as an actor.
I gotta go with my man Ice-T on Law & Order: SVU. While the writing does him no favors in making his character seem slow on the uptake, his acting usually consists of loudly talking in a monotone that feels like it was too loudly mixed in ADR even though it’s not.
Yo, you telling me this dude gets off on little girls with pigtails?
Yeah, Ice… he’s a pedophile. You work in the sex crimes division. You’re gonna have to get used to that.
I dunno, he’s gotten better over time.
Is he Brando? Nah, not even close, but he’s put in effort into the role, and it shows.
And he’s had 25 years to develop and improve his portrayal of that character, still all the emotional conveyance of a breeze block.
(Will still watch 90s action movies with him, though.)
Ruby Rose in batwoman was pretty bad.
This lady has to be my pet peeve most hated actress. She is just, a really poor actress and as far as I can tell has only her reasonable level of attractiveness going for her and rode into all those supporting roles on the high of the new butch lesbo biker trope.
Yeah i don’t have a problem with her as a person or her orientation. She just seems like the standard nepobaby. That got setup to do everything from modeling to music to acting. I don’t know about the other stuff but her acting is flat like she is always reading her lines from a card just off screen her face flat all the time. Comparing that to someone like Charlize Theron where in some roles I can’t even tell that it’s her i just see her character.
Oh yeah don’t misunderstand me either, I don’t know or care what her actual sexual orientation is, do as/who you like of course.
I’m just incredibly bored by the movie trope that she embodies so well, and am also annoyed she apparently makes no effort ever to break out of that mold. Girl got no range at all
Yeah apart of me wonders if it’s just type casting that she can’t break out of. But it’s on her to not try to push the boundaries of what she can do. Jack Quaid has the same problem but at least he is trying to break out of it even if the results are mixed.
The US version of Ghosts, I think a lot of the jokes are pretty good but man the line reads from the main couple can be really painful at times.
Scott Grimes, J. Lee, Halston Sage, and Anne Winters on The Orville. Every single one of them does amateurish line readings that make it hard to suspend disbelief. I still like the show overall, though.
I almost feel like it’s intentional. It adds to the charm, IMO.
Most stuff I watch doesn’t have bad acting in it. I’ll say that I saw the introductory episodes of Megan Ketch as Kate Lansing in Blue Bloods and didn’t exactly care for her acting.
Ryan Guzman’s acting in 9-1-1 hasn’t been that good for the most part but he’s really dialed in for this current season so it’s hard to hate on him anymore.
