nobody mentioned, but Chris pratt, originally he was being casted in EVERYTHING. after parks and recs he has no range, hes just a sad moody pos irl too, supporting a alt-right church, and his sudden switch to evangelicalism. anne farris in an interview said he changed to a gymbo the moment he got buff for marvel/JP movies.
The past participle of “cast” is “cast”.
Whomstedestesteries’
I scrolled through the entire thread down and back up, it’s a bit of a shock that John Wayne was not mentioned even once… until now.
“Howdy, partner, I’m Genghis Khan.”
I think that’s because he’s essentially irrelevant in pop culture these days
Samuel L. Jackson is the first name to pop into my head upon reading the thread title.
Johnny Sins
Will Smith
Nah, Will does have range. Theres alot of reasons he is terrible but thats not one of them.
Ryan Reynolds. There were some other movies but once he was in Deadpool, I feel like his whole personality was sarcastic mean funny guy
He was him even back in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place.
And waiting
He did a weird indie film called “The Nines” he can turn the chops on when he wants to. I find it hard to criticise those people because “Hey, want to earn millions of dollars doing this the easy way? Or you can go do some passion projects to prove a point and make less.” Is a damn awkward spot to be in.
Im sure we all like to think we would take the route of Sandler doing Uncut Gems, I love to think that was him just telling his haters to go fuck themselves. “Just because I dont, doesnt mean I cant”
He was already kind of heading that way before Deadpool. I rewatched Buried and he was still doing that, just with less references so he didn’t sound like Gex.
he was in wolverine the 2009 one as wade. hes pretty much the same thing as in deadpool just slighty less loudmouth. he did play that wierd schizophrenic character in the one movie that nobody remembers.
The Voices. And that movie is fantastic.
It is, but he’s still him, just with more mental health issues.
Waiting (2005) was him as himself as a waiter
Van Wilder?
Aziz Ansari
Kevin hart
For the most part, Jason Momoa
that is true, he was the same person in SGA atlantis, in aquaman(atlantis), dune, and GOT. he was more entertaining when he started out in SGA.
He did do something different for the minecraft movie though.
The rock “the rock” the rock johnson
But you must admit that he’s hilarious at it.
Not even a little
His whole deal was pretty funny for a few weeks in the early 2000s.
He used to do this eyebrow thing that killed it back in the second week of March, 2001.
Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?!
Danny Trejo
Isn’t that intentional though?
He specifically requests to be a bad guy and to lose in the end because of his experience with crime and prison in his youth and wanting to be an example of crime not winning.
Rob Zombie’s Halloween. Instead of grizzled badass he’s the kindly janitor that still gets brutally murdered by Michael. He’s still playing a version of Danny Trejo, the director just reframed how the audience viewed him.
Spy Kids
Sean Connery is not an actor, he’s a movie star.
Yesh, I am a British shecret agent. Bond, Jamesh Bond.
Yesh, I am a Shoviet Shubmarine captain. my name is Ramiush. Marco Ramiush.
Jamesh Bond sounds like a bollywood version. Would watch
I mustache you a question but I’m shaving it for later
Don’t forget Zardoc!
I’m not shpanish i’m egyptian
One of my favorite fan theory’s is that Sean was 007 left to rot by MI6 in The Rock.
Jeff Goldblum
This is one of the few that’s correct but also completely fine, IMO.
If he only ever plays himself, that makes his transformation into a fly all the more impressive.
Steven Seagal
OP’s question was about actors though
He’s become a walrus with a ponytail
I’m pretty sure he’s sometimes a cop now too. I heard of someone getting pulled over by him a while back.
The Rock
hes too lazy to act in anything else. he just wants to be a movie star. bautista and cena is trying to become an actor. apparently DWAYNE behind the scences thats his contracts and it rubbed people the wrong way.
I honestly really enjoy cena in the stuff he’s in
Peacemaker had no right to be as good as it was.
Cena’s been surprisingly skilled. From psych to peacemaker he’s been bringing it.
one of his first roles was in psych, he played the part. but he probably got better since then.
Everyone sleeping on Vacation Friends. A fun movie
His hands are hilariously huge. I watched that forest firefighter movie he was in and laughed every time he used a cellphone.
He was great in Pluribus
yeah what I have seen has been fun.
“I dislike that you enjoy someone else’s work” - Somebody else on Lemmy
… who’s contract? You just mentioned 3 people.
Less than a year ago, he starred in a Safdie-directed, A24-produced biopic which earned him a couple of acting award noms, including a Golden Globe. Granted, it was the biggest flop of his career (so far), but from what I understand his acting chops were not the movie’s problem.
Counterexample:
Pain & GainI have a love hate relationship with that movie for an interesting reason (IMO). There is not a sympathetic or likeable character in the whole thing.
The only person who isnt actively dislikeable is Ed Harris and he barely qualifies as a character.
I liked Rebel Wilson’s character.
I feel like he was himself but dumber in that movie lol
Yeah, but he took steroids in that movie, and The Rock says he is natty 🤡
