The Worlds Worst Actor
We havent abused this function in far too long a period of time, and as its 2:30 am and i cant sleep, i figured id lob you this little time waster.
Up first, we have 4 of the worlds "Finest" exponents of the Action Blockbuster Genre. 4 men whos membership of Equity is only in name, and their connection to the term "Actor" is exceptionally tenuous indeed.
Worlds Worst Actor from these 4 please. Ill be taking suggestions by PM for a humourous use of the poll function for next week. Worlds Worst Moderator is not going up as a poll, as ive already got that one nailed.

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
I'll not vote until I see that guy from Underworld - Scott Speedman.
Although the movie rocked more than a tad (<3 Kate Beckinsale <3), his acting was dire. Oh wait, it wasn't dire. Because it wasn't there.

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
Arnie gets my vote. Although Vin Diesel does need acting lessons I think his better performances was in The Fast and The Furious. Every other film he did was just dire.

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
It's a tough choice between The Rock and Vin Diesel but on the merit of xXx it's got to be Vinny boy.

An actor is someone who acts. An entertainer is someone who entertains.

imo every tv/movie actor is an entertainer to some extent especially when talking about the kind of movies the actors in this poll have made.

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
Stallone made a few films in which he acted quite good (Cop land, Assassins, The Specialist). Not telling he's a great actor, but CERTAINLY better than Vin xXx Diesel. I rented that one last year, had to suppress the urge to press rewind all the time 
Oh and Stallone can't suck, he only got sucked in his first movies (he started as porn actor  )

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
The biggest crime in xXx was not in fact Vin Diesel, or anything that he did. Oh no. The biggest crime was right at the end of the film, with Samuel L Jackson embarassing himself in a way surpassable only had he shat himself:

xXx was dire. Only watched it because of Rammstein wee small appearance.

Underworld was shocking (in my opinion...). Had nice potential, but it tried too hard to be gothic and dark.
Which character did Scott Speedman play? I'd guess he was either the human guy, or the baddy dude on the vampires side (Kraven). They were both terrible performances.

I generally liked Underworld a lot; it's dark and gothy theme came out quite nicely, imo.

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
Sly can't be due simply to his
"ADRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"
and the fine rocky acting.
Arnie did that fine face exploding constipation moment in total recall.
Dwayne, well, movie wise, erm, he sold that arrow to the back well in scorpion king..........
Vinny D, has two facial expressions, both utilised well in a a man apart.
votes gotta go to Vinny D

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
Why isn't Jeremy Irons in this for his 'performances' in Damage and the bloody awful film with the girly from that film with that bloke in it who got his mobile pinched while not looking for gay sex at 2 in the morning in a London Park.
I don't mean to be vague, I just cant remember either title

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
Voted for Keanu Reeves. I mean honestly that guy isn't an actor, he just showed up one day and some director gave him the part because he was wanker drunk and he's somehow fluked his way along actually being given roles in films.

Re: The Worlds Worst Actor
I agree (in response to Keanu Reeves).
My drama-y ex-girlfriend said I just "didn't understand and get it" - apparently that's how he is supposed to act in his roles. I just think he's shocking and gives off no charisma. But she gets in a paddy when I tell her she's wrong :/

There's a reason that Keanu Reaves's best roles have been when he's been playing morons who have no idea what's going on (The Matrix, Bill & Ted).

Deliberately missed out both Van Damme and Seagal as neither has had a movie that grossed over $20 million in the last 5 years. Both are spent forces, and even DMX outgrosses them for action movies.
Besides , if i had included them, Seagal would have won by about 3 trillion votes. He has the charisma of a charcoal briquette.

Stephen Seagal is actually the earliest known usage of CGI animation. Unfortunately the technology wasn't too great back then.
