Overrated Actors

  Can you think of an actor who has little or no charm, is not a very good actor, yet still manages to find work and moderate success?

I'm tempted to suggest most porn starlets.

Fred Thompson is a decent actor but he hasn't exactly set the world on fire. I think the word to describe him best would be "journeyman".

As for Nicolas Cage, it's not that he's overrated, it's just that he is not as discriminating in his choice of roles now that he's won his Oscar (e.g. Ghost Rider, National Treasure).

I saw Angelina Jolie's role in A Mighty Heart described as being from a "weak actress but a strong presence". I guess that fits the bill of "overrated actor".

And while we're disrespecting action men, add Steven Seagal and Toby Maguire to the mix.

Tom Hanks. He was great in all those light comedies (Big, Splash, etc.), but then he started getting critical acclaim and attention and wanted more. So he switched to drama, and was in over his head. Luckily for him, and unluckily for us, he made big, pretentious Movies With A Message - the type the critics go crazy over, so he got truckloads of awards. But it still doesn't hide his shortcomings.
