About Clint Eastwood: having seen In the Line of Fire and Million Dollar Baby, I must disagree with your assessment.  He can show quite an emotional range when the role calls for it.  However, most of his roles do not call for it.




I agree with notty, but for those who want to know Clint as himself need look no further than Unforgiven.  Director, actor, etc.  I've only watched one modern western better.

I am a fan of Clint Eastwood, and I love the fact that he donates a gym, and his time for the low income area folks.

There's a difference between "overrated actors" and "actors I hate". Overratedness is a function of how you're rated to begin with. Keanu Reeves is pretty hard to watch for more than 5 minutes, but face it: nobody watches a Keanu Reeves movie expecting Olivier.

Consider a classic example: John Wayne. I know everybody loves the Duke, but he really didn't act much at all; he just behaved. However, he behaved like himself really damn well, and that's not easy to do. If you've ever watched a porno, or one of those Playboy Films movies that they make to maintain the fiction that being a centerfold is a good intro to showbiz, you've seen truly BAD acting. All the people named on this thread can at least "act" in front of a camera -- the question of how overrated they are depends completely on how highly they're rated in the first place.

Colin Farrell, Will Farrell, Adam Sandler, Keanu Reeves all do what they do tolerably well, and nobody's calling them great actors to begin with. Hilary Swank has made a lot of clunkers, but she sure showed some chops in Boys Don't Cry... so, is she overrated? I don't know.

Same goes for Heath Ledger. If all you had to go on was A Knight's Tale, well, Heath would look like yesterday's smelly beefcake, but -- think what you will of the movie -- he did a hell of a job in Brokeback Mountain. Marlon Brando was pretty pathetic at the end of his career, but in On The Waterfront, Streetcar Named Desire, Apocalypse Now -- Damn! There's no question he *could* act.

Can Keira Knightley act? I dunno, so far she hasn't had a role as anything but a jelly doughnut, but who knows what talents she might have if the right part comes along?

So, all that being said, I have a candidate for overrated actor: Scarlett Johanssen (sp?) After Ghost World and Lost In Translation, I just don't know what to say. Nice rack, yup, but actress -- nope.

Josh Brolin.Roles are now made easy to fill so someone like him can fill them in easily since lots of CGI is used instead of makeup.

Channing Tatum.  He was popular with the ladies as Michael "Magic Mike" Lane.
In real life he is a dullard, an adulterer and a shitty actor too.

Kiera Knightly was a co-star of a bollywood movie film with a india girl that wants to play soccer.

It wasn't a Bollywood film. It was a 2002 British romcom called Bend It Like Beckham, which was nominated for a Golden Globe. It was produced, written and directed by Gurinder Chadha. It starred Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Anupam Kher, Shaznay Lewis and Archie Panjabi.

Parminder Nagra played Dr. Neela Rasgotra on the last six seasons (2003-2009) of the NBC medical drama ER, and has a recurring role on ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Jonathan Rhys Meyers  was in films like Match Point and Mission: Impossible III, won a Golden Globe for his TV portrayal of Elvis Presley in 2005, and played King Henry VIII in the Showtime series The Tudors.

Anupam Kher is an award-winning legend of the Indian cinema with hundreds of productions to his credit, including the Oscar-winning Hollywood film Silver Linings Playbook (2013). He is currently guest-starring on the NBC medical drama New Amsterdam.

Shaznay Lewis is an English singer, songwriter, and member of the girl group All Saints; Bend It Like Beckham was her major film debut.

Archie Panjabi is a British actress who has starred in award-winning films such as East is East and The Constant Gardener. She perhaps is best known in America for her role as Kalinda Sharma on CBS's legal drama The Good Wife, for which she won a 2010 Primetime Emmy Award and a 2012 NAACP Image Award.


Every one of the above actors is head-and-shoulders above Keira Knightley in terms of quality of their work, and in their acting ability. Why Keira's star rose so high after Bend It Like Beckham, including being a part of the wildly-successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, is still a mystery to me. Along with Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence, she is on my top five "most-overrated actors" list.

He was mentioned before, but I am always surprised he is still in movies: Nicolas Cage
Anti-social behaviours lack consideration for the well-being of others. Any types of conduct that violates basic rights (human rights is one of them) of another person. It can show as covert or overt hostility.

Ben Affleck
I don’t find anything interesting about him.I also find it odd that he was one of the few that was called out in the metoo movement for that touchy-feely interview he did a few years back and he got away with it.I have heard he’s a scumbag behind the scenes.
I think when his career is over that people will be saying to themselves “This guy won an Oscar?”.

George Clooney. He gets rated as a great actor, but acts the same way for every role. He should be rated along side of actors like the Rock or Arnold Schwarzenegger. They are good at what they do, but they only do the same character.
