Which actor stretched the most career out of the least talent?
>>215667691He's quite talented thougheverbeit
>>215667756He plays himself in every single movie he's in. Zero range.
>>215667756lol no
>>215667756Being good looking isn't a talent
Most jew actors
>>215667780>>215667795>>215667800You're wrong thougheverbeit
Leonardo DicaprioRobert De NiroJack Nicholson
Great in the 90sDecent in the 2000sBland as shit since the 2010s. I feel he just gave up.
>>215667756Lol
>>215667780He is not a pikey bareknuckle boxer IRL.
>>215667691As an actor Kevin Costner though he's a talented director.
>>215667838>Jack Nicholson>not S tier acting talentThis has to be bait
>>215667858>I’M LE WACKY CRAZY GUY HURR DURR
>>215667855Costner's lack of range is based because he seems like the type that the studio is afraid of bringing it up to, as opposed to Pitt getting away with it because every woman in the world will pay to see him.
>>215667838Leo I'll give to you, but the other two were legitimately great in their prime, even if it only lasted a couple of years for both
>>215667870That's how you perceived his character in Chinatown?
>>215667870Nicholson always had a based schizo edge, but he could also play it straight.
Keanu and Arnold literally cannot act
>>215667691He was talented... at servicing movie executive's nethers.He's not even that good looking. His face reminds me of a chimp.
>>215667691That’s my boyfriend who is in the hospital. I have photographic evidence
>>215667691Obviously
>>215667691Like the two you debate (Pitt and Costner). Travolta, Cage and Penn are three who just have no charisma. Actress Roberts and Danes are unwatchable.Two worst to work with are Willis and Crowe. Two best were Hanks and Gibson. NO actress is good to work with, neurotic or self-entitled; both that's Julia R.
>>215667691Objectively correct answer is Steven Seagal
>>215667756a talent for prop use while pretty is not really that much of a talent above stick twirler. Yeah he can magic carpet ride the bike one footed like no one I've ever seen before, I'll give him that.
>>215668061>I'll be vaxxed
>>215668091Seagal is so cringe he is based.

>>215667780Counterpointhttps://youtu.be/guGt8TTNxSQ?si=cxNh25mpbfVAF6Oq
>>215667780Snatch and fight club
>>215667691Will Farrell
>>215668205I can't STAND that fag and the stupid faces he makes. Fuck Will Ferrell.
>>215667838Nicholson falls back on his familiar mannerisms, outside of 5 easy pieces + The Passenger which is genuinely difficult to hold ppl's attention + lead an abstract aimless story.
>>215668205It’s weird how we all woke up one day and realized “likable person but yells’ isn’t actully funny.Like his devil contract expired and the spell was broken.He has also stared in about a dozen flicks absolutely no one has seen, the about of chances he was given after he was no longer a box office star is sort of crazy, or has he would say, cra cra!
>>215667954Keanu has presence for Scifi
>>215668397I was never a fan of him. The cowbell skit was the only time I thought he was tolerable, but I always cringed at any movie he was in. Never bothered with Elf because I really can't stand him.
>>215668397
>>215668172da jamahcan accent make me da goo' ack-tor
>>215667780he played a good crazy person in 12 monkeys too
>>215668403Bill & Ted films he was good in too.
>>215667691This nigger by a fucking mile. He did irreversible damage to acting and is still sucked off by everyone and their fucking mother.
>>215667691It's hard because a-list actors are usually good at at least one thing, be it playing characters, or emotional range, or action scenes, or just being confident/charismatic, or comedic timing. Most of them are bad at playing different characters with different personalities and accents and stuff which seems like the hardest kind of acting, Brad is not really bad at that, he was quite good in 12 Monkeys. Keanu has the worst line delivery by far I'd say, but his action stuff is entertaining and his movies are still mostly good.
>>215668542dilate tranny
>>215668542>irreversible damage to actingWhat the fuck this combination of words even suppose to mean, you cretin?
>>215667691Jack Black, easily.
>>215668435A Night at the Roxbury Is cringe kino
>>215668544>Keanu has the worst line delivery by far I'd say,His Neo was really good. Some characters stick, some don't for him. There definitely was a point in the 90s where he had a bunch of duds, acting wise.
>>215668544>Keanu has the worst line delivery by far I'd sayThe thing is he's managed to make his shitty stoner delivery his brand. It's downright comedic in something like Dracula or Knock Knock but in the hands of the right director or screenplay it works well. And in campy action movies where he's delivering shitty one-liners he's one of the few who can still do that well given much like Tom Cruise he's one of those industry veterans still around and convincing from the time when action movies ruled the BO.
>>215668560>trannyI'm too much of a chud for John Wayne (I'm more of a Mitchum guy). What do you think now, tranny?>>215668566>What the fuck this combination of words even suppose to meanHe was pretty much the first lead to ever "play himself" in every single role and never take any risks or ever attempt anything requiring actual talent beyond "tough talking guy that always beats everyone up and wins every fight". He was like the original Pebble in that regard.

>>215667691tie
>>215668879>Does /tv/ actually watch movies?The thing is he plays very similar characters regarding traits and mannerisms in these movies. It's just that he or his agent have good taste in screenplays/directors.
>>215667883>PittHe is a good actor but his looks blind most people to that. He does make a lot of lazy choices and coast off being very handsome but when he puts in effort he shows real talent.
>>215668919i guarantee you've never seen any of those movies he listed
>>215667780Over the last decade, yes. Earlier in his career he seemed to actually try. He doesn't really need to try now, so he doesn't.
>>215668942>you've never seen any of those movies he listedI've seen 12 Monkeys and Interview With a Vampire and several others he's been in both old and new. I like him but he's not exactly Tom Cruise when it comes to acting ability, he's a heartthrob/action hero, and there's nothing wrong with that.
>>215668919>Tired, jaded stock trader >Loud, obnoxious gym trainer way over his head>Shy old man with a teenager's mindsetDude can act, people just cast him to play Achilles and Mr Smith all the time
>>215668978Tom Cruise can’t act
clint eastwood
>>215668897Adam Sandler has a surprising amount of range. He'd be one that I would say it's kind of underrated in his ability desu.
>>215668984>Dude can actI never said he was a bad actor, just that he lacks range. You know what you're going to get when you're watching a Brad Pitt movie, his filmography isn't really full of surprises.>>Shy old man with a teenager's mindsetYeah and he was fucking shit in Benjamin Button. As a huge Fitzgerald fanboy I loathe that movie along with every other adaptation of his bibliography (which I'd argue is the best and most consistent of any major American author, but it has a curse for adaptation I'd argue is only comparable with Ito for unadaptability).
>>215669009>Tom Cruise can’t actIn just the 1980s he had All the Right Moves, Risky Business, The Outsiders, Color of Money, Legend, Top Gun, Born on the Fourth of July, and Rain Man. That's more range than Pitt's entire filmography.
>>215669017Adam sanders problem is he ab libs are par for the course in his films and when he lets the ab lib come out he defaults to angry yelling guy or whisper apologetic guy.
>>215667691Brad Pitt is cool. I'm watching Interview with the Vampire right now and Brad is definitely falling behind Tom Cruise but what I'm really noticing is how bad Christian Slater is. He's doing that scoff before every line thing that bad actors do.
>>215669043To be fair I have never seen a single one of those films, I retract my statement,I have a weird gap in movie knowledge Becuase growing up I was only allowed to watch films made before 1965 so I never caught up with a lot of 80s films
>>215667841Uhh, Killing Them Softly ring a bell?
>>215669095>how bad Christian Slater isYeah he's really shit while Pitt mostly goes through the motions. What's really remarkable is just how much of the movie is carried by Cruise + Banderas as well as the fantastic aesthetic/setting.
>>215668843Jackson has incredible range, he just type casts himself
>>215667780>snatch>12 monkeys>12 years a slave>big short>inglorious basterds>benjamin button>burn after reading>babel>interview with the vampire
>>215669120no one knows this film exists, but it is absolute kinography
>>215668435never really had any interest in him because it seemed like the women or occasionally the guests were carrying him on snl. like you could just replace him with peter griffin in his movies because it's standard buffoonery. to be fair he's got a few good work hits like that one but being easy to throw into something doesn't make you funny or really much of a star.
>>215669117>I have a weird gap in movie knowledge Becuase growing up I was only allowed to watch films made before 1965 so I never caught up with a lot of 80s filmsThat's rough. I assume you were raised in a Sedevacantist or similar household?Anyway, if you were to watch any two of those movies to get an idea about how talented Crusie is as an actor, I'd highly recommend you watch Top Gun and then Born on the Fourth of July>Maverick (Top Gun): cocky red meat all-American gigachad who casts a massive shadow over protagonists in sci-fi, military, and anime/manga vs.>Ron (Born on the Fourth of July): timid but ambitious and patriotic teenager in the early 1960s whose life is ruined after he's paralyzed in Vietnam and then goes through a series of traumatic personal tragedies that results in him becoming the face of the anti-war movementIt's really incredible that he did two completely polar opposite characters in equally contrasting Cold War films in the span of a few years.
>>215667780>Zero range.So he's like 99% of hollywood actors?
>>215668897Couldn't have picked a worse pic. Both have incredible range.
>>215668897Walter Mitty and Punch-Drunk Love alone omit these two from this discussion, never mind the other kinos these two have been in or made.
>>215667691John Wayne
>Which actor stretched the most career out of the least talent?/thread
>>215667855Watch 3000 Miles to Graceland.
>>215667691Keanu Reeves
>>215667954Arnold is a strange case because sometimes he feels completely natural on screen and exhibits quite a lot of skill (Predator, Terminator 2) but then he has movies like Twins where he's just god awful in every scene.
>>215668091Plebe take. He only ever had two decent films, one of which he was the fifth string in (Under Siege) and the other he was playing his alter ego and still played second fiddle (Out of Justice). If anything, given those, two films were what launched his infamy, he's an abject failure.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLe_BZ1mo3I
>>215668143Big enough to be one of the prime action stars of the 90s.
>>215668897Kikes are guaranteed roles in their psy-op machine -- talent is far from a prerequisite.

>>215669629>>215668143>so desperate to be contrarian that they don't even understand the thread topicRead the OP again and think really, really hard. >>215668091 is correct. Seagal has absolutely no talent and managed to stretch that into an acting career that, assuming he's done making films, lasted from 1988 to 2019. Pretty much everything post-2000 was direct to video, sure, but he put out a film every year or two which means that they were making some kind of money and he maintained a career as an actor. It's pretty impressive, considering.
>>215667691Cuba Gooding Jr.
>>215670025>Nicholas CagePleb spottedHe made both kino and hilariously bad roles
>>215669161He wasn’t in The Big Short.
>>215670191His only good roles were Birdy and Adaptation, and he wouldn't even have an acting career if he wasn't a CoppolaHe's also lucky to have an army of redditors like you to suck him off for being le quirk chungus overactor xD
>>215668542Idiot take. Movie stars are above actors. They have what actors covet, charisma. Doesn’t matter if they play the same guy in every movie. They bring asses to whatever movie they’re in. Want to know why Hollywood is shit now, just doing big IPs and remakes? Because no movie stars anymore outside Tom Cruise. Actors can’t sell movies anymore. Look at Leo Dicaprio and The Rock. Both original movies. Both bombed horribly

>>215670306>charismaWayne has zero charisma, he's a complete plank of wood, and when he's not in a shitty Western or a bad war movie he's hilariously out of his depth because he just turns whatever thing he's in into a shitty Western. I was fucking fuming when he almost made a decent drama with Quiet Man only for him to turn it into another fucking shitty Western by the end.>They bring asses to whatever movie they’re inYeah 10 years ago, the future is now old man. IP and kino are the only things that put asses in seats these days. If John Wayne were a star today he'd be just as roundly mocked for being an insecure cuckold as the Pebble is, only unlike the Pebble who proved himself as an actor in Smashing Machine Wayne can't even fucking do that.
>>215670401>some people on this site overestimate their own influence on the worldI guarantee there was not a single person outside of /tv/ autists watching new Nicholas Cage movies in the 2010s.
>>215670398This guy became famous too late, if he was an 80s action star he'd been way bigger, now there's just no one there to give him decent roles
>>215670246Weather Man is classic
>>215670404> IP and kino are the only things that put asses in seats these days.You’re fag. Guarantee you bitch endlessly why no original movies just capeshit, remakes and big IPs.

>>215668498>Not ballad of ricky bobby
>>215670233daym brad was so un brad pitt in big short you thought he wasn't even in it... GOAT
Steven Seagal
>>215670445I'd say his era was perfect for him. He wasn't physically huge like Stallone or Arnie because he's a swimmer so he would have looked pathetic during that time.
>>215667691like almost every jew
>>215667691Some random bimbo who only got cast for her tits, obviously. So probably Pamela Anderson.
>>215670431Yeah, that's the stuff I'm talking about. Right up there with /pol/ pretending that they're determining the outcome of presidential elections.
>>215667691Marlon Brando. The guy isn't a good actor. His entire career was based on him making a pouty face early in his career which made him popular and he coasted on his early fame. He doesn't really even act. He just throws in pauses and makes faces so midwits start trying to interpret what kind of deep emotion might be going on behind those eyes. You can see it on his face that he doesn't care about what scene he is doing, doesn't know what his character should be thinking, he just busts out random faces as filler, starts darting his eyes everywhere, sighs and shakes his head, and it's all empty. He overreacts while using the wrong emotions. A total fraud.
>>215668575It's a pity good answers like this go ignored, I guess because there's nothing to argue aboutI thought he was okay in Bernie
>>215667841But enough about 4chan
>>215670568Absolutely fucking spot on.
>>215670559>that's the stuff I'm talking aboutIt's not delusion at all lmao, I 100% guarantee that even today if you posted about picrel and the other pieces of shit Cage made in the early/mid 2010s on Reddit or Xitter your thread would die while here it would get plenty of responses.>>215670473>Guarantee you bitch endlessly why no original movies just capeshit, remakes and big IPEverybody with a brain does you nigger>Stars sold original movies. Original movies didn't just do well because of stars, they did well because they were fresh and new, showcased either rising directors or old guys doing something different, while also having stars. Even the "original" stuff coming out now is not fresh nor new while suits keep desperately trying to either supress new talents/stars from breaking out or instead push non-entities that are already established like Pascal as leading men.>Heat was made today it’d bomb theaters and be forgottenYeah and if I released the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari today nobody would give a shit, what's your point
>>215668542Real-life racists played racist roles. Would that even be allowed today?

>>215670914>There aren't that many people on this board and there never have beenCertainly, which is part of my point about shitty 2010s Nicholas Cage movies. Nobody saw them, and the handful that did were largely /tv/ users.
Surprised no one has said Gal Gadot yet.
>>215670976Season of the Witch, 2011, starring Nicholas Cage. Budget $40 million, box office $91.6 million. You're telling me that the bulk of that $91 million dollars came from people from this board?You know, sometimes it's ok to admit that you made a retarded exaggeration rather than endlessly doubling down on it.
>>215670482Kino
>>215669639You're not a "prime action star" if you only star in B-movies.
>>215667691Brad Pitt is one of the best movie actors of all time and the biggest tragedy is that he is too handsome to be recognized as such.His filmography is extremely diverse, his portrayal of a schizophrenic in 12 Monkeys are one of the greatest in movie history and aside from a nomination at the oscars, it barely gets recognized as such.Cliff Booth is funny enough the most standard role he has ever played and for this role, something that doesn't really use his acting qualities much, he won an Oscar.
>>215670568yeah this is most evident in his phoning it in roles like that synthetic fuel movie - The Formula where it came out someone had to feed him all his lines in his ear because he was too focused on the food. He did give off an air of effortless sincerity most of the time he put in an ounce of effort, it's not like the directors can get a refund on a phone-in though.
>>215667691You posted him.
>>215667780You’re a retard
>>215667691He's a character actor with a leading man's look. Absolute shit in a lead role, but in a character role like Burn After Reading, Basterds, 12 Monkeys, he's great.
>>215671426I still think one of his best performances is Mickey in Snatch. So good it's amazing to me it didn't get an oscar nod. You didn't even see Pitt. Just some crazy fucking Irishman you couldn't understand right away.

Arnold. Harrison Ford.
>>215672683Absolutely agreed. Phenomenal performance. The Oscar for that year went to Russell Crowe for his scene chewing performance in Gladiator. Great movie. Not an Oscar worthy performance. Brad wasn't even nominated.
