Reacher is built like a brick sh!t house in the books.

Tom Cruise is not.

I'd say Cruise would still take you easily out with a flick of his fingers though

No, for such good writing and such a good character, Murphy performance is as usual wooden, one dimensional, and dead.
It would much better with a better actor. There are hundreds of actors that could play that part better.

I couldn't disagree more.

John Travolta in The Punisher

In that case I feel sorry for your lack of taste and appreciation of the noble art of acting.

Euron Greyjoy and Shae in GoT. Awful.

Shae is a great shout, she was terrible

Vince Vaughan in True Detective S2. I wanted to believe he was going to shock us all, but he just didn't.

Aiden Gillen in everything.

Outrageous statement to be honest. Apart from GOT where he went for it a little too much I would say he is a pretty decent actor and can be very good on occasion.

I can't remember the name of the actors or characters off hand but the TV show revolution where the power stops world wide etc but they completely miscast the whole show. Only one who came out of it alright was the guy who played gus in breaking bad.

I am 100% behind the contribution of Aiden Gillen to this thread. ****ing brutal. Same one brooding look, same flat monotone voice regardless of role. A one trick pony that should have been put down after the first trick.

Give it over, he is a fine actor he stole the show in love/hate

Ha ha. Nearly fell for that.

Robert Sheehan as Darren in love/hate.

Couldn't really take him seriously as the that type of character.

I dont know why we bother with these threads.

Cillian Murphy is a very good actor.

Because people think their opinions are facts.

Jonathan Rhys Myers as Steerpike in Gormenghast.

Ian Glen in all those Jack Taylor things. A terrible series. Terrible acting. Acting like he was in L.A.

Tokyo

Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor in the most recent 'Terminator' movie. Can't hold a candle to Linda Hamilton.

If we're not restricted to acting roles... George Lucas in most everything post original Star Wars trilogy.

is_that_so

Jeremy Sisto in everything
Pilou Asbæk (Euron) in GOT
Anne Heche in pretty much everything
Dominic Keating in Heroes (that accent!:eek:)

Well, i personally disagree but that's my opinion. I wonder what would be said here if he weren't Irish

Not if you know anything about acting . . . he's really not

Ursus Horribilis

His nationality doesn't come into it. I like to see Irish actors doing well for themselves. Having seen him in several things, I've decided that Aidan Gillen is a very limited actor.

ziedth

Not allot of Love for Euron Greyjoy. Is it because he was so different in the books?

If you didn't laugh at the "finger in the bum" exchange I don't think we could ever be friends.

I also think Cillian Murphy is a perfectly capable actor. 28 Days Later, Peaky Blinders, Batman all good films

BrenMar

The very wooden Lily in Modern Family. Her monotone delivery was cute when she was younger but it's become obvious that she can't act and is kept off the screen as much as possible.

That's actually a good shout. Especially when literally the rest of the cast have pretty much flawless delivery

What's the film where the actor paid back people who went to see it allegedly

I've read previously that it was either Kevin Spacey for K-PAX or George Clooney for Batman and Robin....although it may have been Tom Hanks for Larry Crowne either...

The chap that plays Luke is just as bad. I cringe whenever he opens his mouth, just monotone delivery.

Scrub you mouth out with soap and water

DJIMI TRARORE

Most of the casting in soap operas is pretty ridiculous,of the top of my head Lucy Fallon? in corrie,22/23 in real life playing a 15/16 year old but never looked the part. The new Ben in EE is badly cast(imo),Gabby in Emmerdale,born and bred in yorkshire but sounds very posh,Kerry and her daughter,only 8-10 years between them in real life

mistersifter

Jaden Smith as The Karate Kid.

Elaborate, explain with examples why he is such a poor actor? Pick a scene of his that proves he is a poor actor
