What actress or actor do you think cant act but rely on looks alone i for one think Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie both awful actors in my eyes. Also Colin Farrel what a no hoper and Christina Richie looks serve them well because their acting is awful. Who do you think?

Sienna Miller. Lovely looking lady but couldn't act to save her life; a case of knowing (or bedding) the right people.

DB7

I think he's ace; especially in Tim Burton's Big Fish.

And for one of my favourite moments from Trainspotting; "it's shite being Scottish."

First place to Hugh Grant, Tom Cruise a very close runner-up.

Richard Gear, from only having three real looks

"Seya next time!"

David Brent

Pamela Anderson has no acting talent at all. The fact is most people cannot remember her face - only her swimsuits in Baywatch.

Same with Sharon Stone. Take away the Basic Instinct hype that surrounded her and her performances are lifeless and deadpan.

Dave.

Anything to oblige .... but only to take your mind off the wooden, charmless, charisma free (and now ugly) MacGregor!

Keanu Reeves.

Crap!

I seem to remember two terrible English accents.

Although not bad in "My Own Private Idaho".

On the other hand, who wants to spend two hours watching close-ups of ugly people?

Who is really to blame for rubbish actors in films though? Surely it's the director, more than the actor. S/He chooses which scenes/takes to include. If an actor simply cannot cut the mustard, why is the director directing them? S/He should leave. Who's the whore here?

I'd rather watch the likes of Charles Laughton or Margaret Rutherford (no offence intended) acting than many of the talentless pretty boys/girls who have surfaced over the years. It's not a new phenomenon by any means .... think Tab Hunter, Troy Donahue et al in the 50s. Good looks and talent do go together sometimes, we have George Clooney and Jodie Foster as examples these days plus the likes of Paul Newman, Dirk Bogarde and Vivien Leigh previously. IMHO the fault lies with producers, agents and casting directors. It is very difficult, especially in the US, to get an agent these days unless you have that specific 'look' that is 'in' at that time. I believe this situation has come across the ocean from the US (where looks are more important than talent) and is now affecting programmes/films in the UK. For example shows like Hollyoaks, Footballers Wives and most of ITVs drama 'one-off' output are peopled by 'good looking' young things who couldn't act their way out of a bag of cheese and onion! I watched Lewis last night, not classic TV by any stretch but the leading roles were played by experienced actors with years in 'the biz'. Only Lawrence Fox was a youngster among that lot, he is a fine actor and has 'unconventional' looks. Mrs Bat (and Bilie Piper) think he is very sexy so it shows that the apparent obsession with 'pretty' people is something agents, casting directors and producers inflict upon us at their own whim.

At the age of 13, my daughter described one actor (I think it was Richard Armitage in bbc tv's 'North and South') as (she assumed a pronounced northern accent):
"Ah'm oogly, boot ah'm SEXY!"

"I've come a long way you know!" "Equally long way to go back..."

Oh no .. I feel a new thread coming on!
