Question:
What is Chloe Sevigny doing on screen besides making faces?

Answer:
Tom Cruise has bugged me long before he started jumping on couches. It seems to me spews out his lines then freezes for a still shot. It's a motion picture Tom, m o t i o n...

Answer:
Nah Toby Maguire is Spiderman. Elijah Woods was Frodo in LOTR. They have a similar look though.
And I'll give you Chloe Sevigny.
Winona Ryder has had her good moments but is truly awful in a lot of other movies. She was dreadful in Alien Resurrection. Then again, whoever came up with the idea of an emo android needed a good kicking as well.
Rosamund Pike's another one. Bad in Bond, worse in Doom. And why is her hairline so low?
Action heroes are generally bad but then they are action heroes so I don't much care about that. Still, I never did get why they gave Jason Statham an American accent in Transporter because he just can't do it. He must sound to Americans like Dick Van Dyke sounds to us Brits.

Answer:
Jennifer Anniston!
No matter what she's in, she's "Rachel" .

Less time at the salon - more time with the acting coach, Jenny!!

Answer:
Agree an the Tom Cruise and the Jennifer Aniston, they just can't shake their own personalities when in character. (only exception might be Tom in Interview with the vampire)
and i'll add: Brad Pitt, the man just can't act!

Answer:
I have always wondered about the appeal of Robert Redford. He ruined the remake of Great Gatsby and who'd ever think he was supposed to be an Englishman in Out of Africa? I had hoped that age would improve him, but as the Horse Whisperer, he still couldn't carry it off.
And the yellow hair? Please, isn't he about 70? Cary Grant and Spencer Tracy never had to go the lady Clairol route.
Another who irks me is Meg Ryan

Answer:
Adam Sandler and every comedian who left SNL, made 3 movies that folks slept through, and just because a few of the original lineup were funny no matter how bad the script was.
--------------------------------------
Michael Berryman in those 'Hills have Eyes' movies. The guy has 50% of the job done just showing up and he gets 10 to 15 years off between movies. You'd think he'd just try a little harder.

Answer:
Jeez!
Compared to the recently deceased ( died after 2000) Katherine Hepburn, Maria Schell, and Alec Guinness, and--aw hell let's go back to the 90's and also name my fave lunatic: Klaus Kinski. --- Naw, make it tougher. Go to the 80's and also mention Peter Sellers and Lawrence Olivier. Whereupon an easier question becomes:
What living American actors AREN'T overrated?
Off hand I can think of Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron, ( S. African, does that count?) Dustin Hofman, Kevin Spacey, Billy Bob Thorton, Gwyneth Paltrow, Meryl Streep and Robert Duvall.
There are more, of course!
But it takes a while and much harder effort to think of them than to think of the likes of Steven Seagal, Arnie, Stalllone, Eastwood, Redford, Cruise, Travolta and co. (I'm too much of a gentleman to name the ladies)
Hooray for Hollywood,
Where you're terrific if you're only good . . .
Cheers,
Mario.

Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, and most people love Jack Nicholson, although my take on him is he's pretty one-dimensional, playing the evil/lovable rogue, chewing up the scenery.

Answer:
Don't get me started on Paltrow. She is so dreary and insipid.
