Question:
O.K. here is your chance to vent. Who do you think is completely overrated?
I ask because I have just sat through Out of Africa — and Robert Redford walks through the whole thing as though his simply showing up meant that he must be acting. I can't remember the last time an actor seemed so woefully bad, and so smug in his badness! But I think this problem afflicted every Robert Redford performance after and including Butch Cassidy.
In short: Robert Redford, you were/are appalling!

Answer:
I'm not even certain where to begin. In a way, though, I feel bad about even doing this because people have got so insane about self-expression, that they never get around to developing as people, so there often isn't much TO express. Most younger or attractive actors seem to rely on "being themselves", which doesn't get you very far. So, you get Winona Ryder giving a credible performance of an annoying person in "Reality Bites", and making me want to leave the theatre screaming in the so-called "Bram Stoker's Dracula". And please don't get me started on Ethan Hawke or Keanu Reeves.
