Most "Wooden Actor" of all time

Today is movie day I think.

The winner's got to be Chuck Norris.
No facial movement whatsoever,happy, sad, angry all look the same on Chuck:D

Roger Moore. He even said it himself, his acting technique was left eyebrow, right eyebrow.

Bryan Robson playing a cameo of himself in that kids show he did about 25 years ago was the single worst acting job I've ever seen! :D

Yeah, but no-one could do eyebrows like him. 'Member the Spitting Image puppet? Absolutely class.

Steven Seagal is the most wooden actor, without question. Also the worst. Chuck Norris is Ian Richardson in comparison. I hate Seagal.

Shatner used to be a rubbish actor, but he's really not bad now. He's brilliant in Boston Legal. I have a lot of respect for Shatner's ability to take the p*ss out of himself.

Haven't seen that. I'm thinking mainly original Star trek and TJ Hooker.
Another candidate has to be Lee Majors.

Charles Bronson

Charles Bronson is the Man!!!!

Classic Simpsons moment from Bronsons guest appearance on "The Amos & Andy Show"

Amos: Hey Charlie! Where's Andy?
Bronson: I shot him ...and now I'm heading 'round to Emmets Fix-It Store (finishes cleaning pistol and cocks it) ...to fix Emmet.

:D

I absolutely love the trailer for Death Wish #37 or some such high number, with a decrepit and knackered Bronson in a hospital bed croaking "I wish I was dead". :D

Keanu Reeves is a good shout, but Morgan Freeman does play the same role and same facial expressions in every film I see him in.

That would (or wood :p ) be Jossys Giants :)

Most wooden actor of all ... Woody from Toy Story ;)

Don't know about Chuck Norris or Seagal - no doubt they are dire actors but what most people want to see from them is extreme violence, and they rarely disappoint.

In terms of mainstream actors who are criticized on their skills at acting (rather than killing a large number of people in imaginative ways), I'd go for Ben Affleck. or Bruce Willis.

It's fantastic. I just bought the box set. Good old-fashioned surreal plots and snappy dialogue

Agreed on all counts.

Reeves is terribly under rated, just look at Bill & Ted.

The winner has to be Affleck.

Underrated at being awful?

I've seen Reeves act half decently in The Matrix-his natural monotony helped the role.

I've never seen Affleck anything other than awful.
