Agree on Affleck but think you're being hard on Bruce Willis.While being guilty some times of overacting eg-The Die Hard trilogy- he can hardlly be accused of being wooden.Quote:

Even though I went for Roger Moore earlier, I'll throw another one in.
And, to be honest, I can't understand why ye're wasting time squabbling about Reeves and Affleck when no-one has mentioned John Wayne yet! :eek:
They're only in the ha'penny place.
Cheers Ash, it's all coming back to me now. Aaaagghhhh!!!Quote:

Brilliant.:D I also love the scene in Star Trek III when he hears his son being murdered. He stumbles back and misses the captain's chair in what seems like a total improvisation. It's hilarious.Quote:

oh affleck without a doubt

The cast of Fair City.
oh no.. ros na run if were goin the soaps route
keaunu, Ben Affleck, and Matt damon are pretty dire
but i find Tom Hanks a bit hard to stomach myself, yeah great acting the idiot, re Big, etc, but he doesnt seem to have much of a personality for anything else
...waiting to be shot down:p
I agree with you to some extent, but I think he did well in Philadelphia, and Catch Me If You Can.Quote:

I wouldn't class these actors as wooden, simply because they have given good performances in the following movies
Tom Hanks - Catch Me If You Can, Castaway, Big, Road to Perdition, Philadelphia
Ben Affleck - The Kevin Smith movies he's been in
Keanu Reeves - Bill and Ted movies, A Scanner Darkly
Matt Damon - Bourne Identity, The Departed, Team America :D
Nicolas Cage - Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation
Now although I think Reeves and Cage, in particular, are dire actors, well in the case of Cage it's more that he can act, he just doesn't seem to want to, I have to plump for the Unholy Trio of Seagal, Van Damme and Arnie to come joint second on my list, with my winner being.....

Segal, Norris, Clive Owen all deserve to be listed.

I'll second Keanu Reeves. He could corner the market in android acting.
Segal probably owned the trophy before Reeves - same expression in every role but then again played same character in every role.
IMO wooden means no expression not necessarily bad acting.
