Most "Wooden Actor" of all time

Ralph Fiennes must be in the mix, did anyone sit through a film called "Sunshine" set in Austria where he played a Grandfather the Father and the Son? The only thing that changed in the three roles was the facial hair.

In fairness to Ralph, recently I thought he was very good in the Constant Gardner, and as Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

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

yeah but im talking about actually acting, as oppossed to just blanky staring at this and that, looking dumb and talking with little meaning

but you are right about Team America

Ah come on now, Reeve's performance in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is one of the more understated comedy performances of all time
