I'd pull Ben Affleck and Emily Blunt out of the "can't act" category.

Hayden C. is probably the most famous example.

TV is smaller stakes, but I think Jenna Fisher from The Office started out OK but was terrible by the end.

Lopez was amazing in Out of Sight.

Julia Roberts is another one who appears to be herself onscreen. A lot of overexposed A list actresses are the same. Think: Jen Aniston.


Yes about Julia Roberts, she doesn't have much range.

+1. Especially agree about Julia and Jen.

I actually think that was 90% the fault of George Lucas. Because Natalie Portman is a good actress IMO but her Padme was horrible. Even a good chunk of Ewan McGregor’s scenes were weird. I think they all gave what George asked for.

My list:
- Emma Watson
- Orlando Bloom (this guy in particular has the Squint Stare and nothing else)
- Chris Hemsworth
- Emily Blunt
- Amber Heard

There are probably a few more but I can't think of anything right now. Bad actors, you tend to forget their names.


Wow, I wildly disagree with Emily Blunt on that list. I think she's outstanding and hilarious. To the bad acting list, I would add Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Keanu Reeves (but I love him), Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, Lindsay Lohan, Katie Holmes, Ryan Phillipe, etc.

Not Kevin Spacey. He’s such a ham. You can ALWAYS tell he’s acting!

Sure, the entire cast of the Sharknado franchise could be listed here but I thought we were sticking to A-list, maybe B-list, actors and actresses, some of whom have been nominated or awarded for acting.

Kristen Stewart is the worst of the worst. How is she still being hired?

I know I'm in the distinct minority, but I don't think Meryl Streep is a good actor. I don't like her fake accents. Her acting is wooden.
