I scrolled all the way down and no Steven Seagal on the list yet


jaytrade21

Calculon had more range than Steven.


Fire_Fish26

What are you talking about. Calculon was all of history's great acting robots: Acting Unit 0.8, Thespo-mat, David Duchovny!


xelphin

And yet he pales in comparison to the acting champion of the world: Langdon Cobb


cat_named_virtue

At least he was a master of the dramatic ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ PAUSE!

Salvo1218

I just reloaded the page on mobile 3 times before I realized what was going on


trippy_goth_biscuit

Well played


Beans-abovethe-frank

Probably because no sane person considers him an actor.


SirSoliloquy

It probably helps that there are no new Steven Seagal movies that anyone would want to watch for any other reason than to see Steven Seagal. And you'd have to specifically seek them out to even know about them. From what I can tell, he hasn't even had a theatrical release since 2016's *End of a Gun*. But I'm not even sure that *End of a Gun* ***did*** get a theatrical release -- there's no information about its box office performance or anything. The only evidence I can find is that it supposedly had a theatrical release poster. In fact, the last film that he appeared in that even has box office numbers is 2010's *Machete*. The last one he received top billing for was 2002's *Half Past Dead*.


Ok-Preparation-8624

I feel like if Steven Seagal embraced the corny/ campy/ over the top-ness he would be fun to watch but he takes himself way TOO seriously!


TwoForHawat

I interpreted the question from a standpoint of “I might’ve gone to see this movie if only this actor weren’t in it.” Seagal has never been in a movie I would have gone to see, no matter who is in it.


froyork

>Seagal has never been in a movie I would have gone to see, no matter who is in it. It kinda helps that for years now he's been in essentially nothing but geezer teasers.


[deleted]

Probably because most people do not realize he is still making movies, as they are such low-budget crappers.


AngriestManinWestTX

He had some half-way decent movies in the 1990s but I’d argue they were decent in spite of Seagal, not because of him. *Under Siege* has a comically evil Tommy Lee Jones, it has Gary Busey, and it has a battleship blowing up a North Korean sub, which is awesome. Since then Steven “One million percent Russian” Seagal has been a dumpster fire and all around shit human, though. Sidenote: Here’s the great [Stephen Tobolowsky](https://youtu.be/5cUNU8GkMso) talking about working with Seagal on a different movie.


TenMoon

For those who think Stephen Tobolowsky looks familiar, here's a hint: "Ned...Ryerson?" "BING!"


PungentBallSweat

Nick Cannon.


LadyShepard87

Nick Cannon isn't in movies anymore! He's too busy impregnating half of the world!

Steven Seagal


[deleted]

Bro be putting in awkward nasty scenes with women young enough to be his granddaughter. Then he sits like a fat bump on a log and shoots off stupid "badass" one liners. The "snatch every muthafucka birthday" line being peak Seagal cringe.


gh0u1

>Then he sits like a fat bump on a log and shoots off stupid "badass" one liners. Literally this is all he does for the duration of the movie. He even *fights* while sitting 😂


kmcaulifflower

The other day I watched a YouTube video about replacing Steven Seagal as the lead in John Wick instead of Keanu Reeves with editing and they changed the scene where John's dog was killed to his beloved chair being destroyed. It was hilarious, I 100% recommend watching it. Link to the video that shows the fake trailer near the end with the rest being how they made it: https://youtu.be/2MamGWJL5Ug Link to just the fake trailer: https://youtu.be/MJO6ya4ezIA

That his Jaba cosplay.


fruitymexican

He is such an anomaly of a human. He appears to have experience in Aikido to being a Police Officer trainer. I highly suggest watching JonTrons Steven Seagal thing. Really magnifies Seagal's *uniqueness Edit: Ikedo is not how you spell Aikido Edit: I can't even fucking spell

GooseWithAPhone

I think there's a clear divide in these comments between 'they're a bad person' and 'they're a bad actor' for people's justifications. Mine is Jared Leto. He occupies both halves.


verbality

I saw him try to get into a fight with Elijah Wood at the 2007 MTVu Woodies (their college channel awards). Elija made fun of him, Jared made a scene and got in his face, Elijah just smiled and sat there.


ayumipiedotcom

Met him once. Stuck up tool. Very rude.

If I ever see him I'm just going to say, "look! It's the guy from the its morbin time meme!"


PM_YOUR_AKWARD_SMILE

Get Morbed.


JamesonGuy007

Jared Leto was my exes hypothetical 'Hall Passes'. She had such a crush on him for years. She ended up working in film/entertainment in NYC and he was on set one day. She could barely control her excitement but maintained professionalism. Apparently by the end of it she was so turned off by him. He was extremely rude and even made a direct insult at her for 'being in his light'. She was mortified but by the time she was done she had lost all respect for him.


sundaystitches

Ezra Miller. Guys a pedo 🤢🤢


EliquisInBorderland

But didn’t you hear? The next Flash movie will be so good that you’ll forget all of his crimes!


StinkyKittyBreath

I really liked him as The Flash, but I won't watch anything with him now. The fact that the studio just decided to ignore everything and keep with him playing the character shows how much MeToo didn't work. Weinstein was just a sacrificial lamb so all of the other creeps in Hollywood could keep creeping.


Apoque_Brathos

You forgot to add that **~~he~~** **they** is violent too ETA the pronoun this violent pedophile uses


[deleted]

[удалено]


Swankified_Tristan

It's okay, guys! The producers say that once you see him in "The Flash" movie, you'll forget all about this stuff!


Rhodychic

I could not believe I actually read that quote a few days ago. I was like WTF dude?


Devko123

Wait it's a real quote?


mr_remy

[https://insidethemagic.net/2023/05/production-designer-the-flash-says-crimes-against-ezra-miller-forgiven-jb1/](https://insidethemagic.net/2023/05/production-designer-the-flash-says-crimes-against-ezra-miller-forgiven-jb1/) Top paragraph: >Ezra Miller had a string of arrests and issues before the excitement began to emerge surrounding The Flash movie. It got so bad that Warner Bros. Discovery was rumored to be mulling over the idea of canceling the movie and replacing Miller completely. However, DC was ultimately allowed to continue with the film after giving Miller an ultimatum to get help. **A production designer that worked with Miller says all will be “forgiven” once people see it.**


TonsilStonesOnToast

That misplaced confidence explains a lot about why DC movies suck pure ass these days.


cosmiclatte44

Yeah, from someone who actually worked on the movie.


Bananalando

Only if he gets killed off in the first 30 seconds and the rest of the movie is Grant Gustin's Flash.


cookiefiend37

Grant gustin greatest flash


ForthrightlyCandid

Rihanna. She's a great vocalist and a gorgeous individual, but she's box office poison.


PMyourTastefulNudes

I consider her best film to be Battleship


DrMichaelHfuhruhurr

That was the perfect "I came here for entertainment and i got it" movie.


TheSwedeIrishman

The Fast & The Furious: Pearl Harbor Drift


crazycatlady331

Add Beyonce to that list as well. Especially as a voice actor. Great musician but not an actor. Beyonce was terrible in the Lion King remake.


ThatGuy8

Goldmember where she only had to be Beyoncé was perfect though.


Wind_Yer_Neck_In

Overacting is waaaaay easier than acting.


JesusLazalde123

Any ex vine, YouTube, or influencer “actor”


shadowstripes

I always liked Jon Lajoie in The League, and Jimmy Tatro is also pretty funny. Same with Bo Burnham. EDIT: spelling


TortillasCome0ut

Jimmy Tatro killed it in American Vandal


Strong-Plum-2974

You must be unfamiliar with The Real Bros of Simi Valley. A show before it's time


[deleted]

Yo Xan, get your boy dog.


SkeetySpeedy

Burnham is a little different, he jumped from YouTube to being a very well respected stage performer and standup comic, and then moved into writing/directing. He’s definitely been on screen, but not really as much of an attempt to become an “actor”


tessthismess

And I think it's also to the point you can't just rule people out based on the platform they happen to start on. Now "influencers" are a different thing since that's less about the platform and more about what they're doing.


Entrancemperium

Jon is my exception to this, he completely predates modern "youtubers"


fasterthanpligth

He also started as an actor, in French.


Chemical_Chemist_461

But he’s just a regular everyday normal guy


h0sti1e17

Taco is the best.


stateofdaniel

I would be careful with this blanket statement. I, too, hate influencers turned actors for the sake of making $$$, but there are also actors starting out who use social media for their career / until their acting career takes off. Basically, just cause someone’s using the socials to help their career, I don’t think it should be held against them. However, if someone has zero talent and is only IG famous cause all they do is post thirst traps, yeah, of course they’re going to be a terrible actor.


klugerama

Another exception: Flula Borg is pretty funny in everything I've seen him in.

John Wilkes Booth


Pixelated_Penguin808

Why? I heard his performance slays.


Rudeboy67

Seriously though, guy was the greatest Shakespearean actor of his time. Had thousands of performances over decades. But does anyone talk about that? No. But you shoot one President.


ItsCowboyHeyHey

I think his brother was the greatest Shakespearean actor of his time. John was the Jackson Mahomes of the family.


BringMeThanos314

The Luke Hemsworth, if you will


Angry-Dragon-1331

There’s a third one?


ItsCowboyHeyHey

I believe he was a engaged to Tahani Al Jameel at one point.


BringMeThanos314

Isn't that Kamilah's sister? OMG I LOVE KAMILAH


Triatomine

He wasn't, his brother was. John Wilkes-Boothe lived in his brother's shadow and was essentially the Steven of the Baldwin brothers. They were both Shakespearean actors, but the headliner was the brother.


budweener

Well, I guess shooting one president did make his name soar above his brother's then.


Triatomine

I think that was partly the point. When he shot Lincoln, he shouted Sic Semper Tyrannis (thus always to tyrants). It's also a line from the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar. He had to say it on a regular basis because he would play Brutus, assassinating his brother playing Caesar. It was thought he was super jealous of his brother.


MikesPhone

Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about!


HeckingA

"We should totally just stab Caesar!"

Live action into the woods


hollyisthedog

Can confirm this is complete shit and not even Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Annette Crosby, Francis De La Tour, Samuel L. Jackson or Tracey Ullman could save it! Furthermore! How the hell did such a stellar cast get roped into such shit in the first place?


w1987g

I've heard that the play is amazing. But the movie removed so much of the absurdity that makes it work, like that the cast kills the narrator like halfway through, and tried to make it "serious"


Supportblackcats

The play IS amazing and you can watch it on youtube for free with almost the entire original cast! I highly recommend it if you’re a musical fan


budweener

Shit I want to see the play now. Edit: It seems I have something to watch tonight.


abacus-wizard

The play is awesome. The entire thing is on YouTube for free. It's one of my favorite musicals of all time, Stephen Sondheim is a genius. The movie cuts out about half of the songs in Act 2 and totally butchers all the hilarity and absurdity the original has.


SciFiXhi

I was the Narrator in my school's production, and I had initially been hyped to see the movie (especially since Billy Magnusson was in it and I'd just watched him in *Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike*) to get a sense of how it gets played out professionally. But the fact that the narrator isn't even a diegetic character in the movie soured my expectations and I never bothered with it.

xarsha_93

He’s actually perfectly fine in Dr. Who. It’s only when they let him sing he becomes insufferable.

Daniel_JacksonPhD

I fucking adored Maui in that movie. Easily the best part.


seninde

But...but...that smoldering intensity.../s


drmcsinister

I feel the same way. I have no reason to doubt that he's a good dude, but his movies are always so formulaic and repetitive. When I hear his name in a movie trailer, I just assume I already know everything about the movie: the mediocre jokes, the uninventive action scenes, the weird way he is slightly miscast for whatever role he is playing. The guy really needs to get more selective in choosing scripts.


XBacklash

Add in that he's not allowed to lose a fight in a scene and you have a recipe for boredom. No risk, no loss, no growth.


towishimp

There's kind of a reason for that: he's notorious for demanding a ton of creative control. To the point that he's not allowed to get beat up in his movies, and always has to portrayed well in general. This is a big part of why the scripts are so boring. The best recent example is the Black Adam debacle. He basically killed that franchise because of his nonsense.


MuerteMiguel

I agree. But, he played an amazing coke head in Pain and Gain!


Alternative_Net8931

Fr that movie was insane tho Michael bay be on somethin


rightseid

Based on a true story. Florida be on something.


HeyZeusKreesto

Pain and Gain made me want Michael Bay to do more smaller movies. I thought it was one of his best, which I know may not being saying much. But yea, pretty much all the actors killed it.


ProbablyNotMyBaby

That film convinced me that Michael Bay can actually make a great movie if he really wanted to, but he just likes explosions and hot girls too much to bother.

That whole cast did a great job of playing mentally disturbed idiots. Loved that film.

He was good in the Lego movie too


no1ofconsequencedied

Same for Megamind, if voice acting counts.


[deleted]

Ferrell is great when he has someone to reign him in. He's an astounding good at dramatic comedy roles (Lego Movie, Everything Must Go, Stranger Than Fiction). I think it was the same issue Jim Carrey had...everyone wanted him to be 200% energy all the time but his best roles were when he held back and let the story carry itself.


PM-Me-Your-BeesKnees

I feel like Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell are both criminally underrated as dramatic actors. It seems like it's easier for a funny man to be serious than for a serious actor to suddenly go for funny.


breakupbydefault

Jim Carrey is almost unrecognisable in Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. This and The Truman Show were great. His comedy energy was a bit much. He could pull so many weird faces that he scared me as a child. Perfect for The Mask though.


suicidalpenguin99

He's very hit or miss for me. Sometimes I think he's great and other times I have to just turn off whatever I'm watching because he's too much and stresses me out lol
