Re: actors that are wooden
The guy who used to play Nicky Tilsley in Coronation Street before Adam Rickets took over. Warren-something his name was, iirc. He occasionally moved his eyes and lips in scenes, which confirmed that some activity was going on, somewhere deep inside, but it was often very hard to spot.
The guy was pine. |

Re: actors that are wooden
i think natalie portman is a crap actress, she always looks like someone acting instead of just being the character. i think her voice/talking 'skills' are crap also
nicolas cage i also think is crap, i feel as if i can see that he is trying really hard to be a particular way, instead of just seeing him being that way. the rock from the mummy films is really good compared to these two, he just doesn't do the sort of roles that get you acclaim, like being an alcoholic or whatever. oh, i hate jack black too, total bawbag, wooden as a pirate's peg. i feel that i know, really KNOW, he is a really bad person. i don't like hearing scottish people in films/telly because it's too normal, i can't suspend my disbelief. it makes me think that all scots actors are wooden, but they probably aren't. sean connery is ok, but i'e never actually known anyone who talks like that. |

Re: actors that are wooden
The king of all wooden actors has to be David Caruso - Horatio from CSI: Miami, dude just stands around with his shades trying to look cool even tho there's like a chopped up body in front of him. :D

Re: actors that are wooden
Lets face it Hollywood is primarily concerned with good looks.
Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven was dire. Cage is pretty poor too. But the worst has to be the guy who used to be on the bill, the black copper who was gay...Lance was his character name. He then had a brief apearance on Spooks, and was just as bad. |

Ross Kemp.
 He plays the same character in every role he's ever had.

Re: actors that are wooden
After watching World Trade Center today, and having read this thread, I actually noticed that Nicholas Cage does have wooden qualities. In fact, he played largely the same character he has in every other Cage movie, despite being trapped under thousands of tons of rubble.
Thankfully, he didn't spoil the movie. |

Re: actors that are wooden
i thought nic did alright in world trade centre, considering who he is and what the film was about.
i supopse it helped that he was just some scruffy everyman, and didn't have flowing glossy mills and boon locks like in con air. holy crap! THAT was a stupid film. did you enjoy watching him scream in pain? |

On the whole it was a pretty good movie. I especially liked the part when the building collapsed. Quote:
If I remember rightly, the other fellow had just mentioned that Cage didn't speak much, so he replied with a load of screaming. |

But I think people are being a bit unfair to Nick - I mean he's certainly not a plank, you could argue he is not naturalistic but I kinda like his quirky style.
