Re: Most Overrated Actor/Actress?
Is this really the only "overrated actor" thread we've ever had? I didn't expect it to be a thread bump from 14 years ago considering it's only 2 pages long.

^No doubt there are other, more substantial ones, but it seems one cannot find much with DVDTalk's unhelpful search engine. A few weeks ago I tried to find a Music Talk thread of recent vintage (can't remember now what it was; something about lyrics maybe), to add a response, but I was unable to reel it in.

Meryl Streep
Dustin Hoffman
Sir Laurence Oliviier
Good actors who are bandied around as near perfect when people want to name great actors just for the sake of naming them

I personally don't think Tom Cruise counts because no has ever said, "Tom Cruise - what an amazing actor!" What he does have is charisma and a good screen presence. He's capitalized quite well on playing a larger-than-life version of himself in most of his movies.
Overrated? Jennifer Lawrence.

Casey Affleck - His only ability to act is to play himself with slight alterations. IMO, Manchester was a steaming pile of garbage.
Gone Baby, Gone was the bomb, though.

I liked him in The Assassination of Jesse James, but haven't seen him in any other role that didn't make me want to punch him. Terrible actor.

Liam Hemsworth
Maybe he is not considered a actor but he gets a lot of work these days.

But the few I found were both hell of old.But I just did a fast search.
My list is short, some might be on my radar because they make a bunch of crappy movies, after one or two decent performances.
