I think people are unclear what "overrated" means vs "I want to dump on someone who is more famous than I am". Steven Seagal is "overrated"?? On what planet has he ever been "rated"? When has he ever been thought to be a great actor? good actor? decent? At best he's considered "not the worst ever".
I definitely agree with John Wayne and Kevin Hart tho.
John Wayne, the Rock, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvestor Stallone, and many more are entertainers, not actors. You don't find them in movies directed by Martin Scorcese, Spike Lee, Kathryn Bigelow, etc. People have never rated them on any list as a great actor, people watch their movies to be entertained. Their movies are enjoyable to watch, kind of like popcorn or cotton candy. Look at how many great actors failed in action movies: Sean Penn, Ethan Hawke, Collin Farrell, George Clooney, Jennifer Garner, and others.
Of those listed, Kevin Hart. He isn't close to being funny. His entire "performance" is screaming. How he got to where he is today is beyond me. Stick Will Ferrell in there too just for good measure.
Chat, I'm so content that I am not the only one who finds LIL Kevin Hart annoying. He rose to fame making jokes about his wife and kids, and then the half pint divorced his wife of many years. I don't support him, think he is funny and wonder what the hell he did to rise so quickly. Dude ain't funny, although the yelling indicates he is hard of hearing. Have not and will not in the future watch his movies, stand ups or anything he appears in. Dude is annoying as hell.
Sadly, in the US, actors and actresses get hired for their looks more than for their acting ability.
In the UK, and I won’t single them out, there are some great actors and actresses who are famous, who got there because they actually know how to act, not because they are nice to look at.
The reality of it is, that not all these people are bad actors but a lot of them are cast into bad roles. There is also a difference between being a bad actor, a decent actor and a very talented actor. There's a lot of opinion involved. But I think this list is mostly from ignorance.
Sophie Turner. "The Stark children" in general couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. Sophie Turner is a beady eyed peacock posing as a card board box. She CAN NOT act.
I consider Aikido a martial art even if it's pretty useless in a real fight. I took Tae Kwon Do for years and later realized it alone is not enough in a real fight. Too flashy and slow.
I cut some of these actors some slack if they are only good at one thing. As long as they are good at it I don't feel they should be criticized for it.
"Shailene Woodley. I just will never understand how her performance in The Descendants was as critically acclaimed as it was. Big Little Lies – same thing."
