Coincidentally, the Warden is pretty terrible in Daredevil but I don't know enough about his career to chime in otherwise.

Aaron Paul, Jesse Pinkman. Anything else he's been in, I've thought he was pretty bland/terrible.

Nicholas Cage is the ultimate hit or miss actor(and he misses alot). But I was reminded today that he was excellent in Lord of War.

Im not even a Jim Carrey fan and think he's had way more than one good performance. Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind come to mind. Also, Dumb and Dumber is one of the all time great comedies.
Was going to post the exact same thing. Eternal Sunshine is probably in my top 3 movies of all time, and he disappears into that role.

Cage always gets a pass from me due to Raising Arizona.

Unless that's a line from Entourage, it was meant to be a pretty meta joke.

Heath Ledger as The Joker. I thought he was mostly a mediocre actor who mostly did Romcoms, and had an okay role in The Patriot. He knocked it out of the park in The Dark Knight though.


The way he spit on his hand to not quit Jake was a pretty epic performances

If so, Adam Sandler.

He was amazing in Punch Drunk Love and Uncut Gems.


I think most of his comedies are amusing, but it is not great acting.
It is great one liners and timing

I saw neither of those but I would say Spanglish.

I watched the movie when it came out, but had never seen the series.

Finally watched the series recently when we got HBO Max and Drama is one of the best written characters I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

It's so conflicting because he's acting like a bad actor so you can't tell if he sucks or is just genuinely amazing at portraying a bad actor.

I almost posted Stallone in Cop Land, but then thought about the first Rocky. Maybe he really is a good actor who simply got typecast?

Don't remember what it's called but I really liked him in that movie where his family died on 9/11.

I started to post Rocky as well, but ended up deciding that he had too many good roles.

I think he's talented, he just enjoys hamming it up as a meathead action headliner.

Jean-Claude Van Damme in ...... nope...

I love Bloodsport (nostalgia) and will watch some of his other movies but, can't say he's ever been great in a movie as an actor.

Creed might be his best performance. And Jamie Foxx is also great in Baby Driver.

This is hard! Usually if they've done it once, they've done it twice.
