Showing Original Post only (View all)In your opinion, the most overrated actor//actress of all time? [View all]
Actors are seen as the face of the movies, television, and other media products in which they star.
Extra attention is paid to them, as if they are infallible people.
Hollywood actors and actresses have become like gods to many people around the globe, and they are worshiped with praise, money, awards, and gifts.
However, many of the actors receiving the most accolades are extremely overrated in their raw talent, charisma, and chemistry with other actors.
While many actors bring in the big box office bucks, they have little or no acting range and often phone in their performances.
Who do you consider to be the most overrated actor of all time?
