Is there an actor or actress that you are surprised continues to get work?

Asked by SuperMouse (30853points) November 13th, 2008

I am always surprised when I see Keanu Reeves cast in anything. I mean, unless he is playing himself (i.e. Bill & Ted or Parenthood), you can almost see his eyes moving across the cue cards.

Awwwh, come on. Leave poor Keanu alone, Supermouse. That’s like beating a dead horse LOL

It’s true he may not have the range other actors do to play more serious roles like, say Hamlet, but for the genres he’s been suitably cast, I haven’t felt his acting was that bad. I liked him in The Matrix and Constantine. He’s no character actor, though.

I’m not a big fan of Will Ferrell’s acting. Maybe it’s just that he seems to have the same facial expression no matter what role he’s playing – Greek icon, swat member, etc.

There’s Something about Mary redeems Stiller in my book. Dane Cook, Kevin Costner, and Collin Ferrel take it for me.

Maybe it’s just me but I thought Robert Downey Jr. did pretty well in the movie Iron Man.

Cameron Diaz
Jessica Alba

Movies do require acting abilities, don’t they?

Ha, I had Keanu Reeves in mind when I came to answer the Q…Sylvester Stallone is another.

I think Will Smith did a great job in The Pursuit of Happyness, and I love Robert Downey, Jr!
