Actors that have gotten worse with age..

[boonanas]

There are several reasons a once great actor could get 'worse' with age. Possible reasons being poor script choices, a poor director, phoning it in for the cash, becoming disheveled, or just becoming a terrible actor. I'd like to list two actors that I believe have gotten worse with age and my reason why...

Al Pacino - Righteous Kill, 88 Minutes, Ocean's 13, all terrible performances. It may be due to the scripts, but you'd think Al Pacino could make a bad script better, but not in these cases. Maybe his age has gotten the better of him.

Clint Eastwood - I really like him as a director, but as a performer, I believe his acting style is dated. I saw him in True Crime and it was dreadful. He tried using that tough guy voice the entire film and I found it unbelievable. His acting style just may not quell well with the modern films. Million Dollar Baby was a good movie but not because of his acting.

[KingGeno]

Chevy Chase and I hate to say it but Dan Akroyd.

[sailor]

haley joel and dakota fanning

[boonanas]

How's about some reasons? I didn't know Haley Joel had a career anymore.

[TooLowBrow]

estelle getty has really stunk it up recently

[Tall_James]

Steven Baldwin

[ChrisTheCop]

David Caruso.

Remember he was cool on NYPD Blue? Even Mad Dog and Glory...

But he's become a laughable caricature of himself.

[Fezticle98]

Jack Nicholson - caricature of himself

Christopher Walken - see above

Brando - got fat and lazy, crazy

[boonanas]

Jack Nicholson


I don't agree with you, About Schmidt and The Departed were fantastic MOSTLY because of his performances, in my opinion.

didn't see the former, but he may as well have worn clown make-up in the latter.

[Fezticle98]

He was TERRIBLE in the departed. Easily the worst thing about that movie, along with perhaps Marky Mark. No, wait, Nicholson was worse.

[razorboy]

The Departed was a steaming pile of dogshit, due in no small part to Nicholson's ridiculous performance.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Wesley Snipes , hasnt had a good role since 1996

[FezPaul]

John Wilkes Booth. His last perfomance just awful.

[ravn816]

For some reason, the first person I think of is Kevin Costner when I read this.

[burrben]

dennis hopper

[Fezticle98]

John Wilkes Booth. His last perfomance just awful.

Really? I thought that he blew them away. Well, at least one of them.

yeah...i thought he killed in his last performance

[WampusCrandle]

you know how to hurt people, especially me. Estelle Getty is saint, damn you!

Jack Nicholson - caricature of himself

Christopher Walken - see above

Brando - got fat and lazy, crazy

i have to agree, even though it hurts me to say so.

dennis hopper

he has completely sold out his generation with those dumb commercials that he is in.

i feel like saying Gene Hackman, but the thing is, his last movie was Welcome to Mooseport, and hasn't done anything since. but he did, before that a few good movies....i wish he would come back.

In fact, you might say that he shot President Lincoln in the head.

Oh wait...

Ed Norton Jr...

How about Arnold Schwarzeneger?

[realmenhatelife]

How has this thread gone this long with Robert "shitbomb" Deniro coming up?

Always terrible. Hercules in New York.

[Thebazile78]

Always terrible. Hercules in New York.

But it's terrible with a Germanic accent.

Like those Volkswagen commercials with Brooke Shields.

Christopher Reeve.

i was just about to post that. did anyone other than myself see hide and seek (probably not)? holy shit that was awful.

[ElBoberino]

Val Kilmer after Tombstone. Hasn't been good since.

Bruce Campbell - he's let the B-movie cult following go to his head. Loved him in the Evil Dead trilogy though. Nothing after that though.

Also, I think Sean Connery has gotten worse recently. I loved him in Red October and The Russia House but hasn't been good in anything else since 1990

[ChrisTheCop]

Harvey Keitel.

And we wouldnt have known it without Life on Mars.

Watching him play the tough guy now reminds me of
Lloyd Bridges as Izzy Mandelbaum on Seinfeld.

[GreatAmericanZero]

has anyone gotten better with age?

I'll choose every actor and actress that ever existed at some point

[Freakshow]

Always terrible. Hercules in New York.

Two words: Running Man.

[ihaveabadmonkey]

Hulk Hogan, it's been downhill since Rocky III.

Bill Murry.

yeah and i guess Heath Ledger ain't going to be getting any better. good for him!

Apparently you missed a little movie called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

[Uncle Fezster]

[QUOTE=ElBoberino;1943597]Val Kilmer after Tombstone. Hasn't been good since.

Really?

Have you scene?

Heat
Spartan
The Salton Sea
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

you're way off on both of those. kilmer has been pretty great in those recent roles mentioned above. especially kiss kiss bang bang.


& campbell is really really good on burn notice. i am one of his biggest fans & even i was expecting him to be terrible, but he's actually really good on the show.

[WhistlePig]

Nicholas Cage

It was also far from Martin Sheen's finest work. I cringe when he says "cawp".

[reillyluck]

Samual L. Jackson. Lock it up.

[drusilla]

but but he's going to be the new sho-nuff in the last dragon remake!!!!!!!

[reillyluck]

but but he's going to be the new sho-nuff in the last dragon remake!!!!!!!

I've had E-Nuff of him. :tongue:

i was dragged to see Jumper. That put me over the top!

Samual's line from Jumper: "Only God should have this power"

Reillyluck: "should he?"

[cps]

George Segal was great early in his career, but now he stinks on ice.

[cps]

Segal's acting reminds me of an athlete hosting Saturday Night Live.

[furie]

Chevy Chase and I hate to say it but Dan Akroyd.

first person who came to mind when i read the thread title was chevy chase

[Phishman40]

Nobody mentioned Travolta and if you use Hairspray to debate me your a fag.
