Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's

there was a huge backlash from the Asian community as Rooney made Asians look like idiots


why didn't they just hire an oriental FFS

role ruined Rooney's career

his agent, and the director, should have stopped him as the character is clearly insipid

Jerry Seinfeld in all of his comedy series. I loved the series but Jerry's nasal whine when he raised his voice was annoying. Fortunately for him, the Kramer, Elaine and George characters were superbly portrayed.
 


usually bad acting is painful to watch but this is hilarious

worse karate moves

The Room is hilarious!

From a major motion picture viewpoint.

Worst Acting:

Tom Cruise - Born 4th July
Sharon Stone - Casino

Franchise.

Hayden Christiensen, Natalie Portman (Star Wars prequels)

Worst Directing:

Michael Mann - Public Enemies
Zach Snyder - Man of Steel

Bleakest outlook for a major film (terrible acting)

Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot - Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
 
Anything with William Shatner.

and the other Canadian who cannot act

there is a difference between actors who show little emotion and wooden actors

Reeves is the later

 
I'll make a general statement and say any TV show or movie from maybe 1975 and before that. Although I can probably bump that up to 1985-90. As for theatre, I'd say ALL acting is bad. Even shows now in the year 2015.

Looking back, the acting sure was cheesy back then.

The funny thing is that "acting" is supposed to be actors playing a part that comes off as believable (I'm not talking about slapstick comedies which are intended to be loud and goofy). Yet even now, acting is still cheesy and obviously fake.

Now if actors can replicate the drama and real life emotions you see in documentaries with people who aren't actors, then full props. But actors just aren't there yet.

I think actors are not supposed to be real in the sense you are describing

They would not be interesting if they did

they add more to their character then you would see in real life

For example, Jack Nicholson is a very interesting actor although not a real every day character
