Performers who just blew it

Performers who just blew it http://www.imdb.com/list/J_j0gUgHM24/ The star system often spawns hammy performances. Of course, the higher the productivity, the higher the chance of exposing oneself to the lack of inspiration, which increases the chances of blowing it. The worst actors of all times are probably those who are already prohibited to fill out a new application, or those whose agents have already dispensed with. Anyway, here is a handful of both pop stars and pop-up stars whose least memorable performances weren't up to our quality standards.

As Napoleon, in Désirée 6. As Sakini in The teahouse of t he August moon (Italo Rossi did a much, miuch better job on stage) 7. As Matt in The Appaloosa 8. As Fletcher Christian in Mutiny at the Bounty (Mel Gibson was fine in this role; even Clark Gable was better than Brando) 9. As Ogden Mears in The Countess from Hong Kong 10. (by proxy) As he refused his 'Godfather' Best Actor Oscar in 1972, Brando sent fake 'Apache Indian' Sacheen Littlefeather, of the American Indian Movement (at this very lowest point, Brando showed his absolute lack of sense of humor) Sat, 28 Jul 2012 07:00:41 GMT Brad Pitt http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000093/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000093/ 1.

Do pick your choices Sat, 28 Jul 2012 07:14:36 GMT Johnny Depp http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000136/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000136/ 1. In Public enemies (2009) 2. In Edward Scissorhands (1990) 3.

In Deception (2008) 4. In Nora (2000) 5. In Shallow grave (1994) 6. In Big fish (2003) 7. In Angels and Demons (2009) I'll have to stop here. Ewan has been saved by the gong. I've only seen 13 of his movies, but he still qualifies, I'm afraid. Kudos to Mr. & Mrs. Luhrman!

In Mary Reilly (1996) That's enough, I guess, as far as I'm concerned, as awful as it gets Sat, 28 Jul 2012 07:51:46 GMT Val Kilmer http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000174/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000174/ All I can say is that his voice suit very nicely the animated Prince of Egypt, dubbing Moses and God without having to show his expressionless face. His Jim Morrison and his Simon Templar (The Saint) were appallingly poor, though. Sat, 28 Jul 2012 13:15:54 GMT Sylvia Kristel http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000482/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000482/ 1. As Emmanuelle (1974) 2. As Mata Hari (1985) 3. In La marge (1976) 4.

Let's say, however, that in thye role of Rita, 'A Fofoqueira de Porto Alegre,' she demonstrated how dramatically inept she's capable of being Sat, 28 Jul 2012 13:46:04 GMT Maurício do Valle http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0229489/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0229489/ 1.
