[/ QUOTE ] To be fair though, even overacting, the above guys are still very, very watchable and do bring something to the show. Dreyfuss, on the other hand, is good when he's acting properly (eg Stand By Me), and terrible when he's overacting. |

Re: And the nominees for Biggest Over-Actor of All Time are...
the first that came to mind was Jim Carrey (don't hate me) but I love him so he gets a pass
After what he did in Ace Ventura, Mask and Liar Liar he can overact all he wants. |

[/ QUOTE ] I have to disagree with this. Sure, he overacted in his early comedy movies, where all the roles were basically offshoots of his Living Colors characters. Based on his more recent work, like the Majestic or Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind, I'd say he's actually a very understated actor, which I find awesome. I agree with these honors going to Al Pacino. Maybe Joe Pesci deserves recognition in this area as well. Swede |

If you're talking about his comedic work like Home Alone, aren't the prat falls and goofy expressions all part of the performance? I mean those roles don't lend themselves to subtlety. |
