I have to go with Foghorn Leghorn. The constant swagger, the ah-say, ah-say's, the smug asides to the audience, the southern accent that's obviously fake. I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't even that rooster's real voice.

I've always thought he was a little too "Tennessee Williams," if you catch my drift.

Caveat. I haven't actually seen him in a film. I'm basing this on his behavior at the Oscars.

Roberto Benigni

You have to be able to actually act first, before you're accused of over-acting.

I probably appreciate gimmick accounts as much as anybody else here, but this account is HORRIBLE and needs to be banned. Commodus is in the PANTHEON of gimmick accounts, and no attempt to besmirch it should be allowed to happen.

Yeah, although he was bad too. If ever I need a laugh at awful over-acting, that's the film. Interesting concept though.

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.

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.
