And the nominees for Biggest Over-Actor of All Time are...

I think Richard Dreyfuss' over acting works in comedies. "Look at What about Bob?" and "Let it Ride" - Dreyfuss at his best. But in dramatic scenes, not so much.

Definitely agree on Shatner.

My vote is for Andy Garcia, but I think he is just mimicing Al Pacino when he acts.

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.

Clearly my point was that Jim Carrey is a better actor than Al Pacino. You, sir are a brilliant interpreter of posts.

Jason Lee. They keep putting him in good movies and he keeps trying to ruin them. I'd rather pluck my own eyeballs out than watch his new sitcom.

Please name three "good" movies that he was in and ruined by himself.

Pacino. Thread over. Come on.

Thank you. I love the guy but is there really a contest here? Especially since I just watched Heat again last night.
