Cage can still act. It's just that all the recent projects he chose suck (or don't require real acting) except the recent Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans. He is very good in it.

Jolie can also act. She was good recently in Changeling.

Also, a lot of people are naming character actors. True, character actors generally aren't good actors but they generally aren't bad actors.

When I go into a Will Ferrell or, ugh, Rob Schnieder movie (ok, he's a bad actor) I generally know what to expect.

Just like that kid from Juno and Zombieland, he knows how to play one character and he plays it well.

Nothing really wrong with that, it may suck for them since they can't branch out, but meh, at least I know what to expect in their movies.

@ bolded-That is hilarious. I know just what you mean, because the star of Spiderman and Jarhead plays one character really well also and then played two roles at the same time in Brothers.

 

You are funny :)

It's funny that this thread was created, as I was just having this conversation with my girlfriend earlier. My pick is Christian Bale.  

He's an absolutely horrible actor who somehow gets great roles.  We watched "Public Enemies", which Christian Bale did his best to ruin.  Remember in The Dark Knight, how he would make that retarded voice whenever he was in the Batsuit?

It's funny that so many of you have mentioned Nicholas Cage, because I actually said "He's the new Nicholas Cage".

maybe because the director asked him to do that? I don't know why that counts as Bale's acting skills.

Christian Bale has been more than solid since Empire of the Sun.
