What are some great actors' worst roles?

[Arkham House]

My thanks to Faygokid for this idea...We agreed on Laurence Olivier in "Inchon"...a few more that come to mind for me are Clark Gable in "Parnell", Sean Connery in "League of Extraordinary gentleman", Julia Roberts as Tinkerbelle in "Hook", Richard Burton in practically anything, but especially, perhaps, "The Assassination of Trotsky", Ingrid Bergman as Joan of Arc, Humphrey Bogart in "The Return of Dr X"--you haven't lived until you've seen this film...I must be missing lots, let's have some...

1. DeNiro in "Frankenstein"

that one comes to mind. Or "We're no Angels"

[Faygo Kid]

3. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

That is an inspired choice.

[blondeatlast]

5. Good choice. nt

[Faygo Kid]

2. George C. Scott: Exorcist 3

You've got some great ones there, but I will start with this one.

[Aristus]

4. She may not rank up there with the greats, but I'll tell you who

disappointed me:

Rosalind Chao, in the Lindsey Lohan re-make of "Freaky Friday". Chao played the owner of a Chinese restaurant. No problem there, but she played the character with a "rood you rike flied lice" stereotyped accent that was atrocious. If it was her idea, it was bad; if it was the director's idea, and she went along with it, that's even worse. Rosalind Chao is a fine actress and a beautiful woman, but I lost all patience with her in that role.

6. Pacino in "Simone"

I couldn't think of any other really bad ones he had & I even went to imdb.com to look at his filmography.

[kiraboo]

10. Geez, what about Pacino in "A Merchant of Venice"?

A bonafide stinkbomb.

[yellowdogintexas]

7. Paul Newman, Strother Martin, Lee Marvin in "Pocket Money"

what an unbelievable disappointment that one was. Right after the success of "The Sting" and "Butch Cassidy", too.

That is a hat trick, three great actors in the same BOMB of a movie.

[Neshanic]

8. Anything Orson Welles did in 60's or 70's.

[Arkham House]

25. Even "Chimes at Midnight"?

I know, I know...a controversial film...but I thought it was an inspired performance, and in general, I rather like the later Welles more than some people do...he was pretty good as Wolsey in "Man for all Seasons", too...

[KitchenWitch]

9. Tom Hanks in "Bonfire of the Vanities"

[LeftyMom]

11. Marlon Brando in The Island of Dr Moreau

:scared:

[BigMcLargehuge]

12. Ben Gazarra in Road House

4' 11" of pure evil

[Broken_Hero]

13. Sean

Connery in The Avengers...

Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black...

Clooney in Batman and Robin, he had the potential to be a bad ass batman, but the whole movie was a waste...

Richard Pryor in Superman III, just plain bad casting/story in that one.

[Haole Girl]

14. Anthony Hopkins

in Nixon

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. Tony Todd in Final Destination 2

[Giant Robot]

16. No Sean Connery movie will ever be as bad as

Highlander 2 : The Quickening.

I cry myself to sleep at night praying I don't have dreams of that piece of s***

[Kingshakabobo]

18. He had to do that movie at gun-point or threat of a huge lawsuit. n/t

[Giant Robot]

19. I was thinking they had pics of him with goats or something n/t

[Arkham House]

24. My God, I've managed to forget that one...

...now, every detail is back in my memory....arggghhh!!!

[Giant Robot]

26. You're welcome! n/t

[BigMcLargehuge]

17. Sharon Stone in Casino

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Everybody in Burton's "Planet of the Apes"

They should all be fucking embarrassed to have been in that piece of shit. Especially David Warner.

[heart of darkness]

21. what about Jon Voight in Superbabies:Baby Geniuses 2..

btw, I have John Voight's car.

Michael Caine in Jaws the revenge.

Jeremy Irons in Dungeons and Dragons

[Nailzberg]

22. While you're talking "Hook"

Dont' forget Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman had the other leads.

There are several Oscars between them.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Dean Stockwell in any of his B movies. He had too many of those. :^(

[JVS]

27. Ernest Borgnine as grampa in "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders"
