they got the role of a lifetime but
somewhere somehow things went wrong oh
hello
I was just welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 actors who bombed in big
roles for this list we’ve chosen actors
who are cast in major parts in
anticipated films but had their
performances heavily panned either by
critics movie goers or both I hope I can
live up to a high standard for the
record we’re not saying we think these
actors are bad or untalented but that
these roles could have been better acted
or better cast you don’t having to do
this to me please
number 10 George Lazenby on Her
Majesty’s Secret Service my name is bond
James Bond following in the footsteps of
Sean Connery’s James Bond was gonna be a
thankless job no matter who was given
the honor here comes big fly with exotic
big Friday Koosh delight so when a model
from a big fried chocolate commercial
got the job based on how he looked when
the film’s producer met him at a
barbershop the writing was on the wall
mmm not bad for stud despite George
Lazenby’s good looks and bond-esque
physique his acting wasn’t quite up to
par story of our life James lets keep my
martini cool he appeared uncomfortable
had trouble delivering his lines and
even had his voice substituted by
another actors for certain scenes is
anything sometta sadly just the slight
stiffness coming on the Australian
thespian became the only actor to ever
play Bond just once this never happened
to the other fellow number 9 Mike Myers
The Cat in the Hat sort of a bit a film
so bad it inspired dr. Seuss’s Widow to
ban any more live-action adaptations of
her late husband’s work The Cat in the
Hat features a Mike Myers performance as
the titular feline that should be put to
sleep I think that’s a great idea
awkward and unfunny it appeared that
someone behind the film believed that if
a character laughs at every joke he
makes the audience will have to think
it’s funny too
riding high after the successes of
Austin Powers in Goldmember and the
first Shrek movie Myers career was never
quite the same
following this awful performance well
there were two treatments I’d recommend
one is a series of painful shots
injected into your abdomen and kneecaps
and the other involves a musical number
how many shots number eight Topher Grace
spider-man three fresh off the TV show
that made him a star Topher Grace was
tapped to play one of the most popular
spider-man villains venom in the third
installment of Sam Raimi’s trilogy
instead of stretching as an actor and
becoming a bigger star because of it he
brought little to nothing new to the
role and became a major part of why the
film was so loathed by so many fans
what’s that smell that’s a little
something called nice and easy what’s on
you help go away coming off like a
teenager that thinks the world is out to
get him instead of the badass Eddie
Brock slash venom is meant to be grace
appears to have bitten off more than he
could chew this suit you got to take it
off oh you’d like that wouldn’t you
number 7 Mark Wahlberg Planet of the
Apes Oh
one of many actors who were tasked with
performing awful lines in front of
beautiful set pieces in this remake of
the 1968 sci-fi flick Mark Wahlberg
failed the hardest of every performer
involved most likely because he’s the
lead let’s get you people out air
tell me golden loans and while there’s
still a chance when an actor resorts to
being out of breath in scene after scene
to invoke everything from confusion to
exhaustion it’s a clear sign that things
probably aren’t going to turn out well
you’re hurt and at the center of a love
triangle with a fellow human and an ape
he also manages the impressive feat of
having zero chemistry with either of
them
number six Keanu Reeves Bram Stoker’s
Dracula I didn’t hear you come in
despite being a capable actor who has
starred in many successful films jokes
about Keanu Reeves perceived inability
have dogged him throughout his career as
if I have a part to play in a story that
is not known to me with very few
discernible differences between his
acting in this film
compared to his two turns as Ted in the
Bill and Ted flicks excellent which were
comedies as opposed to the horror
fantasy and dramatic tone of Dracula
Keano barely seems to understand the
words that are coming out of his own
mouth well I’ll let you go into the
unknown alone and that’s not even
considering his sloppy British accent I
know where the Boston sleeps I brought
him down sharing scenes with the
immensely talented Gary Oldman in one of
that actors best roles casts an even
greater spotlight on how out of his
depth Reeves was in the part I have
offended you with my ignorance counter
number five Ashton Kutcher Jobs Steve
Jobs Steve Jobs all right this 2013
attempt by Ashton Kutcher to be taken
seriously as an actor sees Kelso take on
the role of the late co-founder of Apple
Inc Apple
excuse me
Apple like the fruit the fruit of
creation Apple it’s simple but
sophisticated for Atari mobile
unfortunately his performance as Steve
Jobs in the biographical drama fell
completely short of that lofty goal this
company will not make shit anymore
lacking any of the complexity of the
real-life man Kutcher instead relies on
facial hair and stone face staring to
mask his inability to enact nuanced
emotions I’m I’m a little bit busy just
good to mind if we talk later many were
left disappointed at the film’s
superficial look at jobs life which did
little to represent him as the icon he
was and still is still worst mistake I
have ever made
number 4 Ben Affleck daredevil prior to
this superhero flick Ben Affleck was a
fairly respected actor as well as an
Academy Award winning screenplay writer
the leprechauns got his dick in the
monkey’s ass and mugging somebody I
don’t write and well he’s regained some
of that respect mostly for his directing
burger so we still remember when he
starred in this abysmal comic-book
adaptation that threatened to erase the
career he’d been tirelessly building to
that point cut tonight
yeah what to do seemingly sleepwalking
in every scene Affleck lacks any of the
charisma or charm he’s come to be known
for as the titular hero
it even earned him a Razzie for worst
actor alongside his roles in GE and
Paycheck the same year I never worked
here I never saw anybody it never was
here I got my paycheck ready number
three Colin Farrell Alexander and so be
it when movie fans got wind that the
visionary director of films like platoon
and Natural Born Killers was going to
bring to life one of history’s most
successful leaders many were undoubtedly
salivating but when they saw the end
product we can only imagine they cried
tears of despair into their popcorn tubs
nominated for a worst actor Razzie Colin
Farrell’s take on the titular military
leader could be called pitiful culture
you’re fair and I promise you you’ll
conquer death at least when compared to
the real Alexander the Great who was a
man of such overpowering personality
that former generals went to battle over
who got to keep his corpse following his
death wish never once in any of the many
cuts of the film does Ferrell ever even
once hint at that level of gravitas run
alone even a small percentage of it
number two George Clooney
Batman and Robin hi freeze I’m Batman
Joel Schumacher’s 1997 superhero flick
is the film that broke a million Batman
fanboys hearts there’s something about
an anatomically correct rubber suit that
puts fire in a girl’s lips fortunately
for George Clooney he managed to survive
what many consider the worst comic book
movie of all time and that’s saying
something through luck and sheer talent
hey freeze the heat is on but for some
reason he didn’t bring that talent to
Batman and Robin I know and you are
years later he jokingly offered to
refund the ticket price to anyone
foolish enough to have seen it in the
theater and one critic even compared his
performance to george Lazenby’s bond if
that doesn’t speak to how bad he
performed as Batman we don’t know what
does work to do
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions who’s
your father I’ll give you a hint
he’s a town I’m Elise I’m Frank that’s a
terrible name oh yeah the old one I’ve
got maybe we can find you another okay I
want to see if I upset you it was
because I don’t know I was trying to
celebrate you and protect you at the
same time those two things got confused
you saved my life midnight but somebody
killed me and I’ve got to find out who
and why
number one Hayden Christensen Star Wars
episodes two and three it’s not fair
Darth Vader’s faceless facade allowed
for him to become the absolute
personification of evil when the
original Star Wars trilogy came out
there is no escape
don’t make me destroy after Return of
the Jedi humanized him the stage was set
for the character to be further fleshed
out in the prequels I don’t like sand
it’s coarse rough and irritating and it
gets everywhere unfortunately nobody was
prepared for how annoying and grating
Jake Lloyd was as a young Anakin
Skywalker in Episode one jacoco Oommen
DISA meaty cirrhotic ivanovich F Chow
and things didn’t get much better for
the second and third episodes as the
older version of Anakin Hayden
Christensen took a figure to be feared
and transformed him into a whiny baby
who seems on the verge of tears in
almost every scene I hate them
adding insult to injury he also takes
part in romantic scenes that are
supposed to make audiences care about
the characters involved instead
Christensen mostly came across as wooden
and creepy I’m haunted by the kiss that
you should never have given me my heart
is beating do you agree with our list
which actor do you think dropped the
ball in a major role for more
entertaining top 10s published every day

request you will accept my resignation
