One Role Actors

I got this idea from theFrisky. They were on point about the stars who seem to only play themselves on the silverscreen; Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Matt McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, etc. Honestly, I don't know how some of these folks can call themselves actors. And while Michael Cera and Sandra Bullock have overstayed their welcome in the NerdCom and RomCon genres (dare I call them genres?), each can hold their own as talented actors. I have been in fanluv with Ryan Reynolds since this. I think we have yet to see his full-range, but he can play himself anyday. I can't wait to see him in this or this.

So theFrisky's list included actors who can actually act. If that's the premise, then you could add DeNiro, Washington and a few other big Hollywood ballers to that list. I contend however, that true One Rolers CAN'T act AND, they don't care.

Beckie's List of Awful/One Role Actors by Category

Wooden Actors or 

Geppetto's Best Work

1. Bokeem Woodbine. I don't know what Holly Hunter was thinking when she put in Saving Grace.

2. Jada Pinkett Smith. I want to like her. But she won't let me. Because she does stuff like this. I did like Wicked Wisdom...too bad it was a commercial flop.

Honorable Mention: Mechh-khi Phifer, Omar Epps, Dylan McDermott, Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Keanu Reaves and, no doubt, Kristen Stewart.

The Obvious or

One is How They Role

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba, Owen Wilson. I still don't know why JA is famous. What was she in?? I imagine that all of Katie's scripts are written in crayon on paper like this.

Women/Men like me...that's all I need

Allan Payne

Cameron Diaz

Megan Fox

Boris Kodjoe (I'm sorry, but y'all know it's true)

Hill Harper (he gets the Scooby Doo sound)

Ahh, I luv Scooby. I'm sure there will be updates to this post. I'll have to post something on actors Hollywood seems to be sleeping on later.
