The 60s Batman tv show was the definition of hammy acting.

Jon Lovitz as "Master Thespian".

12. Self-Amusement Is A Good Thing!
We must find ways to entertain ourselves. Even if it's a pathetic, low comedy pun. (Sorry it needed some form of criticism. It was just so, so, well you know.)

14. Wow!
Carrey and diCaprio on the same poll! Now, that's a tough choice. If you would have also included Sally Field, my head would have exploded with indecision.

18. Mind you, they're on my list of favorite actors. But they're..
hams nonetheless.

Sally Field. That's another good one.

Yeesh! I can't stand either one of them. I don't think we'll be going to the movies together. It wouldn't be prudent.

15. I voted for Shatner
But given the choice, I would have voted for Jack Nicholson. About all he can manage is threaten and grimace. "The Shining" is embarrassing to watch.

40. I voted for Shatner too, BUT
it was a coin toss between Shatner and Jim Carrey!

Nicholson???? Never!!!! His character in The Shining was CRAZY, remember????

Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 10:43 AM by FlaGranny
but I actually quite like him and his hamminess.

Edit: I didn't vote for Carey because I don't really think he's an actor.

Edited on Thu Aug-28-03 12:00 PM by Kahuna
AND Michael Douglas. Next time we'll have to have two polls. One with old time actors and one with contemporary actors.

I love CSI, but I cant handle CSI miami because of him.It could be a great show if they would just kill off his character.
All he does is take his sun glasses off and say HMMM.. (Yeah that takes skill.)

34. Rod Steiger...
Ever seen "Waterloo" (1970)?
I can't put into words the lyric heights of hamminess Rod reaches in that movie.
He plays Napoleon....
The man is a giant made large by a twenty year diet of scenery swallowed in lusty gulps!
:)
Ney: France will no longer follow you...
Napoleon: France-will-follow-me-to-the-STARS if I give her another victory!!!!

36. This is just too tough
William Shatner vs. Al Pacino. Spam vs. prosciutto. I finally gave it to Al because that tirade in "Devil's Advocate" had me rolling with laughter.

And where was Bette Davis?
