Sorry OP, but I don't agree with your list. They may lack method and originality as actors but wooden to me implies that they lack confidence and are often out of their depth on screen and these actors are neither of those.

The below is what I call wooden:

Michael Cera

Adam Beach

Anton Yelchin

Vanessa Hudgens

Danny Trejo

Danny Dyer

Kristen Stewart

Daniel Baldwin

I couldn't agree more. Was looking to see if someone would mention him.

Having just seen a leaked copy of Expendables 3 I can confirm that it's packed with wooden actors, Mel Gibson is brilliant though, he still does crazy better than anyone else.

Thumbs up to whoever said Canoe Reeves and Clive Owen... both of which have "the artistic talent of a cluster of colour-blind hedgehogs in a bag"

But I can't help but love some of their films lol

I guess it's because sometimes their woodenness works and fits the story...whilst most of the time it's just... wooden

If you want to see some truly dreadful acting that made it onto the silver screen I'd suggest Tom Courtenay in 'Last Orders' and Samuel Jackson in 'Star Wars'. At one point I swear Jackson flaps his lightsaber around and then looks at the camera as if to say "why kind of shit movie am I in here?" I guess he was beginning to realise he was working with the same director who made 'Howard The Duck' lol

I feel the same about David Jason. Same character all the time but just a slight change of accent. Can't watch him in anything.

The entire cast of Eastenders.

Everyone in any marvel film.

The one show presenters. Their both wooden, AND devoid of charm, warmth, sincerity, charisma, personality... the list goes on.

Scott Bacula.

Actually, thinking about it, most actors, especially from hollywood are pretty wooden. So hard to think an truly accelent actor. We need a list of Good and great actors.

In the middle

Johnny Depp are you crazy? He is probably one of the greatest character actors of our time

Lets look at Keanu Reeves, good grief he is so wooden he grows acorns on his knob.

Sean Connery is another as no matter who he is supposed to be he is always Sean Connery

As much as I used to love Sean Bean in Sharpe you just cant take the Sheffield out the lad

He has made like 5 movies using an english accent in a 30 year career, and that's what you're basing it on? What about movies like Donnie Brasco, Heat, Blow, Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Bennie and June, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, A Nightmare On Elm Streeet, Cry Baby, The Libertine I could go on but I've made my point. Just because Jack Sparrow is his most well known character, doesn't mean he can't act.

Actually, your quite right. I completely agree that Tom Hiddlestone is a good actor. And his future looks promising. Although THOR was was a terrible affront to film. Granted i'm not a 12 year old girl, with a penchant for shit, moral less straight to DVD movie, along with Buffy and Angel. But I still consider it a god awful wanky watse of my time and knowing that other people watched it, and some even liked it, made me want to just die!

Apologies for the rant!

Dont agree.

Sure its no longer the golden age of Hollywood these days but to dismiss everyone involved in the MCU is in my opinion, a mistake.

Yes! So there

I'm only kidding. Obviously some of those actor can actually act. Such as Chistopher ecclestone, Robert redford, and Anthony Hopkins. Even Ben Kingslay and Idris Elba. But not sure about th rest. Especially Bradly Cooper. He has blue eye;s and a nice smile. Thats it! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to step into this flame proof suit!

The worst is Woody Allen, he make me cringe watching him.

Vinnie Jones is another one, he got lucky being friends with Guy Ritchie to get roles.
