What is overacting? Post examples

[Fillerguy]

Jennifer Lawrence in virtually everything. People notice her overacting in American Hustle but not in Silver linings. I genuinely don't see what separates her from other actresses like that Twilight chick, other than the roles they get.

 

[Roman Brady]

The greatest example of overacting. I can't believe someone actually took the time to make this.

Say what you will at least he's had a hell of a career and there is a tinge of satire to what he does its entertaining most times than not. I can't say the same for other offenders such as Sean penn

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Nic Cage is the king of overacting.

This is a favourite of mine though



The hair flick at the end. And the fact it sounds like he read the stage directions by mistake and still hammed it up, too

Some one already said Sean Penn so

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Kurt Russell in Deathproof when he gets shot funny ass scene

slightly overacted i guess, but i would be doing the same thing, if not worse in real life.

wow, can't believe we made it 6 pages without the GOAT/WOAT overacter being mentioned.

OP, look up ANYTHING that has Bokeem Woodbine in it and close the thread.

That's why Wild at Heart was the near-perfect film for him.

I love Benjamin Sisko and his pimp hand, but Avery Brooks is corny at times

Sisko yelling can be dealt with.

It's when he speaks realllllllllllllll quietly that you know shyt done gone thermonuclear. Who was the Dax who had to be kept in jail, that scared the fukk out of the set crew when Sisko channelled him? Wonder what they would have been like if they had had an actual actor for that Dax versus Quiet Sisko?

She's alright in the hunger games movies when she isn't trying to do too much. Other than that, I don't get the hype either.

i think this is a case of underacting...
