When good actors go bad...

I always wonder if they do it just for something to do. Or maybe the script looked better on paper.

Also, Richard Drefuss in Piranha 3D.

Liam Neeson since Ep. 1.

Cuba Gooding jr. in just about everything.

I think some actors do it because they just don't care, it's just a paycheck to them; I know that in some cases like with John Malkvich, movies are just supplementary income and their primary work is done on stage. In the case of Liam Neeson, my wife and I think that sine his wife died he just takes any role now a days just to keep busy. In other cases, I think it's because either their agent sucks, they pick scripts that read better than they are made, or they just have poor taste in scripts
 
Try sitting next to him at a Premiere

People were knocking others out of their way to get away from him at the Premiere of Malicifent.

A friend of mine got "stuck" with him babbling incoherently untill the next victim came along and she fosted him upon them!

Don't know if he was having a bad night but it scared the bejesus out of my friend


Horribly bad....

Jon Voight in Anaconda. Do I win?
 
Wow...! Crazy but (sort of) fun story!

By the way was he babbling with a horrible Latin accent and smirking like a damn grouper the whole time...?

Nonono. That scene in Part 2 IS good, precisely BECAUSE of how he played the role up until that point. Michael is always calm, controlled, and methodical, and it's only when Kay confesses what she did that he TOTALLY LOSES IT. It completely sells the emotion of that scene, and how Michael is realizing that everything he told himself, all about how he was doing this for his family, it's all been corrupted now. HE has been corrupted now.

No, I'd say he really just lost it after Scent of a Woman. Or he figured "F--- it. My thing is doing stage plays now, so movies are how I pay for doing what I really love to do."

Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing scene. For the reasons you mention. But it's the birth of over the top Pacino.

It's like he got high off the intensity and has been addicted ever since

Marlon Brando in everything after superman, Orson Welles after he lost most of his fortune and did nothing but weird paranormal documentaries.
