Let’s discuss the worst actor or over-actor in TV history. Not worst character, but person who was just terrible at being a thespian of the small screen. Example: I hate the show Big Bang Theory, but they at least portray their awful characters in a decent way.

I humbly nominate Dee from What’s Happening! Lines delivered with all the warmth of an icicle, with similar rigidity. Some will says she was deadpan. I say they’re half correct.

Link below might not work, because their show is not even good enough for YouTube. FF to 13:00 for some of the worst acting you’ve ever seen. She made the Doobie Brothers look like Shakespearean actors.

I read the girl in What's Happening Now made Dee look like Meryl Streep. Never saw that. You are correct about Dee. Every take was cut, retake.

This probably doesn't count because it was a made for TV movie...but it was indeed on the small screen so maybe it counts.

I humbly submit Vanna White in the Made for TV movie Goddess of Love. Horrible movie and her acting was the worst I have ever seen on any screen...big or small.

Michael Rapaport is pretty terrible in most everything, but was truly awful in Justified.


You stole my answer completely. I despise that a-hole in real life and on the show.

Did i mention that I sincerely despise him? Yes, despise. He’s the duke, IU, U6 and UNC* rolled up into one actor.

I did say despise, right?

List starts and stops with David Caruso.

What is it with you @funKYcat75 with all these goofy threads you start in The Paddock? You always seem to be...............horsin’ around.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Good call.

Perpetual profile shot while putting on sunglasses and saying cheesy one liners.

I'd also go with basically anyone on a day time soap
