Who do you feel is the most overrated actor working today?
I'd say Leonardo Dicaprio. Dicaprio is good but widly overpraised.

In terms of money made per movie, Will Ferrell. He's plain garbage but gets top level actor money. The only thing remotely good that he's starred in was his days on Saturday Night Live

lol I'd probably say will ferrell as well...not sure about Leonardo DiCaprio - he got his name from Titanic and i don't hear a lot of "overpraise" as you say, the last movie I watched Starring DiCaprio was "Blood Diamond" which was pretty good

Being nominated for an Oscar is the highest honor an actor can be celebrated with, yet it seems like the Academy deems any film Dicaprio is in to be important, and nominates him without even watching the film.
There are so many other actors (Ed Harris, Gary Sinise, Gary Oldman) who have turned in a career of excellent, film stealing performances, but they don't have the hype machine behind them like Leo does.

Tom Cruise, I don't think he can act that well. It may just be because I don't like him and look for everything he does wrong in his movies.
Julia Roberts. I never liked her movies AT all.

lol...i'll top that with Ben Affleck - i never liked his movies...the only one I'd watch over and over is Armageddon and he's not even the main star...its Bruce Willis lol

Ben Affleck movies that I like
He played in Clerks 2 but only for 1 scene
Reindeer Games is top notch
Dogma is awesome
Armageddon is awesome, imo he complemented Bruce Willis well
Good Will Hunting, didn't have the lead but still good in it
Mallrats, he played a good a-hole
Dazed and Confused, he played his 5th senior role well
hmm I guess you could call him overrated but I still like a lot of his stuff

Will Ferrell is highly over-rated, and I would also have to say Matthew Mcconaughey is pretty over-rated as well.

Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller... or are they one and the same? Anyway... can't stand that they always star in the same movies as the same type of looser guy! And everybody just love 'em for it... why?

ya I only like Envy from Ben Stiller, he did do a good role as the male nurse in Happy Gilmore..can't believe there going to do a Zoolander 2. And as for Adam Sandler his last good movie was nearly 10 freaking years ago, man his career is riddled with a bunch a average movies and suckages

really? every ben stiller movie i've seen he played a completely different character. Dodgeball, meet the parents/fockers, his small part in happy gilmore, and i'm guessing he doesn't play anyone similar to his roles in those films in tropic thunder.
adam sandler...yeah he's the same in every movie. Same with will ferrell.
