Jeremy Davies


Jeremy Davies is my least favorite actor of all time. His performance in Saving Private Ryan was not bad, but in every other movie I've seen him in he plays the exact same character: The slightly deranged, confused, bumbling eccentric. And he's playing the same exact character on LOST right now. And it's not really acting. I've seen him in interviews and he is a slightly deranged, confused, bumbling eccentric. Like the guy in high school who tried so desperately hard to be weird but whose weird plan was way too transparent to be convincing.

I realize there are technically worse actors out there (Freddie Prinze, Jr., Lauren Ambrose, Keanu Reeves), but the fact that Jeremy Davies thinks his performances are compelling just completely bugs me.

I thought the exact same thing when I saw him on Lost. Not acting.
