I’m quite an easy going person and there’s not many stars of the screen profession that I would say I‘m not keen on watching. Some people don’t like Tom Cruise (perhaps more to do with his off screen interests than performances) and there are some who can’t tolerate Tom Hanks as a couple of examples. Ryan Reynolds is another that many cannot stand!
However, there is one actor that has become fairly ubiquitous in the last few years and I cannot for the life of me fathom why? Firstly, I’m not a follower of Dr. Who so have not watched him in the role that ‘made his name.’ I believe he was very popular playing this part. Unfortunately, every film appearance I’ve watched him in is the same - he just walks around with the same one note, smug expression as if he is begging for the battering of his life. I don’t think he can act very well and practically plays the same character in Morbius and Last Night in Soho. Both performances were to the detriment of the film (good job the latter counter balances with Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy); and he’s probably going to ruin House of the Dragon. I’m, of course, talking about Matt Smith.*
