Actresses Who Aren't Big Screen Worthy

Seriously, probably a really nice lady but...we're supposed to believe we're watching characters who aren't Reese Witherspoon. If she was a reoccurring ditsy blonde on a television sitcom, she found the character that really works for her. Not that she's ditsy in real life, (she's actually wised up and produces so major nod to that), just that she hit her niche with the Legally Blonde role. Getting an Oscar for a role that casts you to play your own culture and background...literally, showed there were slim to no pickens that Oscar year.

Typically top actresses had to work their way up the ladder, not have parents who own it. Unfortunately being on the big screen is business and all that comes across when Gwyneth is on the big screen is, "My parents are Hollywood Icons." One could easily say that's the prejudice against every Hollywood heir but Angelina easily dispels that. As does terrific in all she does, Drew Barrymore.

It's great she decided to judge on American Idol because up until then she came across as just another arrogant diva which made her unappealing to watch. Now she seems truly kind and a really good person. However strictly on the business side of things, it's hard to understand why J.Lo continued to get cast for the big screen. On the other hand, everyone is fortunate the big screen seems to be shying away from her since we now get to see her on television in the amazing Shades of Blue and World of Dance.

Where do we start? There just aren't any answers other than when you start acting as a child, people just keep hiring you. This actress unfortunately has a very...very limited big screen appeal. She got the break of a lifetime with a mega hit series, (i.e. Keira Knightley in Pirates), and unfortunately that's all you need for Hollywood to think you're the reason the movie did so well, (as opposed to the story already having a cult following). Again, this is strictly business and the reasons for this actress being in major films...just aren't there to audiences. It's like...shopping for tan outfits; no wow factor; it's just because there's no other choices and you're already in the store.

Oh sweetie...and you probably are one but again, this is business. Just be happy you made this list because it means you're known. The downside is that you're not known for being a big screen draw though your sitcom skills are some of the best...truly. When your name is the lead in a major film, (sadly), it means that the script is going to be a mess and that watching the film will be like filling up on empty calories. Please go back to television and help bring that back to life because we'll all definitely tune in.

Probably a fantastic person and it may be possible that she just has not found the right role that doesn't have her dressing up in make-up, (The Hours), to get her to really open up. Otherwise, not bad acting just...okay.

Fun actress to watch if it's another Disney film...made for tweens. Not enough for adults however. It might be time to produce instead.

Too see-through. It's hard to get into characters this actress plays because there's just a militant vibe of some type of negativity that lingers around her. Too bad because her portrayal of her former character on Grey's Anatomy will always be in the top 10 of the most favored.

Easily confused with a multitude of up-and-coming actresses. She has beautiful eyes and seems like a very nice person though. Sadly, it's just so very hard to remember her.

Hmm...do you hear crickets? Yes...that's it in a nutshell.
