10 More Amazing Roles Ruined By Terrible Acting

10. Forrest Whitaker (Saw Gerrera) - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

First being introduced during the brilliant animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series back in 2012, Saw Gerrera was a freedom fighter who at one point battled against the Separatists on his homeworld of Onderon.

He was a compelling, charismatic and complex figure, doing whatever it took to bring his people freedom and take down those who looked to oppress the galaxy. But his methods would eventually become somewhat extreme, with the death of his sister ultimately taking him down a darker path as the years rolled by.

Andrew Kishino first brought the awesome figure to life in that animated series, but it was Forest Whitaker who would take over the part from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story onwards. And that's when things initially got a little weird.

By this point in the timeline, a part-machine Gerrera is very much showing the effects of years of fighting. However, the performance is just a little too goofy and odd, with his unintentionally funny outbursts and the silly voice the star puts on largely undermining an otherwise fascinating Star Wars figure.

Whitaker would later deliver far more effective performances in the role as a younger Saw in the likes of the Jedi: Fallen Order game, and both the animated Rebels and Andor series. But Whitaker's strange Rogue One appearance was a live-action debut to forget for this great character.
