10 Actors Who Just Gave Their Worst Performance EVER

3. Dennis Quaid - On A Wing & A Prayer

On a Wing and a Prayer would be hot trash with just about any actor in the lead role, but even for Dennis Quaid - who has made no-rent Christian dramas his bread and butter in recent years - this is seriously sloppy stuff.

Quaid dramatises the life of Doug White, a husband and father who is forced to take control of a private aircraft containing his family when the pilot dies of a heart attack.

Corny isn't even the word to describe his work here, from his hilariously unconvincing Southern American accent to the strangely laughable facial expressions he pulls throughout. It all hits an off-key and turns an apparently inspirational story into an abject farce.

Quaid certainly isn't the only actor to have his dignity take a hit merely by appearing in this - Heather Graham also slums it as his screen wife - but even with as many undemanding genre joints as he's appeared in lately, this somehow teases out his worst performance ever.
