1. Quentin Tarantino
Preferred Acting Style: Fail To Realise You're Embarrassing Yourself No director irks me with their on-screen appearances more than Quentin Tarantino, who doubles as one of my all-time favourite filmmakers, and one of my least favourite actors in the history of cinema. There is simply no explanation for Tarantino's constant will to include himself in the frames of his pictures than that he's a frustrated actor, which makes sense, given that he is. Tarantino originally pursued acting before he found he was far better at actually writing and directing movies, and as a result we've all been suffering since. Not with his movies, mind, but with the man's occasional dips into small acting parts that he presumably writes with himself in mind. Thing is, Tarantino must think he's pretty good at acting, and I'll admit there are times when he can pull off a line or something, but generally speaking having him in a movie feels akin to casting the mentally-challenged kid at school in a big part - surrounded by all the other good actors, it's pretty weird to watch. It's not just his acting style, though: it's that spotting him is never anything but distracting. Was that an Australian accent in
Django? F*ck. Please, please, please stop putting yourself in your movies, Quentin!
