3. Matthew Broderick
It pains me to say it, but Matthew Broderick really is not a very good actor. Though hes widely-beloved for the excellent Ferris Buellers Day Off, Broderick is another instance of an actor who just seems to be playing themselves. While this works wonders for a likeable, off-the-tracks character like Bueller, its not exactly something he could continue to play as he got older, and in failing to diversify, demonstrating his lack of range, the job offers dried up. Though Broderick enjoyed a brief run of successful post-Bueller roles in the 80s, he soon enough ended up playing Inspector Gadget in the widely-panned reboot movie, and basically saw his career swirl down the toilet. Why? Because he is, in fact, a bad actor. Nowadays he just comes across as stilted and awkward; the only remotely entertaining thing Ive seen him in the last decade was an episode of Louie, but that was more down to Louie CKs brilliant script more than anything. It pains me to admit it, but its true.
