8 More Baffling and Awkward IMdB Profile Photos

2. Geoffrey Rush

I can't lie. When I first saw this photo, I thought it was Dana Carvey in the turtle suit from The Master of Disguise. Not only is Rush giving an awkward, half-frightened and nervous smile, he's complimented with awful framing that looks like his body is about to absorb his head. He seriously looks like he's got a shell under his jacket. And while I'm no fashion expert, the hat gives off some strange SNL-Steve Martin vibes, which doesn't exactly fit the actor at hand. Someone so talented probably shouldn't have this kind of profile picture. Come on, Mr. Rush! Let's spice it up! Grow out your Pirates of the Caribbean beard again! Throw on a different hat! Pull out a gun! Hiss at the camera! Okay, okay. Maybe I'm getting carried away.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
