The One Where It Was Completely Phoned In

Much has been made of Matthew Perry's performance as Benny in 2010's Fallout: New Vegas, but it's worth mentioning about how much as a misstep it was for the actor.

Given that Perry's most popular character is Chandler Bing in Friends, those wise-cracking traits could have easily been injected into New Vegas. As the leader of the Tops casino, Perry could have absolutely shined with the retro, 50's style dialogue, hamming it up in the biggest way.

Instead, the performance given was so flat-sounding, you wondered if he was doing it over the phone whilst flicking through a shopping catalogue.

Given that he had a lot more presence than Stewart and Neeson, and going off the back of those two, Perry could have taken the chance to run with it and carve some memorable dialogue.

Sadly, it seems the house isn't always right, and he flopped.
