21 Actors Who Are Riveting to Watch Even Though They Suck

A good performance is more than just a job well done. It’s a work of art that’s hard to tear your eyes away from. Whether it’s a traditionally compelling feat of drama or a masterful scream or stab in a horror movie or just a really, really funny nut shot, even the least critically thoughtful mouth-breather in the audience can recognize an artist at work.

But terrible actors can be just as mesmerizing. We’re not just talking about a “so bad it’s good” scenery feast, although those can also be fun. Sometimes, a talentless hack happens to be so charismatic, interesting or just plain hot that they command the screen as well as a virtuoso. That’s why user jthomson88 asked r/AskReddit, “Who’s considered a bad actor, but you still enjoy their work?”
