Hard to resist this thread, even though I don't usually question an actor's style. All a matter of taste , of mine and of their audience too.
But William Shatner comes to mind as the guy who was the hammiest on the set. I didn't mind really because I really enjoyed Star Trek, the show and the movies . And he always seemed to be ' in on the joke.'
Someone who wasn't in on the joke, at least to me, is Richard Dreyfus; even though he was in so many movies I enjoyed: Jaws , Close Encounters , Goodbye Girl. It never ruined the movies for me, but when he started yanking the pantyhose off the rack in Goodbye Girl I wanted to ask
if he 'd like those cold cuts of his with Swiss and mustard on rye.
Finally , an actor who also is in many movies I like, but is a self aggrandizing scene stealer- is Tommy Lee Jones. We hear about actors being loved in the business not just for their talent, but b/c they are generous to their co stars. But his Lt. Gerard in the Fugitive made the movie more about him than Harrison Ford, So much so they made a sequel about Gerard, which flopped btw. Just desserts, I'd say.
I don't really like to find glee in things like that. but you don't wanna cross the line with me on one thing- don't try and steal the glory from Harrison Ford.
