Re: What constitutes 'good acting' for you?

Exact flip side of what I said above. When I believe an actor is the character, when I can immerse in the media. When I don't see the actor, I see the character.

For me especially good actors are the ones who can do completely different roles that are shockingly different and yet you can completely believe they are that character every time.

I'm tired, so having trouble coming up with examples. Uh, Walter Koenig who played both Chekov on Star Trek and then Bester on Babylon 5, two completely different roles, and you entirely believe him. He's so chilling as Bester, at times you forget your watching the guy who played Chekov.

Tilda Swinton comes to mind. She does so many different, varied things, and she's amazing in everything she does. You believe her every time.

Charlize Theron is another. I mean, I usually think she's insanely hot, but she was totally unrecognizable in Monster. She just does so many different things so well.

And let's talk about Bryan Cranston. I don't think I need to explain why he's on this list.

Tilda Swinton is amazing. Like, people knock Constantine, but she was a fucking amazing Gabriel in it.

Tilda Swinton is one of the most visually engaging people I have ever laid eyes upon. Gabriel was an awakening.

Walter Koenig really knocked it out of the park with Bester on B5. There is not a single trace of Chekhov and he's so so chilling. Nice example!

+1 — but only if it’s compatible with good acting when it’s obvious the actor is having huge amounts of fun playing the role. (For me, it absolutely is.)
