Tina Yothers was bad, but that crown has been squarely passed to the kid on 2 1/2 men (as someone else already mentioned)

Well since the thread is "Bad Actors or Actresses in prominent roles on good shows" David Caruso's awful acting on CSI Miami can't be counted because the entire show is an hour long exercise is terrible acting, silly wardrobe and asinine, unrealistic plots.

And yet this suck fest is still somehow a ratings winner which verifies my belief that the American culture is beyond help.

I like the show "Dexter", but the actress who plays Dexter's sister is unbearably bad. How could they miss so badly on such a major role?
Got me thinking: what are some other examples of good TV shows that have terrible actors in prominent roles?


She was my nomination before I read the thread. My biggest problem with her is the strange looks she has all the time.

I find her flat chest to be a source of bitter disappointment.

I vote for Mariska Hargitay(is Law & Order SVU still any good?). Regardless of the script, her character has no depth & she plays it in an even less compelling method.

W_Z, are you sure Steve Buscemi's in the cast? If there's one thing "30 Rock" has become synonymous with besides Emmy gold, Tina Fey & Alec Baldwin, it's big name guest stars and Buscemi may have been one of them...

He appeared in an episode as a private investigator hired by Alec Baldwins character during last season, SHARK.

Completely agree, W_Z. I usually like him, but he wasn't given an opportunity to even be funny in that role.

I thought Steve guest starred, Ivan, on "30 Rock". :wink: I wasn't sure, that's all.

This is more inexplicable than your ridiculous Bart Starr was never any good stance. She's good. Not the best on the show, but good. I still really like the show, although I think they keep striking out and missing with who they pick for ada. Not a big fan of Cpt. Kragen either.

Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang on Smallville was terrible. Didn't miss her departure at all.

Ken Johnson as Lem on The Shield brought nothing to the role other than a whiny bitch.

Plus, she's Jayne Mansfield's kid, and seems to have inherited the nice rack.
