10 Bad Actors Hollywood Keeps Pushing (4 of 6)

Hero Fiennes Tiffin

Hero Fiennes Tiffin became a romance-franchise fixture thanks to the “After” movies, where he used his biggest acting asset—the “brooding face.” Hollywood knows that if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it, so they kept releasing more and more of those crappy movies. But you need to ask yourself, if you have one “move,” and you use it all the time, doesn’t that make you a bad actor? Now he’s being positioned for bigger, more iconic roles, and the pressure is real. If he’s playing young Sherlock, we need more than jawline tension and “emo” vibes.

Awkwafina

Awkwafina has two modes: actual acting and “loud comedic sidekick.” When she’s great, she’s genuinely fun. When she’s not, the “funny” feels forced, like she’s the embodiment of the “laugh track.” Can she do more than silly quips and out-of-pocket comments? Probably. Do Hollywood execs care enough to give her a solid try? Not really.
