I don't understand where people are coming from or why they think he's a bad actor. He's NOT! He's my favorite actor & very, very good! I'd like to see you act 1/2 as good as him. he's amazing. AND he also studies the character in ways other actors don't. Besides being professional, he is very laid back and down to earth. A nice guy that deserves a LOT more respect. smh at judgemental jealous people.
@EyeoftheWhiteWolf That comment proves that you know absolutely nothing about acting. Just look at this audition, he's terrible and still acts the same. I've seen better acting in school plays, and that's not an exaggeration btw!
@MrSpaceRaptor That's funny because you're sitting here hating on him for no reason (other than the fact that you don't have a life) while he's traveling the world, making millions, ACTING in dozens of movies...so whatever. lol
@EyeoftheWhiteWolf He may be making millions, but he isn't respected for his acting, which is far more important. Oh and there's the old 'you have no life' argument. Haha is that all you can come up with? Typical fangirl/boy response, you are the one who needs a life, honey.
Funny thing is, I wasn't planning on hating on him or anything, I got here because of that "Keanu Reeves school of Acting video" which I found hilarious. I saw this video, thought he sucked, then read your comment and laughed my ass off!
@Jcolinsol Also, he's a nice guy (or at least comes across that way) and has been through a lot of shit in his life with his wife miscarrying then killing herself while pregnant. At no point has he tried to exploit this and has just gone about his career. I don't even think he's that bad an actor, he just has his limitations. He's certainly much better than Ashton Kutcher - he's like Olivier compared to Kutcher.
@LoafOfPint I'm pretty sure it was just his girlfriend (not wife) & she died in a car accident a few years after the miscarriage. Not that it makes things better...just sayin'.
@pstchaseki Hey what about Parenthood? That's probably the closest he's ever had to a convincing dramatic role, and in all honesty wasn't too bad. Plus he delivered the line "We can record our love" funnier than it was probably intended.
Keanu is a fine actor within the bounds of what he is doing and is actually one of the most subtly passionate actors in modern day cinema. Look at Dicaprio -an actor who plays extremely similar characters film to film. Reeves is more adaptable. His approach is different yes, more passive, more Zen like. Its all different colours..
this was a time when people had to work to get to greatness... unlike JUSTIN BEAVER... dont care if thats a mispelling and i know hes a singer and it has differences to the actual auditioning for acting.. but who cares
@Ioganstone Depp only has Wierdo. But I will give you Will Smith. However almost all of Depp's characters act the same. Will did great Comedy, great Drama, great man suffering as last man in the world and such.
@Darkstar321 Depp can do a lot more than just "Weirdo". True, many of his roles have had an eccentric side to them, but there are others he's done which have required more subtlety. Either way, I find him to be one of the most versatile actors out there. Smith is great too. Btw, yes, I also like Reeves
@JaysPlace20 The people who think that clearly haven`t seen " Bill and Ted`s Excellent Adventure " , " Speed " , " Devil`s Advocate " ," Street Kings " , " Little Buddha " or his independent films !
@1993MovieMan Oddly enough, the only one of those films which I have seen is "Speed". Regardless, he's had a very successful career, and I wish him well on his future endeavors
@greensucksbluerules It's K.C. Reeves not Casey. When Keanu came to Hollywood he was held to change his name, because his name seemed to ethnic, so Keanu choose his initials, he is named Keanu Charles Reeves.
Mmmhmm, cause only the greatest cocksuckers try and save their sister from dying of leukemia by donating to charity regularly or buying Harley Davidsons for their friends who didn't receive the same paycheck as him.
@Carnage1235 as an actor, he's a cocksucker, he's a shitty actor (in my opinion). Were you shaking and teary eyed when you typed that out? Calm down, I'm not saying he's a terrible person. When Shaq misses a free throw I don't say like "damn he sucks cock, I bet he's a terrible person to his family and is a selfish prick and doesn't buy his friends stuff." He's probably a nice guy, but he's a shitty actor in my opinion.
Not every person has a face or voice full of emotion. So you can't really say he is a bad actor for that. It all depends on the character he is trying to portray.
