View Full Version : Anyone else think: Sams acting.
...that Sam can't act for sh*t?
I quit playing the video halfway through because I found his overracting and voice just damn near TOO annoying. Lol. My advice to Sam (actor playing him): You're not going to win an Oscar...relax a little.
:cool::):cool:

He's doing an O.K job considering they were never going to get a Hollywood A-star to read the part and that he's probably not getting paid very much. I'm much more pissed at the shamefull acting of Keile and Rodrigo who were actually on the show. I had to watch Expose with my teeth clenched, wincing. The deleted scene with Nikki in on the DVD were just too funny to watch as Keile over uses her one facial expression.

Kiele's acting didn't bother me. I liked the character and actress.
Sam bugs me. I'm not sure if it's the acting or just the script. The whole ring anvil thing is too much. We get it. You were about to propose. Move along.

I think he's OK, and I think it works because he's supposed to be playing a regular guy who's upset and obviously zealous about his search/conspiracy theories. Hahaha I really didn't like his 'mum' and her voicemail message, because I thought it made her sound really stupid and not concerned. But it wasn't THAT bad.
I have to say that I thought Kiele Sanchez was worse. Every time she said "Pall-oh!" (that's how she said it) in that nasally little voice and pushed out her boobies I just prayed that they would die. Which they did. Thank God.

Just an FYI that the actor is Rodger Corser.

Sam is doing OK I think...
Sam's mom sounded way too scripted... but I guess that was because of the quality of the audio - they wanted us to hear it so she talked slowly. My mom certainly does not talk that way LOL
Paolo bothered me... I have no idea what Nikki saw in him.
I miss Nikki... great eye candy :D

I think Sam's acting is fine. Let's not nitpick here. There v-mail sounded as good as any video game to me.
Paulo is a fairly accomplished actor...I think he was fine as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Razzle-Dazzle's career is over...

I too think Rodger Corser is doing a great job acting as Sam. He's very natural.

Natural is he's supposed to be a heavy-breathing, whiny child. Lol. His only advantage is that his parents knew the proper spelling of RODGER.

I think its pretty sad they knew each other for 8 years and hes just not getting around to proposing. I bet he hadn't even thought of it til the 815 crash...

His frequent use of the mid-sentence pause reminds me a bit of Shatner playing Kirk. ;)
Cute guy, though, with really expressive eyes. Anyone else wonder if one of the reasons he was picked was due to a faint resemblance to Fox?

Above me is the fuinniest signagture ever. Kudos.
I could see the Shatner connection...I did always think he was fun to watch, nonetheless.

Haha I like the Shatner thing. He may not be quite as bad as good ol' Billy Shatner, but if he were, I like to think that he'd sound something like this...
(Staring disconcertedly into the camera for his next video diary.)
If only... (eyes dart back and forth) ... I had... (pauses, covers his mouth with his hand and looks away, then back to the camera) ... proposed... (sighs, then speaks very fast) ... to my partner Sonya! (scratches his head) Why... (jingles his keys) ...didn't... (bites his lip with overdrama) ... I propose?
Haha perhaps on the plane back to Sydney he can look out the window and scream, :eek:"THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE WING!"

See, I like Jacks character in LOST, but often find him cheesy. Im not even sure I really like him, but there is something there I know I like. Im finding this with Sam... I like him because I know hes trying to do the rigt thing, but at the same time his acting comes off a little to.. powerful I guess.
I compare Sam to Jack actually in terms of character and acting. Hes willing to jump infront of news cameras and run across the world to catch a boat etc, he says very Jack-esque things, and doesnt worry about consequences. Jack 2.0 lol.

I like Sam, I've definately seen worse actors.
Plus he's kinda cute.

I was picturing Jim Carrey doing Kirk in Pet Detective - "Captains Log... Stardate 32.7... rounded to the nearest... decimal point...." (with a re-pose at each pause). :D
Yeah, mac, I see the Jack 2.0, too. Totally. I'm sure that was their aim. I find Fox to be a bit of an overacter for my tastes, too, though. Sam really has some sappy script to work with, too.
