Took the Bad Film Seriously

Edit Locked

Despite their best wishes, every performer who is not John Cazale will end up acting in at least one bad movie in their career. Explanation All five films Cazale appeared in during his short film career received an Academy Award Best Picture nomination, and three of them won. Some are wise enough to notice this going in, and decide to have fun while getting paid for it (lucky bastards). Not this guy though. They act with sincerity and conviction for an overproduced, over-hyped, and shoddily-written movie.

The reasons for this vary: they may have extreme professionalism in every role they take to keep their reputation, they could be desperate to prove something (either a young actor who’s still new or someone Playing Against Type desperate to show they’re able to play multiple parts), there was Executive Meddling afterwards that hurt the film, or they honestly couldn’t tell from ground level that the movie wasn’t True Art but a glorified B-Movie.

The net effect is very Narmlike, with audiences becoming amused that this guy is putting so much effort into a flat role for a dud movie. This makes the actor/character stand out and seem out of place: they aren’t like the other bad actors on set with their dull detachment, but they aren’t hamming it up either. They may even seem to be overacting by comparison because they’re the only ones really acting. If enough of the cast do it, the movie itself may become So Bad, It’s Good as it crosses the threshold from bad to surreal with actors giving Oscar grade performances for a throwaway summer Action Movie. On the other hand, this trope can very occasionally make the movie worth watching solely for the actor’s performance, if it is good enough. They might even rescue the film from being So Bad, It’s Horrible.

Contrast Ham and Cheese, which features a Large Ham in a badly-received work, whereas this trope involves a serious performance in a work with the same reception.
