Speaking of bad acting. Have to agree that there are lots of people with mediocre or missing talent somehow getting roles.
I might be spoiled by all the superbly talented actors. (Just enjoyed Good Omens season 2 and am in the middle of Foundation season 2 -- they have Jared Harris and Lee Pace).![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
For example, I was unable to watch Manifest on Netflix (the premise sounded interesting and some people I know recommended it). It was so awful -- the dialogue was horrible but the acting even worse, over the top hammy, grimaces a la Joey Tribiani "smelling-the-farts acting", it was so cringe I wondered how is anyone able to watch it at all.
But the point is that even talentless actors can find jobs when they are agreeable and professional. And often a talented actor might miss out on opportunities when they are seen as problematic (even by proxy: I am sure Ioan missed out on many good roles due to having this sack of crazy tied to him).
