He is the worst actor ever….

I am defintiely not a Riley fan. Okay, it's true that I disliked him at the start of Season Four because he wasn't Angel (and cos of his hair cut) but he grew a little on me until episode three of Season Five, 'The Replacement'. Why would he dump something like that on Xander? After that, he went way downhill and his reappearance in 'As You Were' in Season Six was just annoying. Now I look back on him fondly has a silling sod who really didn't mean to do anything wrong but was quite stupid and helped Spuffy develop properly. He also showed how good other relationships on the show were (Xander/Anya) so I do not hate him in the least. But none of that really has anything to do with Marc Blucas. I've seen him in other movies and he's fine. I can't comment on him as a person, but in interviews he seems nice enough.

I don't know Marc very well, but I was a senior in high school when he was a freshman, and ran into him at a wedding last year. He was very nice, and yes, intelligent. I asked him for an autograph for my niece, although it was a little embarassing, and he was very gracious about it. I'll be rooting for him to show all those Riley haters what Marc can do with a juicy role!

Well everyone is intitled to have an opinion, but I think it's pretty lame to start a topic just to put someone down. Especially since Marc seems to be such a nice and intelligent guy. He certainly doesn't deserve this. Maybe I could have accepted it, if you had started a thread on the "Actors/actresses" board, asking which actors people think are good or bad and had some good arguments to back your opinion up, but this is just stupid. And judging from your name and your resent posts, I assume you're a fan of Arnold and Keanu. And if my assumption is right, it gets even harder if not to say impossible for me to take your "worst actor ever" statement seriously, 'cause I wouldn't exactly put either of those two guys in the "brilliant actor category".

well i guess each to his/her own, and ur entitled 2 ur own opinion
but do u HAVE 2 bag riley?
Xander: Hey, Riley! What's the (imitates Riley's hand signal) all about?
Riley: It means yell real loud so the vampires who don't know we're coming will have a sporting chance.
Xander (to Willow): See now he's all mad and sarcastic. -

I never watched Buffy while it was running prime time. It wasn't until I saw Marc in First Daughter that I became interested in what else he had done. I became a fan of Buffy because of him. I loved the character of Rileyand later when I watched Buffy from season one, I loved the character of Angel, too. I really hated the way Riley's character was written off the show, but I think Joss Whedon knew what he was doing for the overall good of the show and continuing the storylines. Marc wanted to pursue other opportunities anywayand I think he's done quite well. I think he's great.

Marc Blucas is a great actor. Just because he ruined one show for you it was nothing. I liked him playing Riley during the fourth season. And remember, he's not the one that writes the script. Joss does and some other people. And he's good in other movies!
Buffy: You know me, not much with the damseling. -

Yeah I don't like him in Buffy. He was too Tall and some of the motions he made were awkward and strained. He seemed cold while acting like in "Out of my mind" and Sarah/Buffy is crying and telling him how much he means to her in that cavern and you could feel the emotion behind Sarah's acting and he was all Fridget and cold (Yes I know that he was suppose to feel a little detached and reserved).And another thing is his arms are so long, it bothered me when he moved. Honestly though I have nothing against him!

He isn't too bad. I just think that he wasn't a very good choice to play Buffy's boyfriend. There was no spark there. But I really don't think there was suppose to be. I just felt that Buffy was dating Riley because she was still hurting from Angel. I think she used him. I believe that she loved him but she wasn't in love with him. People might tell me I'm wrong but that is the way I feel.
But it was the character Riley that I hated and not the actor who played him.
It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.-

I have to say, though:
I worked with him on The Killing Floor and he is the absolute NICEST guy you would ever meet in Hollywood. There is absolutely no condescension from him whatsoever. A lot of actors I have worked with have this passive aggresive sense of entitlement, and he lacks that completely. Give it up for the nice guy.
