I think he's better when he's playing a character that's not the driving force of the plot. I thought TJ did a great job in the mist because his character was reacting to the story and not driving it. I do get a kick out of seeing him on "Hung", I think he comes across as authentic. (Not to mention hearing the coincidental Arrested Development line in nearly all "Hung" episodes of "I just want my kids back").
But you are right about his acting method, he seems to employ the "Keanu Reeves" method (only instead of being Keanu Reeves in every movie, he's being Tom Jane). Either way, I think he'll be able to hammer out enough work to stay relevant in Hollywood.
When I think of horrible acting these days, I'd have to go with either Eddie Murphy or "The Rock". -

I was allergic to Thomas Jane, especially in Deep Blue Sea and Under Suspicion. His acting in Under Suspicion was terrible. But I think hes okay in Killshot and now after I saw Hung, I believe his Golden Globe nomination is well deserved.

What? So if you start a post 1354on Thomas Jane's imdb page (where it's of course bound to be fans of TJ). Where you state that he is "Horrible, horrible, horrible, beyond horrible" and where you continue ripping on him for being "laughable and terrible" and then goes talking about his looks. You feel that's OK to write and non "provocative"? People are just supposed to sit back and enjoy your show?
You don't want to start arguments here you say, but you write some pretty snide remarks. I don't know TJ personally, but I've followed his career pretty close and see him as one of my fav actors out there. And by your choice of words for a topic, I was just automatically drawn into verifying my imdb account and ask you "what's up with your post?".
I hope I'm not by your eyes seen as a troll for 100% disagreeing with you. Because it seem's that's exactly what you're saying in your previous post. I should probably start my own thread with the title "Awesome, beyond awesome actor." And get all the TJ fans on my thread to discuss how "awesome" TJ is, and you'll be here with the TJ "haters" discussing how horrible he is.
But.. where's the fun in that? I love discussing films/actors with people. And although you made it clear that you think he is "horrible". I need to ask again, what do you classify as a great actor/actress?
And how many TJ flicks have you seen?

Sadly, Thomas Jane's last few films were mediocre. But he really can be a good actor. I've seen it. Maybe he's in a slump. Who knows. But he was excellent in 61*, Thursday, and other earlier films. maybe he's just not challenging himself lately.

It's one thing to have an opinion, but calling this actor "horrible", partly becauese you don't think he's good looking shows you are either very stupid and/or simply know nothing about acting, or again you probablty just saw him in ONE role you didnt like and you flame him for that either way you are obviously confusing things and your motives are meaningless. He's not the best, but he carries out his roles brilliantly, and he has a presence on screen, therefore he deserves the fame and should be put in more productions.
I wouldnt be surprised if you were one of those little 12 year old Ray Stevenson fanboy in hiding who actually liked the excuse for a movie called Punisher War Zone?

He was absolutely atrocious in the Mist and wooden in The Punisher. I thought he had no scope at all in Hollywood. But then I saw Stander, and man, was that a mesmerizing performance. Dark Country was pretty good as well.
