<p dir="auto">Ben Kingsley is one of the great acting talents of our time, however he very consistently appears in terrible movies. There's no way this is a mistake, he has to pick these scripts on purpose because he's far and away the most talented actor in every one of those films.<br />
So, that said, is Ben Kingsley the best actor ever to be in so many bad movies??</p>

<p dir="auto">For me i have to say Malcolm Mcdowell. His acting in C111clockwork Orange is one of the best film performances, but with the exception of If and Caligula (a film i really didn't like myself) i think nearly all the other films he was in are rubbish.<br />
A great actor, who deserved to have more good rolls than he got.<br />

<p dir="auto">Michael Madsen deserves a mention here. Back in the 90's, he had the ability to be a great actor and pick good projects, but ever since his bankruptcy, he takes whatever project he can find, which is usually awful.</p>

<p dir="auto">For sure. But I also think another one of those great actors in terrible films is John Lithgow who is absolutely amazing even in the worst schlock. Gary Oldman does this spectacularly as well. Andreas Katsulas and Peter Jurasik too.</p>

<p dir="auto">I think he just enjoys acting and doesn't really make a big fuzz about if it's a major hollywood movie or one on the low-budge. I remember what Danny Trejo said in an interview once (I know he's not on the same level as Kingsley, but he's still a big name), he said that he takes roles in low budget movies because they are often more fun to play in and he gets to control more of the character at the same time while helping the directior with a big name.</p>

<p dir="auto">The man was in a UWE BOLL MOVIE.  That's where actors go to die.  And now he's back in the "A team" of top actors in a marvel film.  Unbelieveable.    I love the guy but I don't get why he agreed to star in some stinkers like Thunderbirds, a sound of thunder, the love guru, bloodrayne.</p>

<p dir="auto">I thought of Kinski too He said himself he just took the jobs that paid best. I think those bad movies also gave him a chance to stand out for his acting, to be the best without fear of competition. He was such an egomaniac, but entertaining at that</p>

<p dir="auto">Film that looks great in the synopsis can turn out to be a turkey after the producers get through with it.  When an actor signs up he is taking a gamble it will succeed.  Actors cannot live on love and fresh air, they have to earn money to pay their bills like everybody else.</p>

<p dir="auto">Klaus Kinski was a truly amazing actor that starred in many great films but the majority of his career was spent acting in some unfathomably awful movies. Some of Kinski's films are so bad they are not even listed on IMDB!</p>

<p dir="auto">In a way I have to agree with you, Day-Lewis is still a great actor though, but EVEN b68someone as professional as Daniel Day-Lewis can't hold a candle to Ben Kingsley's subtlety, not to mention when Kingsley gets ruthless he's pretty much as ruthless as Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood.  But in terms of acting range, they're both equally phenomenal, as is Anthony Hopkins, it's just DDL picks more of the better projects these days.  But Gandhi and Schindler's List will still always be among 2 of my favorite films of all time.</p>

<p dir="auto">Day Lewis is an overacting hack. Kingsley's subtle but effective work in Schindler's List and Gandhi is better than anything Day Lewis has ever done. Just because he only works every 3 to 5 years and then goes mad on screen does not mean he's the best actor of all time.</p>
