Nice to look at, NOT a good actor


While CMM makes real pretty scenery, he's just not a great actor. I can see why gets the roles he does, as the popular but out of place deep thinker - he broods magnificently - he needs to work on his acting skills. GO get some good solid training, Chad, and put that with your blessed genetics - and you might last a while longer on the TV/Movie scene.

you know what..with a risk to disappoint you girls really don't need GREAT acting skills to enjoy. CMM is WONDERFUL do look at and quite frankly I don't need much more ... put him in a p0rn movie with ZERO acting skills and I'll be ok...yeah we are like guys we can get off just by the looks and CMM is effin gorgeous so we really don't need a plot

He may not be the best actor in the entire world but I think he's decent.

He definitely has improved with his emotional scenes though. Compare his crying scene in s3 (the one where he tells karen he has hcm) with 6x17/6x24. You can tell he's been working on it.

^lol agree dainty-1

Wait... are you acting? I would love to see your acting reel or something you've acted in if you're so big that YOU can say stuff like "he needs to work on his acting skills".

I completely agree with the you, and to the person before me, are you implying that ONLY actors can distinguish good acting from bad acting? If so, please rethink your reasoning. CMM always has this smoldering thing going on and it really hinders his acting abilities...but at least he can fall back on his looks ;-)

I came to this board to post the exact same thing, but you beat me to it...

I've seen a majority of the things he's been in, and I can agree mostly with it. However I do [or did] enjoy his acting in One Tree Hill.

You're not that smart, are you?
