Malin Akerman
Good grief, what a terrible actress. She basically ruined Watchmen and is completely outclassed by every other one of the central actors on this show.

Agree, she's the weak spot in a great cast.
shareI always find it interesting when I look at a performers IMDB page, and it seems the good ones are in a bunch of shows that I've seen, and the "lesser ones," to be polite, are in a whole series of shows that I haven't seen (for her, a few unmemorable bit parts in movies I saw 10 or more years ago). I do know that a lot of people become genre cast, where they are always in cop shows, sci-fi shows, or family dramas, most likely because the people involved in making those shows only watch whatever is in their genre. But then you have someone like Costabile who had some minor, but significant roles in the past which elevated him to the A-list and he will likely stay there for awhile. As Detective Rick Messer on Damages he was both unrecognizable and brilliant.

She's one of the reason i'm watching the show only her and Giammati have done anything good in their career
share?? Siff has already done 2 exellent shows(Mad men, SOA) and Lewis has done some great work
shareHomeland and Band of Brothers much?
shareI am not sure where the OP went to acting school or whether he did an internship at the Actors Studio or what but he seems to have a lot of opinions about who is or is not a good actor. Malin Akerman is playing a part that was written for her. She is not creating the part, she is reading and acting out the lines she is given. I wish you would give some specifics on what you find so objectionable. I find her to be playing a very balanced but nuanced character, the perfect foil for her high maintenance husband.
Have you ever seen the program, Ray Donovan? Abby, Ray's wife on that program is a nightmare. Her husband will be out there slaying fictious dragons and bringing home tons of money so she can live in a nice house in Calabasas California; and she gives him hell every single day. She is needy and jealous with no clue what her husband goes thru on a daily basis
Malin Akerman is the exact opposite. She shows that you don't have to nag and berate your husband to have a good marriage. She has Bobby's back in every situation and he doesn't even always know what she is up to. They are really the perfect pair, with the same background, the same drive, and the same cunning ability to play the game to hilt.

Opinions are pretty much the whole point of the IMDB message boards, and in my opinion the OP's opinion is spot on. Malin Ackerman has always been nice to look at but she can't act her way out of a paper bag. Every line she delivers sounds exactly the same...and that applies across projects.

Never heard of her, I don't think she has done anything that would be recognised in the UK.
