Current Talk '05 I / Re: Most Talented, Least Talented

Most talented? Way too many to narrow it down to just one. Nancy Barrett and Thayer David managed to make every one of their characters so different from each other - and that's no mean feat (just look at how similar most of RD's characters are ) Jonathan Frid and David Selby always imparted the immense complexities in Barnabas and the various Quentins. Lara Parker and Diana Millay were amazing as Angelique and Laura. Louis Edmonds was a hoot in every role he played. Joan Bennett always gave a quiet dignity to all her roles. And those are just a handful - I could go on and on.
As for least talented? That's easy for me - it's Geoffrey Scott. Almost without exception, Sky's scenes are excruciating to watch. One can only wonder how much more interesting Sky might have been in the hands of a really skilled actor. Hell - one can only wonder how much more interesting Sky might have been in the hands of a barely competent actor!
