Oh, Luciaphil, you hit the nail right on the head! Pennock has some mighty good scenes in his other characters [spoiler]even though I hated the PT1970 Jekyll and Hyde schtick[/spoiler]
Davis wins hands down. Pennock had several extraordinarily good scenes over time on the show. Plus I thought he was damn sexy, while Davis is simply ... nauseating.
But RD and CP seem like Oliviers next to the ghastly non-acting by whoever played Sky Rumson. Now, that is BAAAD!!! [puke]
Geoffrey Scott is in a class all by himself. His acting is legendarily bad! Just ask the editors of Soap Opera Digest. [wink2] I've never seen them say as harsh things about anyone else as they have about Scott. And in an industry that's often criticized for hiring based on looks rather than talent, singling Scott out as the worst among the worse is really saying something. [lghy]
The thing is though, he's only on DS for a relatively short period of time. RD just kept coming back again and again.
I know he had been on other shows, such as Alias,Smith and Jones for awhile, but I never watched this so i can't comment on if his acting did improve later on with time.

As hard as it might be to imagine for anyone who's only seen him on DS, RD is quite good in almost everything else he's ever done, both prior to and after DS. It certainly makes one wonder what sort of influences affected his work on DS so badly. ::) (Maybe it's the fact that in almost every other recorded environment actors often have the opportunity to do retakes until they get it right? ;) And then there's always the miracle of editing, which can frequently do wonders, making even a bad actor look good by piecing together only the best moments of each attempted performance. [wink2])
i quite agree MB and have to add in thinking about this feel CP is worse i liked Alias!i hated Yeager more than Jeb if that is possible feel he overacted big time !!so go aheadlololol.....BEFORE I read this, I had cured you honey...wish I could again...cause I [size=12]HATE[/size] loathe, abhor, detest...guess you could say I just don't like CYRUS/JEKYLL/HYDE...that (okay, tying with Adam) is

I've never seen Alias S&J, but on Twightlight Zone, younger, ergo 'cuter', but still somewhat obnoxious.
