Who is the best actor of Giantbomb?

Hope I didn't miss anyone! I really enjoyed the GOTY segments, especially last ones. I also hope there isn't already a thread on this, I didn't see when I looked.

I could have used more Vinny.

Brad is the worst. You can feel that he is constantly aware of the camera. Jeff and Ryan don't suffer from this. The others do, but to a lesser extent than Brad. Dave maybe not, but still not as good as Ryan or Jeff.

Vinny was surprisingly good. His coolness overcomes his camera awareness.

It's a close one between Ryan and Jeff but I'll give the slight edge to Ryan.

They all seemed to be a little better at acting different parts. Like Jeff was right at home acting like a rapper. Ryan looked completely natural in the office parody. Brad did the 60 mins. bit really well. They all did a fantastic job on the cop show acting wise.

I don't really feel like the others really had enough lines to say all that much about them.

Duuude but Brad had the most difficult characters! Jeff's were always over the top and he does that pretty good irl so no contest there obviously but I thought Brad did a great job anyways.

He does good when the character he is playing is talking to the camera, not so much when he's supposed to be ignoring the camera. His expression (slight smirk) screams "I'm on TV!"

"YOU'RE MY NIGHTMARE!"

Are you sure that was acting? :o

Yeah I guess. I just like to cut him some slack because he did some of my favorite characters. His face at the end of COPS was priceless.

Jeff, obviously.

Ryan sold the hell out of being a cop.

Ryan was pretty great overall.

I still think Brad needs some practice before he can constantly hit it out of the park, but over all he did the most impressive job, tackling the widest array of characters and generally giving a solid performance.

Ryan is the best. He has a versatile repertoire of characters and he sells everything well. Jeff is second place because he is so obviously comfortable with fucking around on camera, but he isn't as good of an actor.

The rest have this awkward aura around them, but that is just something that goes away with time and experience, so it doesn't really bother me. I think everyone sold their roles well. Extra props to Brad, seemed like he went all in this time.

I think everyone did far better than expected but Ryan seemed so natural in all his roles

Brad is definitely the worst, but I still love him. He did alright during the 60 Minutes type one, but he was pretty bad in collectshun. Jeff was the best, followed by Ryan.

Ryan did a great job, especially in Roomies and Collectshun

Brad and Patrick were pretty terrible - and not in a Van Damme-awesome kind of way, but Jeff showed some true method acting chops. He just seemed so committed to each role.

Gotta give props to all of them but Brad to me had the highest degree of difficulty. The 60 minutes one was really good.

They were all great, but I have to go with Jeff on this one.

clearly Jeff... given, he probably had the best characters for each one

He was the best part of all the skits except maybe the ROOMIES one (but that was my least favorite). Though, I cracked up when Patrick used his skating shoes.

Brad did a slam dunk on everything except for the majority of Roomies, but Ryan sold all of his roles.

Therefore, Ryan wins. The rest were either as bad/awesome as expected or were just playing themselves/easy 'extreme' roles.

Ryan was a very convincing police officer from what I saw.

I COULD FEEL JEFF'S RAGE, THROUGH HIS EYES.

I felt like Patrick did pretty well.

Jeff, definitely. He's got the most experience in front of a camera.

I thought Brad did really well. I think Jeff does so many different, over the top characters and nails them all. Ryan does really good dead panning. Hell Vinny, Patrick, etc. were all fantastic.

Ryan. Everybody that says otherwise is wrong, stupid and has a brain worms.

YOU'RE MY NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the Oscar for best actor goes to: Jefferson Gertzmann

CHEM TRAILS!!!!!

Jeff. Those last two GOTY skits. Daaaamn, that was funny shit.

I think Brad did good this year. Especially considering how jittery he says he gets at panels in front of an audience and even during QLs.

Jeff and Ryan were genuinely great actors, Brad and Patrick hit the kind of "so bad they're amazing" spot, but I just laughed my ass off whenever Vinnie had a line of dialogue. My vote goes to the italian stallion.

Snider. Takes a lot to wear a tank-top like that.

Patrick and Jeff. They both seemed most natural in it. They all did well, though. These were some great vids

I actually liked Brad most. Patrick was fun too. Jeff and Ryan were just being themselves, which was awesome enough. But Vinny was just STAAALLEEEEE in both videos he was in.

Drew Scanlon gave a best-supporting actor worthy performance as a guy who gets shot. LOOK AT HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS! LOOK AT THEM.

Brad.

Jeff was being Jeff and Ryan was kind of overdoing it.

I actually thought Patrick was pretty great. He really nailed some of his scenes.

"They told me I could be the alien" killed.

Dave Snyder was a really good perp in Cop Show.

Ryan actually watches a lot of TV so is more aware of the specific acting required. Though Jeff was no slouch either.

I think Brad did an outstanding job as 60 Minutes dude.

I feel like Dave didn't get that many votes since that was not acting, that was real life...

Jeff and Ryan were pretty great, especially Jeff as the hoarder and Ryan as the police officer.

i really dont agree with you. ryans lines allways sounds forced.

i personally though that brad was great in day 1,3 and 4 and fantastic in day 2. day 5 not so much.

Patrick was fantastic in day 1 and 2, great in 3 and fairly bad in 4 and 5

vinny was fine in all his roles but then again im a huge vinny fanboy so take that with a grain of salt though day 5 was not that great. still love his role last year more.

jeff was great in all but day 5 that on was only fairly decent.

ryan was fantastic in day 1 but the rest was a fairly decent due to what i have allready explained. but really its my only gripe

dave and drew really diddent do much but i still really liked em

but with all that being said. this year's version was awesome

Ryan is the best actor, but Jeff had the best characters fitted to his personal style and personality..
