Does anyone else want to bust out laughing every time they show Eric with that smiley smirk on his face in his "coma"?

Sorry folks, but I think that John McCook is one of the worst actors that daytime TV has ever seen. It's really evident whenever he's in a scene with
Susan Flannery, who gives an Emmy-winning performance even when she's sitting on the couch drinking a cup of coffee.
John McCook's ineptness as an actor has ruined many a high-powered scene for me. His facial expressions are laughable and sometimes detract from the seriousness of the scene he's in. Ditto his mannerisms. I'm hoping that Eric actually dies but I don't think we can get that lucky.

Oh yeah - I like that coma smirk. Now if we can just get him smirking in his casket...
He really is the WORST actor I've ever seen. Add on top of that his unfortunate resemblence to Daffy Duck and you have to wonder HOW in the world did that man become a romantic soap opera star? But I for one really do want to see DR. Bridget on the job here. Let's pray she kills him off before he wakes up. |

...smirking in his casket!
We need a little emoticon that shows someone dancing on a grave because that's what I would do when Eric Forreshter kicksh the bucket. He is indeed the worst actor in daytime, or anytime. Do you guys remember when he was that cardboard cutout of a man, Lance Prentiss, on Y&R opposite Jaime Lyn Bauer? He was horrible then as well. I was astounded when he was hired for B&B! Have you ever seen him on Soapnet? He is SOOOOO FULL OF HIMSELF TOO! And he has NOTHING to be full about! He must have pulled a Rosemary's Baby and sold his first born to Satan for an acting career because that is the only way it can be explained that he is a working actor! I am forevermore repulsed by his stupid mannerisms and goofed up vapid looks. Like the other day when Ridge was telling him it's time for Ridge to have what his father has promised him since he was a little boy, he just gives this blank mixed with puzzled stare, like "I'm not following you." And the thing that I HATE THE MOST when he acts is how he waits a second or two when he punctuates a sentence with the persons name. Such as: "I'm very disappointed in you... Ridge." "I will not put up with you disrespecting my wife... Ridge." "I've heard enough... Ridge." IT DRIVES ME CRAZzZzZY! God he's looking really ancient these days. I think the aging is making his mouth look more and more beaky as time goes on and it's really pronounced every time he's with Donna. I cringe when they kiss (as I'm sure does she as well)! |

I think John McCook gives that same line delivery that William Shatner used to when he portrayed Captain Kirk on Star Trek in th 60s. The difference is that
William Shatner has gotten much better and I friggin' LOVE him as Denny Crane on Boston Legal - he's great!

My mom and I always make fun of his eyebrows, mostly I do, because I think that they do most of the acting.

Hah! hah! I thought the same thing. I was thinking, doesn't he know he is supposed to be having a heart attack? He looks as though he is having a hard time not busting out laughing.

OMG< yes, I remember him as Lance Prentice. I am convinced like Ron Moss he got that part expressly for his looks and for no other reason. I am glad to see
so many agree with me that he is the worst actor of them all. Of course he and Ron Moss run neck and neck for me though. He's really bad as well.
I do want to bust out laughing every time I see him though. That's awful. Yesterday I watched and his scene with LK put me in hysterics, looking at that big ole smile on his face the whole time she was sobbing. lol Sue |

Peri, I hate that affected way he delivers his lines, too. I think Quacky McDuck learned that dramatic pause technique from whatever acting correspondence
course he took and FAILED.
IHeidi - maybe it was the William Shatner "Method" School - and you're right - Shatner is a national treasure. LOVE HIM!!! Yeah, I remember him as Lance Prentiss. I also remember thinking couldn't they find someone better looking than that stiff? He always had an effeminate thing going on that bothered me. Let's just say, I could never picture him grabbing up his leading lady, throwing her down on the bed and ravaging her. God knows I wouldn't WANT to picture it either. OBI - - His eyebrows do indeed do all the acting! Good call!
Maybe he did do a Rosemary's Baby deal with the devil, although I kinda see the witches' screening committee telling him "Sorry, but even Satan himself can't make people believe YOU can act." Or maybe that's the twisted part of the Devil's reward - he DID get to become an actor with lifelong exposure on TV, but with absolutely NO fans! Yeah, it all makes sense now... The part that is the most mind boggling about McCook is how he could work with Susan Flannery for decades and NONE of her great skill ever rubbed off on him. To me, he's just as bad an actor as he was the day B&B premiereed. |
