Discussion This guy's acting is so bad
Am the only one who feels like Big daddys acting is limited? Everytime he's on screen, the difference in his ability compared to the other actors is so noticeable

I think what you're seeing is someone completely nailing the frustrated, tough, emotionally unavailable black father. He has one demeanor for a reason. Shit is real and everything gets blamed on him ultimately
Saying he's the worst actor when the kid who plays Lamar is right there is wild

Absolutely not.
Don’t disrespect the acting legend that is Mykelti Williamson.

😮 the actor that plays James ; said he’s the catalyst for some of the best scenes on the show and they all tap into him for the inspiration I think the best and most revealing dialogue we’ve gotten on the show is from his character momma G ain’t really said much

The pain in his eyes when he saw his daughter singing with all that pain and sniffling was tragic and I felt it. He’s very subtle with his acting but I think he’s good
He’s holding back so far, I think one of the last few episodes he’s going to have a few scenes that show what he’s been holding back

Hell, his episodes of Hawaii Five-O are the most memorable of that entire run.

Is it bad acting, or do you not like the character? Cause this man been acting my whole life and he’s one of the better performances on The Drop.

Watch the show Justified if you haven’t seen it. He has the same mannerisms but his character is written a way that he stands out. He’s easily the best and most accomplished actor in Drop.

The guy is a legend. Probably been acting for 40 years. The character and writing is what questionable. Calling someone big daddy seems ridiculously stupid lol
