Just sniffing around the web, and came across Wikipedia's entry fof the old time actor Alan Ladd. And it states 'Famous for his emonionless demeanor, and his small stature', that is about worst start description of an actor ever, heard any worse?..........Was he famous for that?..........Not a great one, but not a bad actor in my books.

He was a pretty bad actor as I recall.

He was OK in 'This Gun for Hire' & 'Shane',as i recall, true, while not the greatest actor around, but was he as bad as Wikipedia says in their preamble?

I've only seen him in Shane, and I was amazed that such a weedy looking guy could ever have been cast as a western hero. Although it gave the character a certain washed up, pathetic quality which was important in that movie. He was OK, I thought. Did the 'man's gotta do what a man's gotta do' speech pretty well, and he's got a good voice. Western actors aren't known for their brilliance in general, are they? Didn't they all deliberately underplay, so as to get the Westerner's monosyllabic terseness across? I've always got the impression those guys nobly sacrificed "acting" for a weird kind of naturalist non-acting. Or maybe they were just shit.
