Nick Cage CAN act...he just doesn't do it much these days. He was good in Leaving Las Vegas and won the oscar for it. When I saw him in Adaptation I remembered why I used to like him. However, this action figure role he appears to want to take has made him lazy or something and he just drones his way through a role.
Also, Tom Cruise can act. He isn't a great actor but he is a good actor (watch that 'you can't handle the truth' scene in A Few Good Men and see the difference been Cruise as a good actor and Jack as a GREAT actor illustrated perfectly). His cult driven insanity surely qualifies him as one of the most annoying actors in Hollywood but he can act and isn't the worst.
Even Afleck has had odd moments where he nearly showed talent (usually when Kevin Smith has bullied him into it). Though I love it when they bill him on a film as 'Oscar Winner, Ben Afleck'. All I can do is restrain myself from yelling at the screen 'yes but NOT for acting!'.
