Justin Timberlake is a very good actor

Just saw half of a film he did and I have to say he was surprisingly good. Definitely one of the best pop star-actors I've seen. If only he'd retire his dorky ass out of music and concentrate on films. Oh well, we can dream...

He was really good in the film Alpha Dog. I don't think he got enough credit for his role.

Yes. Especially when he acts like he's Michael Jackson.

I know he gets loads of shit from people on here, but whenever I've seen him on SNL he seems to be really enjoying himself and his life. Kudo's for him.

while he maybe a good actor he has zero screen presence or charisma...he actually comes off rather bland on the big screen which doesn't bode well for his acting career unless he becomes a character actor which would mean a career of playing second banana to the leading man. would a pop star do that? and would he actually take an acting class to become a true actor? who knows and who cares.

I don't know about his acting. Love Guru anybody? However, he's good at hosting those award shows and he can still carry a pop tune. So as long as he stays away from all things Jackson (Michael and Janet) he's set.

Timberlake should stick to either tv presenting or to his B movies.
How this asshole is elevated to such a status is mindboggling.

His singing is nasally, whiny and his high notes are embarrasing.

He's also a serial bandwagon leecher.

First when he was 10 years old, he sang Country music on star search or whatever the fuck its called. He sang on the Mickey Mouse club too.

Then he did manufactured pop with N Shit.

After leeching that genre, he decided to leech R&B by first using Pharrel to legitimise his crappy attempt at becoming a "serious" artists.

He then leeched Timbaland for his next album, realising he needed someone new to leech onto.

He first claimed Michael Jackson was his big influence, then he shifted on to Prince, then he shifted on to Marvin Gaye, and god knows who else he now decides is his "influence". The only influence I see in this guy is a leech.

Then he decided to become an actor, even though he has no acting talent.

And now he suddenly decided to become a "producer".

This jerk ass is a disgrace to both music and acting.
The majority of his music is forgettable garbage. And his penis nosed face reminds me of Owen Wilson. At least Owen Wilson is a talented penis nosed actor, but Timberfake is a hanger on, a leecher, who can't create anything good,
he has to steal and leech from others.

He was pretty good in Black Snake Moan. Didn't like him much in Love Guru though.

I can't stand him either, but I've gotta keep it real. I only saw half of the film, but he was good in what I saw. He even managed to overcome the handicap of that whiny voice. No small feat in itself.

Yes a very good ACTOR..he is as fake as they come, and he does a good job faking who he really is by playing other people so it fits together well nod ...he been fake his whole solo career.

Now I admit his albums are good, but they are good BECAUSE of Pharell & Timbaland...seeing him live it seems like he's trying too hard to be serious or fighting to show his real self over his fake self. I just don't believe him when he sings or acts. It just seems contrived of personalities he came along with because he may not have one.

All true, but there are some huge org favourites that you could say exactly the same thing about.

WHAT HE SAID.

Fuck, thank you.

Timberlake is the most overrated motherfucker out there. The guy needs a punch in the face, not record deals and acting gigs.

And don't even get me started on the rumours about just how far he was willing to go for a certain ex-manager to get where he's at. confused

You both seriously never heard of this before? I've been hearing this rumour for years, I just assumed it was widely known. eek

Do a Google search on one Pearlman, Louis J., if you've never heard of him. He was the manager/driving force behind a bulk of the groups in the late 90's/early 2000's boyband boom. Besides being an out and out scheister bilking his acts and several investors out of ridiculously huge sums of money, he's also a pedophile with a soft spot for his, well, boys and was known to offer boosts to the guy's careers if they'd be willing to service him. He's in jail on a lengthy sentence these days, but at one point he did hold a fair amount of sway in the pop business. There's been rumours flying around since even during the *N SYNC days that Timberlake's starring role in the group and subsequent unprecedented rise out of boybandia had more to do with favours traded than talent or luck.

[color=indigo]Justin was good in Alpha Dog, SNL is awesome. His music tends to

be lacking depth and the hooks are boring, but the bass is cool. However, I

always liked Prince in UTCM. If he worked on it, Prince could be really good,

especially in serious parts. I'm still waiting 4 his nest movie. lol cool
