History LargeHam / Actors

* [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc NICE WORKIN' WITH YA!]]

** [[Westernanimation/MonstersInc Now put that thing back where it came from or so help me... Oh, hey. We're rehearsing a - a scene for the upcoming company play called uh, Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me. It's a musical.]]

* From ''Film/{{Alaska}}'': I want that [[GutturalGrowler BEAR!]]

* Starting with his breakout role in ''Film/HighFidelity'', Creator/JackBlack always plays the BigFun personified in any movie he gets, except for when he's the romantic lead (''Film/ShallowHal'' and ''Film/TheHoliday''). Even animated, as the ''Westernanimation/KungFuPanda'' trilogy can attest (along with a secondary but still hammy role in ''Westernanimation/IceAge''). Highlights include ''Film/SchoolOfRock'', as Black brings in all the ham of rock n'roll, and ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'', where he plays a teenage girl!

*** ...PATION!

* And he's the Lord Wizard in ''Literature/TheWorstWitch''. He even gets a very 1980s MTV-style [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUhuPn8_d0Q music video.]] That lasts ''ten'' minutes.

* [[WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}} They called me mad, insane,]] '''[[TheTriple WENDELL!]]'''

* The superhero hamminess came back with an interest in ''Film/BirdmanOrTheUnexpectedVirtueOfIgnorance''. Both [[AdamWesting the actor famous for a superhero]] and [[TalkingToThemself the superhero split personality]]. Not to mention [[spoiler: ''shooting himself in the face!'']]

---> "'''HE'S A TIGHTASS! HE'S A SADIST! HE'S AN ''ABSENTEE LANDLORD''!!''' WORSHIP THAT?! '''NEVER!'''"

* Let's not give Wrestling/DwayneJohnson, a.k.a. "The Rock" a free pass. From ''Film/TheRundown'' to ''Film/{{Doom}}'', hammy till the cows come home. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's pretty hilarious in every single case (the best being ''Film/BeCool'', specially his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQjEiXNuYik "acting showoff"]]).

-->Contemplate this... '''on the tree of woe.'''

* Creator/GeoffreyRush, [[http://thedissolve.com/news/4609-geoffrey-rush-goes-for-final-quarter-of-egot-by-st/ singled out]] by Creator/NathanRabin as a "shameless ham", who won an Oscar for [[Film/{{Shine}} "a real-life person who was essentially a collection of hammy tics and actorly mannerisms"]] and an Emmy for "in a bit of egregious scenery-chewing, he played not only the famous acting chameleon Creator/PeterSellers but also, in fantasy sequences, a number of people in Sellers' life". A large portion of the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' folder [[Largeham/LiveActionFilms here]] is highlighting how carried away Rush gets playing Captain Barbossa.

* Creator/AdamSandler, before ''Film/EightCrazyNights''.

** [[Film/{{Transformers}} "You see this??? This is a 'Do-Whatever-I-Want-And-Get-Away-With-It' Badge"]]
