Wooden acting? Some of the best actors out there are in the miniseries, Paul Giamatti is one of the best actors going today.
He is one of the best actors: he was great in Cinderella Man, American Splendor, and The Illusionist. For one thing, unfortunately, he plays Adams, an 18th Century New Englander, in the same way, and with the same accent and delivery as he did Joe Gould, a depression era fight promoter, in Cinderella Man. The effect for me is jarring; it just doesn't fit.
