I.e. A great actor being purposefully bad because the character they're playing is supposed to suck at acting. My first thought will always be Julianne Moore's wooden, dead-eyed porn acting in Boogie Nights. ![](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1bd31aae46406e5a41457ad62ba6a1b6/tumblr_n04fyvwWEx1r8bxs1o1_500.gif) But then... there's also Jean Hagen in Singin' in the Rain, Jennifer Tilly in Bullets Over Broadway, the entire cast of Waiting for Guffman... What are your choices?

The cast of Marat/Sade is magnificent in the way they play their characters playing their characters.

Mia Kirshner in The Black Dahlia is my go-to for this, in her big audition reel scene, where she riffs on Scarlett O'Hara in a really bad and stagey Southern Belle accent to the point that (off-screen) Brian de Palma can't resist laughing... but then she drops the accent and continues the line in a haunting and chilling way.
