11. Ringo Starr
It’s hard to attack Ringo Starr for his acting career, because he clearly was never trying for very much past having a good time. Much like his sillier compositions for Beatle albums, Ringo’s onscreen presence is comprised of he and his friends goofing off. The little-seen Magical Mystery Tour is a trippy BBC movie, with Ringo screwing around on a caravan, being visited by magicians played by his bandmates.
Later, in Son of Dracula, he and friend Harry Nilsson poke fun at vampire films a little, but primarily it exists for Ringo and Harry to sing a few songs and have a laugh. Still, in terms of hammy acting – something of which many on this list are guilty – no one tops Mr. Richard Starkey.
