Rider Actors, the Best and the Worst

[Winter Chevalier]

We've all done it. We'll be sitting down, watching Kamen Rider, and something about a particular actor will make you feel like "Hey this guy is an awesome actor, even if I hate this series and this particular Rider, this guy is an amazing actor" or "This guy is such a horrible actor? Why'd they even let him on the show?!"

So in my boredom and curiosity, I thought I would post this topic to start discussion about who we as HJU members thought were some of the best and worst actors to have ever been involved in Kamen Rider. Please try not to base your answers off of personal hatred/love for a particular series, just look at it from an acting standpoint. So get to talking HJU! I'll post my thoughts in a little bit =3

Say what you will about Den-O...but I still think Takeru Satoh is an AMAZING actor, if he manages to pull off all of those personalities at one time...and break dance to boot.

Odagiri. No question. He is one of the greatest to play a rider.

There are of course, many good actors to play a rider, like Kaname, Hosokawa, Kenji, Hiro and Takeru. But Odagiri, man, is he good.

I think Shigeki Hosokawa, Joe Odagiri, and (this is probably gonna be the odd one) Hiro Mizushima are probably the best title actors we've had in Heisei. If we're talking about the franchise in general...still Shigeki Hosokawa, I really don't think there's any actor that can come close to him.

Yeah, definitely not limited to just Heisei, or even the main Riders themselves. Other main characters are more than welcome into this ^_^

Takeru Satoh is completely fantastic actor.

Philip could have ended up a completely horrible and annoying character, but Masaki Suda made it work.

Koji Kikkawa is a rocking Skull too.

Dude, that's not weird at all, I was thinking of the exact same thing. Hiro is a damn good actor, and he got Tendou down pat.

For Heisei, its a toss up between Odagiri and Hosokawa. LOL, you like Hibiki and I like Kuuga so, its obvious how are view are different

I really dont have any beef with acting, cause its hard to see bad acting to me XD

But the guy who played Amazon in Decade, worst actor I've ever seen in a rider show.

This.

This is the only time I actually have seriously thought "wow, his acting sucks."

I think there were a few times I thought Chalice was trying to hard to "act" evil and all.

ENRIQUE!!!!!!!!!

Handa Kento was kinda bland. I like Faiz as a series though, when I saw the Decade Takumi however, I was like, Where the eff is Kento???
