Bad acting? He was pretty BAD ASS! Far better than 99% of the so called movie stars we had today in all these big budget bullshit movies you pay $20 a ticket every summer

This is some cheesy directing, but no bad acting... Marc Singer is great!!

His acting was effective for the miniseries. Two of the the main emotions of the story were shock and hysteria, and he communicated those perfectly.

I love the concept of this video clip but I dont think Marc's acting was bad at all.

Its his moves that made him so fun to look at.

all good acting scenes. this guy is an unsung actor..

Marc is a terrific actor. It was tough for him to pretend to struggle with men he could flick away with the back of his hand in real life.

Marc is one of the top ten sci fi hero's of all time as Donovan

Marc singer was like the first rick grimes he was my hero as a child he's a awesome actor .

I don't think he overacted in the original miniseries. In TFB and the weekly series, though, he didn't have Ken Johnson to reign him in, and the bad writing didn't help.

Come on it's the 80's give him a break

He's one of the BEST bad actors I can think of!

He was my hero

Great actor big fan!

He's extraordinary. I'm just watching V again (I'm a huge fan) and he makes me laugh because he's so... Well, you know ! But I love V forever !!!

great actor, I love V, and those movements and acting is perfect for the role :D

I always thought he had an acting presence that seems more like stage than "real" life. Love it

I love marc singer in v and the beastmaster movies,no more over the top than shattner who i also love!

It was convincing enough for me as a 7 year old, now I can't stop laughing. Man I love the 80's.

He's a totally underrated actor, who also happens to be a martial arts expert, capable of doing his own stunt work. I'm thinking the multiple replays means you admire his talent and you should!

my childhood hero - absolute legend !!!

"THEY DID WHAT?!" *Smashes dent into metal panel*

The "William Shatner" of V!

I love the bit where he puts the massive dent in the metal plate.

No, he's PERFECT!!!! Ham it Up. He's supposed to act like that. This Opiod-Fentenyl Generation underacts and calls our Old shows Overacting. Lol Billie Eilish is this current generation's speed while we had Madonna and Cindi Lauper's "over-singing" along with Mike Donovan Marc Singer's "overacting"

He's a stage actor. You need that emoting in that setting. Case closed.

Marc Singer is to Over Acting, as Sean Bean is to Dying... I love it, and I dedicate for these thespians for their dedication for their craft... Nobody Does it Better..., Baby your the Best. 💋

The Beastmaster in rare form

i love donovan's character and i'm a huge fan of V so really i didn't do it in a mean way.

Come on man this show is as campy as it gets. That's what makes it so wonderful. Like bad scifi b movies. But this one has a compelling plot and characters that keep you riveted even with bad acting/set designs

man, why the hate? this was the quintessential series of the 80s. this series was HUGE. back when mini-series were the ultimate in entertainment for television. you didn't want an actual series. you wanted a mini-series. filmed on tight budgets and even tighter schedules, the fans were lucky to see any acting at all. Singer was at his all time best in hamming it up for this show. Im sure doing re-shoots for numerous takes was not in the budget. On top of that, Singer's rep was sooo wide reaching during this series run he could have been caught red-handed in a scandal and everyone would have just glanced over it. Hlaf the reason the new V reboot didnt take was the missing characters and actors themselves in Singer and Ironside. These two on screen at one time was enough to melt your television set from pure cringy cheesiness. The only way to top it would have been to have William Shatner do a guest spot. In the end, these actors gave America exactly what they wanted....classic cheese with a side of cheese on a bun made of cheese.

I love V, V the final battle, and V the series back in the 1980's in my teenage years. For a science fiction movie ever made they knew how great acting, great performance, and lots of fist ✊ fighting.

Lol. I'm rewatching this series now it's so campy but still draws you in I still love it all these years later. You can really see how it influenced later shows/movies like Starship Troopers with the news tv reports on the war effort.

yeah, but remember you cant blame him tottally. the director sets the stage for what he wants, and most of these small time pimadonna tv directors dont want to listen to cast input, cause most of them are only there for that one episode. sure there were some seriously stupid moments in the series, but he did damned good with REAL directors in both mini series. the series was pressed a lot of time to deliver each ep, and they geared it for the kids mainly taking it away from its adult audience.

I don't think I ever considered Marc Singer as a "bad actor" to be honest. 🤔

The way he moves reminds me in MacGyver (Richard Deam Anderson). But who has copied whom?

@1coteca

McGyver came shortly after this. So Richard Dean Anderson copied Marc Singer.

Come on, he added to most of those scenes. You want me to jump over a one foot hedge? Okay, but I'll add a dramatic roll.

I personally like to think this is just how Mike is as a character. He's trying so hard to look cool but he has no idea what he's doing lol

Yeah it was cheesy But us V fans loved it

is not overacting! mike donovan´s character had heroics running through his veins, and that´s the way he should move and talk. marc singer forever!

marc singer is awesome

Marc is a Shakespearean trainer actor, blame the writing and directing

This is a bit harsh, yes, he didn't have the acting ability of a De Niro or Pacino, but he was given some terrible lines, and the director has to take some blame. When it came to the action scenes, I thought that he was excellent.

I loved V the original series I hated the remake 2013. Marc made V what it was and that was pure brilliance

💥Frak this.... Tom Hanks couldn't do half the things this great physical actor can do. Marc Singer. My kind of actor.

Meh, thought he did a decent job & wouldn't have been the same without The Beastmaster. Ah well, 'bad acting FTW'. Big Up Donovan... (+ Tony.. bless him)

best stunts ever! remember Marc Singer is a martial artist, never heard about katas? it means fighting against imaginary opponents, that's exactly what he does! ;)

Marc was a very good martial artist, there is video on here where he demonstrates it. He performed his own stunts and was a very physical actor.

Marc Singer was a great actor back in the 80s apart from Beast master he should have been in western superhero military horror or action films

Marc Singer is not the best actor but V was an amazing show. probably the most underated tv show in the 80's.

Marc Singer was a legend. No Marc no V

I like Scott Bakula, but Marc Singer should've been the captain in Enterprise. The show still would've been bad, but it would've been a bit more fun.

Bad acting? Have you seen Ice Cube????

Its not bad acting. Its what acting was in the 80s!

This is the same guy that faced off against the visitor's supreme martial arts master... who was so fearful that everyone trembled in his presence... and beat him in about 10 secs. So I agree with the other guy... he was simply that heroic, how could we possibly understand what that's like? On a more serious note, as much as I adore the old V, the script was often full of extremely cheesy lines by today's standards. But hey, Mike will always be one of my fav characters of all time.

he is tha best i love even his overacting.

My all time fav show ever, i was so into V as a kid, i slet V, Dreamt V, Everything V, i wanted to be Donovan lol but i agree his acting was funny.

Very cheesy overacting. But I don't it's entirely Singer's fault. Take a look at that stiff piece of cardboard Clive Owen and tell me which is truely worse. Directors often compensate by trying too hard to get their actors to look natural when acting out a scene. Unfortunatly there's very few actors who can pull it off.

Coolest action star of the greatest miniseries EVER

Seriously, the guy's no De Niro, but I mean come on, considering the cheesy dialogue and scenes he had to be in, he did a good job with it.

Anyone with the name Donovan, is ok in my book!

Hahahahah!!! It was the 80s... everyone was a bad actor in the 80s!! Lol this is pretty epic though... nice

Love the part where he smashes the metal plate at 2:10.

Yeah, he overacted a bit, but at least he is extremely entertaining. Also, his acting has improved dramatically over the years since the tv series. Check him out in ABC's V remake as Lars Tremont, he was great!

i think many actors copied him later on. Check Brad Pitt and George Clooney, they all use excess movement of head and body and this what people view as sexy. Jim Carrey does a bit of parody of this style.

This is Shatner level bad acting. Whew

0:27 That's badass any way you spin it.

Lol...he is not that bad! Love the original V

Badass acting is my title i love v and his charactter Mike donavon

Oh man, I loved me some V - The Final Battle back in the 80's. I remember they played it over a series of a few days on, like, NBC or ABC. Back then Cable was too expensive, so we had a satellite dish which got me Nickelodeon, then the 6 local cannels. Shows like this were almost a National event, like when Michael Jackson unveiled his huge statue. Everyone gathered around the TV after dinner. There were a lot of cool things in the 80's, which were just magical to us as children...

The 1980s just as I remember them as a kid (and I was not even in the U.S. but rather in eastern Europe ... but I guess the decade was fun almost anywhere)

I whish I could wear my pants that tight.

Everything was dialled up to 11, it was the Eighties. Just look at Diana's hair, etc... I remember watching it originally, but boy have those effects aged badly.

A lot of over acting for sure, especially the scene when he dents the can. Why did he wear those weird extra large gloves lol... Another thing I never understood about this series was that the visitors were invading earth and you never heard a thing about the President ... Donovan and a few rebels drove the visitors away lol

He isn't a Marlon Brando or Jack Nicholson that's for sure but he's an ok actor.

Yeah, Marc was the man.

I’m not going to claim Marc Singer is a good actor, but a lot of this is just bad scene choreography!

I just watched. 'Go tell the Spartans', I thought he was excellent as the young career Captain.

I enjoyed V. Why take the piss. Maybe they should have got Robert DeNiro to play his role?

But Marc Singer poses like no other.Lol

Yeah, he ain't the greatest actor, that's for sure.

At 1:10, Why is he beating up Emeril Lagasse?.

He’s not a bad actor. This was the 80s. And V The TV series had some pretty bad writing

Not the best actor, but what a set of legs! His thighs are awesome, luv to be wrapped up in them!

I loved V , in my childhood . Marc Singer may not be the best actor. Today we "may"have better actors ,but for" sure" no entertainment Suck it up Cupcake

They did WHAT???

To get this good at overacting he must have been Bill Shatner's understudy...
