Ham and Cheese	comment	Say you're an actor and a damn good one at that. You're hot stuff in Hollywood, with directors throwing money at your feet to be in their film. So you pick the one that gets you the most cash or sounds the most promising in general. It'll all be fine, right? Wrong. You arrive on set to find what seems to be a film Gone Horribly Wrong, complete with Special Effects Failure, horrible actors, and a script with so much cheese and so many holes it might as well be printed on deli Swiss. What's a star to do? Well, you have options. You could just say "Screw This, I'm Outta Here", storm off and refuse to associate with the film ever again, you could take the project seriously, and try with all your might to make it work... Or you could unleash The Hog, milk that great big heifer dry, and chew the scenery into a fine pulp. If it's going to be a well-remunerated bad movie, you might as well enjoy yourself, eh? And who knows? You might even end up saving the film. After all... What could go better with all that cheese than a big slab of HAM? You may notice that these performances tend to appear in tandem with ones that Took the Bad Film Seriously if only because they are such obvious Foils for each other. Also, compare One-Scene Wonder; both roles/actors in these films play memorable, often over-the-top enjoyable performances and can make them one of the best parts of a film. Compare the Rule of Sean Connery; the rule often applies to actors who know exactly when to serve up the Ham and Cheese. Can overlap with Questionable Casting and Awesome, Dear Boy. Compare Chewing the Scenery, Wag the Director. Contrast Took the Bad Film Seriously. NOTE: This is not for listing hammy roles in good or even decent works. For the ham without the cheese, see tropes such as Large Ham and Incoming Ham for good alternates.

However, the late Ed Gilbert, playing the Big Bad, Emperor Gorganus, goes all out with his crappy role, to the point that his scenes are probably the best things in the show.

It's pretty clear from her line delivery and facial expressions that once she read the script (which calls for her character, Lola, to spend half her screentime wearing a soaking-wet negligee, disheveled hair and runny eye makeup while dual-wielding pistols and gunning down all manner of individuals), she decided to take it as far as she could, and she looks to be the only person not to deliver the cornball material in a serious manner.

Ham and Cheese / int_1dbbf4d0	comment	Shawn Michaels used this to do a Take That! to Hulk Hogan when backstage politics led to him getting buried in a match. Michaels, rather than try to turn in the normal top-tier performance you're supposed to try for a PPV, spent the whole match flying around the ring◊ in ways that would make a Ragdoll Physics programmer think he was overdoing it. You can also count on this whenever Michaels teams up with Triple H (rarely these days, unfortunately) in D-Generation X. WWE is so intrinsically absurd anyway that you tend to get used to all the folderol and usually manage only a mild chuckle - but DX will make you laugh right out loud. Uncontrollably.

Ham and Cheese / int_271b9cc8	comment	Persona 5: The Animation suffers from a lot of the problems an adaptation of its source material's scope would come under (noticeable animation errors, rushed storylines, awkward pacing etc.). And yet one of the most widely praised aspects was the dub, as the dub actors (who for the most part reprise their roles from the game), inject the same charm into their characters that made them so beloved in-game while giving plenty of funny moments almost to Gag Dub levels. This is especially true for Xander Mobus, who free to voice Joker with more than just short lines, goes all-out in playing Ren as both a suave and calculating Phantom Thief and dorky/snarky teenager, and it's a treat to hear.

This is a Japanese game with No Export for You - yet it is entirely in over-the-top English and recorded by people who speak English natively for a game released only in Japan. Until it got rereleased on PC, Playstation 4, and X-Box One as Metal Wolf Chaos XD.

Ham and Cheese / int_2d2d17de	comment	One interesting example from the series is the character of Divatox from Power Rangers Turbo and Power Rangers in Space. In Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, the latter part of the Turbo season, and all of In Space, she was played by Hilary Shepard Turner in this manner. For many fans, she was all that made any of Turbo watchable. But for the first 60% or so of that season, she was away on maternity leave and replaced by Carol Hoyt. Carol took the role much more seriously, which came across as rather boring and generic. Most fans still prefer Hilary's version and were happy to have her back.

As soon as Eddie Brock is infected, Hardy gets unhinged, even if silent (all his movements are intense!) or off-screen (Venom's inner voice, which is deep, over-the-top and loves to throw insults).

The scenery's also chewed by Rob Schneider, who provides a nicely frantic comic foil to the deadpan Sylvester Stallone, Jürgen Prochnow for the unsubtle role of Judge Griffin, James Remar as the raging Block Warlord, and Christopher Adamson as the memorably grotesque Machine Angel (of course, when you're playing a cannibalistic cyborg, you don't exactly want to play him as "reserved").

That being said, it is generally agreed that the anime would have been less enjoyable if it wasn't for the overly dramatic voice acting in the English dub, particularly Chris Patton's Ayato and Maggie Flecknoe's Yui. Given that Sentai Filmworks seems to have licensed it for contractual reasons, and the general reputation of the series, they seemed to have put as much intentional ham as they could, knowing it's not exactly an arthouse masterpiece.

Then, in The Film of the Book, someone got Bruce Campbell to show up for five minutes just so killer gorillas could throw human eyeballs at him and then slaughter him off-camera as he screams. Then they brought Tim Curry in as a "Romanian Philanthropist" who is "Travelink de vorld und doink goot!" - and the gorillas kill him too! Delroy Lindo shows up too, asking for "More" money, calling Tim Curry a "Big Bag of Shit" and telling him to STOP EATING MY SESAME CAKE! He stays home, so he doesn't get killed by gorillas.

Whether he's threatening the heroine, "I want FLESH", performing William Shakespeare on a high-school stage (yes, seriously), giving orders to the ghost of a killer who died in the electric chair, pleading for his unlife with an unseen Parliament, or negotiating with modern day military, it's pure Ham and Cheese. He's not the only one. Rob Paulsen, Joe Morton, Andre Sogliuzzo, Michael Cochrane, and Veronica Hart are all chewing the scenery at one time or another, including a ghostly high school librarian breaking into the school song.

Ham and Cheese / int_6eb03297	comment	No Holds Barred is a Narm-heavy star vehicle for Hulk Hogan, released in 1989. It's basically Hulk being an Ink-Suit Actor and playing the same All-American Face he already was, with a plot about a Corrupt Corporate Executive trying to sign him to his fledgling network. It failed to make Hogan into a prominent leading man in Hollywood, since Hogan's acting skills were... let's say, limited. But the villain of the movie, Zeus, was played by Tom "Tiny" Lister, who establishes himself as a Wrestling Monster with huge, incoherent screams, chest-beating, lazy, googly eyes and absolutely No Indoor Voice. He's easily the most entertaining performance in the film, simply for how insane he acts nearly every time he's on screen.

Ham and Cheese / int_8125b468	comment	The Batman movies have a history of this. Batman Forever has Jim Carrey babbling about "brainwave manipulation", stating that his neon wardrobe keeps him "safe while he's jogging at night." Ham and cheese on rye. One gets the impression that Tommy Lee Jones was using the film as an excuse to enjoy himself as well - mostly trying to surpass Carrey when they share the screen. Case in point, the entire sequence involving the attack on Wayne Manor. Uma Thurman's performance in Batman & Robin. She clearly thought she was signing up for something good (Batman? And George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger are gonna be in it? Sounds awesome!) ...And then she got the script. And saw the sickeningly neon costumes. She plays Poison Ivy as a completely over-the-top villainess, and she's clearly having a fabulous time doing it. One of the very few saving graces of that movie. The same goes for Schwarzenegger, who admitted to hating the Mr. Freeze armor he had to keep wearing. He sure looks like he's having fun though. Really, most of the cast. The film ends up feeling like a giant prank on George Clooney, who Took the Bad Film Seriously. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was widely criticized for being overly dark and dreary. However, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor is the sole exception, portraying the character as completely insane and more akin to The Riddler. Needless to say, he's one of the few sources of humor in an otherwise extremely bleak and depressing movie, which is part of the reason his performance was criticized for being jarring and ill-fitting.

Ham and Cheese / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek has lots of this, being such a Long Runner. Star Trek: The Original Series has "The Omega Glory," which has a climactic scene where Captain Kirk reads the Constitution to Human Aliens, who just happened to independently develop one just like Earth's United States. William Shatner didn't care for this particular episode, so he just hammed it up mercilessly, resulting in one of the most uniquely Shatner moments ever put on tape. Just the way he says "WE... the PEE-ple..." "The Doomsday Machine" is an interesting case. Guest star William Windom thought the episode "seemed kind of silly, with the planet eater and the spaceships", and acted as though he was playing in a cartoon. He wound up giving the episode the energy and emotional depth it needed, and it's now one of the more popular episodes of the original series. On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "Our Man Bashir" forced the main cast to act out the roles in Dr. Bashir's James Bond holosuite program. Avery Brooks, in the role of an intentionally campy Omnicidal Maniac Bond villain, wolfed down the scenery and went back for seconds. As does Nana Visitor, who in this interview, said she was in heaven because her Bond girl role called for a comically terrible Russian accent and coming out of a wall on a round bed. Over in Star Trek: The Next Generation: You are Patrick Stewart. You have a dodgy script that isn't likely to be filmed very well for an episode called "Masks". You also have a prop with a distinctly phallic shape. What do you do? a) Try manfully to turn in a good performance; b) Sleepwalk through the episode or c) Hold the prop with its base right in front of your crotch, emphasize the words that make the best euphemisms in that scene, and make Jonathan Frakes crack up ? Speaking of Next Generation: an early episode, "Code Of Honor," gained infamy in the fanbase for its use of Darkest Africa stereotypes to represent the Ligonians as an alien race. None of the regular cast members have anything good to say about this one, especially Jonathan Frakes who wanted it pulled from syndication. At the very least, Jessie Lawrence Ferguson, playing the Ligonian leader, Lutan, has tons of gusto as the villain, one of the episode's few redeeming features. Season 7 has "Sub Rosa," a ghost story where Beverly Crusher falls in love with a "ghost" hidden inside her deceased grandmother's lamp. The episode is infamous among fans for its sheer strangeness, even ridiculousness, by Star Trek standards. Gates McFadden is a little more unhinged and less reserved than her performances usually are, likely as a result of having to spend several long shots all by herself reacting to a disembodied voice. McFadden still openly mocks this episode to this day. Star Trek: Voyager provides an In-Universe example with the Show Within a Show holoprogram The Adventures of Captain Proton, specifically designed by Tom Paris to be as over-the-top as possible. Speaking of Voyager, there's the infamous "Threshold" where Tom Paris breaks the warp 10 barrier, and is somehow everywhere in the universe at once. He winds up right back at the ship, somehow, and the aftereffect of this experience causes Tom to become allergic to water. Then, in Sick Bay, he pulls out his own tongue and slowly turns into what can only be described as a salamander-like creature, which the Doctor says (with a straight face) is the future of human evolution(?). Absolutely none of the science in this episode makes a lick of sense, and even big fans of the show still treat this episode as one of the worst episodes in the whole franchise. Tom Paris' actor, Robert Duncan McNeill, didn't get too many focus episodes, so he still made the most of it and spent his transformation sequence acting his heart out, going stir-crazy and shouting as loud as he ever has in the series.

The guy who plays Murtaugh is clearly having the time of his life. He's only in a few scenes, the title for the largest ham in Eragon has to go to John Malkovich, who, along with his silly over the top costume, emphasizes every single syllable and sound. The RiffTrax for Eragon refers to John Malkovich as "the ham's ham. He makes Al Pacino look subtle." Chris Egan had only a bit part as Roran, but managed to spin it into a starring role on the vastly superior but tragically short-lived Kings alongside the legendary Ian McShane.

That said, there's one actor who adds the extra ham to the cheese sandwich, being Dan Janjigian playing the role of drug dealer Chris-R. In the short minute and a half that he's on-screen, he absolutely Chews the Scenery by threatening to blow Denny's brains out with a pistol for not having his drug money, and his role was so passionate, that the other actors were outright scared of Janjigian, thinking he was actually that violent. Janjigian pulled off the rare feat of combining this trope with Took the Bad Film Seriously since despite being the only person in the cast who wasn't a professional actor (he was a motivational speaker who did the role as a favor to his roommate) went as far as to read up on Uta Hagen and Stanislavsky (the latter one of the codifiers of Method Acting) and kept character even off camera.

There are three exceptions: Jeffrey Dean Morgan as a smug man in black with a cowboy drawl, hamming up every single time he appears on-screen (and Morgan added that once the director gave him free reins, he had to “embrace the ridiculousness of it all.”); Jake Lacy as a fraidy Harmless Villain who's constantly mugging and panicking (the scene where he and Morgan are together is a sight to behold); and Malin Akerman as Lacy's sister, a smarmy Corrupt Corporate Executive who knows whatever she's doing is evil and is not afraid to act sultry and mean.

Ham and Cheese / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: Out of the train wreck that is Sonic '06, Dan Green's gloriously over-the-top performance as Mephiles the Dark is easily the most enjoyable part of the game. The series in general has Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. While the Adventure-to-Heroes-era and 4Kids voice actors were much criticized, Deem Bristow and Mike Pollock respectively stood out in doses of awesomely cheesy ham and memorable catchphrases. In fact, when Sega finally gave in to fan complaints and replaced the 4Kids actors in 2010, Pollock – by far the most popular and least criticized of the cast – was the only one of the bunch to keep his job. The Deadly Six from Sonic Lost World were not the best villains, ranging from boring to flat to even offensive - so voicing Zavok, basically Bowser-Lite, probably wasn't easy for Travis Willingham. Still, he gave it his all, and Zavok is one of the more memorable members of the Deadly Six because of it.

Yet Stanley Tucci seems to have been the only person in it that was aware of the utter ridiculousness of the plot and thus provided a really campy performance. He is arguably the most entertaining thing in the movie. You can't necessarily tell from his performance, but Aaron Eckhart later admitted in an interview that he could barely keep a straight face through most of his lines. The director himself gives as good as his cast in the DVD Commentary. It's either exquisite Self-Parody, or he really believes he was "staying true to his vision" and that the movie is untrammeled, if under-appreciated, genius. Either would explain a great deal.

He pulls double duty as the voice of all-brawn, no-brains baddie Nuclear Man and his grunts and roars have this trope written all over it.

Ham and Cheese / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "The Celestial Toymaker" was a script heavily hampered by No Budget conditions and the fact that the plot's central point had been made impossible by copyright disputes, leading to much of the story being basically Padding. On the other hand, Michael Gough chews on the scenery hand over fist and is obviously loving the opportunity to be an over-the-top, hammy villain. He even takes the script seriously in some places to deliver some surprisingly intense interactions with the Doctor. Professor Zaroff in "The Underwater Menace" is likely this. Most fans (and the cast and crew) find "The Underwater Menace" hokey, nonsensical and generally stupid, but Joseph Fürst played Zaroff so outrageously over-the-top and with so much Chewing the Scenery that he becomes an entertaining and memorable villain (although the interview with Anneke Wills on the reconstruction audio suggests that she thought he Took the Bad Film Seriously, and that she and Troughton would constantly make him repeat his line "NOTHINK IN ZE VORLD CAN SHTOP ME NOW!!" to laugh at him and he never realized they were mocking him). Elisabeth Sandifer thought that Patrick Troughton, as the Doctor, was hamming it up out of boredom in "The Dominators", a story that most people find excruciatingly boring: Patrick Troughton spends a lot of "The Space Pirates", a rather convoluted story in which he has virtually nothing to do, hamming it up as much as he can get away with. This involves a lot of Took the Bad Film Seriously, as he plays his scene where he nearly kills everyone perfectly and terrifyingly straight but also involves him extending his vowels as far as he can while trying to look clever in front of Zoe. Tom Baker was, according to the special features on "Robot", specifically cast for this — as the future of the show at that point was uncertain due to the lead actor and entire production team changing (and there had been several attempts to kill the show off), the casting director's brief was to find someone who was "a very good actor" and "so charismatic that he is fun to watch even when nothing else is". Before Tom Baker got to the point where he could change lines in the script, he tended to really overact stupid lines of dialogue or unfunny jokes he would have to say — usually delivering them by fixing the camera with his eyes and overacting the line with a contemptuous "can you believe I am saying this shit?!" expression, as if asking the audience to laugh at the show itself. This draws a lot of attention to the clunkers, unfortunately, but pushes at least a few of them into So Unfunny, It's Funny. Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen hated everything they had to say in "The Android Invasion", and so rewrote all of their dialogue together. Both of them are clearly having a lot of fun. Both Sladen and Baker (especially) have an absolutely wonderful time overacting their way through the incredibly out-of-character and cynically recycled audio drama Dr. Who and the Pescatons. Tom Baker delivers his bad lines with an audible smirk, comes up with all sorts of fun ways of interpreting a "generic Doctor"-type script to fit the Fourth Doctor's character and even bursts out into song at one point. "The Invasion of Time" had No Budget, catastrophic Special Effects Failure, enforced Lighter and Softer tone, truly awful BBC Quarry sets, a mediocre script hinging on an "event" most people wouldn't care about and a very angry Tom Baker who felt that his show was imploding and was struggling with his personal life. The kicker is that the script required him to act like an insane megalomaniac, which he pretty much was even out-of-character at that point. The result is the biggest, loudest, most swivel-eyed and self-indulgent overacting a Doctor has ever been responsible for, with much of his dialogue openly addressed to the camera. Depending on how funny you find him, it's either making a washout story hilariously watchable or the worst thing in his whole tenure. "The Creature from the Pit" features Special Effect Failure, No Budget, a kindly monster that happens to look like a giant cock and balls, and Tom Baker cracking himself up by cramming as many knob jokes and fellatio innuendos into his performance as possible. The 1979 story "The Horns of Nimon". Despite Graham Crowden's legendary chewing of scenery, there was plenty of the set left for other actors to dine on. One of the other characters — the co-pilot, played by Malcolm Terris — has the catchphrase "WEAKLING SCUM!" that he delivers in increasingly over-the-top pantomimic ways. Even more delicious is that during his death scene, he overacts so spectacularly that his trousers visibly split. According to Doctor Who Magazine, "WEAKLING SCUM!!!" wasn't even in the script, Terris came up with it all by himself. Pop him between two slices of bread and you'd have a ham and cheese sandwich you could use to beat a bear to death. Colin Baker: no matter how awful the Sixth Doctor's attitude (and Baker's personal life at the time) got, his truly marvelous overacting always made up for a lot. "Timelash": Paul Darrow gives a performance that has to be seen to be disbelieved. He later said that this was revenge for Colin Baker's Large Ham tendencies when he appeared on Blake's 7 as Bayban the Butcher. Kate O'Mara is clearly having a wonderful time playing the vampy, Campy Mad Scientist villainess the Rani in all three of the godawful TV stories the character was in. In fact, many people think that easily the worst story out of them — "Dimensions in Time" — had the best Rani. Richard Briers openly admitted that he took his role in "Paradise Towers" to have the opportunity to act badly. Eric Roberts seemed to be doing this as the Master in the TV Movie. The Sycorax Leader and David Tennant in his debut role as the Tenth Doctor during "The Christmas Invasion". Killer Santas and killer Christmas Trees meet a bellicose alien who wants to sell humanity into slavery. When he meets Ten, it results in Ham-to-Ham Combat. And when the Sycorax Leader is practically frothing at the mouth, Ten decides to mock him and takes the ham through the ceiling.

The premise of Face/Off is that Travolta plays the hard-nosed cop and Cage plays the Laughing Mad terrorist, and through slightly contrived circumstances they get their faces switched onto each other's bodies. This leads to Travolta being the maniac pretending to be a cop, and Cage being the cop pretending to be a maniac. The film is just a little bit ludicrous, but Cage and Travolta take turns hamming it up mercilessly, making what could have been a silly John Woo work into a successful action flick (the film was an commercial success and scored an impressive 92% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes).

Much to the despair of those who followed them around the territories, they went from hardcore icons with several brutal matches to their name, to bumbling idiots who licked fans and bit opponents. And yet Luke and Butch got really into their roles, making them household names in the Golden Age of the Federation. Part of why they got into it is attributed to a) similar to Dusty Rhodes, wanting a break from all the blood they spilled in the territories and b) being very popular with the kids, which at that time meant plenty of merch sales.

Sean Connery realized how much Highlander II: The Quickening was sinking into Sequelitis, and made his performance one big raised middle finger to the producers who brought his character Back from the Dead so he could appear in the sequel. Michael Ironside's portrayal of Big Bad General Katana. The statement from him at the top of the page is quite possibly the most explicit admission of engaging in this trope in cinema history. Highlander II also features John C. McGinley (who, by his own admittance, was channeling Orson Welles) as The Dragon. Spoony, in his commentary for his review of the film, stated that although he hated the film overall, he gave credit to McGinley's performance. Highlander: Endgame features Bruce Payne (who also hammed it up as Jeremy Irons' lackey in Dungeons & Dragons (2000)) as the main villain, Jacob Kell, who gives one of the most questionable performances of the entire series. The Guardian acts ludicrously over the top in every scene he's in Highlander: The Source. As Spoony pointed out, every word out of his mouth is a wisecrack.

Ham and Cheese / int_e4ba0958	comment	Bray Wyatt post-WrestleMania 35 came back as...a Mr. Rogers-like children's show host. The concept may have been strange at first, but it's clear that Bray absolutely revels in his role, being so over the top in his portrayal that it's hilarious...until he reveals his Dark Secret to the world.

Ham and Cheese / int_e5b8fbed	comment	Looney Tunes: Back in Action gave us Steve Martin as the ACME Chairman (no name given), who was undoubtedly a Dr. Evil-esque parody of James Bond villains, combined with corporation owner (arguably based on the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies). While the film wasn't exactly the greatest Looney Tunes piece ever made (quite the opposite, according to critics), Martin just went all-out with his character. In some of the developer reels, they talked about how Martin genuinely liked being silly with his character so much he would even stay in character during breaks for no other reason than because he could. Half the stuff they threw in because he ad-libbed it on the set.

Ham and Cheese / int_e8e9b40c	comment	The cast of Canadian Musketeer series Young Blades used to veer madly between narm-tastic attempts to take the bad show seriously, and bouts of outrageous tongue-in-cheek ham. The latter approach was a lot more successful, as it was often damn hilarious to watch and caused the series to tip over into So Bad, It's Good territory. Robert Sheehan (King Louis XIV) was probably the only cast member with Ham and Cheese as his default setting - his camp and outlandish performance was easily the most entertaining part of the show.

Ham and Cheese / int_ea7635f4	comment	Alien: Resurrection is often considered one of the sillier entries in the Alien franchise, and has Ron Perlman, J. E. Freeman and Brad Dourif invoking this trope.

Ham and Cheese / int_f41a3d5d	comment	The Karate Kid Part III is generally considered the weakest part of the franchise, and to only have one redeeming feature; Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver. Silver is the closest thing to a Captain Planet villain we'll ever see in a live-action work, and seeing him switch from maniacal giggling to Suddenly Shouting at the drop of a hat, milk the giant cow and go through props like a fat kid in cake is a thing to behold. When he returned in the Sequel Series Cobra Kai, the writers had him explain that he was out of his mind on cocaine the whole time to retroactively justify his cartoonish, cackling villainy.

Ham and Cheese / int_f73ead2c	comment	The 1964 adaptation of Lord Jim is pretty boring... until you meet Eli Wallach's Calvera-like Arab overlord "The General", a lisping, mincing man with an awful buzzcut, who struts around in a black vest, pretty much having the time of his life.

Ham and Cheese / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Over in Star Trek: The Next Generation: You are Patrick Stewart. You have a dodgy script that isn't likely to be filmed very well for an episode called "Masks". You also have a prop with a distinctly phallic shape. What do you do? a) Try manfully to turn in a good performance; b) Sleepwalk through the episode or c) Hold the prop with its base right in front of your crotch, emphasize the words that make the best euphemisms in that scene, and make Jonathan Frakes crack up ?
