A person who is a bad actor, actor who indicates, over-the-top, could
potentially be
overacting to make moments larger than they honestly feel about them.
A shitty acting
performance, or a schmuck who is unsuccessfully trying to act
Schmuck + acting = schmacting
The actor had no
connection to the work, it was obvious he was schmacting.
Watching that scene was so painful, the actor clearly had no idea how they truly felt and was
indicating an emotion, clearly a very bad case of schmacting.
You think that was a
performance? Acting, schmacting.
