Danielle Spencer's acting ability..... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

nndman1 · 08-21-2005, 06:18 AM

I watched a few 2nd season shows this past week and was surprised at the lack of emotion she displayed. They gave her some of the best lines and she delivered them like she was a robot. No wonder we never saw here in anything else again.

I think that was part of her charm... it gets some getting used to. When I first re-watched the dvds I thought... "this girl is crap"... but now she's the highlight of the show! Judging by past posts, you either love her or hate her. She was young, cool, she didn't care what people thought, she had an attitude... that can come across as robotic. I love her!

You took the words right out of my mouth! I couldn't agree with you more! She was a horrible actress. Her voice sounded dull!

Well when you are a bad actress and not much of a Looker, it will be very hard to be considered for acting roles-lol

Retro, you got me cracking up! LOL. But you are right. Dee was ugly! When she got older, her looks didn't improve. But I saw a recent picture of her. She's not bad now.

For that time-era, I thought Dee did a wonderful job with her lines, during those times, she lost her father but she held together.

Too many child stars are exploited, and it's great to see that Ms. Spencer decided to persue her dream.

Having seen some 1st season episodes for the 1st time in years, I must say that Danielle was much better in this season than the other two. She seemed to have a little more emotion in delivering her lines than in seasons 2 & 3.

robby76 · 10-08-2005, 04:24 AM

I got Season 1 today and you're right nndman1... Danielle was a lot livelier in Season 1, but considering her parents were involved in the fatal car accident I'm not suprised she toned down in Season 2. I love Dee anyway, she even got a mention on "King Of Queens"!

I love Danille Spancer (Dee) Now she was not the best actress on television nor was she super gorgeous, but who cares; she was definitely the highlight of What's Happening!!

I, too, thought Danielle Spencer was the funniest person on this show.

Which ep. of King of Queens was she mentioned???
I believe only she and her father were in the car when he was killed.
Danielle is now a veterinarian.

I think she is one of the greatest child actors evah! Deadpan, perfect comic timing! Do you guys realize how brilliant you have to be to become a veterinarian?

Dakota Fanning/Haley Joel Osment--feh............

magellan333 · 10-31-2005, 11:19 PM

I saw little change in Dee between seasons 1 and 2. I do see a decline in quality between the seasons though. I don't plan to buy season 3.

robby76 · 10-31-2005, 11:29 PM

How about Dee in What's Happening Now? How's she in that? And why wasn't she in the opening credits? Did she not have a major role in it?

nndman1 · 11-04-2005, 09:17 AM

If I'm not mistaken, Dee was a supporting character in WHN. She appeared in only a few episodes. Kinda like: special appearance by ____________
