Kourtney Kardashian Shows Off Acting Chops on 'One Life to Live'

Kourtney Kardashian Shows Off Acting Chops on 'One Life to Live' Kourtney Kardashian is one of the reigning queens of "reality" TV, but can she pull off a scripted show?

Kardashian, who has been a small screen fixture since she appeared on the 2005 competition 'Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive,' made her soap debut on ABC's 'One Life to Live' as troublemaker Kassandra Kavanaugh -- you read that right -- "with two Ks."

Also appearing on Kardashian's episode is talk show host and 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant Wendy Williams, who plays a role close to her own heart: a professional gossip.

While Kardashian is no stranger to gently guided on-screen performances, learning lines was more difficult than she anticipated. When she received the script (a moment captured on her current reality hit, 'Kim and Kourtney Take New York,') the star said, "I'd thought I'd have two lines, but my script is so long ... I'm not an actress."

Don't you have to be an actress to be on a tv soap? Is there a "Razzie Award" for tv shows?

This acting wouldn't even cut it in a porno

Oh, Kourtney. Don't quit your day job, what ever that is......

I saw the show yesterday. She was really very bad. She was a terrible actress.

By Bonbon

Acting? she cannot even speak correctly how is she going to act?

She was TERRIBLE in her role. I hope that the one day she was on OLTL is the last of her. She needs to stick with what she does best...nothing.

By Steph

She is not an actress. I watch this show faithfully and yesterday's episode was painful to say the least. If they keep her on "One Life To Live" this viewer who has been watching this show since the 70's will watch something else.

I caught some of her "acting" . . . even with editing, it was clear she was flubbing lines, couldn't catch her cues and really was trying to "cute" her way through it. And, sorry, but she's too old to be cute.

ALL OF YOU CANNOT BE SURPRISED BY THIS!!

I am SO glad that this girl stated she is not an actress, because she is 110% correct; she's NOT! I don't know how she could allow herself to be so humiliated on national television by ABC. And that VOICE! It's like that shrieking noise when someone runs their fingernails on an old black board (and she has a talk show?). Sorry lady with 2 K's, but you don't belong in front of a camera. There are those who "have it," and those who "don't have it." Unfortunately, you are in the "don't have it" category. Go back to doing whatever it was you used to do. TV is just not that interested in talent anymore, I guess. Look at the shows they’ve got out there – reality this, reality that. Reality? Whose reality? Thank goodness for cable TV and DVD’s. To the powers that be at OLTL: What did we do? Why are you punishing your faithful OLTL followers by making us sit through such a terrible and painful (to listen to) performance? Is this like that winner from the Soap Show all over again? (Another one who had no talent - Michael something). I would have thought you had learned your lesson with that guy! Oh well, thank goodness for fast forward!

I saw it... it stunk. She can't act worth a damn.

Horrible

By franki

Her voice is terrible. She was reciting her lines like she was in a junior high school play and that same tired hairdo. Isn't her mom her manager? How could she let her daughter humiliate herself. I oculdn't believe they would air something so bad.

By TheRealDeal

She doesn't really care if she does a good job or not. As she said on her show, she's "just gonna have fun with it" which Kim also said about her horrible singing. To them, everything is just "fun" because they know they are getting paid regardless. Not only do they NOT give a damn, they are laughing all the way to the bank, and WE are paying for it!

By cb

Chops? She is a cardboard cut out saying lines with no emotional context. I understand this is a soap but she is beyond bad.

By werner

The Kardashians couldn't act their way out of a paper bag, but somehow, putting them in a paper bag and totally ignoring them for a decade or more would suit me just fine. What is it that mnakes people even the slightest big interested in these bimbos AND their mother>

By Heartbreak Kid

she sucked on OLTL....she can't act for sh*t

By Polar Patrol

Oh. My. God. That was TERRIBLE. I really didn't think it could be that bad. But boy, was it ever. And three "with two K's" jokes? Really lame.

I wish we could deport this whole trashy, worthless family back to Kardashia.

By Alicia

I watch One Life To Live everyday and I can honestly say she is an awful actress. Acting is definitely not for her!!
