Lacking in acting skill or talent; not manifesting dramatic ability.
From 'act' + '-less' (suffix meaning 'without'). A theatrical term describing the opposite of a skilled performer.
An 'actless' performance is brutal—it's when someone is supposed to be entertaining or moving but they're just... there. It's the theatrical equivalent of a computer running but not really doing anything useful.
