The worst actor working today

[TheVioletBandit]

Fair enough... By association though, John Travolta... I forget, was he ever good in a film?

I was actually going to name him but forgot how to spell his last name and didn't feel like looking it up.

And no, no he hasn't.

Broken Arrow is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen...made even funnier by the fact that it's not supposed to be funny.

Now I think of it, He is probably the most famous, crap actor to appear in one of history's worst films ever made...


I think I have to call /thread at this point...

What movie was that?

Whoever played Anakin in Episode I and II. Oh god I hate him so much.

Jake Lloyd played him in Episode I. He actually sort of fell off the face of the earth after that. Hayden Christensen played him in Episode II and III. I recommend directing your seething hatred towards that individual (or just George Lucas).

Battlefield Earth. Probably one of the most fantastically bad movies ever made on a decent budget.

Yep, a dollar a day straight out of you account. I'm guessing if you lose it you can just buy the movie or something. That or they just keep charging you until the day you die 0_0.

All the people on this list only play ONE Goddamn character, and it's themselves: Michael Cera, Jack Black, Adam Sandler, Eddie Murphy, Seth Rogan, Will Ferrell.

All the people on this list can't even do that much: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Shia Lebeouf, Megan Fox.

 

[Active Schizophrenic]

I cant see how anybody could hate jack Black after The Pick of Destiny.


OT: Duane Johnson has no business in movies

 

[Active Schizophrenic]

Well I can't argue for that reason alone. But he's been terrific in the past. Interview with a vampire, Top Gun, Collateral, The Last Samurai, Valkyrie, Eyes Wide Shut... All very different roles but he is great in all of them.

Of that list, I'll grant you Top Gun, Interview with a Vampire, and Last Samurai, the rest were absolute crap if you ask me.

I will admit, though, I don't like Tommy as a person in general, so that does bias me towards disliking his acting.

Just you know my favourite movie of all time: Pulp Fiction.


You uncultured cur

 

[TotalerKrieger]

Dennis Quaid takes the cake in my books. The man looks and talks like he is terribly and painfully constipated at all times. In every one of his movies, Quaid's "bearing down" face and unintelligible grunting noises turn even the most serious drama into comedy.

Runners Up: Nicolas Cage & Mark Walberg.

Male: Craig Horner. There will be no discussion of this point. He has the charisma and personality of a rock . . . and less acting talent.


Female: Bridget Regan. When you set out to play a regal, powerful, respectable, intelligent mature woman, and instead play a skank who has taken on airs, you have no talent.

Vin Diesel?
I mean, the guy can only play 1 character - Vin Diesel.

You better hope Diesel doesn't hear of this slander, lock your door just to be safe. Wait, who am I kidding, he'd just punch through your wall.

 

[GenericAmerican]

I don't pay very much attention to actors. .. but that girl from transformers . . .because, well do I really even need a reason?

 

[Olas]

How about Lindsey Lohan? Although I guess she's retired now.
Then maybe Ashton Kutcher.

what would define a bad actor is someone who can not act well, who's performance is unbelievable and actively detracts from the movie they are in. People can say Cage or Schwarzenagger, yet in the movies they are usually a part of their acting fits the tone of the movies. They are by no means good actors, but they are far from the worse.
An actor that is typecast but can still display the role they are acting is also not a good choice here. Cera has a face I want to hit with a brick, but that alone does not make a bad actor. And in spite of it all, he can display believable emotions and fill the character role of a story well.

No, the only ones that really come to mind are the ones where the performance seems either utterly missing or are so off they dispel the illusion of the movie by how they are performed. Kristen Stewart for the former and Shia LeBeouf for the later. I suppose I could throw mention of the likes of Megan Fox, but I have only seen her in transformers myself and that is not a fair judge of her acting chops when the director's only guidance is "be eye candy"

I am surprised no one has mentioned Chaning Tatum (The Vow, 21 Jump Street) or Chris Motherfucking Hensworth (Thor and Avengers... as Thor), everytime either of them open their mouth I just think: "Dear god please let them shut up for once!" Hensworth is an Australian and tries to make his accent into a Norwegian one that is god awful and made me ashamed to be Australian.

 

[GiantRaven]

The amount of awesomely hilarious Nicolas Cage videos in this thread delights me. How can anybody watch those and then come to the conclusion that "yeah man, this guy sucks"?!

 

[Cazza]

Sacha Baron Cohen
Adam Sandler
Ben Stiller


I really can't stand the movies that these guys do, and thats all they done. It seems like they do a different movie with the same jokes.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Kristen Stewart

I just.... hate her.

Can't really explain why.

 

[Frybird]

I wanted to say Megan Fox, but then i remembered there was that other girl in Transformers 3 who magically managed to be SO. MUCH. WORSE. than her.

I think her name was Not-Megan-Fox...

Also, Parker Posey (Luthor's Girlfriend in Superman Returns and that irritating vampire chick in Blade 3)...everything about her annoys me.

Oh, and for anyone who said Will Ferrel: You might want to see Stranger Than Fiction.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I won't repeat as there are a LOT of people mentioned in this list i agree with... but for me.. it has to be Charlie Sheen.

And yet he's still famous and Emilio Estevez isn't. *sigh*
