That quote was epic. It was trying to help all those afraid of potatos.
Oh, it was epic and hilarious, sure. It just didn't fit the moment at all.

Ice Cube, Brendan Fraser, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Edit: Oh, and John Malcovich. I hate that guy.

Paris Hilton.

She's just so bad...

Megan Fox is kinda pathetic. Shia LaBoeuf, the cast of Twilight, and the couple from Paranormal Activity aren't far behind.
These two nailed it.
I thought it was "worst actor," not "worst whore." I'll tell you what, if your whore makes you do it in the dark and then answers the phone mid-fellatio...

Seriously, Jake Gyllenhall or however you spell it. He's just terrible. Hayden Christensen. And let's go ahead and blanket all the actors from the "reality" shows. They're worse at faking it than Paris.

Well, it's hard to pick the absolute worst since you'd have to go into soap operas, and "one movie wonders" from direct to video fare. Truthfully the worst actor of all time is doubtlessly someone we've never heard of.

To be honest given the roles she plays Paris Hilton is not terrible compared to others I've seen doing similar things. The same could be said of Meagan Fox. Honestly I'm one of the few people who will probably say Meagan Fox did okay in "Jennifer's Body" but largely due to her body language and such when she was doing some of the predatory monster scenes. Honestly I think she did better there than she did trying to play the normal "sex kitten" type role as ironic as it sounds. Besides there are huge lists of "models and centerfolds turned actresses" like for example you'll notice that you've never heard much about the acting career of Shae Marks. :)

Honestly though these paragraphs are more or less me saying there are so many I can't name an all time worst since the names don't stick in my mind.

Now if you were to re-do the thread as "what big name actor/actress do you think is absolutly awful or overrated" while he's not current I'd probably nominate Pauly Shore who actually got numerous movies. Though in their defense most of them DID make me laugh at some point, and he did get to co-star with Tia Carrera.

But still, those who complain about Adam Sandler movies have probably never been subjected to Pauly Shore.

That guy who played the agent to Ben Stiller's character in Tropic Thunder is very bad. Can't quite remember his name!
Matthew McConahay (terribly spelled). He's supposed to be funny in that movie, and in my opinion he delivered. He's not bad, c'mon. There are far worse. How about Tyler Perry?

I hate Nicholas Cage. One of the worst actors in the world.
I don't think Nicholas Cage is bad, he just has a hard time picking decently written parts.
As for the original topic I would say that John Heard is the worst actor that has been in more than one leading role.

The really sad thing is...if you put Megan Fox and Paris Hilton in a story about Lesbian Vampires...who here would refuse to see it?
I would refuse to see anything with Paris naked, or really anything where a METAL pole isn't shoved through her head. She looks like a pubescent Big Bird. And I doubt Megan Fox has the fakin'-it power to make a lesbian scene worthwhile.

So me.

Will Ferrell infuriates me, due to his huge fanbase who think hes the greatest comedian of all time, despite the fact his movie carreer can be summed up with movies about some random sports and crotch gags.
Don't forget Baby Jesus jokes. And hillbilly jokes. And George W. Bush impersonations. And a wonderful work of comedic meta-fiction called "Strange Fiction." And Old School.

This is a toss up between Hayden Christiansen for douching up Darth Vader and Robert Pattinson for douching up vampires. It's like they were cloned or something. I mean that kind of ability to douche up the most awesome badasses in the history of badassery can't be learned, it's gotta be genetic.

... Really? Nobody's mentioned David Duchovny yet?
What do you base this on? Every role he ever seems to be in is some serious, paranoid, conspiracy guy. Not much room for personality there. :p

Would that be the same Matthew McConaughey who is type cast as a pretty boy in every film but for some reason was cast as the bald headed southern muscular killing machine in Reign of Fire?

I quite like him Sahara was good as was Reign.

I also like Nic Cage despite staring in The remake of the Wicker Man a film I wish could be erased from history.

Who do I hate? Ricky Gervaise that up his own arse greasey git!

... Yeah. Strange how Christian Bale has sort of the same problem, yet he is an (at least) acceptable actor, huh? :p
It's about vocal modulation and charisma, and Duchovny has neither.

I used to hate will smith due to the fact 90% of his films were basically will smith starring as will smith in a will smith movie about will smith, bbut i got over that and now hate will farrel and ricky gervais instead since neither can act for shit and just try to get by on there limited humour skills(not that most of will farrel's snl stuff was actually that funny to begin with) or smarmy git persona in gervias case(since he stopped being funny about 10 years ago)

I like Nicolais Cage when he is in serious actor mode when hes in goofy mode he just falls out of character fast ><

I think most actors mentioned can act but its their roles and screen plays that make them suck so badly...most of which is not their fault...

Hayden Christiansen (From Star Wars Episode 2/3, Jumper, and Shattered Glass)
He's pretty good in Awake.

Personally I don't like Anne Hathaway all that much.

Her and the Twilight people (cept Dakota Fanning...I think she's a good actress).

you do realize that, Eragon is probly his worst movie by far. he's a brilliant actor who's been in some amazing movies and he's got a sense of humour about it, i mean he was the star of Being John Malkovic which was too awesome to explain
That was actually my point. I'm not going to judge an actor solely by the fact that he had a slow few months and wound up in a turd like Eragon. But there is no functional difference between his performance in said turd and any other movie he's been in, imho. Yet 'Star Wars with dragons' is the one he gets ridiculed for the most.

And good on him for having a sense of humor about himself. But William Shatner has that too, and it doesn't make him a fantastic actor. :) The only variable is how much scenery he's given to chew up.
watch some of his other stuff, like his more serious stuff. i'm pretty sure he did Eragon for the money or he owed someone a favour or it was a "contractual obligation". much like Edward Norton in The Score, he did it cause he had no choice and the movie is pretty bad, sadly it has 2 good actors and 1 ok one
