Worst actor/actress that still manages to get work?

My vote goes for Casper Van Dien, but I’m pretty sure that’s only because I just saw this stupid thing.

Who are the actors and actresses that are A) suck so bad you can’t believe they get work, yet B) still continue to get work? :confused:

I believe there is only one correct answer this question, and it’s not only an actor, but an “academy award winning” actor.

Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Ugh!

Charlize Theron
Halle Berry
Keanu Reeves
Jennifer Lopez

All really nice to look at – until they start “acting”.

Patrick Swayze he’s just plain bad.

Wow, two Oscar winners and a Golden Globe nominee? Really?

Melanie Griffith
Kevin Costner
Hayden Christensen*
Josh Hartnett
Ben Affleck
Juliette Lewis
*I’ve heard that his performance in Shattered Glass takes him off this list, but I haven’t seen it.

Ashley Judd.

When my best friend and I walked out of the theater where we saw Double Jeopardy, I said; “That was the worst acting I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen Madonna movies.”

I think that explains Casper, too. He’s purrty.

Did you see ‘Monster’? You might feel differently about Charlize Theron.

Although, I don’t think it was a perfect performance like many seem to think, just very good. Far, far, better than anything else she’s done that I’ve seen, that’s for sure. Certainly, she at the very least deserves to get roles now.

C’mon, who’s gonna play those trailer-trash girl roles if she doesn’t?

I’ve always said that Keanu Reeves must have the greatest agent in the history of Hollywood. How he keeps landing all those great rolls just boggles my mind.

“Whoa!”

HumptysHamhole has obviously not seen Monster.

And Revtim needs to see it again, if he thinks Charlize’s performance was only “very good.”

Oh, and my vote goes to Keanu Reeves. Is he really that good-looking that he deserves the roles he gets? OK, I have to give him credit for learning enough martial arts to fight convincingly in the Matrix flicks. But man, he is not a good or even decent actor.

Adam Sandler
Will Farrell
Rob Schneider
etc.

But if you want to talk someone with pretensions to seriousness, the king of them all is Bill (“Game Over, Man!”) Paxton.

The queen is Fran Sternahgen (Carter’s grandmother on ER).

I would have put Hayden Christensen on the list until I saw Shattered Glass. Not that he’s some genius, but he displayed far more talent there than in Attack of the Clones.

Andie MacDowell- Ew. Ew. Ew. I want to like her, I really do. But her acting does painful things to me.

Eh, in some scenes I found her a little unconvincing. I don’t remember well enough to describe exactly what was happening, but one or two times I could see “acting”.

It is possible I was paying too close attention, because of the hype about her performance.

Gotta go with the Queen of Nepotism, Tori Spelling.

Julia “bucky” Roberts
Sandra “buttocks” Bullock
Kevin Cosner
Mel Gibson

Not that I’m a Judd fan exactly, but do you think you’d like her better if she didn’t consistently pick such shitty movies? She has staked a pretty fair claim to the title, “Queen of the Implausible Thriller.” And, of course, she was in the “Ya-Ya” movie, which is a whole different kettle of suck.

Ben Afleck
Anybody from SNL since Bill Murray
Kevin Costner
Anybody in any movie made by George Lucas since The Last Crusade
