Actors/Actresses You Can't Stand

Well, for me, it’s a long list. In fact, all of Hollywood can fall into the ocean, IMHO. But, perhaps SDopers less cynical than I must have some actors/actresses on their hated lists? - Jinx

Only one I regularly make fun of: Nicolas Cage. Pompous, arrogant, self-loving self-important over-rated windbag.

Raising Arizona and Valley Girl. Everything else is crap.

I loathe Meg Ryan, and her ditzy little smirk.

I hate Brad Pitt-- in almost every film he looks like a suicidal zombie.

I deplore the existence of Keanu Reeves. The man could not act his way out of a wet paper bag.

I save my loathing for the really deserving:

Steven Seagal
Martin Lawrence
Chris Tucker
Chris Kattan
Madonna

I’ll probably think of some more later…

Drew Barrymore
Steven Seagal
Lara Flynn Boyle
Catherine Zeta Jones
Freddie Prinze Jr
Russell Crowe

These people have just rubbed me the wrong way during interviews. I’m not denying any talent some of them may have.

Jim Carry
Richard Gere
Lucy Lu
Tori Spelling!!

ANY… repeat… ANY celebrity who feels the need to slam their political causes and affliations down my throat…

They can kiss it…

and

I REFUSE to support ANY of their MOVIES/albums…

These people spend their life "PRETENDING and PLAYACTING.
Am I supposed to be impressed with their “insights” and “intelligence” ???

NOPE

Martin Lawrence: I hate his voice. That “comic” scream he does sets my teeth on edge. Plus his stand up isn’t funny.

Russell Crowe: I didn’t much care for him thanks to his “foightin’ round the world” schtick. When he pulled out of recording a 10 minute spot in a charity appeal for the Bali explosion after a film crew had flown to Mexico at their own expense because he was “too busy” (cite) he went into boycott territory. Not that I"m missing much!

Nicolas Cage
Leonardo DiCaprio
George Clooney

Steven Seagal… the antithesis of humility!

Jennifer Lopez

I have always thought that certain movie poster should bear a warning label that says:


MAY CONTAIN KRIS KRISTOFFERSON

Sean Connery. He’s the only actor I actively detest. I’ve hated him ever since I saw him say that he thinks it’s OK to “slap a woman around a bit” (or, as he said it, “schlap a woman around a bit”). I think Sean needs to be “schlapped” around a bit, every day. :stuck_out_tongue:

Tesa

Will Smith & Melanie Griffith !!!
Sorry, I need to rush off to the bathroom and be sick now.

Hey, I LOVE Keanu Reeves because he can’t act his way out of a wet paper bag! I saw The Devil’s Advocate, and while Pacino was phonin’ it in, Keanu was trying oh-so-hard to be an actor. Oh, his mom must be so proud of him! I say put him in more Bill & Ted and Matrix movies, and leave 'im there where acting talent doesn’t matter.

Now…

As for me, I dislike Heather Graham. I think she’s a passable actress, at best (maybe she’d be a good Extra), and her eyes just… bug me. They’re way too big. Like an Anime character. I’m always worried that a random speck of dust is going to land on the multiple square meters of surface area that her eyes have and cause them to rupture, spilling gallons upon gallons of eye-gunk all over the place.

I don’t watch celebrity interviews as a rule. However, certain actors just bug me – enough that I avoid their movies unless its a movie I really want to see. Two examples:

Meg Ryan – Yuck. Who the hell decided she was America’s Sweetheart? She obviously believes the hype though – she’s constantly got that “aren’t I cute?” look on her goofy face. Makes me want to smack her. Fortunately I rarely have to subject myself to her because all of her movies seem to be crap I’m not interested in.

Ben Affleck – He looks like a date rapist. Someone else on the board said that first, BTW. But it sums Mr. Affleck up perfectly – that entitled look – “I’m so handsome, suave, and smart, I deserve everything I want…” Him, unfortunately, I occasionally have to see because I am often interested in movies he’s in. I like Kevin Smith movies, so I’m stuck seeing him in them. And wild horses (or the presence of Mr. Affleck) won’t be able to keep me away from “Daredevil.”

:eek:

… marry me?

I’m sure I’d dislike more actors and actresses if I knew them in real life, or had something more reliable than tabloid journalism upon which to base my impressions. But on the basis of their screen personmae alone, I cannot stand:
Bill Murray
Eddie Murphy

The Saturday Night Live smarm squad.

There are many others, but:

Will Smith (zero talent)
Michael Douglas (for some reason, I feel like punching him)

Martin Lawrence: Boy I’d like to smack that guy
Jennifer Lopez: I’m not sure why, I just wish she’d go the hell away
Freddy Prinze Jr: Man, I’d like to smack him too
Ben Affleck: SMACK
