…they aren’t a favorite of yours. Bonus points if the movies aren’t even that popular.
For me, easily Kevin Bacon.
I love “The Big Picture”, “She’s Having a Baby” and “He Said, She Said”…and I like Kevin Bacon, but it’s not like I would say he’s in my top 20 actors.
Wrong thread.
My brother hates Bill Paxton. Yet suspiciously owns upwards of a dozen of his movies on DVD or blu-ray.
John Leguizamo. I really don’t like that guy, but it seems like he’s in every other movie that I own.
I have a rather alarming number of dvds in my collection that feature Bruce Willis. I don’t have strong feelings one way or another about his acting skills, he just happens to be in a lot of movies that I’ve liked.
My DVD collection includes Burn After Reading, The Descendants, Gravity, O Brother Where Art Thou?, Ocean’s Eleven, The Perfect Storm, Syriana and Up in the Air, all of which are wonderful films despite featuring some smug jerk named George Clooney (except for Ocean’s Eleven, in which his smug jerkiness fits the role perfectly.)
Owen Wilson. I have the two Shanghai Noon movies, two Cars movies, and Midnight In Paris, yet I find him insufferable in most things.
I obviously don’t have any of the films I think he’s insufferable in, of course.
I am pretty certain I don’t own any Vince Vaughn films.
Anne Hathaway, although most of her movies in my collection are because of my wife. In particular, I hate her in The Devil Wears Prada. She has this perpetually surprised look on her face through the entire movie and that’s the only expression she uses, and putting her side by side with Meryl Streep is one of the most lopsided onscreen pairings ever. She was awesome in Les Miz though, because I love seeing bad actors getting tortured and die.
I feel exactly the same way, including those same three movies, even in that order. Good call!
Can you imagine what she’s going to look like in about 20 years after she’s had all the bad plastic surgery? 
She is kind of the opposite of an ugly duckling: she was hot at age 17 on the sadly little-seen but very good FOX show Get Real; but then she got weird looking by the time she was barely into her twenties.
Also Bruce Willis for me. He’s a perfectly reasonable actor, but hardly a favorite in any way, yet appears in a significant number of movies that I like. I assume he just has similar tastes in scripts.
The only one that seems to stand out for me is Keanu Reeves. I have the Matrix trilogy and a few of his older items like Point Break. Somehow, I inherited a copy of Bill & Ted’s (not-so) Excellent Adventure. I have Speed, which is probably the movie that he does the best in.
I don’t dislike him necessarily, but I don’t feel like he usually adds much to a role.
I also have a ton of Schwarzenegger stuff. I don’t know if I’d say I dislike him either, but the older I get, the more I realize that he’s not really much of an actor… it’s just that they keep sticking him in roles where what he does works for the role. Commando is a perfect example. It’s so remarkably bad in so many ways and yet I can’t help but enjoy myself when it’s on.
I realized one day as I looked at my movie collection, “Huh…Jonathan Pryce is in a lot of these.” Certainly not something I set out to do.
