Tom Cruise and especially Michael Douglas are two I avoid. No complaints about their acting or their looks. I guess they just go for movie themes and scripts that aren’t my “cup of tea.” Tom Hanks is a GREAT actor but, again, the genres and scripts he goes for are seldom ones I enjoy.
Mel Gibson is one whom I never liked, and now detest.
Is there a thread for actors I DO want to see? Seems like a more pleasant topic! 
Shocked and amazed we’re 58 posts in, and Nicholas Cage has yet to be mentioned. Welp here he is, in all his terrible overacting and hammy glory.
I agree that many of his movies are horrible due to his overacting, but at the same times others are great for his overacting abilities. 
He was great in Moonstruck and I enjoyed him in Con Air.
I have been completely puzzled by his success. He was terrible in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (cheap overacting) and hasn’t got any better. I have to bite the bullet sometimes and put up with him in things like Once a Time in Hollywood, but otherwise I avoid him as much as I can.
As to Steve Martin, it depends on the role. He does smart guy well (Roxanne, L.A. Story), his dumb guy is trite. So I’m surprised by people who like The Jerk. Which brings me to …
Another down vote for Bernadette Peters. Egad, what a limited actress.
Tom Cruise was okayish early on but hasn’t been an actual actor in a long time. Ditto Will Smith.
Nicholas Cage has been quite hit or miss for some time. Mostly misses. But I don’t give up on something just cause he’s in it.
I would like to say I am boycotting Sean Penn because he’s a left-wing loon.
But, in truth, it’s just that he rarely makes movies on subjects that interest me.
His acting isn’t why I hate seeing his movies.
The person whose movies I will avoid forever is a nepo baby; Jaden Smith. What little I’ve seen (some of After Earth) has been terrible, and he seems like a piece of work in his own right.
That’s exactly why I won’t watch it.
I like Jim Carrey when someone has a leash on him and a firm grip. I liked The Mask and Liar, Liar.
But I hate people acting stupid for comedy
Then why?
Cameron Diaz, I actually do like her but for some reason I can’t unsee a red inflammation around her mouth area. I know it is not really there, but my brain just sees it. I wonder if I saw a movie one time where that was part of her character and now I can’t unsee it.
My god, we have some weird people here- People hate on Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams. Will Smith etc.
What’s next- Jimmy Stewart? Morgan Freeman? Betty White?
Which IMHO features one of his best lines:
MAX: If I keep making this face, will it get stuck that way?
FLETCHER: Uh-uh. In fact, some people make a good living that way.
Your comedic options must be extremely limited. 
And for a while, Helen Hunt, who seemed to be the every and the only white girl in movies, fortunately it seems that she has retired.
Tom Hanks has become a caricature of himself. He is apparently the only actor that can play a 50/60ish year old man, no one else is available. Every movie from Sully to Captian Phillips to what ever, you know what you are getting. You are getting a Tom Hanks movie.
If a new movie comes out with Tom, I know what I am getting and I don’t want to see it. He is no longer able to do anything else but play Tom Hanks.
What does this even mean?
I’ll raise my hand for Robin Williams. Yes, I know he’s considered one of the greats, but his acting has always rubbed me the wrong way. To use a phrase made famous by Family Guy, he seems to “insist upon himself”. He’s not overtly preachy, but none the less he comes across to me as being holier than thou in everything I’ve seen him in, even when he plays a villain like the time he was a guest star on Law & Order SVU.
As far as the others you mention, I enjoy watching the rest of those actors, with the exception of Will Smith in Men In Black, although that’s due to the movie, not his acting.
Every time I see his face now I picture him slapping Chris Rock. He’s no longer an actor to me; I can’t see beyond who he is. Same with Mel Gibson and his anti-sematic rant. Tom Cruise has his Scientology schtick, but honestly, I can still watch his movies a bit because he’s a good (if limited) actor.
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten that from him. My objection is that the “energy” he exudes just makes me tired of watching him fairly quickly. And it’s not the level of energy so much as the type of energy. I’m not saying he was a bad actor. I’m just saying that whatever he had going on, for the most part I’m not in sync with it.
Agnes Moorehead is difficult to look at.
