Maybe because they have accents. Maybe because they have a nasal twang. Maybe just because…
I don’t know why, but for some reason, I can’t stand to hear Donald Sutherland talk. There’s something about his voice that makes him seem ridiculous to me in leading man roles. I also don’t like to hear Jimmy Smits. Can’t think of any women off-hand.
Melanie Griffith. I just want to smack her.
That’s funny, I really like Donald Sutherland’s voice. Hmm. I’ll have to think of some nominees.
Vin Diesel. He has a weird affectation I find annoying. I’ve only seen him on the Letterman show, I have no interest in his movies.
I’ll see your Melanie Griffith and raise you a Jennifer Tilly.
Dustin Hoffman, I’d hate to have to listen to him give a lecture.
Amy Madigan. It’s the accent.
Fran Drescher
and I second Jennifer Tilly
Does Gilbert Gottfried count as an actor? If so, I’d like to nominate him. If not, I’ll go with Bronson Pinchot.
I’ve always thought the new Star Treks had some terrible-sounding female actors: Marina Sirtis, Gates McFadden, Nana Visitor, and Jennifer Lien may be better actors than they appear, but their voices keep getting in the way.
Callie Thorne. First she hadda go and ruin two seasons of Homicide, and now she’s taken up narrating in documentaries and such. Such a dumb, insinuating, muttering tone, takes you totally away from the Civil War or whatever she’s talking about.
I also nominate Gilbert Gottfried. One more person mentions him and we can close the thread, right?
Cameron Diaz. She sounds like an annoying Valley Girl and her laugh reeeeally bugs me. Her Inside The Actors Studio appearance was painful.
Joey Lauren Adams. I can’t stand that scratchy voice thing.
Joan Rivers. No explanation required.
And, of course, Ahnold. “Az a Caleeforneeuhn I beleeve in da foochah of Caleeforneeuh.”
Oh! I thought of a woman. Susan Sarandon. She sounds like sandpaper.
Marge Simpson and by extension, Patty and Selma. Also, Peggy Hill.
Oh, you mean real people?
Geraldo Rivera.
I think we’ll need a runoff election, Gilbert Gottfried against Jennifer Tilly.
AIEEEEE! Imagine the horror of the campaign speeches! The earmuffs! They do nothing! :eek:
Andie McDowell and Mary Steenburgen. I refuse to watch anything with either of these two in it. I can’t desribe very well what it is about them but it’s almost like baby talk.
My sperm count drops every time I hear Rosie Perez speak.
Denzel Washington. He has a barely noticable lisp, but not the type that’s caused by the tongue. It sounds like he has giant teeth that he’s trying to talk around. Or like someone with a new set of dentures.
Vin Diesel was the first person I thought of when I saw this thread. I’ve seen a few of his movies and his voice wrecks the whole thing for me. It is almost like he is faking it to sound more tough or something.
Word.
