Ellen Barkin. There is something very odd about her nose and eyes.

Chris Pine

Possibly the most slapable face in Hollywood?

He made the recent Star Trek movie unwatchable for me.

Decent picture of Robin? I was expecting a side shot or one with her hair conveniently covering a lot of her face. Instead-- not found.

No, I think the problem is that he’s Chris Brown and you want to punch in his teeth because of it. And because he beat up Rihanna.

ETA: But mostly because he’s a smug, entitled bastard who you just need to punch.

His face is too low - his proportions are all off. His eyes should be about an inch higher on his head.

Malcolm McDowell is awesome. But he had to go grey to get there. I don’t understand this but I hope the same effect works for me. 😛

Are we doing men now? Because [Aragorn](https://www.google.com/search?q=aragorn&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=Q9&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=BTlHT6iMLs6CtgeErYiWDg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=573) needs to wash his frakking hair. It really pulled me out of the movie.

He’s in Hawaii 5-O? didn’t know that, but I’ve got the same feelings for him since I watched “Jade”

but isn’t he ginger?

You’re thinking of Scott Caan, although David Caruso could use a punch, just for good measure.

I have no idea how Caan has managed to get work. He looks like a horse’s arse, his hair is fucking ridiculous, and i’ve never found him at all convincing as an actor.

Maybe it helps that his dad is James Caan.

[Scott Caan](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004790/bio)

Edit: Beaten by mhendo.

I also hate his hair, but I think he’s a decent actor. Lauren German was the weak link on that show this season and thankfully she has been put out to pasture.

John C. Reilly and William Macy are not pleasing to the eye. They ought to team up and make a movie with Sarah Jessica Parker and Rene Zellwegger. A 3-D Imax movie.😃

Sorry, my mistake. :smack: I meant David Caruso **AND** the H5O guy.

I’ve disliked Caruso since he quit NYPD Blue.

Speaking of ugly people in Imax 3-D, we went to see “The Matrix II” in Imax way back when - we came to the conclusion that Lawrence Fishburne is not a guy whose face needs to be viewed at four storeys large. :eek:
