Most annoying actor & actress?

Who, in Hollywood, bothers you the most? What actor and actress would you love to see completely erased from existance (or at least celluloid)?

I think I’d have to say:

Female-Gwynneth Paltrow. “Hi, Mister Speilberg? Can I be in ‘Hook’ since my daddy and you are friends? I can! Great! Do I have to audition? No? Thank you, Mister Speilberg!”

Male-Nicholas Cage. The man is the SAME CHARACTER in everything he does! He should, IMHO, NEVER have won the Oscar for “Leaving Las Vegas.” It should have gone to Sean Penn for “Dead Man Walking.”

Five words: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Female: Annette Bening

Male: Robin Williams

Guess I have a low tolerance for screeching histrionics and shameless mugging.

All time? Debra Winger and Robin Williams.

Currently? Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks.

I’ll have to agree whole heartedly (or is that one word?) with the Nicholas Cage nomination. The only actor whose movies I won’t see on principle.

Tom Hanks though! Granted Forrest Gump was godawful but its hard for me to find the huge offensiveness quotient.

My nominations go to two slightly less prominent figures. David Arquette (How much do you think Courteney is regretting that?) and the inestimably awful Fairuza Balk.
One only has to see “The Island of Dr. Moreau” to know what I’m talking about.

Toby Macguire

Angelina Jolie

Michael Douglas

And, the one who will unfailingly make me spit and rail, the exception that proves the rule for all worthy talent out there:

Woody Harrelson

Fran Dresher (Or however you spell her name) The Nanny is a curse upon all who own a TV…

As for guys, I can’t think of any off the top of my head, though Brad Pitt tends to irk me… <ducks>

Alec Baldwin.

All time-Christopher Lambert and/or Tom Cruise and Darryl Hannah/Kim Bassinger/Julia Roberts.

Current-Leonardo Decaprio and Amanda Peet.

Tom Cruise. Easily.

Female? Harder. Lemme get back to you on that one.

Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts

He’s not a hollywood actor, but there’s a guy who presents programmes on British TV called Bradley Walsh. I literally cannot watch a programme if he’s on it- he makes me run screaming from the room.

As for Hollywood actors, i would have to go with Michael Douglas. Get off my screen you horrible, slimey man.

Actresses: I second Julia Roberts and add Demi Moore.

Fran

Alan Alda and Fran Drescher - he’s obnoxious and she’s annoying

Kirstie Alley and Tim Allen.

Actress would definitely be Lorraine Bracco. She plays Dr. Melfi on the Sopranos. I love that show except the parts where she comes on. She has the most annoying voice I have ever heard. I want to throw things at the TV every time she starts whining.

Actor would have to be Leonardo DeCaprio. (I am sure I spelled his name wrong. I don’t feel like looking it up though.) I watched about 20 minutes of The Beach yesterday and couldn’t take anymore.

Cameron Diaz. She’s annoying, all simpering about how shy she is and how embarrassed she was to talk in front of people. Yeah, sure, whatever you say, Cameron…

For males, I’d have to vote Dylan McDermott from the Practise. He may not be a big movie star, but with a little luck, he never will be. I can’t stand him.

Andy Kauffman

Meg Ryan. She plays the same character over and over and over. If she would just learn to comb her hair, I might like her a little better.

Tom Cruise. Same thing. Can’t stand him.

Not really actors, but celebrities I can’t stand:
Joan Rivers
Kathy Lee Gifford

Bruce Willis in Hudson Hawk

Helen Hunt post-Mad About You

Meg Ryan post-When Harry Met Sally

Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Paul Reiser in pretty much anything

The cast of Friends post season two

Kenneth Branagh when he’s not doing Shakespeare

Keanu Reeves when he’s doing Shakespeare

Hugh Grant overdoing the bumbling Englishman bit

but the mother of all screen annoyances - Gwyneth Paltrow. Somehow the girl irks the hell outta me. And as luck would have it, she always ends up being cast opposite my favourite actors (Jude Law, Cate Blanchett, Juliette Binoche etc). There is no God.

Jennifer Tilly- Her voice makes me want to jump off a bridge.

Antonio Banderas- Need I say more?

Steven Segal and Jean Claude Van Damme- I’d like to see them fight to both of their deaths.

Any athlete who can’t act (pretty much all of them except for Carl Weathers)

Molly Ringwald- I realize you can only see her on Lifetime these days, but she’s still annoying.
