Hayden Christensen was not in the first Star Wars prequel because the Anakin character was only a little boy in that pic. Anyway HC was very good in Shattered Glass and Life as a House. I think that you have to blame his stiff performance in SW on George Lucas. That is how Lucas wanted him and also Natalie Portman to act.
What? No mention of Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw yet?
Oh wait, someone did mention zombies…
Christopher Lambert and Emily Procter.
I will defend David Caruso as the above-mentioned analysis of Jack Lord pretty much covers it. I think a stolid leading man with little emotions in a police procedural is meant to be that way, so as not to detract from the lurid crimes. There would be too much going on in a show.
Same with Hayden Christensen in Star Wars, where he was specifically instructed during the filming NOT to imbue Darth Vader with any warm n’ fuzzy emotions.
This was worth resurrecting just for that Lindsay Crouse trailer. Priceless.
No, she’s that way in everything I’ve seen her in. I don’t know how the hell she gets work [insert chauvenistic reference to illicit sexual acts here as needed]. She had one expression on her face. One. You could drop a bowling ball on her foot and still she would not emote.
One of my pet peeves, here. They really aren’t remaking Hawaii Five-0. They’re using the title and the names of the characters, and then making an entirely different TV series. Fercrisakes, they changed a male character to a hot girl. How can anyone call that a remake?
So what? That doesn’t mean that actor hasn’t got any talent. Jack did a comedy film called “Ride to Hangman’s Tree” and was very versatile in it, however, he didn’t do comedy as a main line of acting like others did. Dorothy is judging him by an assumption that he couldn’t do a romantic comedy, and judging an actor by a role they didn’t play is not an accurate way to judge talent.
Robert Beltran (Chakotay from ST:VOY) and Ben Stein.
EDIT: sorry, read the OP but not the title, didn’t notice it was actor and actress. I… can’t think of an actress who’s that bad off-hand…
Michael O’Hare from Babylon 5. My god…
William Hurt. The guy would make a fine mallet. I have to agree on January Jones; the woman is lucky people don’t set their drinks on her head.
I only have a male entry: Wendell Corey. What do I win?
He died of cirrohosis of the liver, but I think that was a cover up for Dutch elm disease.
He was enjoyable as John Hodiak’s wife…uh, sidekick in Desert Fury.

So, she gives you wood?
Keanu Reeves (in Point Break) and Sofía Vergara (in New Years Eve)
I had to turn away from my keyboard/screen as coffee dribbled out of my mouth. Not quite a spit-take, but funny.
Adrianna Mills – she’s absolutely fascinating
Yea, Gary Cooper gets my vote. *Very *wooden. I do not understand why people consider him a good actor. He is the reason the film adaptation of The Fountainhead sucked, IMO.
Considering the source material, I wouldn’t blame Cooper so much…
Amen. I’ve yet to see her do anything other than make that “dazed fish” face.
