Gwyneth Paltrow. 1st off, she’s ‘Hollywood Royalty’ (the daughter of Blythe Danner) and she STILL can’t get anywhere until she starts dating flavor of the month Brad Pitt. Hell, I think her whole career is BASED on that relationship.
Speaking of Hollywood Royalty, anoone notice a disturbing trend in Hollywood to cast because of who your parents are?
Bashed?! I wanna shake your hand.
I don’t have anything against comedians becoming actors per se, but cynical is a good word for how Williams makes me feel, particularly when he goes all warm and heartfelt. (ick!)
There are plenty but the first one I thought of was Meg Ryan. I never liked her but the trailer for proof of life put me over the edge. Does this woman do NOTHING but mug?
My 5 least favorite actors (in descending order):
I also have a serious dislike for Keanu Reeves’s work, but I limited myself to the top 5.
Actually, Drew Barrymore probably got the part in Charlie’s Angels because one of the producers was Drew Barrymore.
James Caan. Although I can’t quantify it in any way.
OK. So she’s not just a bad actor. She’s a vain bad actor.
At least Tori Spelling gets her dad to get her parts.
**Kim Cattral
Helen Hunt
Calista Flockhart

I’m drawing a blank on male actors at the moment…unless you want to count comedian/actors like…
Richard Lewis
Robert Wuhl
Right, right. Thanks for pointing out that you can’t be overweight and beautiful. Kudos to you! :rolleyes:
Anyway…
My list of very popular actors/actresses that make me want to hurl includes, but is not limited to, the following: (in no particular order)
Tea Leoni
Sandra Bullock
Helen Hunt
Leonardo DiCaprio
Courtney Cox
Alicia Silverstone
Pauly Shore. I can’t believe he gets work.
Clint Howard. The only reason he gets work is because of his brother. Oh, and Gentle Ben.
EGAD!!!..how can you not enjoy Jonny Depp’s work, it’s like saying you hate everything that David Lynch has ever done(if one is to say, one is also subject to a long and not very enjoyable death)
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. are dating. Can you imagine what ugly, untalented children they are going to have?
Halbermensch:
I’ve seen *What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Ed Wood, Don Juan Demarco, Donnie Brasco, * and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The first four movies are great, but his “manneristic” and spastic acting in the last one killed it for me. Now, every time I hear people fawning over him, I get the shivers… It’s a pet peeve of mine, I guess, being that I’m completely surrounded by Johnny Depp fans…
Oh and back to the lists, definitely forgot Alicia Silverstone. And though I used to like him, Hugh Grant is starting to grate on my nerves.
Uh, Anne Heche? Vomit!
also rans:
Oprah (even though she’s not really an actress anymore) Oprah’s mission, now thoroughly accomplished, is to enrage and alienate everything male in the world.
The guy who played “Big Pussy” on the Soprano’s. That speech impediment coupled with the accent is terribly distracting. Please, one or the other. I’m glad they killed him off.
Oh, and Happy Holidays! 
Alec Baldwin wins the award for me. He…makes…every…phrase…seem…so…dramatic.
Ah, what the hell, I nominate the whole damn Baldwin clan.
John Travolta. How can people forget that he once made Perfect and Moment by Moment?
Meg Ryan --how i hate this --ugh! how horrible she is in movies, you have no depth or range whatsoever! And just because you are a blond with blue eyes does not automatically make you beautiful!
Anastasia is one of my favorite movies but YOUR voice does not cut it, you have turned Anastasia into a ValleyGirl! When this movie is rereleased and remastered, i hope they take out your part and find somebody else for it
ANYBODY BUT YOU!!!
Denise Richards is just like you, only brunette and we have seen quite enough of your breasts. NO one is impressed anymore, now GO AWAY!!!
Susan Sarandon is a good actor but honey, lay off the preaching!!! if i want it i will go find Oprah Winfrey!
am i crazy or is OpraH unbelievably sanctimonious anymoe?
i believe that all the other actors i despise have already been mentioned.
[ol][li]Debra Winger[/li][li]Jim Carrey[/li][li]Meg Ryan[/li][li]Tom Hanks[/li][li]Robin Williams[/li]Jack Nicholson[/ol]
Hey, I have too disagree here. I hated her for the same reasons until I actually saw some of her movies, besides Seven. I saw her on the PBS show where they interview actors (it’s really good, but I’m blanking on the name), and decided to check out some of her films. Emma and Sliding Doors are incredible. Then I saw Shakespeare in Love, which is my most favorite movie of all, and she was beyond incredible. She was breathtaking. She was awe-inspiring. She was an actress.
And she’s a hell of a lot more classy than Little Miss Love Hewitt (hijack: isn’t there a universal law that if you have “love” in your name, people will hate you? :rolleyes: )
Jury’s in: I think Gwyneth is incredible talented and has a huge future in front of her. I loved her even more after I read a quote of hers - along the lines of: “Who’s that blonde girl everyone is talking about? I’m so sick of hearing about her hair, her clothes, her shoes. I wish Gwyneth Paltrow would just get out of the spotlight.”
Jennifer Aniston: Gawd I hate this woman! She can’t DO anything. And I don’t find her attractive at all. Thank you.
Keenau Reeves: From speed, “Cans. They were cans.” Hell yeah, buudy! He might be a nice guy and all, but no acting abiltiy what-so-ever.
Meg Ryan: Don’t even get me started.
But, IMHO, this guy tops the list:
Bobby De Niro. Hold on, quit yelling and give me a secong. Jeesh. There was a time and place he could hold his own, but, let’s face it, he is pimping himself out big time. He’s in 3-4 movies a year…what’s the last “good” movie he was in…Brazil?
I’m not overly fond of the young turks, either…a la Ben A., Matt D., Gwyneth P.,Vince V. etc.
One young turk I do like is that Vincent D’Onofrio. He kicks it one time.
I got a big “Amen” for Robin Williams. And of course I dislike Oprah, for the same reasons I dislike Thomas Kinkade; pop angels; those “Desire,” “Teamwork,” etc. inspirational business posters; and the %*@#ing Celestine Prophecy, but I regard her more as an institution than an actor.
Anyway, my own contribution to the list is Richard Gere. The man is utterly charmless. He’s a pretty man, and he’s got the appearance of intellectualism down pretty well, but he is incapable of making me like him even a little bit when he’s onscreen. Thing is, I’ve never met a woman who understands what I’m talking about when I express these sentiments, and indeed, most men don’t either. I must now ask: Am I the only person in the world who thinks Richard Gere is just off-putting? Can I get a witness?
