Which actors do you dislike to watch?

David Caruso. What he does is so bizarre to me that all I do is laugh.

Paul Giamatti and Will Ferrell. I feel so much guilt for disliking these two actors.

Ferrell. Other than Elf, in which he’s just barely tolerable in a bizarre role, he’s so aggressively, excessively… unfunny that I’ve turned off at least two of his movies after a few minutes.

Adam Sandler, for much the same reason.

January Jones is pretty minor, but she’s glitternails on a blackboard to me.

Renee Zellweger is irritating in every single role.

I agree at least a little bit with almost every prior post, as well.

Travolta wins my vote for “The Person Who Has Gone The Farthest With The Least Talent” Award.

Maybe because she comes off as a superbitch, both on screen and off? I don’t mind her enough to avoid her movies (few that there are) but I can see why you don’t like her.

Bill Paxton. I know, I know. You all agree but thought he went without saying. Well, I think it’s worth saying. Bill Paxton, times 1000
[/QUOTE]

This is how I feel about Nicolas Cage. Paxton is a charming Olivier compared to that half melted wax figure.

Keira “The Jaw that Devoured London” Knightley has become unwatchable to me. The first thing I remember seeing her in was the first Pirates of the Caribbean. I thought she did okay and the “determined set of her jaw” was due to her feisty character. Then I saw her in other things and realized she only has the one expression.

Rosemarie Dewitt and her stupid bangs elicits boredom bordering on annoyance.

Meg Tilly: this is what happens when one universe bleeds over into another.

Kevin Kline. Can’t put my finger on it.

AMPAS could award an Oscar for “Most Overweening Self-regard” and it would be one of the highlights of the night.

Steve Buscemi, John C. Reilly, and William H. Macy. Not that they are bad actors, but they are all so homely, it’s hard to look at them.

And Adam Sandler. I just can’t. Smarmy jerk, why is he so popular?

Charlie Sheen seemed like such a complete p*ss from the get go, and then somehow he became an even bigger pr!ck. Red Dawn, Platoon, Wall Street, the Rambo clones, etc, etc, etc. I just hated having to put up with his performance in an otherwise good movie. They’re much like how Point Break could have been classic were Kenau Reeves not bumbling his way through that.

Ditto on Christian Slater. While he was great in True Romance he’s sucked since.

Ethan Hawke. He needs to be the loser in a boxing movie.

Meryl Streep

I know. Great Actress.

I liked her in “Death Become Her” but for some reason her face squigs me out.

Tom Cruise. I’ve loathed him since the first time I saw him (All the Right Moves), and I was a teen at the time, so I was the intended audience to see him as a heartthrob.

His descent into batshit crazy has validated me.

Surely I’m not alone in the crowd by having a problem watching Crispin Glover :stuck_out_tongue: – and that was even before he imploded on Letterman that time.

All I can add is that his parents can’t be totally blameless – check out his middle name!

Shia LeBoeuf needs slapping.

Bradley Cooper - he must be good, he wins awards and stuff, but he raises my hackles whenever he appears on screen.

Adam Sandler. Probably don’t need to explain this one.

Elizabeth Shue on CSI. She’s always smirking. Always.

Ha! I get all the way to the end of the posts and someone has beaten me to CSI!

But I don’t care about Shue. It’s Jorja Fox with her weird facial expressions and rising her tone at the end of every sentence. It sometimes feels like she is only acting out of spite for the people who hired her.

I also hate to see Richard Brooks, AKA Paul Robinette from Law & Order. Not for his acting but just for his voice. It sounds like he is speaking through something covering his mouth. I cannot hear him!!!

I know it’s completely unAmerican, but… I can’t stand Jimmy Stewart. I hate his voice, his mannerisms, his acting, but especially his voice.

Yeah, him too. Beating the shit out of Madonna did not endear him to me, no matter his politics. No wonder he’s good at playing assholes.

He was folksy, in a time when that was something people liked.

I concur with Sandler, Ferrell, etc.

Angelica Huston
John Huston
Orson Welles

Of late, I’m sad to say that Robert Duvall has just become an annoying caricature of himself, using facial and verbal tics to pass for acting.

Ethan Hawke

Okay - I dont even know who or what he is so I cannot fairly comment only to say, I recently heard he holds Nicholas Cage in great respect. So that GOTTA count for something since Cage is the worse ever. A straight series of turkey-bomb-movies.
Not only an atrocious actor, but the movies he is in (even if he were not to star in them) somehow are atrocious. Its almost supernatural as if they finish planning a movie and last minute its time who is to play the lead - they choose Cage and OF A SUDDEN the whole premise, everything …turns shit. Just by Cage’s association.

Cage is the worst.

Someone should post a youtube clippy of the “climax” to The Wickerman and ALL SHALL BE REVEALED.

Actors that only “play” themselves and themselves are dead boring:
Keanu Reeves
That one that played in Cider House Rules and Spiderman - wotshisface.

I know that many people think he’s a comic genius, but I just can’t tolerate Jim Carrey. To me he’s so overly-exaggerated in both his comedy and his dramatic moments that he’s an immediate channel-changer for me.

I did find him tolerable in “The Eternal Sunshine…”, but would still have preferred a different actor in the role.
