The actor you hate and why?

You did not just insult Toni Collette. Take it back. Now. :imp:

John Travolta’s head got a little too big when he thought he didn’t need Tarentino or the Gibbs and tried putting L. Ron Hubbard books on the big screen. The man is truly brainwashed for thinking those steaming piles of science fiction poo could turn a buck.

Billy Crystal and Steve Guttenburg are two men who should have never been allowed out of the 80’s (or into it).

Gary Busey gives me the creeps.

I am a little more sympathetic toward women although Jennifer Lopez acts with about as much realism as $30 velvet Van Gogh painting from the back of an unmarked van.

Liv Tyler never getting another acting job again?

No problem. :unamused:

Nope. I meant actress. I think language should be concise, hence I differentiate between masseur and masseuse, waitress and waiter. Waitperson is not as descriptive.
This is just my personal preference. It isn’t gospel. :sunglasses:

And ask an actor of the feminine persuasion what her preference might be…

BTW, why don’t you say Doctress then?

I know this may be akin to the Japanese Bombing of Pearl Harbour or 9/11 in that I am waking a sleeping (well, hardly sleeping, as you are quite vigilant with that red pen of yours) giant and you may turn your magnifying glass that came with your OED on me and my humble posts…but it will keep me on my toes… :smiling_imp:

Sure, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise are no-brainers, but why am I the first one to mention John Travolta?
Ok, he was alright in Pulp Fiction, but other than that? Battlefield Earth anyone (I was dying)? And don’t even get me started on his connections to those Scientology bastards.

Mel Gibson is terrible too. The Patriot was the one and only movie I’ve ever left after 5 minutes. It was the second movie of a double-feature fortunately.

Julia Roberts is in the same league as Gibson. She can only play one role and that is herself; worst of all she is so damn successful at that. AAARRGH!

Ok, I am getting too worked up here.

Julia Roberts has never appealed to me as an actress. Angelina Jolie’s appeal is also lost on me.

Arnold should stick to comedy. I mean he should stick to films like “Junior” and “Twins” which were actually intended to be comedies.

Pierce Brosnan’s last Bond film was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Bring back Sean Connery.

Love Mel Gibson, Nic Cage, and Adam Sandler.

Hate to do any bubble-bursting, but I did mention J.T. ahead of you by 40 minutes.

But his latest acting is deserving of all the negative recognition he can get his hands on.

Lucky Numbers? Battlefield Earth? Domestic Disturbance? Michael? Phenomenon? Look Who’s Talking Too? Hell, Look Who’s Talking Now.

Repeat offender of bad taste…I’d sentence him to life on Hollywood Squares, at the bottom center where he’d be the pretty useless square. Maybe all the guys from “Welcome Back, Kotter” could help him find a job now that his on-screen career is washed up.

How about Kirsten Dunst? Jennifer Love Hewitt? For Actors, what about that grown up frat guy dork from “Stand by Me”. He was in Scream 2 and a bunch of crappy movies (not that Scream 2 wasn’t crappy). I can’t believe no one has named the king of shmuck actors, Ben Affleck.
Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise go without saying.
What about French Highlander dude (not including “Subway”)
I don’t think there is a logical way to explain why you hate someone. I like to think of it as one of those little pleasures that make life worth living.

She use to be okay, like in the Muriel’s Wedding days. Now she bothers me. Not her acting, per se. Just those faces she pulls MOST of the time. My friend says when they want someone to look overly distraught about something, they cast Toni Collette. It’s true.

Also: The boy who plays Harry Potter, and Kevin Spacey.
Not crazy about Sarah Jessica Parker either, but adore her cast mates on “Sex/City”.

Hugh Grant (huge grunt) takes the prize for the most hated. he is just a babbling fool that plays the same character over and over…

Relatedly, I always bypass movies with Tom Hanks (Tom Wanks) in them. Steven Segal and Jean Claude Van Demme are also very low on my list - their movies are just w$nkfeasts.

As for girls (not counting Hugh GRant), that stupid woman who plays The Nanny (can’t think of her name and don’t care), but if she is in anything then it won’t be watched by me.

Ever notice how Segal sounds like Fecal.
I like the Matrix, but Keanu “Party On” Reeves really ruins the whole thing.
Will Smith… Stick to our rappin you old Rotten Prince.

Oh, I’ve got a soft spot for Hugh Grant. It’s that other English actor I can’t stand, Rupert Everet. Colin Firth ok though.

How much time do you people devote to watching shite films? I can understand Nicholas Cage getting on your nads since he did a few good films. But Steven Segal? Julia Roberts? How can you hate them? What were you expecting when you got the video?

Not nearly enough mention of Keanu yet. I mean he simply can’t act. At all.

You know sometimes I think some ‘bad actors’ are pretty good if they stick to playing a certain type. Maybe they’re not really ‘acting’, but their presence is good (as long as they play that type. I mean Hugh Grant is great as the the self-absorbed cad (bJ’s Diary, About a Boy), Tom Cruise cruised well in Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut. Hell even Keanu did a good job of ‘Ted’. Can Takeshi Kitano ‘act’? I dunno, but he’s fantastic in his films.

i can only speak for myself when i say this, but when i was at the video store and saw the box for the movie with BOTH steven segal and julia roberts in it, i thought to myself, “this looks interesting…i wonder if this will be a great hollywood movie…”

and then a few hours later, i found myself unpacking the power drill, locking in the biggest bit I could find and applying it to my head.

Jeff Goldblum is a one-trick pony and has irritating mannerisms.

I’m pleased to see Brad Pitt stayed off everyone’s most hated…he’s soooo sexy, AND he can act. Although he’s made a couple of bad choices recently. Still…luv him.

My bads are KEANU and Ms. Diaz.

Call me a sentimental old fool, but I never get tired of watching A River Runs Through It, though not because of Brad Pitt – the Tom Skerrit character reminds me of my dear old dad.

How could we forget David Hasselhoff??? :blush:

david hasselhoff is an actor?? I thought it was a brand of expensive cigarettes…

Yeah, but you’re right, he was fantastic in that Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure flick! :wink:
