Actors that should'nt of made it.......but did!

Can't understand the hype around Keano Reeves. Wooden actor no acting skills worthy of any note yet he has made big money in films like the Matrix.

Ruins any film he has ever appeared in.

Hugh Jackman is another. I don't get excited by his movies at all.

Brad Pitt nothing special

Nicolas Cage - dire

Colin Farrell
Seth Rogen
Vince Vaughn


Come to think of it, these are actors that I just don't like.

The career of Orlando Bloom is one that is of constant bafflement to me. Has all the range of a cupboard.

 Personally, I think you're being a little harsh on cupboards.

I was talking about a particularly untalented cupboard.

Adam Sandler. But keeps making films that make above $100M in the US. Who pays to go and see him??

 Ah I see. Perhaps one that I put up? Door-doesn't-close sort of job.

Was going to mention Sandler. Really needs to just stop making films soon, but some crazy fools just keep funding him. It's a travesty that he somehow convinced Al Pacino to appear alongside him.

Its not rocket science as to why Sandler keeps making films but if I mention it this thread gets locked and I get banned.

better to keep quite methinks.

I thought it was something infinitely less sinister but no less disturbing....namely that there are vast numbers of stupid people in the world who think he's funny.

Watched Hotel Transylvannia a while back and quite enjoyed it until I realised Sandler did Dracula's voice. Suddenly, the film was garbage and I won't recommend it to anyone. Perhaps I just dislike him more than is good for me

I liked The Wedding Singer and The Waterboy.

His films do have one thing in common. He always plays the nice guy..............I think.

Jim Carrey,
Hugh Grant,
Will Smith.
Orlando Bloom.
Bradley Cooper.

Kieria Knightley,
Jennifer Lawrence,
Mila Kunis.

Michael Caine?

Hugh Grant is a great shout.

He made 1 film but is more well known for getting gobbled by Destiny or whatever her name is.

sorry Stella don't be offended.

I did not want to offend you as you are a female and did not know how you would rake my comment regarding Hugh Grant and a lady of the night.

I just want to make this abundantly clear that I am in NO WAY a sexist. I believe in equal rights for all men and woman or woman and men if you like. Everyone deserves opportunity in life and woman are of no exception.

Katherine Heigl could be on the list
 
She just plays the same parts in every film.
 
But damn, she a fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine piece a ass.

Surely this is pretty much the same thread as "actors you dislike with a passion"...

Until lately she's been the off-screen voice of Meg Griffin on "Family Guy;"  she seems to be trying to branch out to on-screen appearances.  I foresee a short career in rom-coms, unless she does more girl-on-girl scenes with A-list actresses.

Oh hell yeah!!!

I dont  think Stella is a female.
Think I read on another thread that someone thought he was, then he corrected them.

Mila Kunis, the actress they'll go to when they want someone for the "Angeline Jolie" Biopic

Well he is an inch taller than the average Englishman, so I guess that does make him a tallboy.

Got to disagree with Brad Pitt. Think the guy sometimes gets a rough deal because he happens to be good looking, but he can genuinely act, and is always prepared to challenge himself with roles as different as the ones he took on in se7en, fight club, burn after reading and moneyball. To put him up alongside the likes of Hugh Grant (admittedly he plays the bumbling English romantic very well, but how many movies can you make out of repeating the same role over and over) or Orlando Bloom (definition of "smell the fart" acting) seems a bit harsh IMO.

I always thought Keanu Reeves was perfectly cast in the Matrix. But Jonathon Harker, perhaps less so... I thought he was good in A Scanner Darkly, possibly because it was made into animation after shooting...

Yeah Brad Pitt is a brilliant actor. No film proves it more than Snatch.

I think every Aussie actor who appeared on Neighbours or Home and away and then insplickably (forgive spelling in rush) found fame in Hollywood should be on this list.

That includes Russel Crowe - can't act
That guy from Momento - Can't act
Natalie Imbruglia - Can't act

All of them.

She's been in at least 1 film every year for the last 7 years.
I'm a Mila fan so i don't think she should be mentioned in this thread.


Someone who does deserve to be mentioned is Steven Seagal.
His acting is the definition of wooden.

Guy Pearce, think he's decent.
 
Chris Hemsworth I dont thin is great, apart from Thor.

Fight Club?

That guy that pretended to be a girl on the old 606 - can't spell

Edward Norton.....Terrible as the hulk...bland, boring, charisma-less actor who even made Red dragon boring..

Strange then that he should have received so many plaudits for his early works then?
Sadly "Red Dragon" suffers from the success of "Silence of the Lambs" they seemed to think that having made one hit movie, it would naturally be a doddle to do it with, what I consider to be, the superior novel. Even Manhunter wasn't great

Ed Norton??

Brilliant actor!!

American History X is one of the top20 movies of all time - largely down to him. Great in Fight Club also.

Well I don't like him........... 

Yeh, can't agree with Ed Norton there.

One of his underrated performance is 'Primal Fear' in my opinion. He's veeeery good in that.

Hugh Grant..If he'd retired after four weddings..It would have saved us seeing the same performance 200 times..

He is brilliant in that too, but he is amazing in Snatch as a traveller. Everything from the accent to his mannerisms, I still cant believe its Brad "Hollywood Star" Pitt when I see it!!!

Sandra bullock or what ever her name is . gorgeous gorgeous girl but lucky she still making films . after speed i can't think of any real good films she been in and too the people who had a go at keano reeves , perhaps he still around because he turned down speed two

Hugh Jackman......

Just give me 20 minutes with her, Jeff. I could convince her that he is Satan himself.

Either that or she would fall in love with me.

My money's on the eye-gouging....
