This guy is an untalanted hack who was cute and tolerable as a child actor but doesn't have what it takes to be anything else. I find him utterly insufferable. Thank you, ads for Transformers, for helping me see the light.

Really? I was ok with them in Dogma. (serious "Chacon son gout" here though) Plus the two Bourne movies were good.

None of them gets on my nerves really but I don't see a point in a Billy Crystal or Will Ferrel movie.

I remember a scene in "Boiler Room" where Ben Affleck is trying to motivate a group of salesmen, and you could sense that he was trying to channel Alec Baldwan's famous speech in "GlenGerry Glen Ross" but Affleck is just embarrassingly awful in comparison.

Actresses: Any actress who is only in the movie because she is good looking and can not act at all. Basically, half of Hollywood.

Jim Carrey used to really get on my nerves, then I saw the beauty of Dumb and Dumber. The rest of his movies are still awful. Kira Sedgwick really bothers me. I can't quite put my finger on what annoys me about her, though. I think it is her know-it-all attitude in The Closer. I get that same vibe about Vincent D'Onofrio in Law & Order: Criminal Intent (but only in that show, I really like him overall).

Rob Schneider. Ben Stiller Jim Carrey (GIANT exception to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- and a smaller exception to The Truman Show) Nicholas Cage is vastly overrated I think. Owen Wilson. Ben Affleck. Orlando Bloom is waay too popular for what he actually does.
On a side note- I actually like Matt Damon- especially in Good Will HuntingPosts: 980 | Registered: Aug 2005

Rob Schneider is bearable in one solitary movie: Surf Ninjas. Probably because he was less crude when he was younger, and also because he only plays a supporting role. Maybe a little bit because his character gets picked on a lot.

Tom Cruise John Travolta Nicholas Cage Jim Carrey
There are probably others I'd rather not watch, but those are the big ones.
Not so long ago I would have put Leonardo DiCaprio on the list as well, but since I saw The Aviator and The Departed I've changed my mind about him.

Vincent D'Onofrio does especially annoy me because he always looks exactly the same to me whether he is confident, upset, pissed, pretending to be someone else to get information. Its like he has exactly one "emote!" mode.
Partially disagree: Billy Crystal, I liked Analyse This. I could easily see how one could sick of him though.

That character used to be like nails on a chalkboard for me, but I've found him strangely addicting; love to watch him even though sometimes I really think all the twitchiness is overacting.

I hate actors who turn their interviews (on shows like The Tonight show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien) into an act. i.e. Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Will Ferrell...

Most comedians do that - it's pretty obvious that Leno has been supplied with openings he's supposed to give his guests to lead into jokes.

Sharon Stone Jack Nichols Will Ferrell, but Stranger than Fiction was the exception, he was good in that. He didn't act like a three year old that drank coffee and ate pixy stix Various Baldwins Charlie Sheen

The world's worst actor: Paul Walker. If I was as bad at my job as he is at his, I'd hang myself.
Orlando Bloom was embarassingly bad in Elizabethtown, so much so that he was acted off the screen by Kirsten Dunst. But he's pretty good in the PotC movies.

Last night we went to Appleby's for dinner. Sasha, my 6 year old, was being curious.
He saw a large picture of Elvis and said, "That's Elvis." (He was at an Elvis Impersonator show once and, well, that's another long story).
"Yes" I said.
He then pointed to other things on the wall until he got to a large picture of Beyonce'. "Who's that?" he asked.
"Beyonce'" I said.
"Oh. What is she?"
Good question. Actress? Singer? Dancer? Pop-Star? Stripper who keeps some of her clothes on at least until the camera's go off?

Pretty much all comedy actors who's comedy is based mostly around being juvenile, stupid or obnoxious.
I really like Matt Damon. He was awesome in Good Will Hunting and in the Bourne movies and I thought he was pretty good in the Ocean's movies too. He's one of my favorite actors. Ben Afflect wasn't bad in Good Will Hunting either, but he hasn't made much of an impression in anything else I've seen him in -- good or bad.

I just the actors/musicians based off of which I think is their real talent.
Beyonce, for example, is a much better singer than actor. So she's a singer.
Mandy Moore, on the other hand, is a good actor and a so-so singer. She's an actor.
Will Smith; actor.
Jennifer Lopez; actor, actor, a thousand times an actor (she's a miserable musicians -- if I ever meet the person who convinced her to try music we're going to have a misunderstanding).

See, I would feel this way, but then I realize that the only alternative is to listen to guys like that talk about their personal lives.

How can anyone not like Nicole Kidman? (And she can too act...)
Anyway, I can't stand: Tom Cruise, Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. I also can't stand Jim Carrey in his Ace Ventura style roles, when the director reigns him in and he's not quite so over-the-top he's okay. (Still wouldn't say good.)

Anyone from Saturday Night Live after I stopped watching it.
So true. Nicole Kidman was sooo annoying in Bewitched and in Practical Magic which is a much better book than movie. Stupid Bewitched and people making annoying movies.

Man you guys have mentioned of bunch of people I really like.
Especially Vincent D'Onofrio and Kyra Sedgwick. Those are two of my favorite shows on TV. D'Onofrio was great in Full Metal Jacket, but is awesome in Law & Order: CI. And Kyra in The Closer is just plain wonderful.
I like Damon, not Affleck.
There aren't any women actresses I especially like or dislike.
There is only one actor I've ever had a real dislike for... Nicolas Cage. I did like him in National Treasure, but almost everything else he's in makes me cringe. My kids so wanted to go see Ghost Rider and just didn't understand why I wouldn't take them simply because this guy is in it.

I think it would be funny to see pictures of each of you watching one of the actors you hate with a disgusted expression and a lolcat caption under the pic like "Do Not Want!"

I've been looking for a reason to post this since I saw the DVD of Miss Potter last week:
Renee Zellweger is so awful in this movie, it nearly made me cry. I cringed when I saw her face on the cover, and I cringed every time her fake English accent and half-smirk drew my attention away from the story, which I really wanted to care about. I can handle her in meaner roles, but, forgive me, Beatrix Potter just isn't mean. Couldn't they have cast an authentically English actress with some degree of warmth? I would have seen the film anyway, whether or not it carried any star power.
Thank you all for letting me get that off my chest.

Sarah Jessica Parker. Her and Julia Roberts could start a horse-faced crappy acting club.
Adam Sandler.
Johnny Knoxville.
Jessica Simpson. Gross. Super super gross. And unattractive.
Rodney Dangerfield. The only movie I liked him in was Natural Born Killers, because he got brutally murdered pretty quickly.

Out of curiosity, why do you consider Jessica Simpson unattractive?
I mean, I personally am not attracted to Brad Pitt, but I can see how other people find him attractive. He's just too....generic (I can't think of a better word)....for me.

There is something in her face that irritates me. I can't exactly explain it. Her mouth is maybe too big? Her eyes too close together? I don't really know. Her face is just icky to me. I know that most men find her body attractive. As a woman I guess I can see it, but that face.... Ick.

Her face looks kind of rat-like to me. Not that I don't think she's hot overall, but her face is far from the best-looking, IMO.

I loved Jack Black in Orange County, THe Holiday, and Nacho Libre
I HATE COLIN FARRELL WITH THE HEAT OF A THOUSAND SUNS! There. I feel better.
I also cannot stand Cameron Diaz. I think she's a talentless hack. And I subconsciously avoid stuff that involves Sarah Jessica Parker. And I'm also definitely NOT on the Maggie Gyllenhal bandwagon. She drives me crazy.
