Actors you can't stand (for no apparent reason)

Richard Dower

Michelle Williams :mad: ...i fu*king hate her pudgy face, everytime i see her on screen i get really irrate and just wanna pummel her :mad:

bonerm

Sam Rockwell. Don't know what it is but I've disliked him in everything except for The Green Mile (in which he was meant to be unlikable).

Royale with Cheese

The guy from Law and Order:SVU.



Just cannot stand him at all for no apparent reason. Just hate him.

plissken

Brendan Frasier, no reason in particular but I just find him incredibly difficult to watch

optogirl

Keira Knightley - so irritating. Her pouty, wide-eyed act that she does in every film is painful to watch

Basq

Robert Pattinson..

.. actually, the entire Twilight cast! *

/thread





* except Peter Facinelli.. we'll call his involvement a moment of insanity

phasers

Nicolas Cage.



Wanker.

fillmore jive

Will Ferrell

duckworth

Kate Winslet - For overacting - for picking long, boring turgid films and passing them off as intellectual and arty, for appearing entirely self-obssessed and insincere in interviews, and most of all for her ugly annoying mouth.

Hugh Grant - for being a complete knut. That about sums it up.

Gwyneth Paltrow - For winning an oscar for Shakespeare in Love.

Leonardo De Caprio - Because I've hated pretty much every film he's made in the last 5 years, I've now grown to hate him.

Bill Pullman - I'm not really sure why I hate this pr1ck, but I do. I'd love to smash his face in.

Tom Cruise - I think he's creepy and disgusting. I just can't forget about his real life personality when I watch his films, and it ruins it for me. Except for Magnolia, where his character has a similar personality. But it still doesn't stop me from wanting to cut his balls off and feeding them to him.

Robin Williams - For being mawkishly sentimental in his roles and acting, and passing it off as heart-felt emotionality. Fcuck off.


Thank you for creating this thread and letting me vent.

-edit- Just re-read title and saw it was 'for no apparent reason', in which case only Bill Pullman on my list above counts. Still, I'm leaving my reasons for the other disgusting pr1cks!.

podgemonster

Dustin Hoffman: Think its the sound of his voice
Sarah Jessica Parker: what's her appeal!!

Renn

There can be no Sam Rockwell hate.

johnny_ultimate

Please ignore the second half of the thread title and give reasons! Don't want another list thread.

re. the Sam Rockwell comment above, I'd like to add another category - actors you used to hate, but for some reason now love.

Mine would be Mr. Rockwell above and Casey Affleck. I hated both of them until I saw more of their work and loved them. Sam Rockwell is an extremely subtle actor, he doesn't go about chewing up scenes. He's magnificent in Jesse James for example, in what could have been a nothing role.

Casey Affleck's voice used to drive me mental until I got past it and discovered his talent in the same film, and also the new one where he punches the girls face in. He was proper creepy in that one. I like his ambiguous morality, and how he brings it to the roles he plays.

DOC09UNAM

I hated Di Caprio for the abomination that was The Titanic, and by god was it fúckin ****.

But with some epic movies like the beach, inception, shutter island, the departed, blood diamond and gangs of new york.

He has finally become my favourite actor.

Clare Bear

Nicholas Cage. His face offends me.

DeepBlue

Jennifer Aniston - has she made one good film? She was particularly obnoxious in Marley & Me (which itself was a pretty crap film).
Aston Kutchner - likewise, has he made one good film? RTE seem to have bought a job lot of his films recently for their Wednesday night slot. The probably found them in some bargain basement bin.

I thought The Good Girl was fairly decent.

Ashton Kutcher is just a moron though.

Basq

Regarding Aniston:

The Good Girl was pretty good, as was Management.

And she was in Office Space.. so you can't say she didn't feature in at least one good film.

fluke

Any of these so called funny men put me off the movies they appear in. They come across in their movies as the same obnoxious character

Eddie Murphy
Ashton Kutcher
Dane Cook



As for the women - Mischa Barton (straight outta the Kiera Knightley school of acting)

Even though he's not an actor as such I find it really annoying when Quentin Tarantino ruins movies (usually his or R Rodriguez' films) by cameoing in them. He can't act so why throw the viewer off with a needless cameo

Same goes for M Night Shymalan

nachoman

I can never watch any films with Russel Crowe any more because he's always obnoxious in interviews and throwing phones at people, arrogant tosser.

30txsbzmcu2k9w

I never really "got" Nic Cage until i watched Bad Lieutenant.
Def my fav acting performance of last year

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEJjjVrL1tY

+ Dustin Hoffman. And Jodie Foster. Hate the way both of them talk.

vipervillain

that guy who played ernest in the 100 or so muck films brought out with hi in them...even when i was young youd want to punch his face in with the stupid laughs and faces he pulled.
rob schneider is prob the new equivalent with film after film after film but if i had to chose it would be rob

Gang of Gin

Not Hollywood by any stretch but I'd like to kick that cnut John Stape/Colin Fishwick in Coronation Street.

Adam Sandler - mumbling his words through those slabs of teeth.

Matthew McConnaughy - mutton-headed, rom-comming bastard.

dammul

Keanu Reeves but that's cause he's a crap actor. Julia Roberts, George Clooney good looks are no indication of talent, the whole cast of Fair City

paddyismaddy

ashton kutcher he cant act even stifler from american pie acts him off the screen plus he stole demi moore from me :mad::p

Mr.Nice Guy

Tobey Maguire - I find him really annoying. I didn't enjoy the Spider-Man films because of him. Can't root for him in them.

Christian Bale - Same deal as Maguire, though I find Bale less annoying. I could watch him in certain other films but in the Batman movies he really gets on my nerves.

I saw it some years ago. All that I remember of it was that Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal starred in it so, for me at least, it was wholly unmemorable.

MrSir

Ed Burns because he has no charisma. He's the anti-Bruce Campbell.

jaykhunter

Wow, I hated films during the 90s. I don't know why, I just unnaturally hated a lot of actors/actresses. Maybe it's because they look like pompous phonies.

George Clooney, Michael Douglas, Awec Bauwin, Jodie Foster....if they were in dramatic films in the 90s, I didn't want anything to do with them! I didn't like Brad Pitt until he did Fight Club.

Also Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner, Richard Gere, Kurt Russell.....it's a wonder i could watch any film! i dunno what's wrong with me that when I see these rich pricks on screen I want nothing to do with them.

Thankfully I've been enjoying films and their actors much much more over the last decade

Keira Knightley :mad:
Same stupid expressions all the time, very weak actress
and her chin annoys me!!

You'd have to forgive him for Toy Story tho.

Alicano

Nicolas Cage everytime. Blood boiling.
Denzel Washington.
Morgan Freeman (controversial for you maybe) I just plain hate him.
Gary Sinese.
Steven Segal.
Jennifer Lopez.
Sandra Bullock.
Brendan Fraiser.
Ok i need to rest..

UnknownSpecies

Tom Cruise, simply because I think he's an absolute creep and I can't watch a movie that he's in without thinking about Scientology!!

Renn

Other religions/cults don't bother you then?

Busi_Girl08

Ellen Page - She just really grates me. I couldn't stand her in Inception.

Tom Cruise - Ugh.

Oh, and Sandra Bullock. She won an Oscar for playing pretty much the same role as she always has. Except she's blonde.

phasers

+1 for Sandra Bullock, she only won the Oscar because she has friends in the Academy

robby^5

Ewan McGregor in anything where he has an American accent.

storm2811

Nick Cage - Does his tone of voice ever change?I just can't stand him,he bores me to death in films.

Seth Rogan - Ever played a role where he's not a "funny" stoner?

Michael Cera - Same as above but replace funny stoner with awkward teenager.

The twilight girl(Kimberly Stewart?) - Acts so awkward and uncomfortable/twitchy ALL the time!

Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg - Alright rappers,terrible actors.

Colin Farrell - Just annoys me.

Hugh Grant - This is probably my most hated one,his voice or something just annoys me and the way he acts,ugh.

Oh I forgot Adam Sandler,wtf is up with his voice when he sings?Makes me want to put the TV on mute and smash his face in!
Such an idiot.

Yeah, I get the Nick Cage thing. He's frequently terrible, but when he's in the right role... If you liked Bad Lieutenant, you should check out Leaving Las Vegas.

There are so many bad actors in this thread. I don't see the point of hating them; I just ignore their movies. The kind of guy here should be decent actors who rub you up the wrong way, like the above-mentioned Jodie Foster and Dustin Hoffman, with whom I agree.

June Warm Tambourine, did you perchance used to have insomnia but not since I joined boards?

Michael Cera

Sam Rockwell for some reason.

no , she won it cause everyone thinks shes nice

Sorry I'm not having this Cage hate either. Frequently terrible? God do people like jumping on bandwagons. He's done 10-15 good roles so I'm not sure about him being all that terrible.

Renn

And as for avoiding a movie because a certain actor is in it, bullsh*t. I would have missed out on quite a few gems if I took that approach. I've a particular dislike for Adam Sandler, but that didn't prevent me from watching Punch-Drunk Love thankfully.

Black Swan

Except for his performance in Blood Diamond, Leonardo DiCaprio fails to suspend my disbelief. I can't take him seriously.

Maybe when he was younger, but in the last ten years, I can only remember two great movies, and maybe two-three medicore ones at most.

Renn

Kick-Ass
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans
The Weather Man
Adaptation.

I've yet to see Lord of War and a few others, but he's always guarenteed to bring you entertainment.

OutlawPete

I don't like Russel Crowe or Uma Thurman.

Yeah, "terrible" was a poor choice of word. I meant "irritating", which is much more subjective. Don't get me wrong; I like the guy. I just understand why people don't.

EDIT: Oh, sweet zombie Jesus, let's not get into lists, or we'll be here all night arguing over whether The Weatherman's any good, and whether crap like Knowing, National Treasure, The Wicker Man remake (Not the bees!), Hell Rider, etc. are relevant.

Ricardo G

One guy that i have always detested is Chris Klein (OZ) from American Pie movies, jeezus he has the to be the worst actor i've ever seen :mad:
