Most annoying Actor/Actress and why.

youtube!

I don't normally feel opinionated enough to dislike any particular actor or actress and whilst I certainly have my favourites this is not the mission of this thread.

However about a year or two back I sat through what I can only describe to be the most annoying, irritating, pretentious performance by an actor or in this case actress that I had ever seen. Before I tell you the movie let me say it wasn't the actual theme or vibe of the film,it was solely the acting.

Ok the Film was called JUNO and the annoying smart ass playing the lead role was a teenager called Ellen Page. Now I have learned since that this movie polarises opinions and lots of people rate it highly,that's fine.

Anyway last night I watched another movie called "Hard Candy" and as I am not great with faces I didn't immediately recognise that the very irritating pretentious OTT smart assed kid was once again Ellen Page only this time she annoyed me even more than the first time.

The exaggerated sarcasm, the nasally tone of her voice, the sheer faces she pulls, the pathetic attempts of dry wit, the body language and the self assured smugness just made me cringe from start to finish, what an annoying *****!

Anyway please tell me who drives you crazy as an actor or actress in what film and why.

Rothko

Shia Labouef

Why? Everything.

Sir Osis of Liver.

That bird with the really annoying voice in the new Supervalu ad.

Jennifer Lawrence. She tries way too hard.

Edit: The annoying part is millions of people lapping it up and loving her! (Isn't that always the annoying bit?)

Won her an Oscar.

Why do people get annoyed about this? Really, why? I can think of a thousand and one to get myself annoyed about if I was that way inclined, but people that have no bearing on my life? Away out of it!

I believe that was her acting skills....

I've always found Reese Witherspoon irritating but Walk The Line made me dislike her even more. I just couldn't take her seriously as June Carter.

That's what the OP was referring to when describing Ellen Page though, in two movies no less. I'm confused.

There are some actors/actresses that I wouldn't be drawn to watching, but none that really annoy me. It's too easy to avoid them for them to be any kind of irritant.

If someone you don't have to ever see is annoying you, it's your own fault for watching them.

I do take your point but as the post says I am not great with faces and tbh I was finished the movie before I realised they were the same actress although I did have my suspicions.

Vito Corleone

Hard Candy's a great film.

smok_em_out

rene zellwegger , way she twitches her nose and squints her eyes


luckily we haven't see much of her lately

when it comes to male actors , josh harnett or other guys who trade entirely on their looks

handlemaster

Steven Seagal .... why ? He can't act and the pony tail is tragic
The rock .. why ? No acting skills

R P McMurphy

Hugh Grant. Horrible. Needs a belt of a shovel to the face

Oh sorry, I didn't read the post. I just saw "Most annoying actor/actress" and blurted out Jennifer Lawrence.

It didn't, the company that made the movie won her the Oscar. You didn't believe that acting talent has anything to do with awards do you?

Jamie Fox. A racist that never gets called up on it. I wont watch any of his movies.

Well, I'm sure Jamie Foxx is devastated that your €5 every 12 months from xtravision doesn't end up in his bank account.

Bananatop

Zooey Deschanel....for the characters she plays. Always plays the same kind of girl 'I don't need a man to be happy because I'm so quirky'. Cue film where her character dates a load of men.

Desperately trying to be different to everyone else + not really being different to anybody else = bull****ter

She's probably a lovely girl, but by god she irritates the crap out of me!

Molester Stallone

I'm actually a little surprised nobody has mentioned Sherg......I mean Sara Jessica Parker so far!

Alfred Borden

Mark Wahlberg and Ben Affleck

Are you confusing the character with the actor?

Do you know I possibly am maybe it's the script but I just don't like the acting or should I say over -acting.

orchidsrpretty

John & Joan Cusack - The Baldwins - All six from friends - The woman who played Rocky's wife - John Voight's daughter - Sean Connery - All the cast of the mummy and sequels -

Whatsisname

Jennifer Lawrence, what an absolute attention seeking sap.

*Oooo lets fall over on the red carpet purposely so everyone thinks I'm some craic at parties*

Bridge93

Leonardo Di Caprio. Nothing to do with acting, he's just too perfect.

Charlie Sheen is another. When will he just go away?

"Put the bunny back in the box". One of the best lines ever! Apart from the American Jack cheese that is Con Air, I find him annoying too.

Hugh Grant - Blithering idiot
Sandra Bullock - Pain in the arse

TopBombing

Owen Wilson - can't stand him.

flyingdoctor72

me neither - I wondered how he even got a career as an actor as he is so bad, turns out he is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola

Butterface

Okay just to be clear..

is this thread about annoying characters that actors play?

Or finding the actors' real life personalities annoying?

Or about bad actors in general?

Yea it's a good question ! I suppose it's acually the character they play as opposed to the person themselves, I have absolutely nothing against Ellen Page, I am sure she is a lovely person off camera but perhaps she gets type casted and that's why I may have got mixed up, if a MOD is reading please change the title to MOST ANNOYING CHARACTERS IN A FILM AND WHY.

Yeah I remember enjoying Juno at the time, but I don't think I could watch it again. The way the character spoke was just so unnatural, but that's more to do with the writer I suppose.

I'd also go for every character Adam Sandler has ever played. Please, just stop already!!

Sirsok

Ton cruise, with the exception of his cameo in tropic thunder I can't think of an actor I hate more, I have refused to watch any more of his movies after I was brought to see mission impossible 4 by a family I was spending Christmas with in Australia .... The characters he plays annoys me as they all seem similar, badass type , and he just seems like a general hollywood cnut

Sam Kade

Woody Allen serves no purpose on television whatsoever :mad:

Oh well,opinions and all that.

J. Marston

Jesse Eisenberg.

His face and his voice annoy me.

What about in Election?

handlemaster

I think if you look at the body of work actors and actresses do there is a strong similarity and then traits between the character and there own charatacter. Why? Because its easier to act out a character that you can associate easily with.

lukesmom

Yeah Tom Cruise.

Had a massive crush on him and then he went and did a Hollywood on his teeth
And that fact that he is a scientologist - weirdo and I can't get past it.

But brilliant actor, superb.

Dick phelan

Adam Sandler same thing in every film, the dumb waster who actually has a big heart and will learn things throughout the film and now he is a responsible guy and lives happy ever after, gets on my nerves Click, Grown UP's, 50 First Dates all a load of ****e

John Cherry

Matthew McConaughey such a smug looking twat.

Meryl Streep. We get she is a good actress. The love in for her at the Oscar was just irritating. They seem to nominate her for a Oscar every year now just for the sake of it.
