Most Hated Actors

[Enchantress]

I got this idea from the Butterfly Effect thread. Which actors/actresses rub you the wrong way? Who are the people who, no matter what role they take, you are just never going to like them? Here's a few of mine, in no particular order.

-Ashton Kutcher
-Drew Barrymore
-Matt Damon
-Ben Affleck
-Sylvester Stallone
-Demi Moore
-Carrot Top: He needs to suffer......
-Paris Hilton
-Leonardo Di'Caprio
-Jennifer Aniston
-Sarah Jessica Parker
-Pamela Anderson
-Britney Spears
-Julia Roberts

Ben Affleck here. I can't understand why Hollywood loves this guy so much and keeps giving him movie roles.

I'm also not overly fond of Drew Barrymore.

I'll probably think of more later. Those are just two I spotted on Enchantress' list that I can't stand.

 

[Villano]

Off-hand, I'd say:

Ben Affleck
Leonardo Di'Caprio
Sean Penn
Adam Sandler
Chris Farley
David Arquette
Tom Greene
Madonna (although calling her an actor is a stretch... )
Heath Ledger
Bruce Paine (D&D, Highlander: Endgame)
George Clooney

There are probably some more, but I can't think of them at the moment...

Barbara Streisand: Her acting talent is inversely proportionate to her ego.

Oh my dear lord, Ashton Kutcher. I don't know how the hell he became such a big celebrity, but it certainly wasn't on any sort of talent.

Man, the Aston Kutcher hate here is palpable.

I can explain why he gets work if you folks really need me to: he is an abnormally handsome man with (if you've folowed his work on "That 70's show") excellent comic timing.

It remains to be seen whether he can do drama or not (I didn;t bother to see "Butterfly Effect"), but to deny that he is a gifted physical comic is ludicrous.

I can't beleive the poster above who hates Sean Penn. Penn can kind of be a dink to the media, but as far as acting ability goes, the man has the chops. He is almost universally respected by his peers and is one of the few "naturals" that the hollywood system has produced in ages.

He makes good material fantastic (Take a look at Dead Man Walking, Colors, or the currently playing Mystic river) and makes so-so material sing (take alook at the original Bad Boys with Esai Morales, or hell Fast Times at Ridgemont High where he set every single likeable moron character of the last twenty years (Bill and Ted, Beavis and Butthead, Brad Pitt's "Floyd" in True Romance etc. ) in motion.

Hating Sean Penn is like hating quality acting.

Shanghai Surpirse is, I'll grant you, an anomaly....the things we do for our wives/girlfriends

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

Kevin Spacey (thank god he's finally fallen off the radar; hopefully, permanently)
John Cusak (omigod he's going to ruin "A Doll's House" next; Ibsen is spinning in his grave)
Meryl Streep (before dingos ate her baby; I have started liking her since then)

Usually I hate a performance (or two or three or twenty) but I don't usually hate the actor. But the unholy three I have listed above--Kevin, John, and pre-dingo Meryl--well, I can barely stand to watch the trailers for their movies, much less the movies themselves.

Ashton Kutcher was Mr. Fresh Face of Iowa back in 1990-something. Somehow that led to underwear modeling, which led to "That 70's Show" which led to Demi Moore. Such is the entertainmen business in the new millenium.

Hating Sean Penn is like hating quality acting.

Hey. I have seen Fast Times on Ridgemont High. THAT is not quality acting.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Leonardo diCaprio annoys me (though surprisingly, he didn't bother me at all in Catch Me If You Can)... I couldn't believe that the dream cast they put together for Man in the Iron Mask also had Leo in two bloody roles...

Olivia d'Abo and Andrea Thompson really rub me the wrong way - just their showing up on screen sets my teeth on edge. Andrea Thompson ruined most of a season of JAG for me, and I was most upset when Patricia Tallman was basically replaced by her after the Babylon 5 pilot... but fortunately Lyta came back eventually

I've never, ever liked Uma Thurman. Oddly, I like a lot of movies that she's in, very much... but I like them despite her

Pauly Shore
Carrot Top

Beyond that, there aren't any actors/actresses who I don't like in any fashion.
