Who is the worst actor/actress in film today?

Now a lot of names come to mind, but I feel the worst actor/actress is a tie between the girl from The Transporter, and J-Lo. Now hands down the girl in The Tranporter was the worse single performance I have ever scene, If you haven't seen the movie it is worth checking out just to say that if this gal could be an actor so could my pet I don't know any other films she was in but they could'nt be better. On the other hand Jennifer Lopez is horrible as well, she can only play two kinds of characters, comedic lead or supporting roles or the lady being stalked or abused in dramas, If you notice she never talks about her roles before Selina.Ggo back and look at her filmography, you will see she tried to do charecter acting in Mi Familia, and In U-Turn, which you will see stunk up the big screen, every movie she tried action roles where horrible, the worst was Money Train, check em out you will see. Please tell me if you think I am wrong, or tell me who you think really sucks and why.

they would be considered an actress.

Personally. I hate Vin Diesel. He is my modern day Steven Seagal. 10 years away from Direct to video movies with rappers, and mountain dew commercials.

Ben Affleck. How this guy managed to achieve superstar status is beyond me, considering he can't act and radiates the personality of a lump of charcoal.

I don't know why everyone hates ben and vin so much. I think they are decent actors. Not the best, but still not the worst. The worst actor for me although i'm not sure how long it's been since he's made a movie is Ice T. He has absolutely no emotion at all in any of his roles. It's that same Screw the World face.

Well, I'll ignore all the B-movie actors and pick an A-list one:

Colin Farrell.

And I'm sure few will disagree that Keanu "I act like I'm reading off of cue cards" Reeves ain't exactly a major league thespian, either.

i'm gonna say it.



i'm going to say she has one character that couldn't be played by anyone, and unfortunately for her, it's the one where she sounds like she's chewing her face.



catherine, on the other hand, has one good character but she's damn funny to watch. thus, i love her.

oh, has anyone pointed out ....

I love Affleck.

I don't enjoy Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jesse Bradford, or Ben Foster. But the list could go on and on...

Samuel Jackson or Wesley Snipes. I really can't stand watching either one of them.

Oh...and Quintin Tarantino shouldn't be allowed to speak either.

Ice T has been doing good work on L&O: SVU. in fact, when you put someone as real as him in the cast, you can see all the other actors "acting" while he remains very much in the moment, in the reality of the scene.

I'm gonna go with Tarantino as one without any acting talent whatsoever. Everyone else is just listing off people they don't like.

She's worked mostly in TV, but Elizabeth Rohm AKA Asst. Dist. Atty. Serena Southerlyn was so attrocious that I stopped watching Law & Order and have been unable to resume.

Since she's an actress working mostly in, I'll add the worst actor working in film today is
