Actors you wish would retire

Ashton Kutcher - He can keep doing those camera commercials, but stay outta the movies. There are many way better actors who could use the paychecks.

Jim Carrey - He's no longer funny in movies and no one takes him seriously in dramatic roles. He should stick to doing standup.

Eddie Murphy - He lost his edge a long time ago and has embarrassed himself too many times in terrible kiddie movies. He should be wealthy enough by now to call it quits.

Al Pacino - He has had a great career but nowadays all he does is sleepwalk through roles or is a parody of what he used to be.

Sean Penn

I'd miss Sean Penn. Heavy handed sometimes, but still a unique actor.

and OP, i'd like to see Jim Carrey make a comeback, via Ace Ventura. One can only hope.

Betty White

Do you realize how many roles she's taken away from Amanda Bynes over the years? If the old fogies of Hollywood would move on once their days are over, we wouldn't be experiencing the horrible talent drain the industry is suffering when notables like Bynes call it a day because they just can't get the SNL hosting gigs that should be coming their way.

Unforgivable. Can't you grasp how much better today's movies would be if Jason Statham and Megan Fox were in all of them?
SEX AND THE CITY?
KICK-ASS?
THE A-TEAM?
All those idiotic rom-coms?
AVATAR?
TOY STORY 3? (Fox as Barbie, Statham as G.I. Joe and he kicks Buzz Lightyear's and Woody's asses all the way back into the recesses of John Lasseter's limited imagination. Imagine that in 3-D. Now that's the TS sequel I want to see.)

And think of the remakes they could make
WIZARD OF OZ with Fox as Dorothy and Statham as a kung-fu fighting scarecrow
GONE WITH THE WIND with Statham as Rhett Butler and Fox as Miz Scarlett. Statham does kung fu at Gettysburg and changes the course of history.
CASABLANCA with Statham and Fox in the Bogart and Bergman roles
BARBARELLA...
PLANET OF THE APES...(Fox as Nova, you smart-alecks, not the chimp. And she keeps her mouth shut, which ought to make some of you happy)

Oh, the possibilities...

Re: Actors you wish would retire

Every living actor, period. They all suck, are overrated and are unattractive. It makes me incredibly angry that there are people out there that make movies I don't like, and I want them all to be washed off the face of the Earth.
