The skirt did it for you, huh!?

I really hate Julia Roberts. She can't act and who ever first said that she is beautiful.....well they need their eyes testing. Ditto for Renne Zellwegeer and Sara Jessica Parker. On the male side, well i hate Tom Hanks acting. He seems like a nice enough guy in real life...but his acting is never up to much IMO. Also all the "Friends" people. None of them can act worth shit.

I'll say it. I hate (ok, strongly dislike) Denzel Washington. He always has a condescending sneer and comes off as really cocky in his interviews. He's also played the racecard in a few interviews that I've heard/read and I just cannot respect anyone who is as successful as he is and still using that as a crutch.

Denise Richards and Heather Graham are painful to listen to in movies, they couldn't deliver a line of dialog to save their lives. I can't say I hate em since I rewatch movies with them, repeatedly, late at night.

Can't think of any actors/actress I flat out hate, even Mannequin from the Star Wars prequel was pretty decent in Shattered Glass (and I don't blame him for the stiffness in Star Wars, way to go, Mr. Lucas). I'd say Paris Hilton, but that would give her too much credit by implying she is an actress.

Oh wait no, I got it, I don't like Ben Foster. His short time in X3 bothered me, and his entire role in 3:10 to Yuma made me cringe.

It's hard for me to say that I absolutely hate any specific actor, but I am trying to think of a name that comes up that makes me roll my eyes....

And the only one I can think of right now is Johnny Depp.

He's not a bad actor and he's in some flicks I really love, but I haven't been impressed with a performance of his in a while. I need to revisit Sweeney... there may be something there I missed... when I saw it in theatres I was pretty let down. As a fan of Burton, Sondheim and gore I was surprised how much I didn't enjoy that film.

I think for me it's more of the role/movie and actor combo, than just an actor alone.

I don't care much for Tom Cruise either, but the guy is electric in Magnolia.


Edit to add: Oh and Gael Garcia Bernal... I really find him completely unlikable.

Ditto.

And just be sure to step back when she opens her mouth or else you may never be seen from again.

Groucho 02-08-08 10:34 AM

No mention of Mel Gibson? I thought he'd become fairly unpopular after his anti-semitic rants.

RichC2 02-08-08 10:39 AM

yeah but thats as a person, as an actor? I don't hate him.

Charlie Goose 02-08-08 10:42 AM

Oh yes, add those names to my list too.

Tyler Perry

DRG 02-08-08 10:48 AM

I can't stand Mandy Patinkin. Not saying he's a bad actor necessarily, I just find him unwatchable.

Bluelitespecial 02-08-08 10:53 AM

For me its Nicolas Cage, the only good movie he has made in the last ten years was Lord of War.

Oh god, yes - me too... add these twats to my list as well. I guess I overlooked them because I didn't think of them when I heard the word "actor." They top my list though - right under Tara Reid.

BambooLounge 02-08-08 11:55 AM

I think some actors are "hated" more for their persoanl lives, thank you tabloid sensationalism, than their ability or inability to act. But, if I had to list my most "hated" actors (as in they are overrated and cannot act), Kevin Costner would be topping that list by a wide margin. Even in movies I like that he stars in (The Untouchables), he is still the worst part of the movie.

Kevin Costner plays Kevin Costner in "Insert Any of His Movies"

Agreed :thumbsup:

Brack 02-08-08 12:48 PM

Yes, Costner's work in "Bull Durham" is just like his work in "Mr. Brooks."

UAIOE 02-08-08 01:46 PM

Yet another vote for Julia Roberts.

islandclaws 02-08-08 01:55 PM

I've always disliked Ethan Hawke. Matthew Lillard is irritating as hell, except for Serial Mom and SLC Punk (mostly). Jamie Kennedy knows how to ruin any film. Freddie Prinze Jr. flat out sucks. Halle Berry, I think she sucks and I'm in the minority that doesn't think she's all that hot either.
