Bruse Willis - He used to be one of my favorite action movie stars but with the exception on Die Hard 4 (which I thought was good but not great) he hasn't been in anything I've been interested in in years.

Ben Affleck - He seems like a pretty funny, intelligent, guy but he picks a lot of pure garbage. It'd be nice if he took a lesson from Matt Damon and chose fewer roles but quality roles.

Jennifer Aniston - She's my celebrity crush but I can honestly say that she's never made a movie I was interested in seeing.

The Rock.

I think he could have been a legitimate action star, but he's been making to many kiddie flicks and paint by numbers crap. The guy is incredibly charismatic and likeable, I wish he chose better films to show off his talents.

I stand by my original statement. Ok, Sin City wasn't bad.

Actually haven't seen any of those. I've been meaning to see Smokin Aces though.

Another vote for Nicholas Cage, Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis. Also Tom Hanks, and, these days, Pacino and De Niro. On the female side, I adore Drew Barrymore but would find it difficult to sit through any of her films.

I agree, but his action films were making less and less money, while his more family/comedy films are making good money. So, you can't fault him from that standpoint. I do hope he does some hardcore action flicks though.
