Keanu Reeves: absolutely. dreadful. in. everything. he. has. ever. done.

Second this. Watching him in the Devil's Advocate with Al Pacino was painful because you have someone who is so good paired with someone who is so bad.

That was bizarre - scenery chewing v barely acting at all.....'dude, I'm the son of the the devil you want me to have sex with my sister to create the antichrist....bummer dude."

Why does Nicholas Cage get a bad wrap? Ever movie I've seen of his I liked.

Relative to potential he's the worst actor in world history. First, he's a Coppola (he changed his name) and got work because of it. Second, he can't act. He's just a horrible actor, like Keanu Reeves wooden terrible.

Worst actors:

Nicolas Cage

Keanu Reeves

Vin Diesel

Adam Sandler

Jeremy Renner

Nick Cage is very underrated:

You gotta put Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, and Gwenyth Paltrow up there as "hey, look at me seriously acting" beyatches.

And who can fergit Sean Connery in The Hunt for Red October. The Russian sub commander with the accent right off the streets of Glasgow. He might as well have been drinkin Buckfast, too.

This is IMO the funniest thread of all time, anywhere, ever. ???????

Schwarzenegger. Gotta be. In Terminator he wasn't acting.

I think it's got to be 5 from actors (guess where just talking dudes here) who just plainly don't act and are basically themselves in every movie - Pacino, Arnold, Sly, Seagal, Eastwood (most overrated actor ever) ect. Pacino is the worst...every f+-&-ing movie he does he is the same damn character, even when he's the friggin Devil he's the same guy.

Of the others mentioned Cage is pretty good actually, I like watching him. As is Keanu though he is borderline playing himself too in most films.

Keanu.

Has been in 70+ films and never gotten a nomination. Had a couple of female fans break into his house and swim naked in his pool, so he made a movie about it.

A lot of good answers here, but I'm shocked no one mentioned Jerry Seinfeld.

Yes, I realize he's a comedian, but he acted on Seinfeld and almost made the show unwatchable. The contrast is his (lack of) acting skills with the rest of the cast was huge.

Gerard Butler

Aaron Eckhart

Can we just re-title this thread "Famous Actors I don't like for some reason"

Oh and Cage gets a pass just because of Raising Arizona and Reeves gets a pass for Rivers Edge

But he was brilliant in Kindergarten Cop delivering the line: "it's not a too-mer."

Absolutely agree. He did make the show unwatchable for me. Everyone else was great and he couldn't contain his laughter for a single scene ever, it felt like!

hmm interesting take... I think I know where you copied and pasted those names from, they all have something in common.. not related to acting at all.

Has anyone said Robert Downey yet?

Did anyone mention David Hasselhoff?

Colin Farrell for the win.

End of thread

He was good in Intermission, The Lobster & In Bruge.

Charlton M-F Heston for the win.
