My 5, in no particular order:
Charlton Heston - manages to turn every character into an a-hole
Jeff Goldblum - one-trick pony
David Schwimmer - he’s not acting
Brian Cox - seemed to be reading from a script in Bourne, but may find redemption in Succession
Bette Midler - turns every character into a cross-dressing gay male drama queen
David Schwimmer
Jennifer Aniston
Mark Ruffalo
Robert DeNiro - plays Bobby DeNiro in every flick
David Schwimmer, again
++++++++++++
Jen gets a pass
Joaquin Phoenix mainly for his off the camera exploits. The faux-aloof but still "look at me im edgy but don't look" schtick is done. We get it you're a dbag.

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.
While I agree Jerry is a poor actor, I feel that the contrast between his lack of acting ability against the awesomeness of the others was part of the genius of the show.

He was good in Intermission, The Lobster & In Bruge.
Colin Ferrell is good when he’s in movies that let him be laid back. Hollywood puts foreign actors into crap films and they can only do so much.

I think that’s true.
It's amazing how many good actors are out there relative to the few "superstars", who often are not very good actors, like Harrison Ford. Take basically the entire cast of Breaking Bad. Very few of them where known before BB, or ever after BB. They are AMAZING actors and you don't really notice it. That's the key. You only notice it when you watch something else and then you see that it's not so easy. Breaking Bad, the Wire, Sopranos, Bosch, and a few others. The nuance, the little things, the understated little movements, the tone, facial expressions, etc. They ARE their characters. By contrast, so much acting out there is stiff, theatrical, etc.
Bruce Jenner - So bad in movies like "Can't Stop the Music" that he felt compelled to cut his dick off and change his name.
The Rock - the fact that he is the world's biggest star tells you all you need to know about the state of movies today.
Megan Boone - from "The Blacklist." Love James Spader but found show unwatachable with her high school play-level acting beside him.
Carey Mulligan- Billionaires fighting over that in "The Great Gatsby"?
Bruce Willis - just not the same since he adopted chrome dome look full time.
Eric Roberts
Megan Fox
Steven Seagal
Jean Claude Van Damme
Marlon Brando...way overrated.

Careful. You don’t want to upset anyone who will then complain about your words. Scary stuff.

Hugh Grant, must have been a tree in a former life, because he is wooden in everything.
You could replace him with a broom handle with a cap on it in any of his films, and nobody would notice.
Don't believe it? Look closely at any scene in which he allegedly appears in Johnny Mnemonic (hint: he ain't there...).
