Actors you just can't stand

[Liza]

There are some very talented artists out there, and some that for whatever reason, just rub you the wrong way. Not that we mean any harm, but sometimes it's good to vent your frustrations. This thread is dedicated to that purpose.

For me, the top of my list is Emmy-winner Patricia Clarkson. I just don't get what's so wonderful about her. She's not that attractive, (in fact, I find her kind of scary looking), she's got an annoying voice, and for some reason that I'll never understand, she gets cast in everything and wins every award. I don't wish the woman any harm... I just want her to go away.

Number two on my list is Tony-winner Audra McDonald. Yeah, she's got a good voice and can act, but I find her to be irritating beyond belief. To be fair, it's not that she's ever turned in a lousy performance, it's just that she's EVERYWHERE onstage. She's appearing in this, starring in that, special guest star here, performing as... Gah! I'm just so sick of seeing her name! And every year she's nominated for a Tony for something or other. It's like she's her own category: the Whatever-Show-Audra's-In-This-Year nomination. :rolleyes:

Tom Cruise, Rosie O'Donnell...need I say more??

[Riley Martin]

Gwyneth Paltrow (she went to England and bashed the USA while there)
Lindsay Lohan
Sean Penn
Megan Fox (loudmouth, as evidenced here: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=248011)
Jane Fonda

[browneyes106]

The only actor can't stand at all is Rosie O'Donnell.

[Zoneboy]

The words actor and Rosie O'Donnell should never be uttered in the same sentence. :rolleyes:

[Stuck In The '70's]

Barbra Streisand

Oh, I second that one!

Just for you (and all Rosie haters)... heh :D

[ekkostar]

Thomas Haden Church
Anyone that knows me from the old school SO days will know why. I left a hint in my profile. :crazy:

[Liza]

Jane Fonda

Young Jane Fonda I really liked, from "Barefoot in the Park" and "9 to 5" it's just recent Jane Fonda (Monster in Law) that irritates me.

Oh, and how could I forget Josh Hartnett? OMG, how can this guy still have a career after "Pearl Harbor" and "The Black Dahlia"?

[dawsongirl]

Tom Cruise
Katie Holmes
Helen Hunt
Kelly Preston

Tom is a loudmouth whackjob and Helen Hunt is a TERRIBLE actress. Katie was never much of an actress either, but now she's just an annoying mess. I can't really say what it is about Kelly Preston that I don't like, but I just find her to be obnoxious.

[browneyes106]

lol thanks James

Good point!

[MickeyMac]

I agree with you all about Tom Cruise even though I like both Born On The Fourth of July and All The Right Moves.


I have to admit I cant stand George Clooney because in my opinion I think he is a terrible actor.


I really dont like Will Farrell, Adam Sandler, and these other Saturday Night Live comedians. I dont find them funny at all.

[Liza]

I hate Will Farrell. Never found him funny, just strange. He's not funny, he's not attractive, he's not a good actor, so why is he paid millions of dollars? My one consolation: Land of the Lost was a huge BOMB! America might finally be outgrowing him.

[Liza]

:lol: Debatable

[coffield3]

Tom Cruise
Will Farrell
Kiera Knightley

There are probably lots more, but I just cannot think right now :lol:

I agree I think George Clooney is a terrible actor..he constantly smiles (he must think he has an increable smile??) and looks at the camera alot!! I find him creepy too...sorry George fans!

[Darren J.]

Jake Busey. A shame because his father is/was such a great actor and Jake is a pathetic excuse for one and is living off his father's name.

[waichingliu81]

megan fox, shia la beouf, keanu reeves, lindsay lohan, russell crowe that's all i can think of right now. cannot stand either of them

[waichingliu81]

i think the only good thing he has done, and i might be wrong is ER and that was a tv show. he's not my type either.

[Retro4Life]

I never liked Hartnett or Cruise, either. Both of them seem like they are always playing the same role. Most of their roles are people I know the writers expect me to like, but seem to come off so cocky and smug I just want to punch them. Plus neither have any range whatsoever; same two or three facial expressions for every role. Ugh.

There was an actor from the 80's whom I think has disappeared (thank God) that I always felt the same way about. His name was Christopher Collett, and he was in "The Manhatten Project" and "Firstborn". Like the above two, he played characters who we were supposed to root for but I just loathed for their arrogance. I honestly think it was the actor, not the script, lol.

Others include Adam Sandler, Michael Keaton (not a bad guy, but WAY too hyper in every role), and the pinnacle of wretchedness, Mr. Pauley Shore.puke:

I agree with Clooney - and you can add Brad Pitt to the list. I have never, ever understood what the big deal is about him. :confused:

Talk about someone who's unattractive. puke:

[Darren J.]

With Josh Hartnett, most women seem to be at both extremes with him. They think he's either the best looking guy in the world, or the ugliest.

Tom Cruise was also pretty good in Rain Man, even though it really was Dustin Hoffman's movie. But the two worked really well together.

[Chocoholic]

GEORGE CLOONEY!!!
Russel Crowe
Brangelina
Rosie O'Donnell
Will Ferrell
Jennifer Aniston (Actually, everyone from Friends except Matthew Perry.)

Not a Farrell fan, but what do looks have to do with it? IMO, some of the best actors/actresses I've watched wouldn't be considered attractive.

[MickeyMac]

I will also add Martin Lawrence, Will Smith and Chris Rock to my list. They are only not funny but extremly annoying. They are too willing to throw away their dignity to play clowns.

[Liza]

Nicolas Cage and David Schwimmer. They are both soooo whiney! I get so sick of hearing their voices.

[Liza]

Oh I agree - there are plenty of great character actors who aren't necessarily gorgeous... but as long as I was listing his faults, I thought I may as well add that to the list. I get sick to my stomach when I see him kissing someone onscreen.

[HuntingtonM15]

Gwyneth Paltrow
Katherine Heigl
Will Ferrell
Ben Stiller
Megan Fox

I'm sure there's more

[dawsongirl]

David Schwimmer

Oh, there's another one. He is just about the WORST actor I have ever seen. If he and Helen Hunt ever did a project together.... *screams*

[dawsongirl]

Katherine Heigl

I don't see what's so special about her either. Plus, she seems like a huge whiner.

[Pitooey]

Will Smith & his wife....... bleech....

[HuntingtonM15]

I don't see what's so special about her either. Plus, she seems like a huge whiner.

Yeah, she's a mediocre talent and she always comes off so cocky.

[70s show watcher]

bette midler and leanrdo dicaprio i cant stand ether of them add wilford brimley to my list too

[70s show watcher]

:lol: Debatablei havent thought or heard about him in years

[Schmoopie]

I used to like Rosie O'Donnel, but no more. I've lost all respect for her.
Tim Allen
Jim Carey
Will Ferrell
Fran Dresher. I'm sorry but I absolutely LOATHE this woman! That voice!!!

Oh... there are so many, but I can't think of them right now...

[Zebra 3]

The little spaceman Tom Cruise.

[waichingliu81]

Katherine Heigl


another performer who is famous for starring in one show- in this case greys anatomy and nothing else. i don't even watch the show, nor am i familiar with her and yet she is so hyped up. don't see what all the fuss is about.

also meg ryan. plays the same role in almost every film she's been in, plus i don't recall her ever appearing an 'blockbuster' movie that did really well.

[Liza]

'Blockbuster' maybe not, but she really was the queen of romantic comedies from the late 80s to early 90s.

When Harry Met Sally... French Kiss... Sleepless in Seattle... Kate and Leopold...

But I wouldn't go to see any of her current movies. I think she reached her peak 10 years ago.

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

Tom Cruise. Ugh. And the thing is, it's not his movies I have a problem with...it's him as a person. He seems so cocky and arrogant and fake.

[Riley Martin]

Nicholas cage don't seem to bother me much, I think he's a pretty good actor.
JMHO.

(ok I just wanted an excuse to post this picture.)

lol that pic.

[Schmoopie]

I don't like Meg Ryan anymore at all. Ugh... She was wonderful in Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally but now.... Ugh...

Tom Cruise-although I did like his early 80's/90's stuff

I'm drawing a blank right now so I"ll have to think of more....

[Riley Martin]

Kirsten Dunst
Natalie Portman
Janeane Garofalo
Hayden Panttiere
Any celebrity that is a Scientologist (i.e Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, etc)

[Schmoopie]

Okay, I was REALLY bored at work the other day :bored: so I compiled a more complete list....

Note: not all of these are actors, so hope that's okay. It's more like a "celebs I can't stand" list...


Miley Cyrus
Jessica Simpson
Amanda Bynes
Lindsay Lohan
Tori Spelling
Oprah Winfrey
Bob Sagat (except in Full House and even then I just tolerate him)
Mary Kate Olsen (again, only in Full House)
Ashley Olsen (ditto)
Brittany Spears
Rosanne
Rosie O'Donnell
Jim Carey
Will Ferrell
Rob Schneider
Debra Messing
Kristin Dunst (OMG, I HATE this woman with a purple passion!)
Orlando Bloom
Simon Cowell
BillyBob Thornton
Angelina Jolie
Paris Hilton
Cameron Diaz
Elizabeth Hasselback (I use the term celebrity very lightly here, but I had to include her)
Pamela Anderson
Jack Nicholson
Chevy Chase (he's right at the top, along with Kristin Dunst)
Whitney Houston
Melanie Griffith

I would puke: :barf: if Kristin Dunst and Chevy Chase were in a movie together!!! Just had to reiterate my hatred for both of them.

[HuntingtonM15]

Elizabeth Hasselback (I use the term celebrity very lightly here, but I had to include her)


I agree. I also have to add Julia Stiles to my list.

[Liza]

I couldn't pick Katherine Heigl out of a lineup if my life depended on it. Same with Jessical Biel. No idea who they are or what they're famous for.

[MickeyMac]

Tyler Perry. If I see him in drag one more time I'll :barf:

[Liza]

Kristin Dunst (OMG, I HATE this woman with a purple passion!)

Well, Kirsten Dunst isn't my favorite person in the world, but what about her bothers you? I can't think of anything she's been awful in... maybe I'm biased because to me she'll always be Amy from Little Women.

[JamesG]

Well for me I did not care for Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.

[waichingliu81]

I will also add Martin Lawrence, Will Smith and Chris Rock to my list. They are only not funny but extremly annoying. They are too willing to throw away their dignity to play clowns.

will smith is so overrated, especially when you consider his last couple of movies, though they might have raked millions of dollars were bland and terrible- i am legend, hancock, pursuit of happiness to name-. i don't think he is that good of a film actor - he should've stayed in TV.

[catlover79]

AMEN!! I've lost pretty much any respect I had for him when he started hanging out with Tom Cruise.

[catlover79]

Gosh, I saw Little Women back in the theater!! My mom, sister and grandma were with me. It was the last movie Grandma saw at the theater before she passed away 4 months later.

[waichingliu81]

AMEN!! I've lost pretty much any respect I had for him when he started hanging out with Tom Cruise.

i think that ever since he hooked up with cruise, his ego got too big for his boots. it beggars belief that movies as awful as 'i am legend', 'hancock' were, it still rakes in millions of dollars for him, but hey this is how hollywood and the box office works these days. sadly that is.

I know - it's a shame. :mad:

[waichingliu81]

I know - it's a shame. :mad:

i hate to say this, but in all honesty i think will smith is a guy who comes across as someone who thinks they know it all. well, that's the impression i get with the way he talks. plus it comes across as being fake and wierd. he is also a bit of a jack ass too.

[coffield3]

I've never been much for Will Smith either...and to be honest I've never really been into his tv work.

EDIT

[OH Nuts!]

Jimmy Walker yecch yecch yecch double yecch. imho they should use his tv appearances to torture spies. David Letterman (actor - I use the word loosely) is a respectable 2nd. (creepy older dirty man - bad taste and funny like a migrane)

[waichingliu81]

I've never been much for Will Smith either...and to be honest I've really been into his tv work.

i enjoyed him on the fresh prince of bel air, even though he wasn't my favourite character on the show but in terms of his films, i've never liked a single one of them.

[waichingliu81]

Same with Jessical Biel.

if she wasn't justin timberlake's girlfriend, she'd be a nobody in hollywood. yet she is a nobody. who is this woman? name me one film that made her 'well known' today? um, can't think of one.

[Schmoopie]

Well, Kirsten Dunst isn't my favorite person in the world, but what about her bothers you? I can't think of anything she's been awful in... maybe I'm biased because to me she'll always be Amy from Little Women.

I guess it's just the characters she plays. I lost all respect for her when I saw her in that horrible "Elizabethtown". She just annoys me to look at. Sorry for being so harsh on her though.

[catlover79]

if she wasn't justin timberlake's girlfriend, she'd be a nobody in hollywood. yet she is a nobody. who is this woman? name me one film that made her 'well known' today? um, can't think of one.
She was a star on the TV show 7th Heaven - but her movies tend to be very forgettable. She's always struck me as very stuck-up.

[JamesG]

I've only seen her in a few flicks.

One that I really liked was Edward Norton's The Illusionist and the TCM remake.

She was also in that straight-to-dvd flick where she plays a stripper called Powder Blue which is also Patrick Swayze's last movie.

[Jessica]

I'm really tired of Miley Cyrus. She changed WAY too much in only 3 years.

To this

She's a really bad role model, she's not even 17 years old.

[waichingliu81]

yes, those photos of miley were shocking, weren't they? and still, she gets accolades such as at the teen choice awards.

[Jessica]

Yes. Unbelievable.

[Dragonflies]

Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt

It's late, I'll try to think of more later ;)

[Tubehead]

I can't Stand Will Ferrell and adams sandler. only liked click and mr deeds.i can't stand will ferell. most of the moives he does is just is stupid only liked efl.. it wasn'ttoo bad
