No he is not the worst actor, he is a pretty good actor in The Matrix and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure/Bojus Journey!

I don't think he is extremely great but he isn't the worst actor in Hollywood. I think Brendan Fraser is worse than him.

I don't think he's a bad actor at all. Same for Hugh Grant, whom I noticed is also on the list. They're both pretty good actors in my opinion. I think they're 'bad' actors in the eyes of those who compile these lists (Top ten...worse ten...etc.). Critics frame these lists according to their own biases. For example, I sometimes hear people saying Ronald Reagan was not a good actor. I feel that he was very good actor: Case in point: The Hasty Heart made in 1949, co-starring Patricia Neal. I know I've gone off topic, but want to point out the subjectivity of it. An actor is either good or bad based on one's own perspective.

He's far from the worst. The majority of that list is ridiculous.

I was also surprised that Hugh Grant was on the list. He's not extremely great but I liked him a lot in several movies.

The only actor on the list that I think is really terrible is David Caruso. The rest aren't great but they aren't bad. I do think Brendan Fraser is worse than Keanu.

Adam Sandler, Will Smith and Will Farrell are way worse than him.

I liked Hugh Grant's character in About a Boy. A Really shallow guy whom you get to know better as the movie progresses, and you see a serious side of him.

The other two you mentioned (David Caruso and Brendan Fraser), I've heard the names but I'm not familiar with their acting work.

IMHO, all these actors are great, (other than David Caruso, whom I've heard of, but never seen anything he was in. I would have to recognize him) but if it went to picking out bad choices in movie roles, Will Ferrell should be at the top of the list. I tried (key word) to watch 'Stranger than Fiction' on a website called Crackle (www.crackle.com) and had to turn it off. Nothing against his acting. It's his roles. Don't get me started on 'Elf'! :mad:

I actually like Keanu Reeves a lot. He was great in Speed and I just loved him in The Lake House and A Walk in the Clouds. Whomever thinks he's the worst actor in history really doesn't get out much.

That shows the credibility of this list. He should be near the top of it.

This list is a joke. It claims to be a list of the ten worst actors in Hollywood history. Yet everyone on it is alive and still working. All but two of them (Shatner and Caruso) are under age 50. Are we then to believe that every actor in silent movies was better than these guys? Every actor that worked in the 1920' -1980's was a better actor than these ten? Hogwash!! This is really just a list of 10 actors that the person who compiled this list doesn't like. And obviously that person was under age 30 and hasn't seen a movie made before 1985!

I guess that list is just like the ratings...they only care about the 18-49 demographics. :rolleyes:
