What actor causes you to keep flipping channels, when you see s/he's in the movie?

[Honeycombe8]

When you're flipping channels for something to watch, what actor or actress do you see in a program that makes you keep on flippin'?

I'll go first.

Steven Seagal
Chuck Norris

[MaryMagdaline]

1. Mel Gibson

[Honeycombe8]

6. Oh, yeah. Gibson...definitely. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

48. Not the older movies - "Gallipoli" and "The Year of Living Dangerously" are first-rate

and are among my all-time favorites. Mel jumped the rails later and I don't care for his later movies after he got religion, but those two are excellent.

[MaryMagdaline]

57. I liked Living Dangerously

Galipoli is on my list to see. I don’t know why he thinks he can do comedy. He is not funny.

[LAS14]

135. Yup. nt

[curlyred]

2. Good choices so far and I will add

Clark Gable

[hlthe2b]

4. Wow... why would you put him in the same category as the three previous?

really?

[Honeycombe8]

7. I was wondering that, too.

To each his own, I guess. But I love Clark Gable.

[hlthe2b]

10. Me too...

[curlyred]

33. I know it may not be logical but

Something about his facial hair and voice has always put me off. Smarmy. No one I want to spend a couple of hours looking at or listening to.

[stopbush]

87. He's playing a character. If the facial hair bothers you, try his "Mutiny on the Bounty."

For a smarmy guy reformed, try “San Francisco.”

[mucifer]

3. yup I agree gibson, segal and norris

[SummerSnow]

5. Seagal, Norris, Julia Roberts too

[Honeycombe8]

9. Julia Roberts. Thank you.

I don't like Julia Roberts, but the whole world seems to love her. I can't explain it why I don't. I think she's insincere, maybe? And not that great an actress. (But I do like the movie Pretty Woman, so I guess I wouldn't always keep flippin'. She wasn't the big star, yet, so maybe that's the difference w/that movie.)

[lunamagica]

67. She's overrated

[smirkymonkey]

119. I don't like her either.

Something about her irritates me, and when she screams or laughs it is really high-pitched which is like nails across a chalkboard to me.

[CurtEastPoint]

8. Vince Vaughn ... Repube

[Honeycombe8]

11. He is? Isn't he bff with Jennifer Aniston? nt

[htuttle]

12. Ted McGinley

[Honeycombe8]

15. I'll have to look him up. ??? nt

[spooky3]

40. Oh no! I love Ted McGinley. Lots of fun

On Married with Children.

[AJT]

161. I know he's religious, but is he rightwing?

[htuttle]

168. He's the Grim Reaper of Sitcoms

When he shows up in the cast, it's all downhill from there.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/TedMcGinley

In television circles, McGinley is known as the "patron saint of shark-jumping" by Jump The Shark founder Jon Hein, due to his historical tendency to join shows after their first and strongest period of production was past (most notably, he appeared in the later phases of The Love Boat, Happy Days, Dynasty, Married... with Children, and The John Larroquette Show).

Though to be fair, it's never actually his fault. It's all kind of a joke -- which he is in on:

https://www.metv.com/stories/in-defense-of-ted-mcginley-televisions-supposed-show-killer

[Ron Obvious]

13. Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise

Off the top of my head.

[rampartc]

41. agree on all 3

can anyone recommend a good tom cruise movie? didn't think so.

ben stiller is more like the other 2, but less funny.

[spooky3]

43. I liked Jerry Maguire. Nt

[rampartc]

45. ok, i'll try it

[lunamagica]

68. Rain Man

[empedocles]

81. 'Cocktail' only. Cruise tried hard in Kubrick movie - and imo, flopped.

[TexasBushwhacker]

116. Good grief that movie was bad

But I thought Tom was a decent actor when he was younger. He was good in Risky Business and Born on the 4th of July.

[empedocles]

125. True, bad movie. However, to me it suited best what Cruise could do.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

154. "All the Right Moves." He's right for that part.

All the Right Moves (film)

[dewsgirl]

180. Have you seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Man on the Moon? Both great Jim Carrey movies

Also Adam Sandler was great in Spanglish.

[Ron Obvious]

186. I have, and also "The Truman Show"

That and Spotless have terrific concepts that could have made for great, intelligent movies, but I was very disappointed how little they did with them, opting instead for very conventional treatments that were probably audience-tested in advance. Could have been great, ultimately very forgettable and disappointing.

[Freethinker65]

14. Adam Sandler

[Lochloosa]

28. Never saw the appeal.

[mitch96]

64. +1

[Beringia]

74. I liked him in Punch Drunk Love

[Laffy Kat]

124. Didn't care for him on SNL and can't watch him now.

I don't get it either. He has that silly voice he uses, which isn't funny, and nothing else.

[IamFortunesFool]

127. x 10,000

Every one of his movies is the same...I've never understood his popularity. He was surrounded by superior talent at SNL

[yonder]

159. Yes, another non-fan here. That look-at-me-I-so-funny expression

turned me off the moment I first saw him on SNL. The Christmas Hannukah schtick he did is absolutely awful, IMO.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

16. John Wayne, Gary Cooper

[RKP5637]

17. Chuck Norris! n/t

[empedocles]

79. Absolutely

[get the red out]

18. Tom Cruise

He just freaks me out too much in real life.

[Butterflylady]

19. Jon Voight

[smirkymonkey]

120. Ugh!

I just saw the Rainmaker the other night, which was a really good movie, but he played this smarmy southern lawyer defending a corrupt health insurance company and I just wanted to rip his throat out. I have seen him in other things too and I can't stand him. He's just so creepy. No surprise that he's a hardcore republican.

[SouthernIrish]

20. James Woods

John Voight
Clint Eastwood
All 3 because of their political views and the first 2 aren't good actors.

[MyOwnPeace]

21. Donald Trump

not even a good actor!

[Voltaire2]

22. Kevin Spacey

His films, which I used to like, are now unwatchable. He’s in the Woody Zone.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

49. I think I'll always like "The Usual Suspects."

Great, twisty movie.

[exboyfil]

77. I give him the sleeze exception

Seven is one of my favorite movies. I also think he has been the best Lex Luthor on film.

[dewsgirl]

179. American Beauty is one of my all time favs, and he was excellent as Frank Underwood in House of

Cards. I try to separate the person from his acting. He is a vile human being, but a highly talented actor.

[Gymbo]

23. I can't believe this person hasn't been named

Susan Sarandon!

[catbyte]

25. Oh, yeah. It pisses me off because "Bull Durham" & "Rocky Horror" used to be two

of my favorites. Now, I can't stomach them because of her.

[cannabis_flower]

71. I also like

Thelma and Louise

[radical noodle]

27. I was just about to post her name

Yes. She and the others mentioned here, but she is the top of my do-not-watch list at the moment.

[liberalmuse]

37. I don't like some of her tactics.

But I love most of her movies and will watch them. Hard core lefties who might tick me off don’t bother me as much as right wing whack jobs, racists, wife beaters, misogynists, sex traffickers, sexual predators or pedophiles. Most of the more toxic conservatives can’t act anyway (Seagall, Norris, Lowe, Chachi, etc.) I think the exception is James Woods, who used to be considered a decent actor but is so nauseatingly right wing that I will channel surf right over his stuff (except “Casino” where DeNiro cancels him out.) I used to enjoy Woody Allen movies but can’t bring myself to watch them anymore. Spacey too. Right wingers who have 1 or 2 movies I will watch: Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson.

I can’t watch Angelina Jolie after seeing “The Tourist”. Her performance was just awful in a way that really annoyed me due to her affectation. There are also actors I don’t like (Cruise, DiCaprio) but am pleasantly surprised whenever I watch their movies. I watch Charelton Heston for the camp. Another bad right wing actor.

[Salviati]

104. Who?

[catbyte]

24. Adam Sandler, definitely. Rob Schneider is right up there, along with the late

Chris Farley. Just. Not. Funny.

[2naSalit]

126. and David Spade.

[Shrek]

26. Meryl Streep n/t

[radical noodle]

30. She's a favorite of mine

[NRaleighLiberal]

32. probably my favorite actress of all time.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. Seriously? She's excellent in everything she does.

And if politics is an issue, she's a devout lefty who spoke for Hillary at the DNC and more recently scorched Trump at the Cecil B. DeMille Awards ceremony. She's done a lot for feminist causes, too.

[hlthe2b]

52. Oh my heavens. I ADORE Meryl Streep. She's a great actress AND a dedicated progressive as well.

[Ohiogal]

29. You folks have already named my most disliked actors ....

Tom Cruise
John Wayne
Steven Seagal
Chuck Norris
Adam Sandler

[NRaleighLiberal]

31. Will Ferrell, The Rock, Bruce Willis, Seagal and Norris of course, Johnny Depp, Clive Owen,

Clint Eastwood, Matthew McConaughey, Bradley Cooper, Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell, Owen Wilson, Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Nicholas Cage, Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughan, Vin Diesel, Ahnold S, Adam Sandler, David Spade, John Travolta, James Woods, Rob Schneider


to name a few!

[Ohiogal]

36. Some good (bad) ones there, NRaleighLiberal!

How could I forget about Sylvester Stallone in particular!

[rampartc]

44. rocky is great

ither than that i can't watch it

[IcyPeas]

107. Why Clive Owen?

I really liked The Knick.

[NRaleighLiberal]

111. Just don't care for his appearance, voice, acting, his movies

One of those reaction things

My movie tastes are very fringe/esoteric anyway.

[LAS14]

136. You don't see a lot of movies, I guess. nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

143. I see tons of movies - but not with those actors.

We don't do action and adventure, any of the recent superhero stuff - we stick independent, foreign, etc.

Haven't liked pretty much any new releases over the past few years - the big box office stuff.

[LAS14]

146. I agree that there are fewer and fewer movies that I'll go see, and...

... I used to characterize myself as someone who would watch any movie. I enjoyed an action hero every few years, etc. But this year there seemed to be nothing but action hero and animation. Obviously there were some things, but nothing I was interested in.

[NRaleighLiberal]

147. we've moved on to the long series - Better Call Saul, before that Breaking Bad -

Fargo - seems like the series can do more fringey stuff because they are not trying to put people in seats to watch ads and buy overpriced food.

But we've noticed that since Hulu, Netflix, Amazon are grinding out the series, the quality is starting to do down a bit on them as well.

[LAS14]

148. Yeah, there's some good stuff there, but I do like the experience of being...

... in the big dark room with someone else's popcorn, away from it all.

[Squinch]

34. Nicholas Cage.

[spooky3]

42. Even in Raising Arizona? I thought he was hilarious

in that.

[Squinch]

46. Even then! Something about his voice.

[Cousin Dupree]

61. I loved him in Moonstruck

[lunamagica]

69. Moonstruck is one of my favorite movies. I never get tired of watching it.

[Squinch]

78. I loved Moonstruck. But for me the action ground to a halt

whenever he was on.

[exboyfil]

80. How can you miss out on

Not the bees. Not the bees.

Pure cinematic gold. How the hell do a remake for one of the best horror movies of all time.

[Squinch]

97. Oh, no! I never saw that remake. Bees? The burning wasn't enough?

[exboyfil]

100. A word of advice

Rewatch the original instead. Some things can't be unseen. This and the remake of Rollerball are my two biggest video watching mistakes in my life.

[Squinch]

102. I really liked the original. It had its own level of cheese, but the cheese in that one just made

it even more awesome.

[Uben]

35. Bill Cosby for sure!

[jberryhill]

176. What movies was he ever in?

[Seedersandleechers]

38. Tom Cruise

[GP6971]

39. Gary Busey. nt

[Ohiogal]

65. Oh yeah

Garey Busey is another one who makes me.

[we can do it]

47. Adam Sandler. Jim Carrey. pResidunt drump.

[ret5hd]

50. Ronald Reagan!

[House of Roberts]

133. I can't believe it took this many replies to get his name on here.

I can't even stand to watch promos for Death Valley Days if he's on them. He also used to host the show for a couple of seasons.

[Leith]

138. I got my first case of hives watching Death Valley days

with him narrating. True story. It was on the inside of my left wrist.

[empedocles]

178. A real 'stiff'

[imavoter]

53. anything with Patricia Heaton

I just can't stand to watch her, and her voice drives me crazy.
Never could watch that Raymond show.
Or her newer show.
That's a Hard Pass, for me.

I'm sure I could think of others, but she's my number one.

[Kittycow]

58. Same on Patricia Heaton plus Tim Allen.

They've just been too offensive and delusional in their political attacks against liberals and President Obama.

[imavoter]

59. I don't really care for her reguardless of her politics.

Tim Allan is ok for me in small doses.

I never could stand to watch or listen to Trump, long before the current bull sh$%.
So I guess I could add him, but I try not to think about him.

[Basic LA]

54. Matthew McConoughey

[The Figment]

56. Allright,Allright,Allright! Nt

[58Sunliner]

55. Charlton Heston.

[nevergiveup]

60. Susan Sarandon

[still_one]

103. ++++++++++++++++

I’ll add Eastwood to my list also

[Polly Hennessey]

62. I wish I had an explanation for not liking her.

Julia Roberts. She twirls, she smiles, she struts, she is annoying. Don’t get her acting chops, either. Mediocre at best.

[Honeycombe8]

151. I totally agree. I'm not alone in the world!

I felt like I was floating out in the sky, the only one in the world who didn't care for Julia Roberts or think she's a great actress. Now I know there are at least several of us.

[JenniferJuniper]

63. John Wayne

[mitch96]

66. All politics aside, I cant stand john candy and chuckles norris..

And don't get me started on TV actors....
m

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

94. Oh, I loved John Candy.

He seemed luck such a sweet person. I'm still heartbroken that he died so young.

Only the Lonely was a wonderful film, just to name one of his.

[Kurt V.]

70. I'll go with Norris and Seagal too.

but seeing voight mentioned above is surprising to me.

[NBachers]

72. In most cases, I can separate politics from TV & film roles. That said: Rosie O'Donell, Pauly Shore,

Tom Green; I can't stand Russell Brand, even though he has his acolytes around here. I even find Adam Sandler's name annoying. Rosanne Barr is poison.

I'm going to buck the trend here, because I can plug into the worlds of Chuck Norris, Stephen Seagal, Nicolas Cage, Arnold, and Sylvester Stallone, and experience them as an alternate universe they live in. Even James Woods and Jon Voight are watchable because they revel in their own ooze. Just watch Jon Voight in "Anaconda" and prove me wrong. But I'll draw the line at Norm McDonald.

[Honeycombe8]

86. The reason I pass up Norris & Seagal is not politics.

It's because they are reeeeeaaaaaallly bad actors. I did better than they can, when I was a kid putting on plays with my sisters. How someone gets rich & famous doing a bad job at something is mind boggling, when there are so many good actors around.

They consistently star in the same movie over and over, with different names and costumes. That's why I pass them up.

I don't like Russell Brand personally, but I think he's actually very good at acting the types of characters he does. I recently saw an Eric Idle stand-up play (the kind where the actors stand behind microphones on stage). It was wonderful! Eric Idle wrote most of it, I think. Brand played one of the characters....he takes his acting seriously. He doesn't kid around. He shows up and does his job. He was great in his character, and his lines were funny.

Voight is a pretty good actor. Terrible person, but good actor.

I don't think I've ever seen an Adam Sandler movie. I guess I don't like the kinds of movies he's in.

For the most part, I don't refuse to watch Republican actors. It's more if they have said or done something particularly offensive to me. I'd put Mel GIbson in that category. Maybe Woody Allen.

[NBachers]

115. I was watching a "Walker Texas Ranger" the other day. I laughed out loud at one of the scenes-

Something Bad had been done by one of the Bad Guys. Chuck got into his truck and went off to settle the score. There was a close-up of Chuck in the driver's seat, looking mad, determined, and noble. I had to laugh, because that one close-up was the entire Walker Texas Ranger series- I didn't even have to watch another episode, because the entire show was encapsulated was distilled down into that one shot.

[Honeycombe8]

132. LOL! You nailed it. LOL! nt

[cannabis_flower]

73. Here's some I'm surprised I haven't seen

Jean Claude Van Damme
Rosanne
Gilbert Gottleib

[Beringia]

75. Not flipping channels, but when I look for a movie, any of the young vacuous actresses

Which there seem to be oh so many.

[Brainstormy]

76. those, plus

Mathew McConaughey. He seems SO conceited. .

[Soxfan58]

82. Robert Wagner!

[milestogo]

83. Clint Eastwood

[CTyankee]

90. I don't like his politics but he was great in the "Bridges of Madison County."

[MissMillie]

163. I don't like his politics either, but

He was stellar in Million Dollar Baby.

But he's better behind the camera than in front of it.

[stopbush]

84. Jesse Eisenberg, Susan Sarandon, Mel Gibson.

[exboyfil]

105. Jesse Eisenberg

World's worst casting for the DCEU.


No. I am not going to give up watching Zombieland, Road Warrior or Rocky Horror.

[True Dough]

85. I don't expect all the ladies to agree

because these two make some swoon, but George Clooney and Ashton Kutcher. Find them both smug and I never see them in character, no matter role.

And politics isn't the issue, obviously.

[Honeycombe8]

89. I didn't like Clooney until I saw Wherefore Art Thou, Brother? Did you see that?

When it came out, a friend had recommended it to me. I said "no, thanks. I don't like Clooney." She wouldn't tell me what it was about, but said, "It's not what you think. Watch it." So I did. He was wonderful in that role and movie. His character was a spoof on narcissistic, self-involved country bumpkins who think they are more than they what they are.

Technically speaking, he is an excellent actor. At least he has earned his accolades, unlike some others (like Chuck Norris, who can't act at all; he just says lines in a wooden manner). I don't find Clooney particularly handsome or sexy, though, unlike most women.

Ashton Kutcher is also a good actor. In some roles, yu can't see the Kutcher behind the character, even. He's not a great actor. But good. He's also drop dead gorgeous, IMO.

For another drop dead gorgeous actor/entertainer, I'd have to go with Hugh Jackman. He's my idea of perhaps the perfect man. Likeable, multi-talented, friendly to people, devoted to his wife and a family man, handsome, doesn't rely on his good looks to carry him through. (be still my heart )

[Kurt V.]

92. oh brother, where art thou is the cohen bros take on homer' odyssey. i love all the cohen bros

moveis but I've seen oh brother like 15 times.

[Honeycombe8]

129. Yeah, I've seen it several times. Love everything about it. Esp. the music. nt

[True Dough]

93. Nope, O Brother, Where Art Thou

is not my style of film (and it starred Clooney).

As for Hugh Jackman, I'm not bothered by him but there's not any movie of his that I can think of that I've really enjoyed, although I have seen very few.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

95. Clooney was also excellent

in Up In the Air. I had loved the book, and the movie is quite different, but equally excellent. And what I liked best about his performance in it is all of his scenes with Anna Kendrick. It would have been too easy to hit a wrong note, or to come on to her, however subtly, but he never does. That movie alone made me respect him immensely as an actor.

[Squinch]

118. Michael Clayton. Fabulous!

[Honeycombe8]

130. I thought so, too. I've seen it several times. Michael Clayton's excellent, too.

Clooney's been in some really good movies. He's A list, so he gets offered the cream of the crop.

[Iggo]

114. That's wen I started liking him, too.

Once I knew he was a goof.

[Honeycombe8]

131. Yeah...once I saw that he was willing to be a dork character....

and not always look good. And the character sort of spoofed how handsome actors are self-consumed, which I thought was cool, since he's considered a handsome actor.

I've also know a person or two like his character. He was spot on, and the Cohen's were, too, in the writing of that sort of character. Loved the film.

[crazytown]

88. George Clooney

Joking

Nicole Kidman

[LAS14]

137. Why Nicole Kidman?? nt

[crazytown]

139. She can't act

If someone told me she’s an amnatronic mannequin from the future, I’d ask, where did you park the DeLorean?

[Honeycombe8]

173. OMG! I think she's one of the best actors around. Oscar winner...multiple types of characters.

She can play almost any sort of character totally believably.

Sometimes pretty women get short shrift for their acting chops. A person can dislike her, but there's no doubt that she's one of the best actors around.

Marilyn Monroe was also a pretty good actress, but that was overshadowed by her sex symbol status.

If you see Kidman in The Paperboy (offensive movie) and To Die For, she plays two very different characters (the latter is a real person), and she does both practically perfectly and totally believably. Not many actors can do that.

By contrast, actors like Kevin Costner reached the highs of fame and glory on mediocre acting skills. It's so easy for white males in the acting business. Most roles are for males.

I understand you think differently, and I don't mean to argue, but as a movie buff, I feel passionately about the subject, so I just had to hit one for the gipper, so to speak! (Someone actually said to me once that she didn't think Meryl Streep could act very well, and did bad accents. Really! She was probably a Chuck Norris lover.)

[crazytown]

175. It's personal I guess

I’m allergic to Kidman. She’s good enough in To Die For, but set against that is Dogville, the worst acting I’ve ever seen from a major star.

At best, my friends describe my views on Kidman, ‘eccentric’. I’ve heard of people who loathe Streep, so I understand where thet’re coming from. I remember when I first heard Moulin Rouge be starring Kidman, I remember walking into the theater apprehensive, and walking out afterwards shaking my head. It’s visceral - I can’t stand her.

I wish I hadn’t mentioned it.

EDIT- While I thought she was terrible in Dogville, Princess Grace was rock bottom. I thought, well, for once she looks the part and how hard can it be to put a human face on the Ice Queen? I literally walked out.

[CTyankee]

91. Dustin Hoffman.

He slapped Meryl Streep hard by surprise in Kramer v. Kramer. She can't stand him. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about her other leading men, even Clint Eastwood altho she noted their distinctly different political views. And Clint adored her.

[CharleyDog]

96. on pondering this question, it turns out all the actors that

set my teeth on edge and I hasten to remove from sight are from political shit they say. They may be good actors, but
the misogyny and or RW crap they spew causes me to get the hook.

James Woods
Mel Gibson
Kevin Spacey
Susan Sarandon
Wood Allen
Clint Eastwood

Adam Sandler is just obnoxious like a lot of others, or bad actors, like The Rock, Stallone, or Segal are not fun to watch yet doable. But the sexual/political shit bothers me the most and I would rather watch paint dry.

[Bayard]

98. Dang, you guys are naming some of my favorites

I can separate a movie from an actor's politics. I guess action/adventure movies are one of my many character flaws.

There's a few things of Tom Cruise's I've liked, but mostly not. Can't do Sandler or Seagal. Chuck Norris looks too much like my ex, but shorter.

[Irishxs]

99. Jim carey

[Submariner]

101. Jennifer Aniston

Lousy acting skills.

[samplegirl]

106. Clint Eastwood

[happybird]

108. Kristin Stewart, Steven Seagal

are my top two offenders. Also, John Claude Van Damme. All are just horrible actors.

Russell Brand annoys the crap out of me.

Johnny Depp- used to love him, but something obviously went wrong at some point in the last decade or so.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

121. Seagal, Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren and Eric Roberts.

[ProudLib72]

183. I can take Dolph. He's not a good actor, but something about him makes me think he's ok

Maybe because I have the feeling he doesn't play up his macho toughness like the others? Or he does so with humor?

[Jake Stern]

109. Top of my list: Lena Dunham

Who I find, thanks to her need to almost pathological need to expose herself, both figuratively and literally, to be revolting.

Right behind her is:

Adam Sandler
David Spade

[Ernesto]

110. Ben Stiller

[Iggo]

112. Bradley Cooper.

Ever since Alias.

[Honeycombe8]

141. Boom! A more arrogant actor has never existed. Nope...not gonna watch him. nt

[empedocles]

177. Wedding Crashers?

[Even Cooper winces at that one]

[Goodheart]

113. These days? Susan Sarandon. Used to love her but now can't stomach to watch.

[Honeycombe8]

142. I gotta agree. This is one of the few I won't watch, even tho I like her movies...

and think she's a really good actress.

I rarely don't watch people because of politics, but she is an exception. I just don't see her the same way, ever since she pulled her third party stunt garbage.

Maybe this will pass in time. I don't know.

[Fla Dem]

117. Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, (even before the scandal), Ashton Kutcher

John Travolta. I'm sure thee's others but these are the ones that come to mind.

[Honeycombe8]

152. Wow. Those are my favorites, incl. Spacey (even after the scandal).

They're all first rate actors, IMO. Full of themselves, arrogant as hell (except Arkin), but first rate actors.

You think they're bad actors, or you just don't like them? Like I dislike Chuck Norris and Julia Roberts. I think they're not good actors AND I just don't like them.

[Pisces]

128. Kevin Costner

[IADEMO2004]

134. Brothers Matt and Kevin Dillon

[Leith]

140. Clint Eastwood

And I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one. Just what do his fans see in him?!

Adam Sandler, too. The weird, goofy character he did on SNL keeps coming through.

[Doodley]

155. Are you kidding? Clint Eastwood is great at his quiet brooding characters.

He is one of the most talented guys in Hollywood.

[MandelaObama]

144. J-Lo comes to mind

She's never been a favourite of mine but I tried watching her in "Monster In Law" the other day and...gah!...it was too awful to stand Time has not mellowed my impression of her

[MrScorpio]

145. John Wayne

[samnsara]

149. Gibson for sure and Bill Murray....

[Honeycombe8]

150. Bill Murray?

Granted, he's made a couple of duds. But even Groundhog Day? That's a pretty good movie. You just don't like him?

What's cool about Murray (to the extent that any successful actor is cool), is that he doesn't have an agent and takes calls directly. He isn't "handled," as they say. That's pretty cool and down to earth, as well as saves him a lot of money.

But he made a movie where he looks up a lot of past girlfriends, because he thinks one of them had his kid. He rarely speaks in the movie. It's pretty odd...and kinda hard to believe that he'd had that many girlfriends. Lost in Translation was boring.

[The Genealogist]

153. Tim Allen

The very sight of his face ruins my day. I cant think of a single thing he has done that I personally consider watchable.

[underpants]

156. Mark Ruffalo - Jeffrey Wright

Won’t change the channel but I just don’t care for either of them as actors

[madaboutharry]

157. Nick Nolte

Matthew Mcconaughey
Mel Gibson
Gwyneth Paltrow

[LAS14]

164. Why Gwyneth Paltrow?

[madaboutharry]

167. she is smug and her Goop lifestyle brand is weird and

elitist. It caters to wealthy women who can spend a lot of money on new age bullshit. There are better things one can choose to do with the privilege of celebrity.

[TygrBright]

158. Woody Allen

Although I did enjoy a couple of his earlier screwball comedies with Diane Keaton (Sleeper, Bananas), just about everything after that devolved into self-referential angsty NY nebbish shtick to the extent of making it irrelevant to me.

The child molestation stuff just put the cherry on top.

wearily,
Bright

[solara]

160. It's a wonder I ever see anything

Chuck Norris
Tom Cruise
Steven Seagal
Gary Busey
Van Damme
Pauly Shore
Julia Roberts
Kristen Stewart
John Voight
Mel Gibson
Gilbert Gottlieb
Randy Quaid
Rosanne
Clint Eastwood
Ronald Reagan
Stephen Baldwin
James Woods
Adam Sandler
Lindsay Lohan
Rosie O’Donnell
Susan Sarandon
Joey Lawrence
Shannen Doherty
Lowry Twins
Any Kardashian or Jenner
Beau Bridges

I'm sure there are more.


Guess I am just unforgiving and hard to please.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

162. Andrew Dice Clay, except he was pretty good in "A Star is Born" nt

[Honeycombe8]

172. There's one I won't see..the remake of A Star is Born (Bradley Cooper-yuk).

Bradley Cooper is one of those super arrogant actors I don't like to see, now.

But Andrew Dice Clay was pretty good in Blue Jasmine, a Woody Allen movie.

[Harker]

165. If I watched movies on TV...

Cameron Diaz
Adam Sandler

I could, of course, go on...

[MissMillie]

166. Those were the first two that came to my mind

Then again, I don't like a lot of those kinds of movies. (Someone gets shot, there's a fist-fight, a car gets blown up.... blah blah blah)

[llmart]

169. Clint Eastwood and Adam Sandler

Every movie Eastwood's in he has the same monotone voice and facial expressions. I have never understood what anyone saw in his movies.

Adam Sandler is just not an actor as far as I'm concerned.

Woody Allen has always creeped me out and I don't find him funny at all.

[Honeycombe8]

171. In his earlier movies, he wasn't so smug.

Happiness was really good. So was...I think it was called Legend? (He and his dog were the last ones on earth left.) Then he started getting all full of himself. Like Julia Roberts.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

185. I Am Legend

The third and most recent movie made from the Richard Matheson story. The prior two starred Vincent Price and Charleton Heston.

I kind of liked him in Enemy of the State but it doesn't get much worse than After Earth.

[pressbox69]

174. Richard Gere

[avebury]

181. Tom Cruise, Tom Selleck, Chuck Norris, Mel Gibson,

James Woods, any Kardashian, Kirk Cameron and probably a whole lot more.

[IH8TU]

182. Ray Romano

Tim Allen
Steven Seagal
Chuck Norris
Owen Wilson
James Woods
Patricia Heaton

[ProudLib72]

184. Jimmy Stewart
