What actor or actress do you see that makes your eyes glaze over in boredom?
Edited on Thu May-29-08 02:47 PM by PeterU
My choice would have to be Colin Firth.



I mean, I have nothing against him personally. I don't dislike him. It's just that whatever movie he plays in inevitably ends up to be remarkably dull and uninteresting to me.

10. He was the Prez in Independence Day, right?
What about that dude from Twister and Titanic? He's so incredibly boring it's freakin' unreal. He's so boring I can't even remember his name without going to sleep.

4. Vince Vaughn
He is truly tedious to watch. His Norman Bates in that idiotic, pointless remake of "Psycho" was boring...and I had no idea that you could make that character dull. Well, I guess I was wrong.

15. Jude Law, Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, Hugh Jackman, Cameron Diaz.
and Julia Roberts, strike that, i get pissed when i see Julia Roberts.

Cameron Diaz better save her money because this actress imo will be getting all the parts Cameron Diaz would have.

17. How many bad movies has Andrew McCarthy made worse?....
...Many, including: "Less Than Zero" and "St. Elmo's Fire." Here's an actor whose mere presence on screen directs your attention to Judd Nelson. Need I say more?

25. i think the producers are having a little fun at his expense, so are the writers
they must laugh their asses when they watch their own show. I like regular csi but csi Miami is almost like a satire.

He is indeed the worst actor ever but I love him on CSI: Miami. He kicks ass on that show.

38. Julia Stiles.
She is the most bland, boring, vanilla, personality-lacking actress out there. And that's going some. I'm glad the "Bourne" films had Matt Damon and lots of action to keep me occupied. Otherwise, I would have fallen asleep every time she was on screen. :boring:

42. Bridget Fonda. She is teh SUCK.
Edited on Thu May-29-08 08:23 PM by PassingFair
She LOOKS good enough, BUT....

She is the WORST actress, after Madonna,
to ever stink up the screen. IMO



But I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Colin Firth...

I fell for him in Pride & Prejudice,
and totally believed in him in
Bridget Jones...

I just don't see it, especially when people go on about how beautiful she is. Her face looks quite ordinary to me.
