Your actors to avoid list

Are there any actors or actresses whom you dislike to the extent that you avoid every movie they've ever been in?

My list is:
Angelina Jolie: cold and imo lacks charm as an actress.
Holly Hunter: the voice.
Madeleine Stowe (not that you see much of her these days) but she's one of my pet hates from the past
Nicholas Cage
Vin Diesel: not attractive and only does action films, which are not my bag
Steven Seagal: see above
Sylvester Stallone: see above
 
I respect your view totally, but have to say that I've loved all the movies that you've mentioned. :o:)

My respect of him grew after reading The Constant Gardener by John Le Carre, and then seeing the movie afterwarRAB. He truly did seem to match the character that was in the book. Whereas Rachel Weiss, like I said in my post, just lost it for me, considering that the story was centred around her.

I haven't read any of the other books, but again, I suspect that he's been selected because he's suited to those type of roles.

I think Fiennes is selective in his parts of being the refined gentleman type......it's well suited to him. Though that said, I admired the menacing part that he played in Schindler's List. :)
 
I can't actually think of any, I think it's silly to miss what could be a good film just because of one actor, unless you are a large % sure it is going to be rubbish, like any Eddie Murphy film now. I avoid those, but then that's because of the film, not the actor, he just happens to be in such rubbish films now.

I use to be put off by anything with Sam Rockwell in, but after seeing him in Lawn Dogs, for some reason I don't mind him now. :)
 
Adam Sandler is my number one most disliked actor and someone I go out of my way to avoid. Mainly because I find a root canal more fun than the type of "comedy" he promotes.
 
Nicolas Cage can be a great actor at times,

Adaptation
Matchstick Men
Leaving Las Vegas
Bringing Out The Dead
Raising Arizona
Birdy
The Weather Man
Lord Of War
