Your actors to avoid list

Jean Claude Van Damme
Dolph Lundgren
Stephen Seagal

I know if their names are attached to a film it's just going to be a lot of running about, shouting and shooting people so I don't bother.
 
Another vote for Nicholas Cage
Adam Sandler
The one who played Stiffler in American Pie
Jennifer Aniston - you know what's going to happen even before you've watched the end of the trailer

I haven't seen enough of Will Ferrell's films to decide if he's one to avoid or not but despite Anchorman the signs aren't good

Ben Stiller is hovering dangerously close to my avoid list.
 
Kidman got likened to a fruit bat if I remember correctly.

I used to avoid Tom Cruise purely because of his Lord Xenu stuff, but when I view how Christianity is basically at heart a sky fairy, a virgin and her zombie son I let him off.
 
I love threaRAB like this. I find them really entertaining, I think there's been about over 10 of them since I've been posting on here, lol. I understand that people are entitled to their own opinions and I respect them, but most of the actor that are named in this thread are big A-List actors that are renouned for parts they have played extremely well in some really good movies.....obviously not every actor is great in every film, but then no one is perfect.

I agree with some can't stand Ricky Gervais, then again, he's not an actor he's a TOSSPOT, lol

But after reading some people you can't stand, it makes me wonder what are your favourite actors and films they're in, that you can watch over and over again?
 
Russell Crowe Having read about his going ons in real life, and him being a complete dick, I can't help but think 'you're a dick' when I see him in something. Plus I don't actually believe he's that great an actor.
Jack Black Everything he does is so self-indulgent.
Ben Stiller I don't know why, but I never find myself enjoying his performances. I did like Night at the Museum though.
Tom Cruise Same issue as Crowe - he's a complete idiot and can't take him seriously.
Johnny Depp Odd one I know, but I find him overrated, and would never go out of my way to see one of his films.
Mel Gibson Git
 
The Jolie woman, I dislike her and I don't think she can act.

Rene whatsit.

Nicolas Cage - What annoys me no end about him is that I have to watch some of his movies, because the plots interest me! I really wish studios would stop casting him.
 
can't stand any of the following ...

Michael Caine
Tom Cruise
Brad Pitt
Clint Eastwood
Robert Downey Jr.
Danny Dyer
Tom Hanks (though I like his early stuff, before he went up his own arse)
Will Smith
Steven Seagull
Keanu Reeves
Dennis Quaid
Kevin Bacon
Angelina Jolie
Julia Roberts
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Jennifer Lopez
 
To be fair to Stallone, he was in some interesting stuff in the 1970s which could have seen him having a more varied career. His cameo in Woody Allen's "Bananas" was pretty funny, and "Rocky" was a well-intentioned crowd pleaser. Maybe he got rich and famous earlier than was good for him. If only success had come later, we might be lauding him for scripts altogether better than the "Rocky" and "Rambo" reboots. Still, he was serviceable in "Cop Land", and thankfully he was talked out of playing Axel Foley in "Beverly Hills Cop" -he wanted more explosions than the producers would grant him.

Madeleine Stowe was serviceable in "Short Cuts" and, well, beautiful.

Nicolas Cage's presence in films this decade very handily lets you know the flick's one to miss. Although I'd make exception for "The Wicker Man", as its laugh count is higher than most comedies.

Steven Seagal isn't an actor, he's a musician, and an average one at best.

Hugh Grant's a pet hate of mine, especially after "About a Boy".
 
Cant Stand:

Arnie - WTF??

Tom Cruise - HATE cheesey up themselves actors

Ricky Gervais - just no!

Kristin Stewart - only ever seen her portraying the same character in every film she's in - one dimensional, emo-without-the-makeup, stoner chick

Jorja Fox from CSI - does that woman EVER smile??

i know he's not an actor but Rory McGrath sets my teeth on edge whenever he's on TV, he seriously neeRAB a sinus operation (that nasaly whiney yeuch voice :mad::mad::mad:)

I also cannot stand Syd James and Barbara WinRABor (hate hate HATE Carry On films because of them!!) he just comes across as a dirty creepy old perv who your parents warned you to stay away from and Bab's laugh, not sexy more of a rabid chipmunks last squeak before it launches itself at your throat :yawn:
 
Hugh Grant - Unlikeable, annoying, stuttering British stereotype arsehole (Yeah, i really don't like him, lol).

Danny Dyer - Seriously, how the hell does this guy get work? He cant act, he comes across like a massive prick, and he's the same "cockney geeza football hooligan" in every single thing he's ever done.

David Caruso - Horrible, horrible actor, and i used the term "actor" very loosely considering he regularly gets out-acted by a pair of sunglasses...

Rob Schneider - Don't get me started...
