I often see threads in here asking who peoples favourite actor and actresses are. I thought it might be interesting to hear who everyone thinks is their worst.
For me the worst actor has to be Keenu Reeves, altho he is an easy target, most peopel would agree with me on that one. If i had to choose another i'd say Sylvester Stallone or steven Seagal.
As for actresses i'd say Lindsey Lohan, Kate Beckinsale and Madonna, although she was ok in Evita.
Would love to hear others opinions dancing

Agree with you 100% on Keanu... More expression from a plank of wood!

Arnie.. And anyone that was in Avatar!
Samantha mumbas effort in Time Machine was kinda cringe worthy too

I have to agree with you on Arnie too...i guess there are alot of useless actors. I don't know what the producers were thinking when they chose Mumba for the role in The Time Machine, i guess she was flavour of the month at the time. I actually met her once, sold her an Ipod.

That is due to focus-group driven production companies in Hollywood. A bankable star nearly always stays similar to their most famous role. That is why Robert De Niro is forever stuck playing basically the same character. Look further afield than Hollywood for originality!

My nomination for worst actor (ignoring the acting black holes that is Fair City and sticking to famous actors)is Charlton Heston. The definition of ham actor. Worst actress goes to Whoopi Goldberg. Lots of other potential candidates though!

Ben Affleck gets a hard time, unfair in my view. It just became popular during the Bennifer phase to say he was crap. He has been very good in some decent movies.

Godsgift: I think it's Nicholas Cage. YUP! He's crap too!

And the most boring comedy actor of the lot:

Steve Martin!

What were they thinking of when they put him in the role of Inspecteur Clouseau in the Pink Panther movies, a roll previously played by a comedy genius who will never be replaced in the form of Peter Sellers!


Two pretty woeful actors there! Steve Martin is just awful.

Nicholas Cage has to be up there as worst actor ever.

Woody Allen another one who just plays himself.

He's about as wooden an actor as I've ever seen.

That's sacrelige! I saw Charlton Heston part the Red Sea at least 4 times and on one occaision give Jesus a drink of water on the way up the hill with his cross!laugh

But I think your right about De Niro though I loved the speeach he gave in Scent of a Woman.

I'd say Sean Penn has proved his worth though!grin
