Wesley Snipes
Bill Pullman (who can't make me believe the line "Hi I'm Bill Pullman")
Bill Paxton (except in Frailty)
Pauly Shore
Jim Carey *ducks* (except in Batman & Liar Liar)
Nicholas Cage (can only do the wierd screwed up guy thing - VERY limited)
Keaunu (of course)
Madonna (great at lots of stuff - NOT acting)
Arnie (who has gotten better with age - much work still needed)
Wesley Snipes again
Earnest from the Earnest movies
David Schimmer (though the rest of the friends cast does okay)

the new guy in Law & Order Criminal Intent - I don't know if it's his fault (he was also the Alien in MiB) or the writers of that horrible "looks at you and knows your inner secrets" character that I hate hate hate.

Ah hell, Wesley Snipes and Bill Pullman once again.

Brad Pitt gets an honorable mention but was removed from the list after FIGHT CLUB.

Paul Reubenfeld aka "PeeWee Herman"
I rest my case.

Don't you wish we could (forget them) lol

I actually liked Keiffer in Young Guns and Lost Boys, everything else sucks</font>[/QUOTE]I had forgotten about Young Guns! I'll give him that one. I think he overdid it in Lost boys though...(the son of an already popular actor trying to prove himself kind of overdoing it). Just my opinion [img]smile.gif[/img]

Kudos to KAR_MOD1 for adding Paul Ruebens to the list LOL.
If you can take him as PeeWee Herman (or the Hamburger dude in the Cheech & Chong Movie "Nice Dreams") then you've really got guts LOL!
I give him a lot of credit for his role in "Blow" though...normal voice, normal persona for the character he played...it was a pleasant surprise to see him actually play a character well!

Jim Carey- check!
Rob Schneider- check!
Woody Allen-check!

I like Kevin Costner! (Do you think me wicked?) ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I concur that Paul Ruebens was pretty good in Blow. In fact, his acting was second only to that of J. Depp's hair, which should have gotten an Oscar for its supporting role. :D ;)

Bill Paxton was good as Hudson in Aliens, so I've nothing against the guy.

John Travolta was very good in Pulp Fiction, but that's mainly from an absolutley genius script rather than anything else.

I second the statement about Jackie Chan being good for his stunts and skills rather than his acting skills, so he shouldn't be in the worst 10.

Sylvester Stallone was f***ing appalling in "Driven". Anyone seen that? That is my all time worst movie, next to D&D of course.

Dude Where's my Car was indeed close to the top of the "Aztek of Movies" list. (for you non-americans the Aztek is without a doubt the ugliest car ever to have driven off an assembly line)

More Mindless Drivel...

- Who Fingered Freddie (although I must admit to laughing a lot during that movie... it was soo BAD)
- Xanadu - Walked out in the middle of that one
- Scary Movie - Some like it but I don't recall laughing once the whole movie... just stupid adolescent humor (which usually I like :D )
- Blair Witch Project - Scarry? NO... just laughably lame
- Howard the Duck - who ever said ducks were funny... didn't see this movie.

oops... just realized this was a bad actor thread...

- the kid who played Annakin in the Phantom Menace
- the kid who played Annakin in Attack of the Clones

I thought Rob Schnieder was great in Deuce Bigalow. And you guys have named some pretty good actors here. Kiefer Sutherland is great in Young Guns and 24 has been airing in OZ for a few weeks now and he's pretty good in that and if you want to see a good movie with Kevin Costner in it watch 13 days. It's a fantastic movie.
