Actors you can't stand.

Mark Wahlburg.

For some reason he believes breathing hard as if he’s just completed a marathon is good acting. I can’t stand watching him.
Yeah, I just think he is a shit actor. It actively pains me to watch him knowing he has been nominated two times for an acting Oscar.

Holy shit yes. This guy. I was so worried about Altered Carbon s2 but thankfully he wasn't too bad in it.

S02 was so much worse than S01, I couldn't believe it. It was like a whole different production. Mackie was not the key factor though.

Definitely some unorthodox calls in this thread but that’s cool, that’s what it’s for. Of the ones mentioned, I gotta echo Jillian Bell and Brie Larson. Those two got a similar shtick actually.

Personally for the longest time it was Nicholas Cage. Strangely I’ve warmed to him as he’s vanished somewhat from the spotlight. So for me, it’s Miles Fucking Teller. Can’t stand him or his face.

For me:

Michael fucking Rappaport: How in the hell has he continued to play himself for decades and absolutely suck at doing so?

Natalie Portman: Why do I have to keep pretending she is a great actress? Kunis blew her away in Swan.

Melanie Griffith: Older, but that breathless delivery drove me crazy.

I think when it comes to Bill Murray, Tom Cruise, and some of these others...I think a lot of it has to do with when you experienced their movies. Cruise was a hero to me when I was a young man for banging out a smoking Rebecca Demornay and running a brothel. Like Ferris Bueller. No one would say, right now, that Broderick is great. Back then,when I was a little kid, absolute hero.

So, you're saying this after having watched True Detective?

He overdid the gritty cool antihero thing most of the season. The only part where he was actually really good was in the final(?) scene. That was strong stuff but for the most part I couldn't care less what he talked. It's partly because of the script but also because of the way he played his part.

I think I love every actor mentioned in here except Sean Penn. But he caught El Chapo, so he gets a pass.

Any actor that shows symptoms of TDS.

Sadly this, and I'm not even a fan of Trump! It's just the fact that they pile on just to virtue signal, and even then- who are virtue signalling to???
Anyway, Ellen Degeneres I can't stand (even though she is in a film I love that seems to be forgotten call EDtv, and she was pretty good in it. It was before she got her TV show and thought she was an untouchable human being).
Kumail Nanjiani. I cannot see how this guy could possibly star in anything. How did he become famous? Sucking up to the right people? Either way, he shits me.
Jim Carrey. I used to LOVE Jim Carrey, and still love Dumb and Dumber and the original Ace Ventura. I can watch those films and see a guy willing to give it his all without being a pretentious prick. Then he went all crazy and I thought, fuck you. Just completely turned me off him and I can't watch anything he is in now (I must admit I though he was OK in Sonic).
Brie Larson. Just cannot stand the smug attitude.

Quick edit- The Rock Dwayne Johnson. I've yet to see him star in anything even remotely considered half decent. The (VERY) poor mans Schwarzenegger.

There are many others that I just can't think of at the moment, but these were the 1st that popped into my head.

Chloe Grace Moretz has to be the worst actress alive. I didn't know boards of dry wood could even speak.
She can't emote for shit, she's so fucking stiff and annoying.

Kodi Smit-McPhee was fine in The Road, and then I saw him in X-Men, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Let Me In, and Slow West, and I realized that "whimpering pathetic little kid" is the only role he knows how to play, even as an adult.

Freddie Highmore was a cringy as fuck child actor. Don't know how he is as an adult.

Jaden Smith, for obvious reasons.

LOL at OP, I agree that Matt. McConnowho is someone I never want to see.

Some great suggestions from others:

Martin Short

Ryan Reynolds - piggy eyed little shit.
Jared Leto - "I'm mad me!" and nothing else.

Owen fucking Wilson. I hate his face, his stupid fucking nose, his horrible voice and his goddamned smile. Ugggh

But most of all, who I came here to post is...

BEN STILLER.

Just knowing that his face is permanently printed on a million VHS and DVDs pisses me off.

The dude that played the Flash in the movies, not only did he ruin a great character he’s a dick in person.
 
Tessa Thompson. She looks like a random nobody waitress in some shithole town and her characters have a shitty attitude.

Don't bother come and white knight her.

Adam Sandler. I've made a point to never see a movie he is first billed in, and he's done the same shit since 1988. I don't get the fucking references to Billy Madison when someone mentions it. :messenger_smirking: Something about the Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo and Jon Hamm clique I can't stand. If they are in a movie I see, then so be it.

Ellen - unfunny, cunt

Tom Cruise - scientologist, weirdo

David Spade - overrated, snarky, arrogant

The previous poster really brings up a great point.
Scientology actors are uniformly terrible but Travolta is the worst.

Dax Shepard! I FUCKING HATE THIS GUY SO MUCH!!!!!! Everything he does strikes me as the most fake ass behavior I've ever seen. His wife is cute and instantly becomes disgusting in his presence. Everything from their videos together just screams fake douchebaggery
