Worst actor and worst actress?
Worst actor: David Caruso. Too bad, too, because he was pretty good in NYPD Blue before signing on with CSI Miami and deciding to make every scene intolerably dramatic. "Okay, Calleigh, here's what we're going to do. We need to fasten these pieces of paper together, but we can't let IAB know about it. So what I need you to do is to pass me...(puts on sunglasses)...THE STAPLER."

Worst actress: Can't remember her name and I'm too lazy to look it up (I know you guys will know it), but she played Jack Bauer's daughter on 24. Nice looking to be sure, but an awful actress who couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag holding a machete.

Your opinions? Honorable mentions welcome as well.

40. I would like to see her in that wet paper bag, as has been suggested.
Could she act herself out of it? Well, we'll have to see, won't we? Acting or not, I'd enjoy that show.

What? You can't walk into a room and say "Hi" without overemoting and trying to make it the the most profound thing anyone ever said?

23. OK, I accept your compromise.
Although, I DO think he's decent enough to have some lines in the porn I'm writing for him. You can always mute them if you have a problem with it. Hmph.

33. I know. He was wonderful in Room with a View but in everything after he was TERRIBLE.
His overenunciation is bordering on sounding like a speech disability.

I was thinking he was going for a cross between Brooklyn and Kentucky. Too weird.

49. ugh
I can't stand Andy Garcia. That accent! It's Cuban, in theory, but doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard.

Yes, he's one of the worst.

Actresses? Darryl Hannah is pretty bad, though I loved her in Kill Bill 2. Maybe camp is what she needs.

And I know I'm in the minority here, but I think Diane Keaton is just godawful. Try watching The Godfather movies and pay attention to her - she stinks up every scene she's in.

19. I agree but I hafta admit loving Dark Angel
I guess the snotty precocious thing worked for her in that series, but it IS hard to take her as a serious actor in the shit she is in now. She really does have only one act, and that is acting like she's too good to be there; who knows that might just be her natural personality and she never acts :shrug:

47. Does Dane Cook even count as an actor?
In my opinion: No.

He's also a terrible comedian.

I have a really irrational hatred of the man.

15. I think January Jones is pretty awful
I love, love, LOVE Mad Men, but although she's quite beautiful, you could get more emotion out of a block of wood. She's definitely the weak link in that show. And she can't hold a cigarette comfortably, even after a full season of chain smoking.

28. Ever seen the tape of Keanu doing Hamlet
in high school. Make sure you have everything you need to gouge your eyeballs out and do a self-lobotomy first. He may be cute, but the boy can't act.

Although, sleeping with Geffen was a good career move - so he might be smart.

"Mr. Reeves said all the words in the correct order."

51. "Was it raining? I hadn't noticed?" WORST. LINE. EVER.
I really enjoyed Four Weddings and a Funeral, but I never understood why they chose her for the role.

The other line that blew my mind was when she said "That's what I get for marrying a man three times my age." Uh, honey, that would've made him about 120.

Other than that, just pick any actor and actress. Someone thinks they are the best, someone the worst.

22. Albert Brooks and Gwyneth Paltrow.
OK maybe Brooks is "funny" somehow and maybe a good actor but seeing his name associated with a movie is just like an iron clad guarantee I will hate it. Paltrow has been in some movies I like (Talented Mr Ripley for example) but she is so stiff and does this annoying almost-English accent in anything she is in and it always seems so snooty and put-on. Can't stand her personality and don't think much of her as a "great beauty" either.

27. Brooks is actually a good screenwriter
and funny. But he should stick to that and quit trying to act.

Edited on Thu Jun-05-08 10:00 PM by mitchum
he is also devastatingly funny
I'm in absolute agreement with you about Paltrow, though

45. Ditto for Gwyneth Paltrow
She is a extremely boring actress and very un sexy. As far as bad actors go Sylvester Stallone tops them all.

I know -- he's a comic actor and is thus supposed to be somewhat over-the-top, but that guy makes Jerry Lewis seem like a model of restraint and believability by comparison. :eyes:
