I would agree except I thought he was good in the Departed. 

Blind Squirrel -> Nut. Ya know?

[Ford2112]

I actually know people who are like this. So maybe, these actors are upper echelon?

I had to stop watching a recent series due to Claire Danes.

Laura Dern. After seeing Inland Empire (the worst movie ever made and a brutal endurance test) I just can't look at this face 😕 . If you have seen that movie you know why.

Even good/great actors can put in a bad performance in a bad movie. Often, the process of movie making fails and drags competent talent down. Remember Robin Williams in Popeye? I'd take issue with a few mentioned but Steven Seagal is a disgrace to the screen.

Vin Diesel is terrible.

Marked For Death? Under Siege? Those are classics! Tough crowd.

Keanu Reeves. Pasty and boring. Someone will probably want to slap me because she likes the John Wick movies. Nicholas Cage is an absolute shocker as well. 

Arrgghhh blasphemy!!! 

But then again I don't watch movies for artistic value, I just want senseless violence and a switch off. On this Keanu delivers. In John Wick. And the Matrix. And John Constantine. Oh what a pallet of fine monosyllabic concrete he is

Maybe not the worst, but John Travolta is a no go for me.

[HuffnPuffff]

Nicholas Cage. Unbelievably bad!

After years of watching him ruining films, George Clooney is an automatic pass now; it's guaranteed to be an awful watch.

This is a freezing cold take, in my personal opinion.

STOP TRYING TO MAKE GLENN POWELL HAPPEN! 

Agreed. I enjoyed him in Scream Queens, but putting out 2-3 flics a year is a guaranteed recipe to have one's career fall off a cliff.

I recall @El Presidente has a perfectly rational fear of Toni (who appears to be dealing with lactose intolerance below). That's gotta be enough to qualify her for the list.

So many worsts mentioned, but I definitely agree with Nicolas Cage. Maybe Madonna or Sara Jessica Parker. 🤔 

Cheers

Has anyone said Jared Leto yet? I'm torn between is he just a bad person, or also a bad actor?

I'm right there with you and I can't answer that question either...

John Wayne was no Laurence Olivier.

Great man and a gentleman but pretty one dimensional.

My dad(may he RIP)hated Sly Stallone. I’m a fan of his and would defend some of his work to my dad lol.

You obviously haven't seen Tropic  Thunder. By far his finest work . And it should be noted the only movie he has ever done and not ran in. Maybe take a look at Rock of Ages as well . Mind blowingly  good in that. Outside of those two movies I do agree.

Risky Business?

While he's no A list guy, I've got to go with Gary Busey. Like watching a seriously brain damaged & deranged man trying to remember his lines and role. Bless him, he really is brain damaged due to a motorcycle accident but amazed he still got roles for a time...

Catch Point Break & you get him, Keanu, and Swayze all in one! An acting masterclass LOL!
