Your Nominations for worst actor awards.

[El Presidente]

Another fun cigar deck discussion with the lads....and it was a cracker. God we laughed. 

My nomination : Steven Seagal

No man went so far.... with so little talent. Kudos to him.

Every movie that Ben Affleck was in would have been better if someone else played his role. Even Steven Seagal 😁

Seagal looks like he could clear a buffet while barely shuffling his feet.  

[Greenhorn2]

William Shatner was one I just couldn't get.

[Ford2112]

How do you go from this?

To this?

His movies are trash.

Nicholas Cage. Every time I watch him I am unable to buy into his character. I just sit there watching and saying “That’s Nicholas Cage.”

[JohnS]

The worst acting performance of all time in a film would have to go to Tommy Wiseau in 'The Room'. The worst actor who has made a career out of playing roles badly would have to go to Adam Sandler. Sure, he surprises sometimes with movies like 'Punch-Drunk Love' or 'Uncut Gems', but mostly he plays the same version of Adam Sandler.

[Boxer31]

Barry beat me to it - Nic Cage (every film over acted!!!).

[Li Bai]

The worst performance by a supposedly A-list actor would have to be Matt Damon in The Departed, I wouldn't say he's a bad actor though. Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood is a close second but how would any actor match Daniel Day-Lewis' performance anyway...

Also, any movie with Michael Fassbender or Terrence Howard is a hard pass for me. But we're being sexist here, what about Brie Larson or Kristen Stewart?

Steven Seagal is hard to beat though, below that it's even hard to use the word "actor" but names like Chuck Norris or even worse, Michael Dudikoff stand out.

How dare you. Such a perfect man.

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.

Eric Cantona! I love this guy. I am a fan of Man United's classic adversary, so I tell no one of my admiration of him. Not the worst actor either but barely passable I think. Saw him in Elizabeth, the second one on the plane recently. Loved seeing him in the movie but if it weren't for who he was, the acting would've hardly made the cut. I really like how he made it to cinema and art world in general though, kudos to him. It must be amusing for France to even have him exist at all.

[LaoFan]

While typically I would completely agree that its Nicolas Cage, he's been on a bit of a tear lately IMO.

• Dream Scenario
• The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
• Pig

All quite good films.

I'll always love Cantona but he's no actor at all, of course. Well, he's not much of a public figure at all either here nowadays, not anymore. He made some awkward public moves years ago.

For me, not a lot of solid movies by these people: Dwayne Johnson, Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, Rami Malek, Timothée Chalamet, Eddie Redmayne.

Perhaps you need more of his fine work...

[CaptainQuintero]

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

STOP TRYING TO MAKE GLENN POWELL HAPPEN!

I would think you'd like his role in "Hail Caesar!" especially when Josh Brolin smacks him around. 😁

In similar fashion, I'm not much of a Tom Cruise fan but "Edge of Tomorrow" changed my mind since he got killed like a thousand times.

No one mentioned Jean-Claude Van Damme yet?

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