James Nesbitt. Can't put my finger on what it is about him I don't like, but I simply can't watch anything he is in.
Danny Dyer. Although calling him an actor is probably a bit over the top.
Idris elba is awful in everything but The Wire.
Not having that!
"Can't stand" is probably a bit strong, but I think Billie Piper is very over-rated. I think the accolades are more down to the brilliant plays and TV shows she's been in, rather than her acting skills.
He is made of wood. He cannot act.
Don’t think I’ve seen anything else with him in but I though Luther was great!
Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock)
Jason Statham
Vin Diesel
When I was in college my friend and I had what we called 'the list'. If we didn't like an actor, found them irritating, etc, they would go on the list. Looking back, this was heavily skewed toward women, which is weird (my friend is female, so it wasn't simply a 'men hating successful/unattainable women' thing).
Some are people that would put me off going to see a film:
Renee Zellweger
Catherine Zeta Jones
Some would be people who irritated me, but who I would suffer in their film/show had enough else going for it:
Reese Witherspoon
Julia Roberts
Kirsten Dunst
Nicole Kidman
Leonard DiCaprio
Vincent Kartheiser (now most famous for his role in mad men, but at the time was in the Buffy spin off Angel)
Some are people whose careers didn't last long, or who aren't particularly maintream:
Julie Benz
Claire Kramer
Probably countless others I've forgotten, too.
The List only has a passing mention with my friend these days (our joint cinema visits slowed to a stop as we grew up and got into working life, relationships etc), but we recently agreed to add
Sophie Turner
I'm sure if we sat down and discussed it the list would probably include more men these days (both a mixture of men we have gone off for various reasons (decline in quality of output, revelations about behaviour, etc)
Mel Gibson
Kevin Spacey
Casey Affleck
Nic Cage
Jim Carrey
Adam Sandler
And probably a lot more that aren't springing to mind right now.
"Can't stand" is probably a bit strong, but I think Billie Piper is very over-rated. I think the accolades are more down to the brilliant plays and TV shows she's been in, rather than her acting skills.
I have exactly the same emotions as far as Keira Knightley is concerned.
