My votes go to the pretty girls who never developed their acting talent properly: Beyoncé, Christina Ricci, Winona Ryder.

I can't stand Jim Carrey after seeing an interview with him where he kept pulling his trademark faces all the time.

Keira Knightley's a mediocre actress, but worse than that, she looks like a famine survivor, absolutely grotesque.

Always considered JC to be a poor imitation of Bruce Campbell

There's no defending almost all of his later stuff, though.

I thought Costner was mostly a bad actor, but then I just saw A Perfect World, and he was quite good. Probably needs a good director at the helm.

I rather liked Keanu in a few of his roles but I have to agree that he doesn't have much range...or facial expressions...or emotion in his voice. Remind me why I like him?

Hayden Christensen...Lord preserve me but that boy is an awful actor!

Chris Tucker, Jean-Claude van Damme, Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, Giovanni Ribisi, Tom Cruise, Michael Douglas (except for Wall Street), Charlie Sheen...

Angelina Jolie - for the life of me I cannot understand the fuss.

Julia Roberts - see comments re: Angelina.

Kate Hudson - see comments re: Angelina and Julia.

Nicole Kidman - see comments re: Angelina, Julia and Kate

Keira Knightley - see...oh you know what comes next

Diane Keaton - only in roles where she is incapable of completing a sentence. I saw her in Looking for Mr. Goodbar and she was great! What the hell happened since then?

Rosie Perez - that voice...'nuff said.

Generally speaking, the fuss is NOT about her acting abilities.

She was quite good in the recent Duplicity. Also in America's Sweethearts, The Mexican, and, of course, Erin Brockovich. Sometimes it's a long spell between good roles, but she's capable.

Her only decent role was in Almost Famous. I think it was because she was playing herself. Otherwise, a vapid Kewpie doll.

Se my comments on Julia Roberts. In similar fashion she engages in many useless roles. But she is capable of good things. She was incredible in Birthday Girl and creditable in The Golden Compass.

No arguments from me here.

Rosie seems to play just one role, and it's name is "annoying". But that fit very well in White Men Can't Jump (Appearing on Jeopardy in competition with a rocket scientist was a hoot) and Fearless as a distraught mother. But I'll always forgive her for her trespasses because she is also a very talented choreographer (who knew?) and mapped out all the moves for the Flygirls in the TV comedy series In Living Color, which launched the careers of Damon Wayans and Jim Carrey.

- So true

- I'm simply not a fan of her work. I watched Erin Brockovich, The Mexican and America's Sweetheart and frankly, she didn't do much for me.

Her only decent role was in Almost Famous. I think it was because she was playing herself. Otherwise, a vapid Kewpie doll.

- Ditto

Se my comments on Julia Roberts. In similar fashion she engages in many useless roles. But she is capable of good things. She was incredible in Birthday Girl and creditable in The Golden Compass.

- she was quite good in Birthday Girl but her immobile face is too distracting.

No arguments from me here.

Maybe she finds it difficult to get roles that break her out of the stereotyped loud Latina. But her voice is still terribly annoying.

[BookStop]

Rosie Perez was in Pineapple Express and I thought she actually did a great job. Not her typical role, and her voice was more reasonable, more like a real person. Up until then, I did not know she was purposefully using that annoying whine

I don't see what allthe fuss is aout Julia Roberts either, although I did like her in Mystic Pizza.

[SpaceShip]

Cliff Richard and the whole cast of Summer Holiday.

[Starbeast]

Ben Stiller - I only liked him in the movie Mystery Men (1999), because his character is supposed to be just like the way he acts in every movie.
