I'm generally not bothered by actors or characters too much, but there's one exception. Kids. They can't act and usually make the movies and shows they're in lesser. A few exceptions, but generally, kids just suck LOL.

and in North American films its the opposite

I was a hater as well
Like you I was amused with his role in Tropic Thunder
and some of his skits like the Handsome Mens club.

And then I saw Killer Joe
suffice to say I'm a fan now
that movie is bad ass! and he was the reason

he was also pretty funny in Bernie
Mud is also supposed to be pretty good

Very much agree after water boy hes been a living joke
though Punch Drunk Love was good

I feel like hes bringing down actors with him too

I really liked Kevin James on king of Queens
now he sucks

Sandberg is his newest victim

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Most of Al Pacino's work since Heat. Man has lost his edge bigtime. Also overacting.

Kate Hudson cannot act.

Seth Rogan over rated and same tripe over and over.

Actually too many to name.
On par with everyone you just mentioned

It's like pulling teeth, nails down the chalkboard, and makes-you-want-to-stuff-a-fork-up-your-eyes kind of excruciating all at the same time.

Other notable ones that come to mind are basically some of the same actors in Transformers 2 and 3 with the addition of the lame foul mouthed-humping robot, Jetfire, the new British girl trying to out-hot Megan Fox and the Asian clown.

Did I miss anyone?

Oh, and Bay himself too, of course.

Who can't you stand in which role and movie? Or am I just taking movies too seriously?
That blond trying to do the austrailian accent kills me. What a horrendous acting display.

Its sad whats happening to Pacino
but he is getting old and so is Deniro, to me they are still two of the best actors of all time.

Also I wouldn't say since Heat especially because he did Donnie Brasco and the Insider one of my favorite movies after Heat
but since then (1999) lol

with the exception of Insomnia
its all been pretty lame and insufferable


Nick Cage gets a ton of scrutiny and he deserves it but to me its because he takes a ton of work
for every decent role he has, hes has 3 or 4 bad ones.

In the past 10 years hes had arguably good performances in Matchstick Men, Adaptation and Lord of War. Add his mediocre performances like Kick Ass, World Trade center and Bad Lieutenant to that list and he seems like a decent actor.
Its just the sheer amount crap he puts out between them.

To me Matchstick men was brilliant will always have a ton of respect for cage for that film.

The problem with Cage and Pacino is they take far too many bad parts. Compare them to DeCaprio who carefully selects his projects yet he himself is not a great actor in say the league of Day Lewis. And Day Lewis is also very selective. For me he is head an shoulders above everyone.
