Are there actors that you dislike and won't watch a movie if that actor is in it

[CarolKing]

I won't watch a movie if Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Whoopy Goldberg and Mel Gibson are in the movie. Lately I'm adding Bill Cosby to the list. Some has to do with how they are in their private lives. Some has to do with, I just don't like the actor. This could include TV shows too.

Am I being overly critical?

EDIT
I need to add Jim Carey. I just don't like him. I think his comedy is lame.

I will not watch anything with Jane Fonda in it. The sight of her sickens me.

Your in luck, no such movie exists!

Vince Vaughn kills any movie he stars in for me.

Nope. As long is it's well written, well directed, great script along with some great acting, I could care less who's in it.

 

[BHOmb.]

I haven't been able to sit thru any Nicholas Cage movie since Face-Off. I also can't stand James Woods.

Conveniently most films I've seen with Tom Cruise don't entirely meet the criteria.

This is how I feel as well. With the exception of Tom Cruise. I can't concentrate on the film if I'm constantly muttering "what a douchebag" uncontrollably.

 

[h3rbalist]

I don't think so.

Personally I detest Russel Brand, Russel Crow, Will Ferrell, Gary Oldman (apart from Leon) all the flippin' Seths...

I should add though I am fickel man.
Previously I disliked Sean Bean, but since Game of Thrones I now have a man crush..


Great thread btw...

idk , it's weird for me .

I can still enjoy a funny movie by Woody Allen ,
even tho I def. do not condone his marriage to the
adopted daughter of Mia's . Maybe the laughter/plot distracts
me from thinking about it .

I still can laugh at the ' Police Squad ' movies when I watch them too .
But I'm Not a big fan of O.J Simpson anymore . I'd grew up admiring his
athletic skills playing for the Bills . They were positive memories of my
youth watching the NFL . Sadly , his later deeds changed my view of him .

If I may add music to this great topic .
Being a musician ( Rock Bass guitar ) , I've enjoyed music from
most genres . And honestly , please don't hate me , I've enjoyed
listening to Michael Jackson's talent .

For some strange reason ,
Any actor/actress that believes in Scientology puts me off .

I can agree with almost all the above, though for different reasons. Some are talentless while others are shitty human beings...and some mange to be a bit of both.

Some commedians are just 100% not funny as far as I'm concerned (Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Kevin James) and I really don't understand why they are so damn popular.

Others are good perfomers but are highly unlikable because they are plain and simply just too weird....as in not-in-a-good-way weird (Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise)

Then there are those who are shitty actors (Nicholas Cage, Ahnold Schwarzenegger)

Probably the most inexcusable thing to be in my book though is a douchebag. This would include Gerard Depardieu and Andy Dick. Regretably, Bill Cosby is probably going to be added to this list as well..if the accusations are true.

I would never pay money to see anything with mel gibson......but i will watch braveheart or lethal weapon on tv

 

[momofthegoons]

I have issues with Richard Gere. I think he's smarmy and cannot watch anything he's in.

There are other actors, some mentioned above, that will turn me off to watching a movie if they are in it. But Richard? He just plain creeps me out.

I can't watch Robin Williams because he always felt fake and desperate. Maybe because I've got depression and could read it all over him.

A lot of guys I can't stand are already mentioned, so I'll bring up some of the ladies.

Jennifer Aniston and Janeane Garofalo are like watching a Bi-polar Droopy Dog. Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway put me to sleep faster than NyQuil. Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts remind me of girls who never grew out of pep squad...or realized that pep squad was the rejects from the cheerleaders. No offense meant to cheerleaders or pep squad peeps, just to the cliché.

Damn, harsh.

 

[Egzoset]

Salutations,

Hummm... Well, i simply can't stand it when Stephen Harper plays on CPAC, or anywhere else for that matter. Honestly, with such poor performance skills i find traditional cartoons would work so much better!...

Yeah, I have to agree with you on Robin Williams. He was way funny doing standup, he wasn't too funny when cast in comedy roles because he was miscast and tried way too hard. He was in better character when he played the psycho villian as an actor too, which I think speaks to his darkside/ demons standup/ villian. Slightly over rated, but I still like him as a human being....he was talented but flawed. Thought he was good in The Survivors..classic 80's.

Natalie Portman won me over in Your Highness:

Sylvester Stallone is the worst actor. Disliked the Rocky movies and anything this man is in.

I dislike nowadays John Travolta, I used to like him. I like some of his movies but having a hard time watching anything new with him in it.

I think after this it was hard to look at him the same way. He's a fucking lunatic. When actors
tarnish their images, it hurts their careers. Of coarse some actors are just plain terrible at it. Who
Knows how they got to be in a major movie or a T.V program. Look at Opera's face.
