Actors you hate for no reason

Juliette Lewis. William H. Macy. JK Simmons.

Paul Giamatti. The very sight of him angers me.

I fucking hate Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan. For me, they ruin movies that I would've otherwise liked. They're both so bland and cold, it's so annoying to watch their co-stars struggle to play believable attraction to them.

Tom Hanks. George Cooney. Though in truth I know why.

Will Ferrell! Annoys me to death!

Glenn Close.

Julia fucking Roberts.

Jennifer Lawrence

Brie Larson (but therereally is a reason for that).

Sandra Bullock.

Always despised her.

Jessica Chastain

Jonah FUCKING Hill! There are probably half-a-dozen otherwise decent movies I’ve never seen because i don’t want to look at his face or hear his voice. Every time I see him i feel like he’s being inflicted on me.

[quote] JK Simmons

Nooooooo! He’s like chocolate sprinkles: he improves everything!

Kirstie Alley

Tim Allen

Roseanne Barr

The Hemsworth brothers.

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams.

I actually dislike most actors working today, but those two really grind my gears for whatever reason. F

I also hate Amy Adams and I don't get why people love her so much. Her face is so meh.

Ryan Reynolds, Timothy Chalamet, all actors named Chris, and Jason Sudeikis. I hate them all but I have reason-- they are hateworthy.

Antonio Banderas

Chris Pratt

Tom Hiddleston

[quote]Actors you hate for no reason

I have a reason for my hate for actors.

It may be an inane one, but it's a reason.

Julia Roberts.

Oh wait, there IS a reason. She can't act her way out of a wet paper bag.

Anya Taylor Joy. I used to like her but I'm getting really annoyed with the prevalence of her alien face everywhere.

I'll try:

Olivia Colman. It's not that I think she's bad, but I want to slap her face forehand and backhand until my wrist needs a brace.

Bill Nighy makes me cringe and I can't stand him in anything. Who the hell amputated his upper lip and why? So there's a reason.

Frances McDormand. It's not just that she's a trashy one-note slug. She's so smug and satisfied about it. So there's a reason.

So that's one.

The 21st century's.

Tim Allen, Nicholas Cage, Elizabeth Moss, Keira Knightley, Doris Day, Owen Wilson, Mathew Broderick, Kim Novak, Daryl Hannah, Shia LaBeouf!

I can’t stand anya taylor joys face. And fuck her for replacing charlize.

R23, that is so true. I cannot believe that's who they chose for her younger version. She does not have the alpha energy that Charlize has at all.

Nicholas Cage, Bobby Cannavale, and Denzel Washington.

Tom Hanks. ‘Cause he’s funny looking.

Adam Driver

Matthew McConaghey, Ben Stiller, Olivia Colman (I’d never get tired of kicking her buck toothed face off the Moon), Frances McDormand.

Taraji

Scarjo but the reason is because she’s untalented.

I’m going to break the theme of the thread. I’m getting really tired and I think a lot of other people are too of seeing Ratboy everywhere. Homely, can’t act out of a wet paper bag, smug, and entitled. All because some naive teenage girls say he’s attractive after Brian Swardstrom and Sunshine Sachs told them to say he’s attractive.

R24 agree that girl doesn’t have charlize’s energy at all

Anne Hathaway

My dislike of actors depends on how much publicity they are getting. Years ago, I disliked Paltrow, Roberts and Pitt. Now that reality stars and influencers are getting all the attention that is who I disdain. For awhile a few years ago I really disliked Meghan Markle, now I find he entertaining , though I know that's not her aim.

Jennifer Aniston. Julia Roberts. Tom Hanks.

Timothee Chalamet or whatever his name is. The girl named ater Halle Berry. Zendaya.

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams are annoying as hell. Both bland, plain, and overrated. Bradley Cooper is creepy and looks like a serial killer. American Hustle is a nightmare come to life. Julia Roberts and George Clooney are arrogant, no-talented assholes.

Wow. Didn't know how much I needed to vent that. Thanks OP.

Fucking Una O’Connor. Ruins every scene she’s in, especially Bride of Frankenstein. Even though she’s dead, I want to kill her every time I hear her screeching.

It's inconsequential these days, but back in the 90s/early aughts I refused to watch anything with Meg Ryan, Nicholas Cage, and Drew Barrymore in it. I broke the rule once with Barrymore's 'Driving in Cars With Boys', and I still regret it.

Alec Baldwin

Pete Davidson

Jack Black

Timothee Chalimar

Steve Carell

Jeremy Piven, for reasons that are well-known to us all.

Teri Hatcher, and her weird spindly fingers.

Ed Helms, although I wouldn't say there's no reason.

I've never liked Meryl Streep, although I understand why others admire her.

It's hard for me to look past IT'S MERYL! and see the character.

Jesse Eisenberg. His smug, know-it-all expression on his ugly face makes me want to punch it.

Timothée "Mumbles" Chalamet.

Amber Heard. Aside from the fact she's an absolutely vile cunt, she's also a mediocre actress. She should have stuck with stripping. I heard she was good at that.

I can't stand Martin Lawrence or Tracy Morgan because of their unhinged, possibly mentally challenged personalities. I also hate their "just left the projects" style. Both of these guys are grown but speak like they're standing on the block waiting for the liquor store to open. I wish they would speak better/project a more sophisticated image for POC.

I loathe Gillian Anderson

Sarah Paulsen and her inconsistent baby lisp

Ben Affleck, never hot, tired of hearing he was

Rose Byrne. She's a good actress and probably a nice person, but I don't get why she's a thing. She's so generic and has no presence.

Leslie Jones

Alex Pettyfer. He looks like the consummate douchebro.

Johnny Lever ruins every Bollywood movie

Will Smith

Chris Platt

Alec Baldwin

Harvey Keitel

Alessandro Nivola

Steve Schirripa

Kevin Hart

Johnny Depp

Tom Cruise

Rose Byrne… mean, you said it, she’s a good actress.

I have never liked or enjoyed watching critical fave Felicity Jones. She has a " derp" facial expression and seems lacking in grit. Jones can only play girlish characters, not women.I initially liked Timothee Chalamet but now feel he was dreadfully overhyped and not a fraction as talented as he was made out to be. I don't care very much for smug Jeff Daniels and loathed his character in the Newsroom, though to be fair some of that was due to the writing. Amy Adams is not talentless but extremely overrated and I'm tired of seeing her cast in everything. She is like Michelle Williams in that her main draw seems to be her perceived girl next door vulnerability ( though I suspect both women are far colder and tougher than their image projects). Michael Douglas is a cold fish actor who can never project any warmth. I absolutely hate sneering John Wayne but luckily he's dead so it's only an issue when TCM is on.

Amy Adams has just done the trifecta of Hillbilly Elegy~Woman in the Window~Dear Evan Hansen

Ben Foster. He's so ugly and grimy looking he makes my skin crawl, so I guess there is a reason.

Another vote for forever fatfuck Jonah Hill. And his hideous sister, Beanie Feldstein. She looks like she farts a lot.

Jennifer Lawrence is another one I hate for universal reasons mentioned above. Her curling iron photo pretty much confirmed why she got famous.

Anna Kendrick. I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again. Stop trying to convince me that dogface is pretty when she looks like fucking Iola from Mama’s Family!

Chris Pratt Tom HIddleston Ryan Reynolds Cumbersnatch Ryan Gosling Michelle Williams Nicole Kidman Natalie Portman Jason Bateman Jake Gyllenhaal Ben Affleck Patrick Wilson Bradley Cooper

Uma Thurman

Gwyneth Paltrow & James Corden but the reasons are endless.

Tharah Paulthon

Zendaya. Can't act and only considered a "fashion icon" because she's anorexic

Tom Hardy - seems douche-y and looks like he smells

Timmeeeeee

Doucheface James Franco.

Minnie Driver - fat cheeks.

Carey Mulligan - winsome smirk.

I also cannot stand Zendaya. It’s true that she’s only considered beautiful because she’s clearly malnourished.

Richard Dreyfuss. I saw him in 'Jaws' and wanted to be his husband. After that he totally went meh.

Darren Criss - can’t sing for shit, slightly better actor, thinks he’s waaay smarter than he actually is, and annoying in an Anne Hathaway type way.

Patricia Heaton

Emma Thompson

Ian McKellen

Jason Segal

Kate Winslet

Stephen Fry

Tim Allen

Off the list:

Natalie Portman (I like her acting in her amateurish but sympathetic directorial debut, she’s generally awful)

Nicole Kidman. Can't stand her face, voice and presence!!!

Harrison Ford

Sarah Paulson. It's not her looks or her acting that's the issue. It's the fact she told JK Rowling to "shut up" via a tweet after Rowling expressed concern over the erasure of women, girls and mothers, et al., in language, medical information, legal documents and advertising etc.

Not only that, she remains silent about the trans community verbally abusing and threatening gay women with violence because they don't want to be penetrated by men calling themselves "women" and "lesbians."

Leo. I never could stand him or his weird baby face.

Mickey Rourke

Christian Borle. Every time I see him I want to punch him in the throat.

And how the fuck was that homo married to Sutton Foster? He didn’t need a green card.

Alfred Molina Edie Falco Melissa Gorga (not really an actress, but…) Kristin Chenoweth Lisa Kudrow Hugh Jackman

Ellen Barkin and Mickey Rourke, even when they were young and cute. No reason, they just bugged.

Chris Colfer, because playing the poor me before I became famous card is disingenuous. He was a bfd in community theater before Glee. Granted it was Fresno community theater, but still...

Goop.

Anne Hathaway.

Lady Gaga (but only in acting roles... I tolerate her as a singer)

Adam Driver

Lens Dunham

Allison Williams.

Timothee.

Charlize Theron seems so cold.

Minnie Driver, Matt Damon

Nicole Kidman

She's so nothing. She has no charisma, or talent. She's a gossamer-like black hole sucking the energy out of everything. Please do NOT bring up "To Die For", it wasn't that good and my mother would have been just as good in it, as would ANY other actress.

Lens Dunham

Goop

Lens Dunham

Goop

Lens Dunham

Goop

Seth Rogan

Beanie

Lens

Goop

Lens

Will Smith

Meryl.

Brenda Strong and her ANNOYING 'sing-song' narration on Desperate Housewives.

Lily Collins, though I struggle to call her an actress.

I posted the Hemsworth brothers.Liam I hate because he’s ugly and cannot act, as well as for his famewhoring with Miley Cyrus. Chris I hate merely because of the fact that he’s a Hemsworth.

Joaquin phoenix

R77 must be a reactionary transphobe like J.K. Do you also like and retweet posts from people who are against gay marriage like she does?

From old Hollywood:

Mickey Rooney, June Allyson, Robert Taylor

[quote]Jesse Eisenberg. His smug, know-it-all expression on his ugly face makes me want to punch it.

Apparently, R47 is in my head. I hate that fucker. Jesse, that is. J'adore R47!

R15- They have something else in common- ALL closet 👸 ‘s

Bradley Cooper

Sean Penn. Jason Patric. Christian Bale.

Rami Malek, for reasons too many to mention.

"Don't ANY of you know who I am?!!!"

Reese and that goddam voice. Odd, I was watching her at 14 in "Man in the Moon" and she spoke in a nice low register then. Now she is decades older and speaking baby talk. I can't listen to her for ten seconds.

Brie Larson also annoys the fuck out of me, ditto Constance Wu -- both for their Casey Affleck bullshit.

"Brie Larson also annoys the fuck out of me, ditto Constance Wu -- both for their Casey Affleck bullshit."

Only DL would side with Affleck. Just like they sided with the abuser in the Blackhawks scandal

Robert Downey, Jr.

Amanda Peete

Wesley Snipes

Michael Caine

Anna Paquin

Tim Roth

Jennifer Jason Leigh

David Strathairn

Mostly because of roles they played and I can’t shake off the bad feeling their work gave me.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Richard Dreyfuss.

"Only DL would side with Affleck"

Because it's bad form IN ANY CASE to use some old case to try and keep someone from getting his due. Female Poison epitomized.

The case was settled and no big deal as is so this was all grandstanding. "I won't clap for him"... fuck off, Brie, do your job and then disappear again.

Tilda Swinton

Tim Allen Steve Harvey

Something about their faces just says “punch me.”

Mandy Patinkin

John Lithgow

Bruce Wills—but I’ve got a reason. He’s a talentless, arrogant, entitled prick.

Timotheé Chalamet

Jim Carrey

Amanda Peet is like a yuppy cunt. Pleased with herself for one who’s never been acclaimed.

Celeste Holm

I don't hate Leonardo DiCaprio, I just really dislike him in films. His baby face in Titanic wasn't good enough for Kate Winslet. I found him totally unbelievable in Catch Me If You Can and The Aviator. I know there are people who disagree, which is fine, I just can't watch him.

Julia "Horse face" Roberts. J-Ho. Leonardo DiFaprio.

Gig Young

Meg Ryan

Anna Magnani

Emmy Rossum

Amada Peet

Alison Pill

Alec Baldwin

Julia Roberts.

Angelina Jolie.

Chris Pratt

Anyone in "Grey's Anatomy" I hate them as an ensemble.

Anyone who fucks Pete Davidson.

All the Fake Housewives. Kill them now.

[quote] found him totally unbelievable in The Aviator

I agree. It was like a boy trying to play a grown-up.

Ed O Neill. Though I won't say there's no reason. He gives off nasty malicious vibes. I can't watch anything with him in it, which is fine because he has never starred in anything of quality.

Christopher Meloni

r94 = unbalanced freak

Nicholas Cage, Shia LaBoef (sp?). There's another actor who was in lots of movies 20+ years ago that I couldn't stand (I think his mother was a casting agent). Thankfully my brain has lost his name.....he took up way too much space back then.

Is it a rule that someone has to call casting directors "casting agents" in every thread?

There's no such thing as a "casting agent", they do not represent anyone nor get paid by commissions.

Miss r133 insists on proper nomenclature.

She has stated her boundaries. Please respect them.

Thank you, r134, but in my defense...

We have discussed this many times!

I hate Sarah Paulson's baby lisp too, R50. S5 of AHS was Paulson at her most annoying because she had the lisp, a southern accent and a big dumb grin for most of her scenes.

Amanda Peet and Sarah Paulson are like those not-so-hot girls who live to tear down other, more attractive people.

They’re both opportunistic sociopaths.

Winona Ryder for me, since the late ‘80s. I liked her in Black Swan but that’s it!

Peter Coyote. He seems so self aware of his voice, which is probably why he has gotten considerable voice over and narration work over the years.

Eddie Murphy

Goop

Tom Hanks

Courtney Cox, Eddie Murphy, Sheryl Underwood, and Ronald Reagan.

Lotte Lenya

Zachary Quinto

Tom Hanks, Nicolas Cage

I co-sign on all the Amy Adams Vote. Totally overused and I don't think she's even that attractive.

Affleck Clooney Cruise and Depp convey that they're so handsome and wanted that all they really need to do is show up. Acting is an optional exertion, rarely convincing.

To be fair the two Cs have been in watchable work where their limitations fitted the characters well, and lack of appeal was usefully plausible.

Wanda Sykes

R147 " totally overused". Yes that's the problem. Her passive and bland energy works in certain roles ( I actually thought she fit well in the critically maligned Woman in the Window film) but casting producers have made her the go to woman for everything. Even when she does a decent job I find myself wondering what another actress would have done with the role. It's like producers have decided that Adams is the safe fit who doesn't offend critics or audiences.

Mark Ruffalo

Christian Slater?

the British Emilys / Blunt and Watson

Amy Madigan

Tom Cruise

Julianne Moore

Sorry, got bounced down, I was offering Christian Slater as the answer to the Mom is a Casting Director post.

Emma Watson is truly dismal. I just watched The Goblet of Fire the other night and she and Daniel Radcliffe were so terrible. She’s giving an identical performance to Kristen Stewart in Twilight. Just awful.

You must be a reactionary misogynist, R94. If you're fine with men calling themselves "women" verbally abusing and threatening dissenting women and girls with violence, but think expressing concern about it is "transphobic."

R152 Yep, couldn't remember his name. Thanks!

Bradley Cooper

Scarlett Johansenn

Christian Bale

Jennifer Lawrence

Timothee Chalamet

Jeremy Renner

Lady Gaga (and this is a very loose use of the term "actor" for her)

Jason Momoa (I will never watch or take seriously a file he's in and I truly have no reason why)

Brie Larson

These are the ones I hate for no real reason; plenty of others I won't watch, but there's a reason why.

I can't stand Ryan Reynolds and his wife, but especially him. This constant trolling (by both of them) and thinking he's funny is nauseating.

Conrad Veidt

Howard Duff

Mrs. Fiske

Mollie Sugden

R163 - your name is stricken from the Classic Actors Film Club membership list!

I hate Sean Penn for no raisin.

I hate Sean Penn for many raisins.

Why, because he looks like a raisin in the sun?

Denzel Washington

[quote] Winona Ryder for me, since the late ‘80s. I liked her in Black Swan but that’s it!

I rewatched it recently on Hulu and loved the scene she ripped apart Natalie Portman's character at the reception event.

Michael Landon

Leslie Howard

That girl on Small Wonder.
