Sure, it's an obvious vote. Any rapper, singer, basketball player turned actor is always a scary thought. But, Shaq made a handful of films that were just drowning in theirm own badness....."Steel" anyone?
LOL, I remember when one of his movies came out when I was like 6 and my older brother had been really amped about it for weeks. He came back from it and told me hed just seen a movie with Shaq, and I was like "whoa, I didnt know he could act", to which my brother replied, "he cant".
Pamela Lee Anderson (or whatever the hell her name is now) gets my vote.
Im trying to rack my brain for the names of actors in B grade horror movies I have seen... but my vote for now goes to good old Pam. There is only one clip of her's that Id go out of my way to see again.

BRIGITTE NIELSEN - the silicone inflated former wife of Sylvester Stallone famous for not being able to act in such "Classics" as Cobra, Red Sonya and Beverly Hills Cop 2.

I'm going to have to go with Hayden Christensen. The only reason I didn't shoot myself in the theater during Star Wars: Episode 2 is because Natalie Portman was also in it.
And Shattered Glass? Peter Sarsgaard was the one who saved my life during this movie. Had it not been for Portman and Sarsgaard, I probably would have blown my brains out all over the theater seats.
Oh and as a side note, Member 27 said he can only think of one clip of Pam Anderson that he'd see again. Haha, I'm pretty confident you can think of more than one...

shaq is not an actor, i don't care how crazily you define the term. the man just goes through the motions of being himself, which is always a painfull embarrassment.
even the rock (dwayne 'the rock' johnson) is not a fair target. ditto van damme, seigal, and all the others. there just big-headed crossover types who were attracted by the possibility of inflating their egos with hollywood notoriety.
how about ben stiller ? doesn't he play the same character every time out ?
I will almost completely agree with Ben Stiller! If it wasn't for his performance in Permanent Midnight I'd put him up there with the goddawful Keanu!

I agree with Christensen as a pretty bad actor. He seemed totally uninspired in Episode II. Ben Stiller, on the other hand, I find funny. That's what he's going for, anyway.
I reserve the right to be entirely wrong.

Yeah, but often that's Stiller's "schtick" whether you like it or not. I think he's hilarious (albeit hit-or-miss). "Meet the parents" is great. Keanu's another category entirely, a so-bad-he's-good kind of way, at least for me. of course, I'm thinking of his best films, matrix one and point break.
I would nominate Robin Williams 1995-2004 ("death to Smoochy" was o.k.) the rest of it's awful

ROBIN WILLIAMS!!!! Oh...my...God! You have angered me Hattoori Hanzo! I know that 80% of Robin's films in that period were cheesy but awful is a bit harsh!
I really like this actor! So leave him alone! ...sorry about that....got alittle carried away there....
My vote goes to THE worst actor of all time: JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME !
quote:Originally posted by Hattoori_Hanzo: did you sit through Patch Adams?
I don't have a legitimate excuse, but, yes, I did. Looking at what he did those years, you have a pretty good argument. However, he wasn't bad in "Insomnia" and "One-Hour Photo", and if Burt Reynolds didn't win an Oscar for "Boogie Nights", I thought Robin Williams' turn in "Good Will Hunting" was deserving.

true, I forgot about one hour photo. I liked that... but of course I think it's easy to play a creepy guy. here's the thing - I think for the most part he needs to avoid the sentimental stuff, but I used to love "toys" (as a kid, of course, now I'm a mature 21) and "fisher king" was good too. I guess "worst actor ever" is a little harsh. nowhere near as bad as "muscles from Brussels" van damn.

By the way, I may not have sat through Patch Adams (or Bicentinnial Man for that matter) but I did sit through Father's Day (in which Robin Williams is pretty funny), One Hour Photo (his best performance yet), Insomnia (creepy) and Death to Smoochy which showed that If Robin Williams stays clear of sentimental tosh he can be a very very good actor (comedy or serious alike). Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, he was serious in them and very convincing!
Its just too bad he seems attracted to Cheese!! Why can't he just do regular comedies!!!
I don't REALLY want to get into this, but some of them must be expressing something honest since it's there for all to see. OK, maybe they're just going through the motions to collect a check...my mistake.

I totally agree about Keanu. I am very disappointed that he was cast as John Constantine from the Hellblazer series. The trailers look awesome except for Keanu chewing on his dialogue. Plus the character is supposed to be British and blonde, but now we get a dark haired, North American, Constantine. Bad actor, bad casting.

Did anyone mention Hillary Fluffball Duff? Now there is an actress who totally sucks BIG TIME! All of the movies she starred in took a Box office nosedive, Can I Get a Cinderella Story or Cheaper by the Dozon? Not to mention her TV show stunk too. Besides, she looks like a slut based on how much eyeliner she wears(Can anyone say Courtney Love's clone, only older like, 40?), which makes me wonder if she will ever amount to anything compared to Lindsay Lohan. I wouldn't say so. Yes, Hillary Duff, the 40 year-old teenager, we hardly knew ye.
