Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?
-
For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.
But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.
Jessie eisenberg. He only plays jessie Eisenberg. I hate his whiny delivery. The “Now you see me” movies were awful, and he ruined Lex Luthor.
I can’t think of anything he’s been in that I’ve thought was good.
(Nicholas hoult as LL looks great though)

He has a daughter with an ex (DNA confirmed) but since he hates the ex he refuses to meet the girl (she is like 6yo). There was a video doc about this and the poor little girl looks like him and it's super cute.
He pays child support but refuses to acknowledge her existence and if a reporter asks he refuses to answer.Any man that denies his own child is a horrible person.
That's sad. I'm a single dad who has maybe shouldered more than my share, to put it a little mildly, so it resonates. The optimist in me hopes there's more to the story or that the kid is an unredeemable psychopath.

My wife laothes Tom Cruise. Hard stop. No exceptions. I don't have any problems with him as an actor, the Scientology insanity is a whole other matter.
...maybe one exception: I was able to talk her into seeing Edge of Tomorrow by telling her that he dies 26 times on-screen and countless times off-screen.

I apologise if this seems inappropriate, but I kinda like your wife now. And you for putting that argument up in the first place.

Zombieland
Social Network
Though both those were good despite him

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Although I wouldn't call him an actor. So I'm not sure if I answered the question.
He was the highest paid actor a couple years ago so unfortunately I think we have to count him as an actor. He wasn't getting paid nearly as much in the WWE I don't think. He's nearing billionaire status. If he does barely anything he should probably hit it in the next 2-3 years.
-
Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don't realize it's him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.
Not a Cruise fan myself, or NASCAR, but I do like Days of Thunder.
Also staring Nicole Kidman, Micheal Rooker, and Robert Duvall.

Aronofsky movies are hit and miss with me. They can be brilliant like Black Swan or melodramatic nonsense that mistakes dour abjection and misery with plot. I'd rather go with Trainspotting if I want the "drug addict's hell-ride" story. It comes up to breathe every so often with some levity and heart.
I'm NGL, I've only watched Requiem twice, the first time for a school project! Maybe it isn't as interesting as I feel it was. On the other hand, Pi is one of my favourite films and the one I rank highest in his filmography, maybe give it a try?
-
Ben Stiller. I just can't get into anything he's in. He's just reading lines, nepo-baby for sure.
Exceptions: dodgeball, and tropic thunder, holy FUCK is he funny in tropic thunder
tropic thunder made tom cruise funny. that's how funny it was.
-
I came here to say Will Ferrell with the same exception, then read your post.
Stranger Than Fiction shows Will Ferrell is perfectly capable of being a good actor playing interesting roles, but chooses to just play low effort trash.
I feel the same way about Adam Sandler except for Punch Drunk Love. the right role makes a big difference.

The producer character was his idea.
I would like to think that down deep Tom Cruise is fucking hilarious and not some insecure nut.
-
Walton Goggins and Will Arnett. I dunno why, I don't like their acting and they look creepy to me.
Uncle Baby Billy is a goddamn delight.
-
Woody Allen. Everything about the way he acts just makes my skin crawl.
I will never understand the accolades. His movies aren't funny, his schtick is old after like 30 seconds and Annie Hall was fucking dull as shit.
Having grown up through the 80s I hate them. Shit like his nonsense is one of the many reasons why.

I wonder what the last half century would be like if a sci fi writer hadn't decided to cash in on cults.

Nickolas Cage
but he's great in Mandy

Owen Wilson. He has one tone and always looks spaced out.

James Corden
This is the first one I agree with.
Everything I hear about him manages to make me hate him even more than I already did. On top of all of that he can't act.

I was told Annie Hall was his best. I got to the scene in the movie theater line and turned it off. His jokes are so obvious that I think his fans feel smart predicting what's going to happen next.

At 6, it's practically a guarantee. All kids are psychopaths until about 10.
My cousin once stabbed me in the leg with a pair of scissors and thought it was hilarious.
-
His real life is so much creepier than his acting.
You mean fucking and latter marrying the barely legal adopted daughter of his long time girlfriend. Yeah way worse than his movies.

Minecraft movie would have been so much better without Jack Black.
The Minecraft movie was terrible though. Swapping him out with a different actor wouldn't have helped.
It was a huge movie and the whole thing looked like they had a budget of about $20 and about $19 went on the set so they had to get the script written by somebody they hired of fiver
