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.
I have two.
I do not like Will Ferrell in his typical roles at all and I’m glad I’m not the only one saying this anymore. Everyone quotes Anchorman and I just did not enjoy that at all, or Elf, Step Brothers, or any of his “everyone loves” movies. Stranger Than Fiction, however, was amazing and I wish he would do more roles like that.
Tom Cruise is my other one. I find his acting very bland and unappealing. Mission Impossible has put me to sleep every time I try to watch it. I am not a big fan of Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, or any of them. My Cruise exceptions are Tropic Thunder which I wish he did more comedic roles like that and Minority Report, not a perfect movie but it was the very first DVD I ever owned so there is a bit of nostalgia tied to it.

His characters from Django and Inglorious Basterds are polar opposites lmao
What? No. They were moral opposites, but the character was the same giddy schemer.

Justin Long. I can't stand him for some reason. There are only 2 exceptions:
- Idiocracy - because that movie is so great otherwise and he is only in it for like 2 minutes.
- Tusk - Because the whole movie is about someone torturing him.

Used to be different but Jack Black needs to go away. Every time I see him in something its the same character over and over, pudgy loser that plays air guitar and scats at every opportunity cause he's all quirky like that.
Minecraft movie would have been so much better without Jack Black.

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.

Tusk was a brutal watch with a real dick (or vagina) punch ending. Great movie that leaves you feeling somewhat soiled for having watched it.

I absolutely agree with you about Stranger Than Fiction. Mine would be Adam Sandler, do not like that style of comedy. The only exception is Punch Drunk Love. One of my favourite movies! Also Jim Carey, except for Yes Men.
I loved Jim Carey in The Majestic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Truman Show.

Ryan Reynolds. The exception would be Waiting. I’m just so over him and his one dimensional acting.

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.
-

That's because he isn't acting. Somewhere along the line he stopped being the actor known as Ryan Reynolds and just became the character Ryan Reynolds.

Jared Leto, too bad he is in the Tron: Ares which I'm almost looking forward to watch simply because of nine inch nails...
-
Walton Goggins and Will Arnett. I dunno why, I don't like their acting and they look creepy to me.
I like watching Walton Goggins in some roles, but the man himself gives me the stranger danger willies in interviews, etc.

Jeremy Renner.
Has he ever actually been good in anything (besides the Jeremy Renner app and his legendary rock and roll music)?
-

What about "I love you Philip Morris?" definitely worth watching
-
Jared Leto. No exceptions.
I've hated that fucking guy since the days of My So Called Life.
-
Requiem for a Dream, though.
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.

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

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.
