Filmmakers : The ten lowest-scoring actors

[djross]

We all know that life as an actor is hard. Making use of the new "filmmaker list" functionality, I learn that there are 846 actors for whom I have seen at least four of their movies. Taking this four-film minimum, the following ten actors are those with the lowest average score:

10. Tom Sizemore (33.33, 6 films)
9. Michael Berryman (32.50, 4)
8. Stephen Rea (32.50, 4)
7. Djimon Hounsou (32.50, 4)
6. John Saxon (32.00, 5)
5. Sean Bean (31.00, 5)
4. Jack Noseworthy (30.00, 4)
3. Rex Linn (27.50, 4)
2. Stephen Dorff (25.00, 4)
1. Danny Trejo (21.00, 5)

The Danny Trejo movies I've seen (in descending order) are the following: Beat the Devil (2002), Desperado, Bubble Boy, From Dusk Till Dawn, Anaconda.

Number 11 out of 846 on the list (with 7 movies) was Ethan Hawke.

183 actors have been seen in 4 movies or more.

The bottom ten:
1. Adam Sandler (23.20, 5 films)
2. Jack Black (25.25, 4)
3. Ethan Suplee (33.50, 4)
4. Terence Stamp (36.60, 5)
5. Tom Cruise (38.71, 7)
6. Hugo Weaving (38.75, 4) and Ving Rhames (38.75, 4)
8. Tim Roth (39.75, 4)
9. Robin Williams (40.50, 4)
10. James Franco (43.50, 4)

Adam Sandler manages to get the lowest score, despite starring in Punch-Drunk Love which is in my Tier 9 with a score of 91. Also of note, Ethan Suplee stars in The Fountain which I gave a score of 95, and Tom Cruise stars in Magnolia which I gave a score of 95.

I've seen a minimum of 4 films for 885 different actors, with the bottom ten scorers being:

10. Cynthia Stevenson: 11.25 (4 films)
8&9. Kenneth Welsh and Betsy Russell: 11.00 (5 films each)
7. Patrick Warburton: 10.83 (6 films)
6,5&4. Eddie Griffin, Tony Cox and Zac Efron: 10.00 (4 films each)
3. Carmen Electra: 9.00 (10 films)
1. Meagan Good and Stellan Skarsgard: 8.75 (4 films each)

Meagan Good movies I've seen = The Love Guru, Stomp the Yard, Saw V and The Unborn
Stellan Skarsgard movies I've seen = Goya's Ghosts, Mamma Mia!, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Deep Blue Sea

Looking at the movies I've seen from the actors who make this bottom ten, I find a grand total of 14 credits between them that I've awarded a big fat 0 (though some of these credits are for the same films). Carmen Electra alone has four of said credits.

Congratulations, Shawnee Smith! And I only had to sit through about two and half "Saw" movies to reach the minimum here.

[Bojangles]

Most of my lowest are populated by a bunch of no namers. Those worth mentioning: Brendan Fraser, Salma Hayek, and the cast of Harry Potter.

With a cutoff of 10 films, my lowest is Steve Buscemi. Without looking I had guessed it would be Donald Pleasance (by virtue of having sat through all of the original Halloween series), but I guess I forgot how many truly awful movies Buscemi pops up in.
