Search found 7 matches: Frank Welker

I to have a forgettable Mike at the bottom of my list, as well.

4 films minimum (out of 1230 ratings):

10. Jeremy Irons ----------- 5 Films / 50.6 (The Man in the Iron Mask)
9. William Fichtner -------- 4 Films / 50.25 (Crash)
8. Val Kilmer ---------------- 8 Films / 49.25 (Batman Forever)
7. Natasha Lyonne --------- 4 Films / 47.75 (American Pie 2)
6. Jeffrey Tambor ---------- 5 Films / 46.2 (How the Grinch Stole Christmas [2000])

5. Frank Welker ------------ 6 Films / 45.67 (How the Grinch Stole Christmas [2000])
4. Demi Moore -------------- 5 Films / 45 (We're No Angels [1989])
3. Kurt Russell -------------- 8 Films / 41 (Unlawful Entry)
2. Chis O'Donnell ----------- 6 Films / 38.83 (Batman Forever)
1. Michael Wincott --------- 4 Films / 38.25 (The Crow)

My least favourite with a 10 film minimum is Ron Howard's brother Clint, also done in by the horrible Grinch movie.

I was surprised to see Lyonne, because I loved her in exactly one movie, and wasn't really aware of her presence in the other three. I also like how Moore and Russell were taken down because I worked in a cinema in the early 90s and watched a lot more crap back then.

Saved from disgrace: Patrick Wilson and Larry Miller who were on my previous list. They still rank very low.

Current - 10 film minimum

10th - Owen Wilson (35.10 / 10) ...Would be much lower on this list if it weren't for "Inherent Vice".
9th - Forest Whitaker (33.70 / 10) ...Able actor who has made bad choices.
8th - Frank Welker (32.58 / 19) ...Voice acting in bad animated movies.
7th - Bruce Willis (31.79 / 19) ...I love him, but sans "Die Hard" and "12 Monkeys" he has made the worst choices.
6th - Robert Englund (30.90 / 10) ...I watched all the "Nightmares" but didn't think they were very good.
5th - Jim Carrey (29.14 / 14) ..."Man on the Moon" was okay.

3rd - Arnold Schwarzenegger (26.12 / 17) ...He is lucky he was in "The Long Goodbye".
2nd - Keith David (26.00 / 13) ..."The Thing" keeps him from taking 1st place.
1st - Clive Owen (24.60 / 15) ...to be fair it's mainly due to his participation in the BMW commercial shorts.

It's almost been a year since I updated my list.

10. Danny Trejo, 55.45, 11 films
His BEST movie was the spoof film, Machete. Everything else has been low budget action films, shit tier action films, and shit comedy films.

9. John Travolta, 54.95, 21 films
Other than Pulp Fiction, he's been in a handful of mediocre films and a whole lot of shit.

8. Jon Lovitz, 54.58, 12 films
He was in Big, and then a bunch of crap comedies and animated shit fest.

7. Gerard Butler, 54.3, 10 films
How to Train Your Dragon and RocknRolla were both pretty good. The shitty action movies and his occasional foray into romantic comedy was not.

6. Janeane Garofalo, 54, 11 films
Shit tier comedian stars in shit tier comedies.

5. Sylvester Stallone, 53, 13 films
Stallone is synonymous with shitty action films.

4. Frank Welker, 51.92, 26 films
Now that I'm familiar with his work, I don't blame him for being a very prolific voice actor. But what movies need voice sound effects? Shitty movies.

3. Adam Sandler, 51.73, 15 films
He made one or two great comedies, and then started churning out shittier and shittier comedies until the funniest thing about him is his career.

2. Oliver Platt, 51.6, 10 films
That guy that's always in a support role in a bunch of shitty movies. Easily recognizable, never good enough to star.

1. Rob Schneider, 46.21, 14 films
The only actor who scores below a 50. In my ranking system, anything above a 50 was enjoyable enough to not stand up and leave the room in the middle of the movie. It kept my attention. Scoring below a 50 means that if Rob Schneider came up to me on the street and started a conversation, I would ignore him and walk away.

I've done some research on Frank Welker, and even though he's in a slew of shit films doing various noises and voices, he seems like a great guy. And really talented. I think if you tallied up international box office gross based entirely on whether you're in a film or not, despite the size of your role, Frank Welker is easily on top of that list. I'd wager he's over $20 billion in total box office gross. And that's no small feat. I just wanted to post that in this thread because I always mention not knowing Frank Welker, and his profile here on Criticker simply does not do the guy justice.

I can't believe Bill Murray is ranked at the bottom of anyone's list. He's my #2 actor in that other thread.

Going off a 10 film minimum this time, since I do agree with nauru on that, and probably only that.

10. Gerard Butler 55, (10 films)
Butler is divided into pre and post 300. Anything he made prior to 300 was awful, and he's made some bombs since.

9. Sylvester Stallone 54.85, (13 films)
I actually really like the Expendables films, and I've never seen any of the Rocky movies, so this is largely due to his string of really, really shitty action films from the 90's.

8. John Travolta 54.81, (21 films)
Pulp Fiction is a lone standout. As with my 4 film minimum directors, Look Who's Talking can ruin rankings, and it doesn't help that Travolta has been in a bunch of shit films.

7. Eddie Murphy 54.69, (13 films)
Even his decent films are mediocre. And his shit comedies are shit.

6. Danny Trejo 54.64, (11 films)
His best film was Machete. He ends up playing the bad guy in shit tier films.

5. Frank Welker 53.78, (27 films)
He's a voice actor. I don't know him.

4. Oliver Platt 52.4, (10 films)
That guy that's always plays the unsuspecting co-worker who is unessential to the plot in a bunch of bad films.

3. Janeane Garofalo 52.36, (11 films)
Shit tier comedy actress.

2. Adam Sandler 50.66, (13 films)
He made two or three decent comedies, and then started churning out a bunch of shit films. Even his serious attempts at movies, like his pseudo-dramas, are shit. Adam Sandler attempted, and failed, to do what I call "The Jim Carrey".

1. Rob Schneider 46.15, (13 films)
The only actor with a career that's helped by appearing in an Adam Sandler movie. He cannot carry a film on his own, but he attempts it anyways.
