Absolutely! I can only presume WR and KR were forced upon Coppola coz they were two of the biggest stars of the day. I did find Keanu more painful tho so he gets my vote.

In the first category I nominate Fiona Shaw in Three Men and a Little Lady. She cracks me up as the super posh English teacher who reckons she's in with a shout with Tom Selleck!

In the second I nominate Keanu Reeves in FF Coppola's Dracula. I kept expecting Ted Theodore Logan to whisk Vlad back to 1989 to help in the Wild Stallyns history project!
