Is this strictly Actors? If not I'd love to voice my hatred of Kat Dennings.

Actors:

1. Johnny Depp - This goes a long with my dislike of Tim Burton films, otherwise known as an Emo's wet dream.

2. Michael Cera - Poor man's Jesse Eisenberg. While Eisenberg has movies like Squid and The Whale and The Social Network on his resume, Cera's big accomplishment is Juno :roll:. The kid just caught a lucky break with Arrested Development.

3. Gerard Butler - 300 was a fluke.

4 and 5. Bradley Cooper and Will Arnett - Two guys who are usually in movies I don't like or are in roles I don't like.

6. Most shitty mainstream actors like Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Zack Effron etc. They're nothing more than eye candy for the unintelligent masses.

I'm going to add Bradley Cooper to my list. He's like an even douchier version of Shia Laboeuf.

I really don't hate any actors but I find Michael Rapaport to be incredibly irritating. He seems to always play the same role, and just gives a lot of attitude.

Aren't you forgetting Scott Pilgrim vs the World (for Cera)?

Anyway, who's to say Eisenberg didn't just get lucky when the Social Network received all sorts of acclaim? Not that I'm trying to defend Cera here; frankly I don't like either of them. But between these two lookalikes I find Eisenberg more irritating personally.

seconded, ever since "Roger Dodger", meanwhile Cera's an annoyingly frightened fawn in front of the ol' headlights - hard to envsion him developing into more mature roles as time goes on.

I WISH I could forget that abortion!

I think Eisenberg is terrific, and it's a shame that he was (and to some extent, still is) type-caste in the same type of roles as Cera was.

I haven't watched "The Social Network", but Eisenberg was really good in "Adventureland". Comparing Cera to Eisenberg is like comparing Orlando Bloom to Sir Laurence Olivier. Yeah, there are some superficial similarities, but one can act and the other cannot.

There's a lot of 'em I don't like as people, but few in the modern era I don't think have some talent. I guess stupid comedians pretty much populate that list, like Jerry Lewis, Adam Sandler, Rowan Atkinson, Will Ferrell (except in the drama Stranger than Fiction), Mike Myers!, Owen Wilson (except Midnight in Paris).

Action movies are full of 'em but then that's not really serious acting so....

Worst (phoniest) actors, Jimmy Stewart, Susan Hayward and Olivia de Havilland.
