So apparently there are a bunch of Pauley Shore fans around here?
He's funny, but a terrible actor.
Ashton Kutcher and Nicholas Cage are also on my "not a fan list". The guys from the Harold and Kumar films too. Chris Klein (American Pie, Roller Ball) is barely tolerable, but was good in We Were Soldiers.

I agree with the assessment on Cage and will add these 2 to the lousy actors list- Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey jr.
. Ever see Tropic Thunder where Robert Downey JR played the black guy? It was hilarious! AGREED!

My pick for the worst, but still well known actors of recent times that immediately come to my mind are:
David Caruso
Nicholas Cage
Colin Farrell
Steven Segal
One of my current favorites is a lesser known young actor named Lucas Black who played the kid that was Carl's buddy in "Sling Blade". I recently spotted him again (though he was a bit older) in a movie rerun on TV called "All The Pretty Horses". Although he had a relatively a small roll in that movie, in my opinion his performance was the most memorable, and believable of all characters and absolutely stole the whole show. Pretty amazing natural acting skills for a young man with no formal training.

The young actor who impressed me a whole bunch recently was Hailee Steinfeld from the new True Grit.
She absolutely stole that show.

Actors are PREtenders..... BHO is the GREATEST pretender of all time!!!!! I also select.. Will Ferrell Adam Sandler Jim Carrey and a few othes named & that I can't think of at the moment. Their "humor" is stupidity IMO.

A good GREAT one: Robert Duvall. He deserves his own thread. ![[Linked Image]](http://cache2.artprintimages.com/LRG/27/2773/8OWTD00Z.jpg) Steve.

'Dumb and Dumber' was one of the best comedies of all-time.

I've yet to make it through even a scene of a Will Ferrell flick - the man is dreadful.
Another that makes my teeth itch is Matthew McConaughy. Were it not for monotone, and deadpan - I'd have no way to describe him.
Few, none in fact, even approach the greats of only a generation ago (and that's a long list). Newer flicks rely on anything but acting. Toby Keith, along with the usual already mentioned names. (sandler, shore and Jessica Simpson). But, Will Ferrell? I cried like a little baby Jesus during Talledega Nights cause the emotion was so raw. Ron Burgandy, would kick Dan Rather's a$$ and in Weddings Crashers, Will Ferrell was the inspiration for us all in his Puma suit with numchucks for Gawds sake. Sure, he's had a stinker or three, but so has DeNiro, Nicholson etc. etc. Don't be hating on Will.

There hasn't ever been a movie made that caused me to laugh harder and longer than Borat did. Haven't laughed like that at a movie before Borat or since. Disregard the content of the movie and focus on the role itself. He should have been nominated for an oscar for that role. Nobody would have known he was an English Jew doing those scenes....
