For me, I don't want to know the personalities and positions of actors
Like Jim Carrey - most of the stuff he does now is easy to pass on but I don't care to know his position on vaccinations or gun control. I'm not sure why actors believe they have much keener insight to a position because they have a microphone in front of them than anyone else.
I don't keep up with tabloids or entertainment shows so I stay pretty shielded from the actor as a real person.
all that said, its Jim Carrey
I'll still watch pretty much anything Nicolas Cage is in. He makes 15 movies a year. One of his last ones called "Joe" is actually pretty good.
back in 1992 I'm at a Knights of Columbus Crew Mardi Gras Ball - these are fairly serious affairs - people in Tuxedos and what not and the place is hot as hell because its packed with people so me and my wife decide to step out and go around an outside hallway to get some air. As we come around the corner I'm face to face with Seagal standing next to his wife, Kelly Lebrock (back when she didn't eat donuts for appetizers).
So I kind of jumped back and just instinctively say "Holy [bleep], its Steven Seagal!". My wife had no idea who he was, but this guy put this death glare on me and stares at me the entire time we walk by - I'm talking like 15 ...20 seconds. Doesn't say a word and all the while his wife is bitching about how hot it is and how she hates it here.
I mean he is physically moving his head to keep his glare on me. I didn't ask for an autograph or even talk to him or his wife - but he clearly had an issue with me being in the same hallway with him.
It was weird. Plus he was known to be a karate badass so I'm trying to figure out if he just knows Karate or if he knows Ka-razy too.
Of course nothing happened and I never saw him again the rest of the night.
It's a long list but a few: Sean Penn Steven Seagal Tom Cruise George Clooney Chevy Chase Brad Pitt Kathy Griffin Rosie Alex Baldwin Tina Fey Amy Poehler
Most because of their in ability from trying to push their political agenda's down our throats.
I did have an encounter with Steven Seagal that wasn't negative. Stood at an outfitters table at SCI and chatted with him for about 10 minutes. Mindless conversation, and I was't sure way he was there, being a Buddhist. He acted like he was interest in an elk hunt. I wondered if he was an anti scoping the place out, but he made no derogatory remarks and was polite to me. Since that was before he bloated out, the girls nearby were all swooning. I actually did;t recognize him in that setting, and it wasn't until we were engaged in conversation I noted his name badge.
Nicolas Cage, he could ruin the best movie ever written.
The only reason Nicolas Cage is in movies is because his dad or maybe Uncle ? is someone very important in hollywood. The one I really just don't like is George Clooney .

You're thinking of his uncle, Francis Coppola.
That's it. Cage and Clooney both only make movies because of nepotism.
I hunted for a week with John Larroquette and he is absolutely one of the good guys. Hell of a rifle shot, too.
Ones I cannot stand and WILL NOT watch? Sean Penn Martin Sheen Jim Carey (met him once and he's a smartass, self-important, liberal POS) Whoopi Goldberg Jane Fonda George Clooney Alec Baldwin Susan Sarandan

Was that a varmint hunt you and Larroquette were on, Steve?
Pleeeze! He was married with kids and almost 35 years old when our involvement started.
You do realize that he applied to the US Naval Academy but was not accepted and went to USC instead. Hardly unAmerican.
Wayne was born in 1907...
Jimmy Stewart was born in 1908 Clark Gable was born in 1901 Henry Fonda was born in 1905 Douglas Fairbanks Jr. was born in 1909 John Ford (Director) was born in 1894
All served in the war...my father had three children and served...
FWIW, Republic Studios arranged for John Wayne's deferments throughout WWII. He was their only bankable star, they did not want to lose him, and threatened to cancel his contract if he enlisted. His estranged wife put pressure on the studio, too, as he was supporting her and his 4 kids. Wayne probably could have done something about all that, but I don't get the impression that he tried very hard.
Not serving in WWII haunted Wayne for the rest of his life. His mentor (Admiral) John Ford never let him forget it, either.
The sad reality is that the entertainment industry has been dominated by liberals for decades and it is a wonder any of the more conservative actors ever get a job.
I smashed Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Andrew Shue in intramural flag football after they tackled our quarterback and laughed about it. Made all three of those "anti-gun" liberal POS cry like little girls.
I still would argue that throwing Obama out of my dorm room is still one of the highlights of my life. The little Priss is actor in chief.

and so did my wife.....ummm....Morgan Fairchild!
I actually got to have supper with Morgan in Atlanta one time. Drop dead gorgeous in person and very nice. Shorter than I thought she'd be. Still remember that supper....whew.

Was that a varmint hunt you and Larroquette were on, Steve?
Yep, it was. We hunted the Rosebud Res and points south. It was Ned, Jim Carmichael, John and myself.
Oh, funny thing I didn't write about. We were on the rez and John and I were simply chopping the crap out of BIG dogs. Splat, splat, splat ... Oh, I forgot to mention that it was in the middle of an cemetery that was planted out in the middle of nowhere.
Anyway, we were having fun blasting dogs up and splattering them (gut,s feathers and all) on the tombstones.
After a while, an old Indian guy walked over from trailer house and raised his hand for us to stop.
Then, he got closer, took one looooong look at John and said, "Mr Larroquette, the wife and I love Night Court and the John Larroquette Show. You and your buddy can kill all the prairie dogs you want. Hell, we got too many of the damned buggers in the cemetery anyway. And most of the folks you are shooting over (the dead folks) are probably enjoying the show."
So, John and I continued ... and the Indian WHOOPED at every gory shot.
For some reason, I didn't include that in the article I wrote about the hunt.

I thought so. I remember that article fairly well. From you meeting him at the airport where he towered over most, to his rifles needing proper zero before the serious killing began. One of his rifles was an H&K semi-auto if I remember correctly.
I also recall you mentioning that he had a habit of sticking his tongue out to the side when concentrating on a shot.
Thanks for sharing the cemetery details and the Indian fellas comments. Would have made for a pretty good chuckle if you do had included it.
All kidding aside I thought Bruce Dern should have got an academy award for the great bad guy he played in The Cowboys. Unless you have a great villain most action, western, etc. movies suck.
Most have already been named but I have to throw Stevie Seagle up again. Absolutely sucks as a humanoid, right up there with bill clinton on the sexual predator list.
Slime ball has left broken women and his offspring around the world. Met a guy years ago who had been training in the same dojo in Japan as stevie, quite the stories, and that was just the beginning of "illustrious" career.
Sylvester Stallone. We ran into him coming out of our NYC hotel as we were going in. Short guy, and he was wearing a floor length fur coat. My 12 year old stepson ran up to him and asked for his autograph. He sneered at the boy and told him to go away. His entourage hustled him away, or my wife and I would've tag teamed his sorry ass for insulting our son. (Well we told each other that in the elevator. Probably could've though- he was not an impressive individual.)
Bill Cosby bought the (then) wife and I a huge slice of cheesecake when we sat next to him at the counter of The Stage Deli, again in NYC. We were quite charmed by his friendliness, but that was 1994, not so much now.
I can remember as a kid I was kinda creeped out by watching Cosby.
It seems (like in the Jello Pudding Pop commercials) he would put kids in an awkward verbal situation/pause and then kinda feed/react off their nervous responses. Seemed weird to me.

U listen to comics talk about Cosby behind the scenes and he was a creepy bastard. He used to make the staff at the venues he was at watch him eat his dinners. Like the WHOLE staff had to just stand there while he ate. He was a strange dude. Now that he has been knocked down a peg or two people in showbusiness have been talking about his weird quirks. He would ruin you before this all if u talked about him

I went to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii one time. We saw all kinds of Players there during that week and most of them were generous to kids about giving out their autographs. When we were at the airport to leave and we were at the ticket counter, Troy walked up and was standing in line and a little girl came up to him with her program from the game to get his autograph and all he said was "NO" and looked away. The kid put her head down and walked away. What a POS. I know it probably get's old, but that's why they make the big bucks.
