Brendan Fraser screwed his own career. He hit it big with The Mummy, then follows that up with Dudley Do-Right and Monkeybone. Most of his roles since have been idiotic, so it is impossible to treat him like a serious actor.

Meghan Fox and Shia LaBeouf are two who get my vote. They combined to utterly ruin the Transformers movies.

Eddie Murphy is abysmal. The very few movies he hasn't completely sucked in were pretty much only because the cast around him carried his sorry ass.

I can't freaking stand Michael Douglas, I want to kick him in the dick. I know some people may think he's ok, but personally I think he's the worst. Take a guy like Ashton Kutcher, he sucks at acting, but in a private conversation I doubt he'd be trying to convince anyone he's any good. Guys like Jonah Hill, Robert Pattinson, Paul Walker, they all suck but they are just riding the fame wave they got lucky to catch. They know how lucky they are to have gotten so far, but Michael Douglas, I cringe when he talks because of how arrogant he is. He's like a used car salesman, a rapist and Donald Trump all in one personality.

Also, Tom Hanks might be the single most overrated actor in Hollywood history.

I used to get a bit patriotic when it comes to acting, but in the last few years realised it isn't so much that Brits are better actors than yanks, its that everyone can act better than yanks.

Was most entertained to read the reason that Hollywood likes to hire Brits for even yank roles in films these days is because they are so much easier to work with, they turn up on time, drink tea and read books until needed, know their lines then hit their mark first time with little fuss or rehersal needed.

Don't even know his name but the dude who plays Jax in Sons of Anarchy. He is terrible. The acting on that show is pretty bad in general but that guy takes it to a whole new level.

I love Brendan Fraser and I don't know why.

As for terrible actors:
- Kirsten Dunst angers me beyond belief.
- That French chick that has played the love interest in a couple of big movies (forget her name) is also very monotonous
- Matthew McConaughey
- Sandra Bullock. It's not really her acting; she just rubs me the wrong way
- Blake Lively

Bill Paxton for me, yes the Game Over moments have a place in movie history, yes it was funny when he pissed his pants in front of Arnie.. but man he just sounds so annoying. I wanted to pull my hair out when I rented Twister years ago. Actually on the whole, Twister was much worse than Bill Paxton.

Brianna Banks should get some recognition.
She does all her own stunts and does not use any body doubles

Edit: Going to add Taylor Swift. Her music is fine, if you're into that kind of thing, but I was just cringing watching her in Valentine's Day (shush, I'm a chick, I'm allowed to watch those movies occasionally...)
