Actors/Actresses you can't believe still get work.

Vice Admiral
I loved him in the Producers.
Jonah Hill is another one. GAH! After Superbad he got so many films.
Forgot, Seth McFarlane...
Well, let's face it -- she's not exactly making Merchant Ivory films or The English Patient.
Certain kinds of films require a different level of acting skill. Transformers are popcorn movies. I don't think people go to see those for their Meryl Streep level of acting skill...
Actually, she's going to star in a Merchant Ivory film being directed by Michael Bay. You should see the scene with Anthony Hopkins diving through the air while firing two muskets at the same time.
Stallone was brilliant in Copland. And he's great in Rocky Balboa and Rambo. The guy's a friggin' legend. Cut him some slack. And go rent Copland. Great flick.
As for who sucks the life out of a film...hmmm.
Rene "Scrunchy-face" Zellweger

Agreed. The OP is on so much crack for dissin' the Sewell. I'd also like to mention his performance in A Knight's Tale.
You're not really in a position to judge Diesel's work if you haven't seen the Riddick movies. And even if you end up not liking him, I think you might still like Pitch Black. It's not as Diesel-centric as The Chronicles of Riddick. In Pitch Black, he's more the rogue x-factor. Radha Mitchell is the real lead of the film.
I thought the only directors who ever cast him were himself & Robert Rodriguez. OK, there was also Sukiyaki Western Django, but that was barely a cameo and had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie. Still, I kinda like him as an actor. I'm not saying he could carry a movie but I think he's got this interesting vibe to his performances. He reminds me of a former co-worker. I liked his work in Desperado, From Dusk 'till Dawn, & Pulp Fiction. (BTW, does anyone else think that he looks kinda like Dr. McKay from Stargate Atlantis?)
It'll be interesting seeing what happens when he starts looking too old to play the oblivious high school student. I'm giving him a pass so far because I loved Arrested Development but he plays friggin' George Michael Bluth in every single thing he does.
My jury is still out on him. I hated Superbad and especially hated him in it. But I thought he was pretty good in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I think I'll wait to see how Get Him to the Greek turns out.
Worse than any other actors mentioned in this thread so far is Freddie Prinze Jr. He's still getting work, although his profile isn't nearly as high as it was, like, 5 years ago when he did Scooby-Doo 2.
Please. Please do. I've seen your pics. You look as good as her.
--Australis, trying to be not creepy at all.
I think Vin Diesel is awesome. Sure, he's had some crap films (e.g. xXx) but he was great in the Riddick films and Fast and the Furious. And btw: He has three Riddick films technically ... the main two and then Dark Dury. Also check out Escape from Butcher Bay if you want to see his talent at work.
Nah she looks better then Megan Fox.

And I'm still waiting for the guy who was offensive to people with Aspergers to come back into the thread and reply to my post
Renee "hamster staring at the sun" Zellweger, as Mark Kermode puts it nicely.
Not to be confused with Gwyneth Paltrow, however... or Danny Dyer.
Except when it involves animals...
Donkey in Shrek and Dr. Doolittle...
What's wrong with this thread is what's wrong with the Internet. I hope some of you are joking when you say you don't understand why people like TOM FUCKING CRUISE still get work. I don't care who people like or don't like, that's personal opinion, but transferring that opinion in such a matter of fact way bothers me. Why does Adam Sandler get work? Because many people find him funny, he's a genuinely good person IRL, and he owns one of the biggest independent production companies in Hollywood (Happy Madison... the one that made a quarter billion dollars this year with Paul Blart and has produced about 40 movies in the past eight years).
And just out of curiosity, why do people think Megan Fox is an idiot? As in "actually stupid". I've read plenty of interviews with her. She's got a bit of an aggressive streak but I'd hardly call her stupid.

^^Sorry but I find this is what's wrong with the internet too.
People can't express their opinions about celebs without someone taking it personal.
Part of being a celeb is being critiqued by the press and the public.
It comes with wanting a job that's in the public eye.

I didn't take it personally at all. Not a bit.
Perhaps the thread should be titled "Actors/Actresses you hate" because that's what many of the posts in this thread are about.
Maybe you should ask people why they hate people they don't know enough to call them names and insult them personally?

David Caruso is a huge mystery to me; not so much in the "how does this guy still get paid employment in anything other than a McDonald's" sense, but "what the hell happened to him?"
The first season of NYPD Blue is quite a long time ago now, but my memory of Caruso in that was of an interesting, intense character actor (even though, as happened to Jimmy Smits and The Other Guy, he was overshadowed by Dennis Franz). His performance as Kelly certainly got plenty of acclaim.
Then apparently the brain slugs got him after the first season, because he suddenly went "Fuck you and your piddly-shit TV show, I'm clearly the next A-list Hollywood star!" And anyone who's seen Jade will know how well that worked out.
But then somehow he came back... as some kind of lazy, monotone zombie version of himself. Caruso as Horatio did show the odd glimmer of emotion in the first season of CSI: Miami, but after that it was all standing with hands on hips, donning/removing sunglasses, and YEAAAAAAHHHHHH!
I guess that when he sold his soul to the Devil in return for success, he added a rider trading his acting ability for sunblock.

Shia LaBeouf.
For the love of God, I don't know what he's got on Spielberg, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why he's in every fucking one of Spielberg's movies. Or any other movies for that matter.
He was okay in Constantine, because he didn't have that big of a part. By Disturbia, he's playing the exact same character. Transformers, he's STILL playing the same damn character. Indiana Jones. STILL. SAME. CHARACTER. The dude sucks and has one of those faces you want to punch. In fact, I'm refusing to watch Revenge of the Fallen, just because I hate that asshole.
