He also did a lot of voiceover work, including the narration in Quest for Glory IV. I still play that game sometimes just to hear him narrate.
Worst gig an actor took

Speaking of John Rys-Davis, I should point out that the man willingly appeared in an Uwe Boll film yet refused to be in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Think about that.
Think about that.
I liked it too, though most people can't stand it. There are plenty worse offerings from the list of SNL skits-to-films. There are some great quotes/moments in the film.
And then there's the Subway commerical. 
Chris Farley is incredible in Coneheads. Small role, but hilarious.
Anyway, Richards played the receptionist at the motel where Beldar and Prymatt first stay after crashing their ship on Earth. Richards plays a straight man against the aliens, which was a poor casting choice as Richards doesn't really work as a straight man in comedy. In this role, he played it bored and confused and it clearly didn't work.
Michael Rosenbaum in Sorority Boys
I see no mention yet of Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls.
The scary thing is, that was the high point of her career!
Meanwhile, when Christopher Lee was being knighted, I'm sure he was thinking back on his glory days in The Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf . . . .
Well, I guess it was the high water mark in terms of notoriety and exposure (pun semi-intended). Glancing at the Pedia of Wiki, she's had quite a few modest acting gigs on stage, TV and film since, and I suspect they were better acting gigs for her overall.
Wasn't Berkley on that Saved by the Bell sitcom for several years? I gathered that was pretty popular when it was on, so I would've thought she'd be remembered mainly for that. Granted the notoriety of Showgirls would've overshadowed it, but I would've thought it would at least be remembered as her other primary claim to fame. I mean, heck, I barely even watched the show and I remember her in it.
Yes, I remember her as Jessie Spano in Saved By The Bell, but as you say, the notoriety of her role in Showgirls (and, in my opinion, her performance in it) overshadowed that for better or for worse. I'm still not sure if she took the script seriously or not, but word has it that she learned a lot from that acting gig and its aftermath.
Ben Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms!
I would've said Mike Myers in anything. I can't understand why anyone thinks he's funny or talented.
Mostly he's just being Mike Myers. However his British officer in Inglorious Basterds was the most headscratching moment in cinematic history.

I feel that way about Adam Sandler.
Yep it looks like it
. I kind of liked the movie myself , crappy parts aside. I've seen worse movies over the years.
I've noticed the just recycle the same jokes over and over. I thought the Love Guru was just left over jokes from "Austin Power"
"Just Go with it" and the tv spots with Sandler falling in between two wooden boards was not funny.
