Actors or Actresses you disliked in any film or in a particular role - Page 20

Old Mannequin Skywalker himself, Haydyn Christianson.

I know it's not entirely his fault, the dialogue was awful and he had nothing to react to except some green tarpaulin, but his performance is just horrible (and Christopher Lee, Liam Neeson etc had the same problem but they all managed). Which is what you get when you cast an extra from Dawson's Creek rather than an actual actor.

All those years thinking that Darth Vader was the baddest mo-fo in the galaxy, and turns out he's just a whiny teenager pining for his almost-equally irritating girlfriend.

There are a lot of characters in films or shows that I hate which means to me that the actors did a good job in the role. I hated Joaquin Phoenix for years after Gladiator and only forgave him after Walk the Line and I currently hate William H. Macy for his role as Frank Gallagher in Shameless. I see his smug grin and I want to use a 12 gauge on him.
The are just very good actors in roles as scum.

Don't know if anybody else feels the same, myself being a bit of a Johnny Cash nut, well I think that was one of the all time great performances purely for the fact that while watching it you could have been forgiven for thinking it was Johnny Cash on the screen, the singing was damn close.
