Wow, I feel all left out the bunch because I can't think of any actor I despise to not watch any of their films. Sure there are a few that wouldn't make my favorites list, but not to a point I'd avoid them.

I'm still thinking though, maybe I just wiped them out my memory cause they offend me so much.

Oh.

I've never gone to a movie Paris Hilton was in.

Nicolas Cage

John Travolta

Tom Cruise

Ben Affleck

Ben Stiller

Til Schweiger

Oh yes, I forgot him. I really can't stand that guy. And I don't like Leonardo Di Caprio also.

Jennifer Aniston & Adam Sandler. I don't despise them, I just don't find Adam funny & I've already seen 10 seasons of Rachel Green.

the funniest was when I walked by this poster of them together in one film.

I know I should avoid Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock or Cameron Diaz, but I can't

I despise everyone.
Including actors.
So I never go to the movies.
All the entertainment I get in my life comes from hatin'.
Specifically, hatin' by projectin' shit on people I don't know.
That's when I feel the most alive.

I feel the same. Even actors I don't like, like Tom Hanks, I will eventually see films with them in it.

What is more likely is an actor will star in a string of films that I have no desire to see. This was the case with Denzel Washington. I hadn't seen anything with him in it between Mo' Better Blues and The Manchurian Candidate and the latter was only because my family rented it. I have nothing against him, it's just that the type of movies he makes generally don't interest me.

Dang Joe...that's quite some list!

I'm surprised there are any movies left for you to see!

not that long, considering the hundreds and hundreds of actors out there

that's why I've included the "you can also include actors/actresses that single-handedly ruined a good movie, in your opinion...to the point of ruining any chance of re-watching the film" thing

I mean, I saw the film, liked it but the cast (or a certain actor) ruins a possible re-watching...

Yes, you are correct.
Even now, I can feel that his fish-slaps will have absolutely no effect on me.

ok, this thread needs this:

I was about to say this is a good pick, but I remembered I saw the movie Repo! The Genetic Opera, knowing beforehand that Paris was in it and that didn't stop me.

I stick with avoiding Toms....be it Hanks or Cruise!!!

Also Di CRAPio is on my list

Tom Cruise did a great job with 4th of July and the Last Samurai, he surprised me, I admit it

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the most annoying actor for me I guess .

For teenage boys in the 80s, his movies had to be seen. The Conan movies, The Terminator, Commando, Predator, Running Man, Total Recall, even his comedies like Twins and Kindergarten Cop, I've seen all those. My taste in films have changed since then clearly.

I've got a few, but their names are escaping me at this time. When I think of them, I'll post.

I only saw parts of the Terminator and that was more than enough for me . Then again I hate action movies and only watch them if I am forced to do . And I won't hold back to tell the people who forced me how aweful they are IMO .

The first person who came to mind is Sandra Bullock.

I hate her voice, and to me all of her performances are the same, whether she's on a speeding bus or saving a young football player.

And I think Jennifer Aniston is overrated.

I just got home. Give me time.

Don't despise 'em and wouldn't necessarily refuse to see something with 'em in it, but don't care for:

Johnny Depp

Angelina Jolie

Jennifer Aniston

Joaquin Phoenix

Viggo Mortensen

Drew Barrymore

Dax Shepard (sp?)

Can't believe I forgot this one:

Robert Downey, Jr.

Will Farrell.

Just why?
