OT: worst actor or actress to ruin a role or movie.

Submitted by NFG on July 23rd, 2016 at 9:48 PM

Holy Hell. To piggy back the best movie fight scene topic, I ask you, what actor or actress single handily ruined a movie for you? I rented Batman vs. Superman tonight and the character played by Jesse Eisenberg is damn near the biggest insult to a casting role I've ever witnessed. It could be the 30 year old scotch I had, but I am pretty sure he ruined the movie and I never want to see his post dodgeball game face again.

I think he was actually good in The Fly but that's about it.

He was in the Graduate for about 2 seconds. Picks up a phone at a party and begins making a call.

It was Richard Dreyfuss who had a 2 second, 1 line part in The Graduate. Goldblum would have been 14 years old.

He was pretty good in Deep Cover as well. He played the coke freak lawyer to perfection.

The only role Keanu was suited for playing was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. After that...not so good!

There was a period of time in school where I was sick a few times and matchstick men was the only thing on tv and I really liked the movie and his role. He was alright in raising Arizona and national treasure, but other than that I don't really like him

I actually love Nicholas Cage because he's usually in a different movie than everyone else in the movie, and he's always memorable. However he was the worst part of "Captain Corelli's Mandolin," such that I can't even remember if the rest of the movie was good or bad. You've got Penelope Cruz and a wonderful Christian Bale taking it seriously, and Cage hamming it up with a red-sauce-spaghetti Italian-American accent.
