    thats one of the best things i have ever read!

The two protagonists from the Twilight saga, particularly the cheating spotlight-craving bird. Though in fairness that originates in large part from the tabloids being too lazy to ever write down their names in full.

I'm not a huge film buff but Jayden Smith, Hayden Christensen and Adam Sandler are good shouts. I'd like to add anyone from any American Pie movie and anyone from The Big Bang Theory. There's someone who I genuinely dislike beyond all measure but their name has escaped me.

Looks more that you dislike these rather than the actual actors in it, to be honest.

I'm not big on him but it's not him.

Maybe American Pie as I let my dislike of that movie series get in the way of the actors themselves, but everyone in The Big Bang Theory was highly irritating, especially their voices.

Can I also add Kevin Bacon to the list? He's done nothing in movies to annoy me but those adverts on TV he does have made me dislike him. How petty am I?

I agree about Bacon...overrated for sure..........

I love those ads:D 

Think Kevin Bacon is a top actor.

Overrated............. Never.

Well said Westi Bacon is top drawer. He is brilliant in the Woodsman and Mystic River, when you more than hold your own with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins you can act.

I'll add

Murder In The First & Sleepers as great performances.

He was good in Crazy Stupid Love.
Even his part in JFK was impressive.

He was good in Mystic River but doesn't take much to hold your own with Sean See-How-Long-I-Can-Continuously-Bawl-My-Eyes-Out Penn & Tim Robbins who is on par with Nicolas Cage & Keanu Reeves when it comes to woodenness.

I dont know her name, but that girl in Twighlight, the lead, with the dead eye... It was horrid! I cant believe I watched that movie series! I was at that Anything for some cookie stage I suppose, and my girlfriend liked it... Even watched Bridesmaids with here... Whoever those women are, go top of my list. Flat out nasty, not even in a funny way, like female Stiflers Dont nobody want that.

Orlando Bloom. Shocking.

I also have a strong hatred of James Corden. Stop making jokes about your weight, it's not funny any more.

after re-watching the star wars series again, hayden christiansen is pretty high up my irritation ladder.

Jim Carrey constantly is...

Sean Penn yes but Tim Robbins ?????....

Maybe Footloose has killed my love for Bacon.........Only eat sausages now !!!..They cook them just right at the Oyster..

Tim Robbins is an amazing actor!!

Check out Arlington Road.

I hate that Wallace guy........Saw him in the curse of the wererabbit.......Never seen anybody so emotion less...........Like he's been made out of clay or something..

Was good in that.
 
Not forgetting Shawshank Redemption.

Ray Winstone? Highly irritating.

I prefer my actors to have charisma and Robbins doesn't have any....Like him as a guy though seems like a good guy....

Thought Winstone was superb in sexy beast.........When Kingsley ws on the rampage he genuinely looked scared stiff........Showed he has a vast range..

Martin Freeman. What a massive lump of good-natured nothingness all wrapped up in a small happy British package. He's just so... INOFFENSIVE. And it drives me up the wall!!

That ginger muppet out of CSI miami......Up himself big style that guy..

and only the lord knows why..

The Ginger Muppet is having a laugh.  CSI is a comic book caper.  His delivery and iconic gazes are all part of the caricature deal.  You want realism, you watch The Godfather!

No!!! Don't.  Because one overrated guy has been eating cheap lunches on the back of those movies for decades now.

Mr OTT himself, Al (never whisper when you can hyperventilate and emote) Pacino. At least the Ginger Muppet understands the volume switch.

Who else irritates me?  

Colin Firth.  A guy who seems to have carved a career out of being grey and bland and making both 'sexy'.
Brad Pitt - Not a bad actor but neither is he good enough or charismatic enough to have had the charmed movie 'superstar' existence he's had (in the pages of popular gossip media, that is )
Robert Downey Jnr - An actor who has lost himself in his own screen presence and assumes the same 'character' will suffice in all movies.  Not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that his particular rapid-fire talking machine, self-confidence oozing character is just a guy I can't warm to.
Simon Pegg - I think he might be a nice man but he doesn't make me laugh and laughing is presumably his selling point.
Christian Bale - it takes more than the ability to slim down and bulk up (all in the one week) to impress me.  He doesn't have genuine menace although he tries so hard (too hard) to extract it in his movies (even going so far as threatening a set technician with bodily injury).  It doesn't work Christian.  You'll always be the little boy with the toy plane in Empire of the Sun.

Downey jr because he isn't anything like Howard Hughes/Tony stark..

Disagree he is Tony Stark without a doubt matches the comics perfectly

I've got the collection....Stark isn't a funny guy...Howard Hughes wasn't funny...

He was a cold blooded industrialist in the comics...

agree to disagree i have read the Civil war/the adventures of iron man and he is a jerk just like how RDJR plays him in the films

Maybe back in the day. In the marvel comics today he is a perfect match.

I've got the original collection and costly it was compiling it....

Stark is a cold blooded workaholic...with later alcohol problems......maybe you should invest too..

Or read Stan lee's description of Stark and why he based him on Hughes..........Who I'm sure you've never heard of..

Characters in comics change and evolve from what they were originally based on. Superman was originally a villan.

Tony Stark was based on Howard Hughes......Who was Superman based on ??

Just be told..and go and wiki Howard Hughes..

Yes based on him. I'm well aware who Howard Hughes is. You seem to have ignored what I said. Characters evolve and change! I'm not debating that he was based on Howard Hughes, just that the character in the films is a truer reflection of stark in the comics nowadays. Not his original comics. Simple enough for you to understand?

Like I said I have the collection as Iron Man was always my favorite..

Maybe If you'd read any you'd see he hasn't evolved very much from 1-400....Who was superman based on ??

dude the stark in the films is the one of the modern comics and it fits if you ask me having read the adventures/civil war where he fits the character spot on ; the whole part of the joke it him meant to be a jerk/smart ass. It fits it perfectly to a modern film version of Iron Man sure its not perfectly like the comics but its close.

This is Funny. It's like hearing a monologue from The Comic Book Guy.... only with two or three voices doing it.

"If my knowledge of sci-fi movies is correct, which it is, the black car is an advanced probe for the mothership. Now, if you're through, I'm going to spend my last hours on Earth complaining about movies on the internet."

We can agree to disagree................

I have read them thank you very much. The stark in the modern day comics and the one in the films is a perfect match. Surely you can understand this? Please note I'm not debating who he was based on.

Superman wasn't based on anyone, I was giving an example of a character changing.

Okay.......I'm a real Tony stark fan.............James Bond has changed but I still prefer Connery..

Hughes is tony Stark..But we can agree to disagree.......

So am I.

Agreed. Agree to disagree.

Superman was based on someone. He was based on quite a few guys actually. Most of them gods from either pagan Greek, Roman, Celtic or even Christian sources.

Superman was by no means the first super man.

Really...........Couldn't have been Claudius...As Clark Kent didn't eat mushrooms..

I meant his very first publication as an evil character. His alter ego further along the comics was indeed based on characters from multiple sources.

Gods are/were evil as the classics yet again confirm. There is always a source.

Anyway, like I said on another thread. Absolutely no Superman meets Batman should be put on-screen unless Godzilla is given a cameo

Back to actors who irritate:

Probably right, can't find anything to say who though.

Whilst its great to see the film being made. Have a horrible feeling they'll do a wolverine and get it all wrong!.

Back to the op.

Hugh Grant. Plays the same floppy haired twit in every film.

On and Pacino (present) HOO HA! SHOUTY SHOUT is not acting.

All of the hollyoaks actors. Painful.

That little Asian umpa lumpa scroat in the Johnny Depp willy wonka movie.....who kept popping up..all the time...

I'd like to drive over him and keep reversing and driving over him until there is nothing left..

Nothing to do with him being Asian mind.....Some good ones about......like Art Malik
