I was going to suggest Forest Whitaker, while I haven't seen nearly everything he has done, nothing I thought I had seen him in was crap. So I looked through his filmography on IMDB, and there it was like a stone in a bag of kittens dragging his career to a watery grave, Battlefield Earth!
Sean Penn
(ps. I have never seen Shanghai Surprise and I bet you haven't either)
William Fichtner
He's been in the odd stinker, but for the most part he's done some decent films, including one of my all time favourties - Black hawk down. He's also done the voices for some the GTA games which makes him instantly cool
Ron Eldard?
Eric Bana?
They've all been in shite films ,bill murray has ben walking around looking vaguely baffled for the past ten years , forest whittaker was in species and george clooney started his carreer in attack of the killer tomatoes ,sylvester stallone started in porn.

Cillian Murphy
Sunshine. Unfortunately.
I was going to nominate Simon Pegg. Notwithstanding the Mission Impossible francise...
Alec Guinness.
Graham Chapman
+1 for sean penn
trying to think of a naff film he was ever in? even his role in walter mitty is the best thing in the film.
I cant think of a truely naff brad pitt film ... sh1t, strike that, they were both in Tree of Life.
anonymouse - MemberAlec Guinness.
I reckon that's nailed it, after having a quick look. 🙂
I love Sunshine.... hmmm, controversial.
Guinness was in Raise the Titanic, but otherwise is putting in a very strong showing!
Wesley Snipes?
hey, someone spotted it! snipes has indeed been in a truckload of straight-to-video crapola fests
sean penn
good call
Cate Blanchett and
aargh! Indiana Jones Crystal Skull
otherwise, good call
Kristen Scott Thomas
Couldn't help noticing Confessions of a Shopaholic in the CV... but good call
Sean Penn...Shanghai Surprise.
Sorry Sean, it's the only blot on an otherwise excellent copybook.
Jim Broadbent,
Helen Mirren,
Maggie Smith,
Eileen Atkins (all Dames).

As I said - I bet you haven't seen it...
May I nominate Quentin Tarantino for worst actor in some very good films
Edit: This is hard, even Mads Mikkelsen has been in some dross
Edit x 2: Paul Newman has a good career, better than most of his contemporaries.
I still say Dustin Hoffman 😡
Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood
Nah, he was in that awful one that involved him and 2 other old blokes going into space. Forget the name
I was going to nominate Simon Pegg. Notwithstanding the Mission Impossible francise...
And Run Fat Boy Run
James Earl Jones?
Oh yeah Space Cowboys forgotten about that one, but he has been in some class
I still say Dustin Hoffman
Rainman - utter rubbish; Tootsie - garbage; Outbreak - indescribable.
Brendan Gleeson has a good ratio for me considering how prolific he is.
Can't fault Matt Damon much tbh..
Mrs anagallis is an actor and shes not been in any shit films ( or good ones) in fact I know loads and loads of actors who have not been in any films at all.
Kevin Smith. Not been in many films, but they're all great
Rainman - utter rubbish; Tootsie - garbage; Outbreak -indescribable.
I might give you Outbreak, but the other 2 are not bad films.
Jackie Chan
Can't fault Matt Damon much tbh..
Good call. But he was in that one about the zoo which is meant to be awful.
Tom Cruise and Sean Connery.
Tom cruise are you having a tin bath? I'm struggling to think of good ones!
Connery's last bond film was poor, disclosure was cack as well
Maggie smith was in the royal Darjeeling whatsit, utter tripe, Jim Broadbent (a favourite actor of mine) was in Moulin Rouge
Robert Redford has a pretty good CV.
Yes Tom Cruise. I am not a big fan myself, although Collateral is one of my favourite films of recent years. Also really like Minority report. Good and crap are so subjective but look at his list of credits. Not a huge amount of flops in there. He is consistent and most of what he appears in is at least watchable.
Acting ability aside, he appears in a far higher percentage of at least 'goodish' movies than say Pacino or De Niro.
Connery also, of course he has appeared in some guff, personally like Outland but don't like The Rock, however loads of people love The Rock.
Sean Connery.
Some great, some good, some average, but then there's this...

Page five and no one's managed to find a bad film for Philip Seymour Hoffman yet...
Jamie Foxx?
Philip Seymour Hoffman has been in Along came Polly, Hunger Games and MI2, so at least three stinkers.
Jamie Foxx was in Stealth, which is as bad as it gets.
I move to strike Hunger Games of the "stinkers" list.
^ seconded
Cruise, despite being a complete fruitcake, is a fair call.
Also, marion cotillard.
Tom Cruise - Mission Impossible destroys his record.
Oh I dunno, I thought Mission Impossible was pretty classy.
Sequels? the latest one was good.
Tom Cruise [s]- Mission Impossible[/s] destroys his record.
[i]I thought Mission Impossible was pretty classy.[/i]
Each to their own eh? 😆 Utter bilge if you ask me.

You're right, MI:2 was a stinker but Philip Seymour Hoffman isn't in it. He's in MI:3, the J. J. Abrams one, which is a great film, as is Hunger Games. Haven't seen Along Came Polly...
Dustin Hoffman ????
I'm currently watching 'Little Fockers'. Kin awful. 😥
