What actor/actress sets your teeth on edge, and why is it Jared Leto?

Is Lawrence Fox too obvious?

Is what Miranda Hart does count as acting? If yes, her.

I think generally Ricky Gervais is an alright bloke, the issue is I don't find him remotely funny. The office for me was dreadful, to near reality and basically sad. And ever since, his stand up etc, has just left me cold.

Try After Life and then make a decision. It is also sad but also funny and uplifting. Rather good.

David Tenant is kind of annoying as a Dr Who but he's brilliant in Jessica Jones.

For me it's Nicholas Cage, he absolutely ruins any scene he's in.

Yes, this was the point - wasn't a comedy, it was a heartbreaking work of pathos that I found pretty moving.

Sandra Bullock
Keira Knightley
Ryan Gosling (Even though he was in Bladerunner 2049)

I don't know why, I'm sure they're lovely people in real life.

You're right there, he's the best thing in JJ. I was wondering why season 2 was such a drag and then he returned as a ghost and I realised what was missing.

For me it’s Nicholas Cage, he absolutely ruins any scene he’s in.

Wrong

Adam Sandler. Though I did enjoy uncut gems. Great casting as I don't think the audience were supposed to have much sympathy for his infuriating character.

I don't hate Jared Leto as an actor but I saw his band once and aaaargh.

I don't know his name but there's a guy on the theatre circuit that annoyed me in a performance of On The Waterfront because of how he said Jamesons, and also because of how he impersonated a pigeon, and now every time he pops up I want to storm the stage and kill him.

Ok, in which case, yes great acting, but it was still unwatchable for me.

I just wish Harrison Ford would **** off the wizened old fool.

Glad to see I'm not the only David Tennant detester on the block.

Also add my name to Adam Sandler and Rickey Gervais. Comedy is subjective I know, but neither of these two have ever raised a smile

He was a bit of a knob as a teenager according to my brother (yes that’s a direct quote) who knew him in his first couple of years at UCL, but then so are a lot of people who become admirable as adults.

The person who I really can’t watch is that bloke on casualty- Derek Thompson? In my opinion he is more wooden than our front door.

Acting is often a lot harder than it looks,unless they are just being lazy or deliberately stupid,then I cut them a lot of slack ...yours,an Ex-drama Queen 🤣😂😉

Theo James.

He was in the Inbetweeners Movie, he played the part of cocky prick so well that I can't see past it now. I'm sure he's a nice person IRL and he's gone on to have a great career, but nope, sorry Theo your face will always have me reaching for the remote.

Craig Fairbrass.

Usually plays the same East End ****ster, usually in those terrible 'rise of the foot solder' films that weirdos like to pull themselves around watching.

Tyler Perry

Took over from the sublime Morgan Freeman in one of the Alex Cross films, was shit, everything I've seen in him since has been shit.

Colin Farrell

I don't know why, I just don't like him.

Oh, if we're going just for TV famouses.

Tim Minchin, smug know-it-all prick so stuck up his own arse he's become he's collapsing on on himself like a dying star.

Repulsive

Eh, Truman show and eternal sunshine beg to differ.

When he tries to be funny I have no interest but they got range.

I really don't think Ricky Gervais is fair. He's not a jokes actor but afterlife is great and the office he plays his character unbelievably well.

Kelsey Grammar is a good shout. Has he ever done anything decent?

How about Sean Connery. He' shit in everything I have seen. And he was a wife beating shit in real life.

And Gwyneth paltrow obviously.

Richard E Grant - just ghastly. There's a bottomless reservoir of properly wooden actors too, but he's either the world's most appalling luvvie or he's spent his life acting one. I don't quite know which would be worse.

Yep, it's good, but Richard E Grant is still a horrific luvvie and just grates on me. Being in one ace film doesn't make up for the rest of his career. Sorry.
