I came here to say Will Ferrell with the same exception, then read your post.

Stranger Than Fiction shows Will Ferrell is perfectly capable of being a good actor playing interesting roles, but chooses to just play low effort trash.

My wife laothes Tom Cruise. Hard stop. No exceptions. I don’t have any problems with him as an actor, the Scientology insanity is a whole other matter.

…maybe one exception: I was able to talk her into seeing Edge of Tomorrow by telling her that he dies 26 times on-screen and countless times off-screen.

Ryan Reynolds. The exception would be Waiting. I’m just so over him and his one dimensional acting.

I have two.

I do not like Will Ferrell in his typical roles at all and I’m glad I’m not the only one saying this anymore. Everyone quotes Anchorman and I just did not enjoy that at all, or Elf, Step Brothers, or any of his “everyone loves” movies. Stranger Than Fiction, however, was amazing and I wish he would do more roles like that.

Tom Cruise is my other one. I find his acting very bland and unappealing. Mission Impossible has put me to sleep every time I try to watch it. I am not a big fan of Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, or any of them. My Cruise exceptions are Tropic Thunder which I wish he did more comedic roles like that and Minority Report, not a perfect movie but it was the very first DVD I ever owned so there is a bit of nostalgia tied to it.

Justin Long. I can’t stand him for some reason. There are only 2 exceptions:

1. Idiocracy - because that movie is so great otherwise and he is only in it for like 2 minutes.
2. Tusk - Because the whole movie is about someone torturing him.

I absolutely agree with you about Stranger Than Fiction. Mine would be Adam Sandler, do not like that style of comedy. The only exception is Punch Drunk Love. One of my favourite movies! Also Jim Carey, except for Yes Men.

I can’t for the life of me get into Seth Rogan

Tom Cruise the scientologist

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Although I wouldn’t call him an actor. So I’m not sure if I answered the question.

Dustin Hoffman. Apparently I’m the only one that can completely see through his method acting efforts. Nothing about him is convincing to me in the slightest. However I did enjoy him in Wag the Dog.

Sebastian Schweighöfer

Chris Pratt, the worst Chris.

Walton Goggins and Will Arnett. I dunno why, I don’t like their acting and they look creepy to me.

James Corden
