It's got to be Matt Damon, surely? Seen Team America? He wasn't there for nothing.

Sure, he isn't worse than Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise but both of them are quite easy to like on screen. Damon just makes me want to beat him to death with a knobkerry.
What about the Bourne films you madman?

Nicholas Cage, without question although he had a rare moment of excellence in Leaving Las Vegas

The entire cast of the original Beverly Hills 90210 programme (I'm pretty sure there was a film version at some point, which qualifies them for this thread) Luke Perry, Brian Austin Green, Jason Priestley, Shannon Docherty et al...

And a special mention must go to Tori Spelling, who looks like a horse with malnutrition and got every acting job she ever had because of who her daddy is...

He was in Team America because he is good friends with Matt Stone and Trey Parker and told them he had better be in it "or else" so they decided to make him appear to be a retard for a joke.

You *do* realise that Team America wasn't real don't you?

Really the WORST actor in the history of cinema? In a world where Pauly Shore can make 47 films, you choose Han-fecking-Solo as the worst actor in history.
Agreed, whilst no acting genius, he only registers the barest whiff of Keanu on the Reeves scale.
Which is why I said he isn't the worst but for some reason it's who I think of when people raise this topic. I can't comment on Pauly Shore I've only ever seen him in one film.

He wasn't too bad as the panicking sketch bloke at the beginning of 5th Element biggrin

Although talking of 90210, Tori "I have a huge moonface, no discernible acting ability whatsoever and, oh, my dad's the owner of the show" Spelling, kicks the lot of them into touch by a factor of elventy billion anyway.

Well, Jason Statham is definitely in that John Wayne group.

But today, the most unbelievable-in-any-acting-role award has to go to Ricky Gervais.

Sean Bean - i'm not sure which is more overpowering, the poorness of his acting or his general tttishness. I confess i haven't seen much of his work; Ronin was enough for me, but i'm amazed by the way he is lauded by fans and critics. I suspect most of them are sexually frustrated women. I also supect that when at home he wears a bottle green velvet smoking jacket and smokes his balkan sobranies through a long silver cigarette holder and talks like brian sewell - i bet he only puts on that nooooortherrn accent for effect.

Well, for reasons that will remain obvious, I didn't watch them. I quite like the TV in one piece.

With you on Cage though, he's down there with the worst of them.

John Wayne - almost certainly - I can't tell any of his characters apart.
^^^^ This. I have never managed to watch a Duke move all the way through. Every film blends into the same rubbish. Even when he was out of cowboy costumes and into military outfits and the one where he seemed to be mimicking the Clintmeister in Dirty Harry (But i don't know whcih came first).
