I think there is a big difference between an actor you don't like simply being one of a number of actors in a film that otherwise appeals to you, or the film itself being essentially a vehicle for that person.
For example, I would always avoid any comedy movie built around Rob Schneider, but if he was simply one of the cast of a movie with other actors starring then it would not bother me, certainly if the movie otherwise appeaeled to me.
I agree with this. I avoid vehicles for/films starring:
Sandra Bullock
Julia Roberts
Katherine Heigl
Anne Hathaway
Sarah Jessica Parker
and Jennifer Aniston
but if they are just part of the cast (usually with a relatively small role) I don't mind too much. There's a chance they may get a role different to the characters they usually play over and over again. Typecast actors doing something different can be really interesting.
James Nesbit
Julia Roberts
Will Ferrel
Woody Harrelson
Chris Rock
Jim Carrey
Adam Sandler
Kate Hudson
Nick Cage
Will Smith (his "comedies" at least) and his kids
Bruce Willis
Four pages in and no hatred for Martin Lawrence, what's wrong with you people?
He is somewhat similar to Rob Schneider in that they keep making comedy vehicles for him, so you really need to be a fan of his to watch this stuff as the whole movie revolves around him.
And frankly neither of these people are funny enough to carry a movie anyway.
Adam Sandler obviously,
Will Ferrell
Ben Stiller
Vince Vaughan
Any of the rest of that lot
Jim Carreyi
John Cusack (apart from Con-Air)
Arnie
Sean Connery
Michael Douglas
Andie McDowell
There are all sorts of things that make me avoid films, actors, genres, images on the DVD cover or posters, most of the one line descriptions you get on, On Demand.
Michael Douglas has made some great movies. Fatal attraction. Falling Down. Basic Instinct. Wall Street.

I don't even count Sarah Jessica Parker as an actress...shes more of a prop

It's more the role he plays. I've never found him remotely convincing as the heart throb male, who has women 20 years his junior infatuated by him. Maybe it could just pass in SOSF but not any time since then. The passionate scenes hindered two of those. Wall street was good, never seen Falling Down.
George Clooney
Brad Pitt
Angelina Jolie
Tom Cruise
Action stars - Arnie, Stallone etc
Adam Sandler
Will Smith
Renee Zellweger - Kathy Griffin's description is hilarious.
To be honest, anyone too famous in the leading role/s puts me off. It usually ends up being more of an ego trip for them than anything else.
Nic cage- after the mid 90s
Vin diesel- after pitch black.
Angelina jolie-best supporting actress my arse.
Aniston-same shite different film.
Keira- head on a stick pouty face.
