    For me it's Tom Cruise and Matt Damon (and Keith Lemon, if that counts? ;) )

    I disagree with that, but only because he was very entertaining (in my opinion) in the Bill & Ted films :)
    I enjoyed the Bill and Ted films but they were still very forced performances by Keanu. The other guy seemed to be trying less.

    Tom Cruise
    Charlie Sheen
    (Only since they both went nuts though)

    Leonardo DiCaprio just something about him what bugs me I don't know what it is even the first time I saw him when he was a kid in Critters 3 he bugged me

    I can't say an actor will make me avoid a film altogether but they do give me pause for thought when I am considering watching a film.

    Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, Dwayne Johnson, Tom Cruise, Jaden Smith, Kirsten Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Vince Vaughn (This guy in particular gives me serious pause for thought)

    By and large that would be my list as well. However all three of those "actors" have one film that I quite enjoy

    Tom Cruise Valkyrie
    Will Smith I Am Legend
    Nick Cage Con Air

    Keira Knightley.

    Her face and so called acting ability makes me want to vomit.

    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.


    A good example of this is Will Ferrell...his movies leave me cold, just don't find the guy funny. But yet I enjoyed The Other Guys, because there was enough going on in the movie and other actors to take my mind off him.

    I thought about Kevin Costner but i loved JFK, it's one of my all time faves so it's hard to dislike him :)

    Another vote for Keira Knightley. Since when did pouting at the camera count as acting?! She is more wooden than a wooden boat in the middle of a wood.

    Where to start?

    Adam Sandler obviously,
    Will Ferrell
    Ben Stiller
    Vince Vaughan
    Any of the rest of that lot
    Jim Carrey
    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.
