Some people are just naturally gifted actors. It’s in their blood; that, or they just work really hard at their craft. Some, on the other hand, are naturally awful actors. They are painful to watch on-screen. And inexplicably, they still churn out movie after movie. So here’s a list of some men I consider the worst actors working today. I didn’t include people I don’t even consider actors, so I apologize to Larry the Cable Guy. In no particular order:
KEANU REEVES
Gracias to Blue Delusions
Criminal Offenses: The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Matrix, Little Buddha, The Lake House, Constantine, Thumbsucker, … is there any point of even continuing?
This post on one of my favorite blogs chronicles the many faces of Keanu Reeves.

Dude, Nicholas Cage shines in good roles. He’s great in Adaptation!
Yea, but lately he’s been stinking it up. I love him in ‘Moonstruck’!
eddie murphy was a good actor, but only when he stars in movies he isn’t directing or producing.
Can’t see Ben Affleck.
How about Tom Cruise ? of late, nothing great from him
You should add The Little Buddha to the list of Keanu Reeves movies. We had to watch it in history class and our entire class was trying not to laugh as his portrayal of Siddhartha.
Duly noted!
I do believe that there are much worse actors out there in Hollywood. Some of these guys have done a really great job.
I don’t think Dane Cook’s problem is that he has bad acting in his blood, it’s more like all that bad acting blood runs constantly though his genetalia. Really Dane, I think you’re stand up would be much more entertaining if you stopped talking about using your boners as catapults to shoot nuts off of your nuts into your mouth. And I think your movies would be all the better for it if you could manage to stop doing the same thing on screen. Good luck Dane, I know it will be hard, but there’s nothing that a Jonas Brother promise ring and a good-ol-fashion-robin-hood-men-in tights metal chastity belt can’t help!
HEY, don’t hate on Hayden Christensen.
He’s really hot…and Canadian.
Some love to Affleck for his Askewiverse movies, as well as Good Will Hunting, granted his career has gone more than slightly downhill, but hey, nobody’s perfect.
I am at a loss for words. Keanu Reeves at the top of your list?
I think alot of these guys are great, and you have no idea of what your talking about. We all have different tastes in what we like.
Fair enough, though I never called myself an authority on the subject and I never asked you to agree with me.
