acting is easy otm i still think i should've gone into it if it didn't require knowing other actors
I like how it's ambiguous here whether the problem is that actors are not accessible to you or that you really just don't want to have to associate with them (or both)

I thought I might get some good ideas from this list and the actors featured made me laugh for like a full thirty seconds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_actors
Spoiler: Stan Lee is #1.

Tom Hanks is a toughie inasmuch as he's been pretty good in about half the stuff he's been in and like grotesquely terrible in a lot of other stuff he's been in.

the only actor off the top of my head who has never ever worked for me in anything I've seen is paz de la heurta, and I can absolutely imagine her being great in the right role

oh yeah actors are weird and have bad personal style in my experience
― plax (ico), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 17:26 (three years ago) link
actors also somehow more self-involved over their meager achievements than poets even, heads so far up their asses that they're like mobius strips of malignant narcissism, incredible

I haven't seen him in a while but I know a guy who's an actor and, at various times, has been a main character in a couple of long running UK TV shows and he's a pretty down-to-earth bloke, not in the least precious.

I’ve never fancied Jude Law but he’s been great in at least six things and is well above the Bloom bar

ryan o neill is the only person i've posted who has ever been good in anything
Even excluding the MCU, I’ve seen at least 70% of all Portman movies and she’s bad in all of them, whereas I can’t say the same about Hanks or Jude Law or ScarJo.

Burt Lancaster was terrible in the wrong movie, as usual, but good and often great in a good one.
There. I summed up the thread.

do you actually have to have seen them in anything? if not, I nominate Eddie Redmayne

yes Eddie Redmayne is a horrible actor and The Danish Girl is in the running for most execrable moviewatching experience

Also remember that period when Kate Beckinsale was seemingly cast in everything? Can’t remember a single one of her performances... just a complete non-entity. Ditto Eric Bana.
