What are some of the worst roles you think specific actors have taken on?
Almost every actor/actress has a role they never should have taken. What are some of the worst ones, in your opinion?
Just name the actor/actress, and the role.

Johnny Depp in Willy Wonka.
Whaaaaa
Kurt Russell was the perfect match to play Snake Plissken! I can’t imagine anyone more badass to play Plissken.
And who is that little, skinny guy that played Batman? Michael Keaton! Way too wimpy.
Al Pacino taking part in Adam Sandler’s movie scam “jack and jill”
Yeah Kurt was awesome as Snake. You need a chocolate infusion.
Sorry to keep dominating this thread, but did any of you see The Tudors on Showtime? What did you think of their Henry VIII? Small, dark-complected, handsome guy. Really? They would have been more historically accurate if they had switched the actor for Henry VIII with the one that played the Duke of Buckingham.
Kevin Costner as Robin Hood- terrible.
Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.
Katherine Heigl in almost every big-screen movie she’s ever taken on.
Jessica Alba in Spy Kids.
Val Kilmer as Batman.
Kate Hudson in everything
@Aesthetic_Mess Yes, Val Kilmer doesn’t a batman make. You know who would make a really good batman – Mitt Romney!
No political slur here – he just looks like superman to me.
the only way romney would fight criminals (which in itself is a stretch because he is more likely to ally himself with the scum) is by buying up the crims’ business and fire all the workers.
@ragingloli Ha-ha! You can insult Romney all you want – he’s no friend of mine! When I say he looks like Superman, looks is where the comparison ends. He just has that plastic, frozen-smile, superman – Ken-doll look to me.
Halle Berry as Catwoman
Anne Hathaway in Bride Wars Haven’t seen it, just know it was bad.
@Hain_roo LOL! What a striking resemblance! no sarcasm
Also,
Steve Carell & Paul Rudd in Dinner for Schmucks. Bad roles for both of them.
Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, and Paul Rudd in How Do You Know?
@Hain_roo Oh my heck!! I thought I was the only one in the country that saw a resemblance between Romney and Ken. Glad to see that someone agrees with me.
@Adirondackwannabe Sorry babe. I just thought his acting, and all those intense, “I’m about to eat your face” looks were kinda dumb. I feel the same about his acting in that movie, that other people feel about the acting in Twilight, LOL.
I don’t think the current James Bond, Daniel Craig, is all that.
I much preferred Pierce Brosnan.
@WillWorkForChocolate From that angle, yeah I’ll agree with you. As a mad pissed off dickhead I thought he was on.
@MilkyWay Careful, I can still take a young whippersnapper like you.:)
OOPs
I need proof to believe your claims.
Pulls up a chair and a bowl of popcorn.
Diane Lane was horrible in the Perfect Storm, she couldn’t get farther from the Gloucester accent.
I like that he addressed himself as “young whippersnapper.” I lol’d. Really.
@MilkyWay I’m 6’1 and I have 40 or 50 pounds on you. I think it’d be no contest.
I know Tae Kwon Do…
And I plan on defeating you in other ways… mwahahaha :P
I have to run now, I’ll take you on tommorrow. Live in fear.:)
I’m sure she’s shaking in her boots…
She knows me too well. She knows I’d never hurt her.
Back to worst performances. Enough hijacking.
Chicken.
I eat chicken for dinner.
I’m having chicken tonight… just sayin’.
How about Roseanne Barr in anything she’s ever done? <shudder>
Dustin Hoffman in Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium.
@rebbel I don’t think Tom Cruise was in Gremlins.
Tom Hanks. Bruce Willis, and Morgan Freeman were all woefully miscast in Bonfire of the Vanities, Anthony Edwards was totally out of place in Top Gun, and though I love his work Phillip Seymour Hoffman was a nutty choice for Doubt. I also do not think Tom Cruise is well cast in the Mission Impossible series of films.
Mike Myers in Inglorious Basterds
Meryl Streep and Rosanne Barr in She Devil
John Travolta and Lily Tomlin in Moment by Moment.
Sharon Stone in Diabolique
Roger Moore as James Bond
John Wayne as Genguis Khan in The Conqueror
^^^
Noooo, I thought he was spot on! Really?
Samuel Jackson in the Star Wars prequels.
