For future reference, anyone who might happen to say Adam Sandler will be automatically wrong.

Does Keanu Reeves count? I always feel like he's playing Keanu Reeves instead of the character

All that said, John Wick is fucking amazing

Nicolas Cage. But I'm not sure if I can call him terrible. I just know when he's cast in a film, he's going to overact the shit out of it which means I'm likely going to love it.
I opened this thread just to complain at the first mention of Cage.

Lots of bad answers in general in these kinds of threads.

EDIT: Also, y'all need to see to see the smaller and more interesting Keanu Reeves movies where he isn't being paid for his image/name. He's not a tour de force or anything, but he's pretty good in A Scanner Darkly, My Own Private Idaho, Thumbsucker, River's Edge, etc.

Chris Klein. The funny thing is I became a fan when I was a kid and was still watching his movies in French, so I didn't know he was a bad actor because his French voice was perfectly fine. But I spent so long liking him and he seems like such a nice guy that I can't help but want to see him in more stuff.

Lovably dorky in this terribly failed audition tape.

I don't think Dave Bautista is a good actor but I like watching him in his roles.
On the contrary, I think he's convincing and effective in Blade Runner 2049 and Hotel Artemis.

Compare him to someone like Ronda Rousey, who is so stilited in all of her roles. He has limited range, but he's not a bad actor.

Nicolas Cage.

I still not convinced he knows how to act. But he sure is funny to watch.

There's some odd definitions of terrible actors in here. I'd say that Keanu Reeves and Nicolas Cage have chosen some terrible roles but it's not hard to point to films where they've been terrific.

I will go to my grave saying that Keanu Reeves is one of the most under-rated actors out there!

I still cannot fathom that they cast him as Scott Pilgrim.

I always felt Brad Pitt comes across very self-conscious and is not that great of an actor. Still love almost everything he's in.

william shatner. i don't know if its fair to call him terrible, but his stylistic choices when playing captain kirk made for some awkward performances. at the same time, i feel kirk would be less interesting without shatner's idiosyncrasies. he'd certainly be less fun to watch.

Isiah Whitlock Junior. I've seen him in so many different things - from Da 5 Bloods to Pete's Dragon at opposite ends of the film spectrum - and he plays the same character in all of them. I'm not even sure he's actually acting.

I love him though. He's obviously famous for a certain catchphrase, but it generally just makes me happy to see him pop up in any film or TV show, because he's consistently entertaining and captivating in that very narrow mould. I like to pretend his different roles are all parts of the Whitlock cinematic universe.

EDIT: Dave Bautista is legitimately talented. He doesn't belong in here.

Some one who could believably be a womanizer and the coolest dude around according to his friends.

Aaron Taylior Johnson, for example.
Even Kieran Culkin who is in the same movie.
Aaron wouldn't work, he is way too sexy, which scott isn't in the slightliest

And i dont know about Colkin, since he just started acting again

Definitely Keanu. It pains me to admit it because I love the guy, but he's not a good actor.

Lorenzo Llamas. He sucks so bad he's fun to watch. He had a tv series where he was a loner on a Harley Davidson, going around helping people. I wish I could remember the name of the series. It was so cheesy that it was fun to watch.

Keanu Reeves.

His constant facial expression in the new Bill and Ted trailer was priceless. Cool guy, but zero charisma.

Ugh, I have to say it - Emilia Clarke.

She's such a lovely person in real life, but that Terminator movie, uh oh.
