I now refuse to watch a film if it has a certain actor in it, as I find their lack of ability makes it un-watchable.

Top of my list by a mile, is Sean Connery. Although he has a certain prescence, I cannot see any talent there at all. More controversial possibly, is Al Pacino.

In every film that I've seen him in, I can almost hear him thinking, now I do this look, or stand like this, etc.

As Spencer Tracy was supposed to have replied when asked for any tips on acting, "never let the audiance catch you doing it."

Anyone else got any recommendations for the list?

Thanks for the reminder! Hugh Grant! Just being himself, as far as I can tell.

Bill Nighy - Just irritates the hell out of me. Seems to be one of those wheeled out popular at the moment actors.
Bit like doing a historic film? Phone Maggie Smith.

Forgot Larry Lamb - Always looks lost and overawed by everything as if he should not be there. Or amazed how he has got away with it for so long.

Yep, David Caruso ( if I repeat everything, it'll sound dramatic..)
Ben Affleck, I'd actually forgotten that he existed! Will Smith, totally over-rated.
