Jack Nicholson... now I'm ready to receive hate from everybody...
Although I like his character very much, we must admit that he never [b]acts but instead impersonates himself over and over again... which is not bad at all, but not acting

๐ The best actors, then, pick roles that they can play without effort and make their own.
(And why has no-one brought up BigOil's hand-puppet, George Dubbya? ๐๐๐๐๐ - without a doubt that guy is one seriously bad actor both on and off the stage. Right up there with Arnie!)

Tom Cruise.
Orlando Bloom.
Brad Pitt.
All actors who get work because they're good looking.
Cruise was once worse (good in Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut)
Orlando Bloom: Crap. Can't act, he only marginally made it as an expressionless elf. Not that hard to be unexpressive, I guess.
My pet peeves:
Julia Roberts
Tom Hanks
