by bahamutwing | created - 08 Feb 2012 | updated - 08 Feb 2012 | PublicThis compiled list is not the worst actors, but a list of notable ones that you still see on the big screen today.
1. Paul Walker
Actor | The Fast and the Furious
Paul William Walker IV was born in Glendale, California. He grew up together with his brothers, Caleb and Cody, and sisters, Ashlie and Amie. Their parents, Paul William Walker III, a sewer contractor, and Cheryl (Crabtree) Walker, a model, separated around September 2004. His grandfather, William ...
His delivery on the original Fast and Furious was painful to watch. But what put's him on my list is his delivery in the latest Fast and Furious. I actually think it got worse.
2. Paul Rudd
Actor | Ant-Man
Paul Stephen Rudd was born in Passaic, New Jersey. His parents, Michael and Gloria, both from Jewish families, were born in the London area, U.K. He has one sister, who is three years younger than he is. Paul traveled with his family during his early years, because of his father's airline job at ...
If Mr. Rudd had only done a couple of movies with a couple of cameos he would be alright in my book. But the man is cast as lead and always plays the same character. A whiny, awkward burnt out hipster.
3. Hayden Christensen

Hayden Christensen was born April 19, 1981 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. His parents, Alie and David Christensen, are in the communications business. He is of Danish (father) and Swedish and Italian (mother) descent. Hayden grew up in Markham, Ontario, with siblings Kaylen, Hejsa, and ...

I will never forgive this man for Gerry.
5. Justin Long
Actor | Live Free or Die Hard
A likable, boyish-looking actor with thick eyebrows and a friendly smile, Justin Long is a native of Connecticut.
He was born and raised in Fairfield, the second of three sons. His father, R. James Long, is a Professor of Philosophy at Fairfield University, and his mother, Wendy Lesniak, is a former...
Justin and his one character persona. His phone sex scene in "Going the Distance" haunts me to this day.
6. Jesse Eisenberg
Actor | The Social Network
Curly haired and with a fast-talking voice, Jesse Eisenberg is a movie actor, known for his Academy Award nominated role as Mark Zuckerberg in the 2010 film The Social Network. He has also starred in the films The Squid and the Whale, Adventureland, The Education of Charlie Banks, 30 Minutes or ...
Jesse does a fast talking bit in every one of his movies. Ironically I usually enjoy the movies, just not him in them.
7. Jimmy Fallon
Writer | The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy Fallon was born in 1974 in Brooklyn, New York, to Gloria (Feeley) and Jimmy Fallon. He is of Irish, German, and Norwegian descent. He was raised in Saugerties, New York, which is in upstate New York. He has performed stand up, impressions and characters across the country, in some of the ...
I have yet to see talent from this guy. I've seen some decent impersonations, but still he seems to lack the creativity to do anything with them.
8. Martin Lawrence
Actor | Martin
Martin Fitzgerald Lawrence is an African-American comedian, producer, writer, director and actor. He is known for his roles in the Bad Boys trilogy, Martin, Def Comedy Jam, Big Momma's House, Open Season, House Party, Boomerang, Wild Hogs, What's Happening Now!!, Nothing to Lose, Life and Blue ...
I have to give Martin credit for having a lasting career without anything being groundbreaking. But Big Momma's? Come on Gina! That ain't right gurl!
9. Michael Cera
Actor | Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Canadian actor Michael Cera was born in Brampton, Ontario, to parents who worked for Xerox. His mother, Linda, who is from Quebec, has English, Irish, Scottish, and Dutch ancestry, and his father, Luigi Cera, is Italian (from Sicily). Michael is the middle child between two sisters.

I wonder how many directors cringe when he starts mumbling his lines, like he always does.
10. Jason Statham
Actor | Crank
Jason Statham was born in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, to Eileen (Yates), a dancer, and Barry Statham, a street merchant and lounge singer. He was a Diver on the British National Diving Team and finished twelfth in the World Championships in 1992. He has also been a fashion model, black market salesman ...
I enjoy some of his movies, but this man belongs on this list. I will never forget his performance in Jet Li's "The One".
11. Nicolas Cage
Actor | Face/Off
Nicolas Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola in Long Beach, California, the son of comparative literature professor August Coppola (whose brother is director Francis Ford Coppola) and dancer/choreographer Joy Vogelsang. He is of Italian (father) and Polish and German (mother) descent. Cage changed his...
I can't tell if this guy belongs on this list because I haven't even seen half of his movies. Unfortunately I don't have enough time in my life. But I will say ol Nick deserves a lot of credit for putting his name out there on various projects. Again.....and again....and again.....
