Subject: Most Hated 80s Actor/Actress

What actor or actress of the 80s makes you cringe whenever you see them?

Subject: Re: Most Hated 80s Actor/Actress

Written By: pell on 10/20/02 at 02:42 p.m.

If I can expand it beyond actors to TV personalities, I still can't stand Geraldo Rivera.

Strictly actors, (I can't remember if this is very late 80s or early 90s) Tori Spelling's acting makes me cringe every time I see her.

I'm sure there are others, I just can't think of them right now.

I totally agree!  She is definitely in my Top 5 WORST actors/actresses of All-Time.  No talent whatsoever.

Corey Feldman?  What about Goonies?  He was funny in that.  

And Andrew Mcarthy, I thought he was good in Mannequin(pardon my spelling).

The infamous (in this forum anyway  ;D ) Sarah-Jessica Parker  :P  What did Mathew Broderick see in her? ? ?

Molly Ringwald I didn't think was the greatest or the best looking either. I like the movies she was part of because of all the other elements and mostly nostalgic reasons.

I never liked any of the Baldwins.

Mickey Rourke

That's it for now.

I disliked (as opposed to hate) Seagal, Stallone, Loni Anderson, Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett (although she's more 70s), and Molly Ringworm (sorry Ringwald fans).
I also dispised Cher whether she was singing or acting. :-X

I actually thought Stallone did a very fine job in his movie "Rocky".

Schwarzenegger's main issue, IMO, is his accent. His dialogue never flows smoothly. It cannot be helped. His accent's very difficult to mask and makes him sound almost robotic (which didn't hurt in making him an excellent Terminator ;D). He's been a success all the same. Besides, he put out some excellent action flicks where the action more than made-up for the less-than-perfect acting.

I definitely agree on Shannen Doherty. She's just a spoiled brat with a horrid attitude.

The only movie I thought Cher did a decent acting job was "Moonstruck". The movie wasn't half bad either.

I agree with you on Sylvester Stallone. I liked Stallone a lot when I was growing up, because he was a sort of macho role model that I identified with. I suspect that he was doing very little acting, or if so, he was limited to one role in all his films.

I did like Shannon Doherty in the TV show "Our House" but I haven't like her much in anything else since.

Michale Pare was horrid, but was in some decent films he couldn't totally ruin.  Eddie and the Cruisers being one.
Ally Shedy was bad, and definatley put the two Coreys at the top of the list.  
One other great movie Cher did was Mask, about a mom and her son who was born with Elephant Man syndrome. Good movie to rent if you haven't seen it.

Steven Seagal is not much of an actor, but at least he's an actual martial artist.  Jean-Claude Van Damme doesn't even have that, he's made a career out of passing ballet moves as actual fighting.

I'm going to have to say Crispin Glover. In case no one remembers him, he's the guy who played Marty McFly's nerdy father in Back To The Future, when Marty goes back in time to the 50's and his parents were still in school. I have an episode of Late Night With David Letterman from 1985 on videotape (BETA!) with Crispin as a guest and he had hair down to his shoulders in a bob style, and striped trousers that looked like something out of the 70's (and they probably were). How he acted on the show is indescribable. He just went all psycho. I've disliked him ever since.

I wholeheartedly agree.  No need to comment on Tori but at least Nell could sing.  Julia Roberts is a horror show!  Highly overrated.  And that J. Lo creature.   :(Yuck.  I know she's not of the 80's but they hype her like they hyped Julia.  Maybe if I speak up now, in 20 years we can all say J. Lo who?  Thanks for letting me vent.

I totally agree with this part above.

She's aged badly too over the years and her latest plastic surgery was a horrendous disaster making her have even more of a "joker" smile. There's even an article featured in the most recent "People" magazine.

Another thing is how awful her hair looks. In the last few years she's had this uneven, layered shag that looks unkept. This style does not complement her in the least bit. A more femenine look would suit her best.

I liked a couple of the movies she's done, but not because she added anything to them. In fact, I thought she was miscast and another actress would have done better. For example, the last movie I saw in which she played was "Kate & Leopold" with Hugh Jackman. The movie was very good! Hugh Jackman (of X-Men-Wolverine-fame) and the supporting cast made the movie a joy to watch, in my opinion. So much so, I even bought the darned thing despite the fact that I don't like Ryan in her role. LOL!
