Jake Gyllenhaal In 'Prince of Persia'
"Prince" may be the best video game movie ever made, but Gyllenhaal (Bubble Boy!) just isn't believable as an epic hero. Bad extensions and muscles does not an action hero make. (Photo: Walt Disney)
Topher Grace In 'Spider-Man 3'
They cast the skinny doofus from "That 70's Show" as one of Spider-man's most formidable foes. Seeing Topher hiss his lines through sharp teeth and CGI alien skin was enough to take even the most dedicated fanboy out of the moment
Shia LaBeouf In 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'
Is Shia's Mutt Williams the Jar Jar Binks of the "Indiana Jones" series? We think so. There's no way Indy would spawn the kid from "Even Stevens
There is no doubt that ScarJo is pleasing to the eye, but you can hardly imagining her pouring her own cereal, let alone putting forth the energy to learn a fight sequence. This was one Black Widow that was all stunt double
He may have been "Stone Cold" in the WWE, but he was stone cold boring as an action star. Just about anyone can put on a mean face, but it takes more than that to sell a movie
An epic failure in casting. Berry was a hard sell as Storm in the "X-Men" series, but even more unbelievable as the sultry Catwoman. Sure, the writing and directing didn't help, but this was one de-clawed kitty
George Clooney and Alicia Silverstone In 'Batman & Robin'
This slide was originally intended to be dedicated solely to the disaster that was Clooney's Batman, until we saw this picture and realized that the girl from "Clueless" was an equally ridiculous choice.
Yeah, in retrospect, Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer seem like bizarre Batman choices too, but it was Clooney's uber-coy demeanor and seeming lack of physical prowess that takes the cake.
Martin Lawrence In 'Bad Boys'
Compared to co-star Will Smith, this funny man (depending on who you ask) looks like Steve Urkel. The combo of comedy and action seems to work for Lawrence (see: "Blue Streak") but he just can't pull off the straight-up macho man routine
Is this the biggest superhero miscasting ever? Only time will tell. To his credit, Affleck has pulled off action-related roles in the past ("Armageddon"), but something about his clean-cut looks and general lack of grit was entirely inappropriate for devil of Hell's Kitchen
For as charismatic as he was in the wrestling ring, Hogan brought the acting talent and personality of an oil ball to the big screen. From "Suburban Commando" to "Mr. Nanny," the Hulkster was wise to keep his day job.
Let's be honest: Chris Klein pretty much looks and acts (badly) like a dope in everything he does. When the best character you ever played was named Dusty Dinkleman, you know you've made some career mistakes. The Snuggle bear would have looked more fierce in either of these movies
Mr. T's distaste for the new 'A-Team' movie and one editor's opinion on the matter sparked heated debate among Comcast.net users.
According comcast.net entertainment harsh words DAMMIT!!!
The real heat should have been sparked by the casting of an acting-talent-less MMA fighter in the role that made Mr. T famous. Once you've heard any of Jackson's lamely delivered catchphrases ("I'm-a kill you, fool!"), you'll realize this isn't your older brother's B.A. And, surprisingly, that's not a good thing
As we first established with Martin Lawrence, comedians just don't transfer well to action films. Rob Schneider's 1993 turn as a surfing, fighting, fortune-telling ninja was just as ridiculous as it sounds. What if ... we still loved this movie? We kinda do. Shhh. Don't tell
Shaq In 'Steel'
The bigger they are, the harder the stink. Who would have thought that the biggest man in basketball would have been the biggest dud in cinema. Apparently, everyone but the producers of 'Steel.' Even action heroes need some acting abilities.
John Stamos In 'Born To Ride'
Have mercy! Please contain your laughter when considering that Uncle Jesse once played a tough-as-nails motorcycle gang leader tasked with leading a government-created hog unit into a European castle to rescue a nuclear scientist and his daughter.
Vanilla Ice In 'Cool As Ice'
Motorcycle-based films must be a magnet for bad casting. The proof continues with '90s rapper Vanilla Ice as a motorcycle-riding rapper (duh!) in this loose remake of "Rebel Without A Cause." If the cause was to look ridiculous, the mission was accomplished
There is no reason why we should have to explain why Jay Leno is the worst action star ever. In fact, he's proven that he deserves the title on two different occasions.
First, the goofy comedian starred as a cop opposite Mr. Miyagi in this all-too-racially-insensitive 1989 buddy film.
Then, in 1998, Leno teamed up with professional wrestler Diamond Dallas Page for the main event of the World Championship Wrestling pay-per-view event "Road Wild." At the time, the show was the least-bought wrestling pay-per-view of all time.
I'm sure he'd take it back if he could. Just like he did with the "The Tonight Show
Dakota Fanning In 'Push'
We saw this film specifically to see little Dakota Fanning wield weaponry. Unfortunately, the little string bean was more of a whiny emo than an action hero. To her credit, she does pull off the vampire role in "Twilight" quite convincingly.
They say I look like dis guy..But however Wood Harris is one my favorite actors before Avon Barksdale kingpin West Baltimore Boss...But Paid in Full(Ace boogie),Above The Rim(Motaw),Remember The Titans(Julius),and Hendrix the Showtime Series as my favorite muscian ever Jimi Hendrix..Highly underestimated as an African American Actor GIVE MY HOMIE MORE ROLES!!!
Don Cheadle his body of work definitely speaks for himself...Definitely in one my favorite films i seen from him Rosewood his smarts and whity way as Sylvester he outsmarted many folks in that movie..He seems like with Brooklyns Finest(Tango)and Ironman 2(Rhodey) definitely looks as if he has chance to step to the fore-front hes definitely long overdued jus peep his filmography very deep indeed
Offcourse why not if hes not in your top 5 than sumthin gotta be wrong witchu no need to explain this talented man!!!
History in its own Sidney Poitier made it so for Black Actors to be Black Actors...During riots and many wars this man made it so for us to laugh,cry,and be hopeful...Oscar award winning just flat-out the man
Last but not least Omar Epps definitely from Juice(Q) my man was rockin dem 1's and 2's just one my all-time favorite movies...Whether it was The Program(Darnell Jefferson),Higher Learning(Malik Williams,Major League II(Willie Mays Hayes),In Too Deep(J Reid),The Wood(Mike)or Love and Basketball as (Quincy)..I always fucked with homie even as Dr.Eric Forman on the Fox tv show hit House...
