Tim Curry.
And before you tell me he was in some notoriously shit movies, no they weren’t, Tim Curry was in those movies, so they’re great movies.
LOL, yup, this.
Viggo Mortensen
Gene Hackman had a pretty good run
THE Harold Zoid!
Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.
Nine was poorly reviewed by critics and audiences.
But otherwise his choices have been solid.
Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.
Then Richard Pryor.
🎶 Richard Pryor… didn’t have to catch on fire 🎵

Possibly the only proper answer if we put a minimum on the number of films required to be considered.
I was going to say “OJ Simpson”, knowing he was in The Naked Gun. I figured he got the part because of his notority as a football player, and figured it was his only film.
Turns out he’s been acting since at least the mid 70s. He’s been in lile 15 movies. Which is kind of weird, knowing what he did later.
So, I guess I can’t say O.J Simpson…
Were they bad, though?
Yes
Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson … how can you go wrong!?
I’ve never heard of any of them besides the naked gun movies.
So probably.
nvm
Christopher Walken?
A View to a Kill is one of the worst bond movies
A shame too because it was such a waste to use Walken and Duran Duran in such a crappy movie.
Biloxi Blues, baby.
“You would need two promotions to get to be an asshole.”
2 people I know watched Mouse Hunt for the first time this month and both hated it. Not really his movie though, I guess
Bela Lugosi
I heard from Bauhaus that he’s dead.
Undead! Undead! Undead!

Plan 9 from Outer Space!
Dubbed the worst film ever made. To be fair to Bela Lugosi, he had no choice in the matter as he appeared in the film posthumously.
Dubbed the worst film ever made.
hey no fair. being tricked as an art student into watching that is a rite of passage
I’m not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also never watched the MI franchise, but otherwise he knows how to pick good scripts… Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Tropic Thunder, Minority Report, Top Gun, Rain man, Edge of Tomorrow, The Firm. There are still a bunch I never saw so there may be some rotten tomatoes in the basket
Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.
But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven’t seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.
Don’t forget The Mummy remake, it was so bad they cancelled the Dark Universe because of it.
““Kurtzman called the experience “brutal” and described The Mummy as “probably the biggest failure” of his life.””
Ah, I’ve even seen that one! Good call
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been
Hollywood lore on YouTube hasn’t done a video on him yet.
I like pretty much anything Fred Ward was in. Remo Williams will never die
Miami Blues was such a treat.
James Dean. Credited in only 3 films (appeared in a few more as an extra):
- East of Eden
- Rebel Without a Cause
- Giant
All 3 are above average on IMDb (> 7).
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.
Jeff Stryker.
