I don't know if anyone else has actors they absolutely can't stand.
Actors that annoy me the most are: Ben Stiller, Adams Sandler, Owen Wilson.
Favorite actors: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Daniel Craig, Alexander Godunov, Chirstopher Lloyd
I also love Anderson Cooper, but he's not an actor.
I think my favorite actor is Tom Hanks. He seems to play any part perfectly and totally believably. Some actors, like the ones that annoy you, seem like the same character no matter what part they are playing.
Sapere Aude
Favourites Sam Elliott, Kim Coates, Tommy Flanagan, Ray Winstone
Least favourite Nicholas Cage

That's a good observation about the actors that annoy me. I also like Tom Hanks. He's a good actor too.
Favourite- Tom Hanks (for the same reason); Simon Pegg; Ellen Page; Alexander Skarsgaard (handsome as hell); Christian Bale; Maggie Smith; Olivia Coleman
Least favourite- Adam Sandler; Nicholas Cage; Jonas Hill (I don't get the hype, he plays the same crude character in every film); Mark Wahlberg; Johnny Depp (he was great in his earlier roles but seems to now just place the same strange character in every film, he seems to have given up)
Favorites: Mark Rylance and Helen Mirren
Unfavorite: Rowan Atkinson -- fingernails on a blackboard!

Forgot Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep for my favourite actors list :o.
Tysillo- how can you dislike Rowan Atkinson. Blackadder is one of the funniest tv shows ever made :)
Blackadder I can deal with, and it is funny at times, but I guess it's worn thin for me.
Mr. Bean... I'd rather be locked in a small room with Donald Trump than watch that. Well, OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration.... but not that much.

BIG YES to Meryl Streep, though!! I was thinking earlier that I should've included her.

It's off topic, but I like that painting. Is it an Edgar Degas?

You were very close. It's one of my favorites by the impressionists, Renoir's "Moulin de la Galette."

He's another one of my favorite painters, Renoir! Good taste.
