Actors You Can't Stand

I can't stand sleazy attempts at "comedy" or slasher films, so actors who do such material on a regular basis are the most ignored by me.

Kim Raver (And looking her up, I just found out that they're bring her character back when 24 comes back, crap).
Dana Delany.

Tom Cruise, and pretty much any scientologist (though there are some I enjoy, that I found were scientologists, like Elizabeth Moss).

Jack Black is so annoying that I don't even need to list any others.

David Caruso - I'm not even talking about CSI Miami, just check him out in 'Session 9' (a horror film) blurting out the passionate line "f**k you!". Oh the fear you inspire, David!
John Ritter - I almost feel guilty mentioning him, since he passed away young through no fault of his own, but his entire manner - voice, delivery, etc. really gets on my nerves.

I do regonize a couple of the names mentioned in this thread but I don't even know who the majority of of them are. Besides, the fact that I am able to faintly recognize a name does not automatically mean I can remember what that person looks like. My knowledge limits itself to the actors that practically everyone on the globe knows and they are usually not my favorites.
If I have any favorite actors that is.

Man, looking over this thread makes me seem a lot less picky than I thought I was, lol.

I think that most actors can be good in certain roles, but it becomes annoying to me when an actor is put into roles they aren't suited for.
Tom Cruise is a good example. I actually don't mind him when he's playnig a jerk and/or villain character (I thought he was great in Rain Man in particular), but he's proven that he can't play any sort of good guy or hero role decently if his life depended on it.
Same pretty much goes for Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Leonardo DiCaprio. They're not necessarily bad in every role they've ever played, but they got too popular and get put into roles they're not suited for based on their name recognition alone. I am sort of interested to see Angelina play the evil queen in the upcoming Malificent though, I'm not really sure what to expect from her in that.
There are very few actors to me that seem genuinely bad at acting altogether... though I will say I think Kristen Stewart and Megan Fox may be two exceptions that do fit that bill.

I used to be Sheldon, when I was younger. Than I learned how to pass for human.

Tom Cruise (plays every character role he gets as that of an a**hole. O_o)
In earlier times: Leonardo di Caprio. (acted very arrogant in earlier films, got better in newer films.)
That blond woman from the friends series.
Angelina Jolie (seems unable to look normal)

And someone really needs to tell me, what bowing upon o motor cycle has to do with good acting. (Yop, looking at you Megan Fox. ^^)

Tom Welling.

Jim Parsons.

Who I can't stand...

Julie Andrews. Most bloody irritating woman!

Doris Day in Calamity Jane. She is also bloody irritating, but just in that.

I really don't like to watch most comedic actors. Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller and the like.

The only person I can't stand in Hollywood is Seth Macfarlane. I mean sure Family Guy started off as an actual funny show back in the day, but all his other shows like American Dad and The Cleveland Show suck. Family Guy is starting to suck now too, and instead of trying to be funny and come up with clever jokes all he does is preach about his liberal agenda on all his shows. Plus the guy seriously thinks he's a genius when in reality he's just a showboating pothead with a lot of pothead fans who are mostly too young to understand all the 80's references in his shows but still think he's hilarious.
