A group of buddies and I were talking yesterday at a pub (whilst enjoying a nice cold pint) and came across a VERY interesting/challenging topic. We were looking to name an actor, relatively established, that has NEVER been in a bad movie. This is a lot harder than one might think.

Some guidelines to help weed out many answers:

- There's no set "rule" as to what makes an "established" actor, but he would at the very least have to be in at least 3 movies with big enough roles in each.
- A "bad" movie is thus defined as one where it is unarguably horrible, just downright terrible. Movies that are "not so bad, but definitely not good" do not count. It has to be terrible. Examples: Men in Black 2, Cabin Boy, Deep Impact, any Disney movie.
- We are only considering male actors here. Including females opens up too many other issues.

Can you think of anyone?

Al Pacino :D (I'm sure he's been in many more movies than I've seen him in, but I think his films are great)

Well, this is way too subjective. For instance, I didn't think MIB II was a definitively terrible movie. I actually kinda liked it.

Edward Norton. I have never seen him in a bad movie, he actually saved MANY movies he was in.

Check IMDB. Kevin Spacey was in a movie called "Rocket Gladiator" I highly doubt that was a good film.

Tom Hanks?

Yeah, Splash was a bit cheesy but it was still funny...and it was early on for him.

Nope. We thought of all these guys.

Denzel - Virtuosity
Spacey - KPAX
Samuel L Jackson - Unbreakable.

All 3 are out.

You thought KPAX was terrible? It wasn't great, but it wasn't anywhere near Cabin Boy bad.
