Nah, I've read it elsewhere. That's the first place I found to link to. Funny enough, Wikipedia says the same thing.
Here's an interesting interview/story about Madsen that tells of how displeased Tarantino was with him for not playing Vincent (ie not casting him in any movies for 12 years) - http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2004/apr/18/features.magazine

I was at the local Blockbuster the other day - going out of business sale. All the DVD's were $1.99. Picked up a pile of them. Several times, I picked up a DVD, saw something like "starring Ice Cube" and I immediately put it back.

Aww man I'm watching the Jennifer Aniston all day marathon on Lifetime right now. I like her. Gotta at least like her in Along came polly. That movie is hilarious.

Yes sarcasm, but I listed his good movies. Anything else he's been in is complete shit.
I almost want to stab whoever said Johnny Depp. Go watch the bestest movie ever (Transformers or Darknight or X-Men, or whatever absurd Baysplosion movie you think is the cat's ass) and play with your LEGOs or something.

Hilary Swank. I don't know about everyone saying she is hot, but her looks just creep me the fuck out!

Another vote for Travolta. I will not watch a movie if he's in it, because I know both it and he will be terribad.
I agree with Michael Cera - I thought he was perfect for his role in Superbad. Then I saw him in Juno and thought, "Wow, he played the exact same character." Then I saw him in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, a movie I facepalmed my way through where he - surprise, surprise - played the same bloody character. Only problem being Juno and Superbad were about 9000 times more enjoyable than Nick and Norah.
Then I saw the first three seasons of Arrested Development (one of the best things evar!) and realized that's where he started and he played that character for three years. And that's when I realized it's true what they say about (most) TV actors - one hit show and you are typecast for life.
I wouldn't go as far to say I hate Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller but I only watch their movies if they were exceptionally well received by critics and/or fans. (Click, Funny People, Tropic Thunder, Zoolander etc.) And yes, I've felt the same way about Jim Carrey since he made Bruce Almighty.
Not a fan of Orlando Bloom either. I like some of his movies but he has little-to-nothing to do with the enjoyability. Man lacks presence. Some actors (like J.K. Simmons) make their presence felt even with 5 minutes of screen time in a large ensemble cast or a brief cameo; Bloom leaves no impression even when he's on the screen for 90% of the runtime.
Some that I don't agree with:
Tom Cruise is a good actor. And he works in a lot of different genres: Jerry Maguire (romance-drama-comedy), Vanilla Sky (drama-thriller), Tropic Thunder (comedy), Magnolia (serious film is serious), Minority Report (sci-fi action) etc.
Jack Black definitely lacks range but the role that he does play - obnoxious, loud, crass but likable guy - is usually well executed. Sure, I can see how some might find him irritating but he's nowhere close to Pauly Shore, Will Ferrel or some other obnoxious (supposed) funny men.
And what's with the hate on Dakota Fanning? Can't really say I've seen some of her recent work but she was good in every movie she made as a little girl. Had pretty much the whole world convinced she would win half-a-dozen or so Oscars by the time
she grew up and took on more grown-up roles.
Seth Rogen I freaking love. I will watch any movie of his.
I actively avoid movies with teen popstars-turned-actors and rappers-turned-actors (although I always love the occasional Snoop Dogg cameo).

Can't believe how many say they hate Tom Cruise as an Actor. He's a great Actor, but a Fail as a Human Being. I don't care about the Personal Life of those giving me food at a good restaurant, neither do I care(as far as whether I'll watch or not anyway) about the personal life of those Acting in Movies.
My vote goes to Van Damme. He's not the only Action type who has poor Acting abilities, but at least Segal and Ahnold were in half decent Written/Directed movies unlike Van Damme's repertoire of Suck.

Wholeheartedly agree. She should choose more suitable role in movies...such as a centaur or something else like that.

Only Con Air, The Rock, and Leaving Las Vegas were good. Everything he's done has been terrible. I can't stand him.
