If I am really honest, there are actors I really have a hard time stomaching. A lot of this has to do with personal preferences...certain physical qualities that each of us finds undesirable (ears too big, plucked eyebrows, whatever). This is an essentially anonymous forum, so I'm interested in what other members' real feelings are about this.
For example: I can't stomach Shia LeBeouf. Can't really account for it, just can't stand him. He seems to be a really arrogant prick in real life, but even on screen, I find his presence brings CRYSTAL SKULL down a notch. I don't watch Michael Bay movies, but can only assume he is the same in THE TRANSFORMERS.
I have zero tolerance for Norma Shearer. Just a personal thing, I guess, but I just can't stand her, and own no movies that include her (in a collection of nearly 4,000 movies).
Leslie Howard. Just find him insufferable. I own GONE WITH THE WIND, and try to ignore him . I would never own his version of ROMEO AND JULIET (co-starring the above-mentioned Norma Shearer), as both actors are too old for their parts, and I can't stand them anyway. I'd like to own PYGMALION, but the Howard casting holds me back.
Has anyone else these (probably silly) prejudices against certain actors?
