10 Actors Who Visibly Hated These Movie Roles

8. Harrison Ford - Ender's Game

Harrison Ford has a bit of a reputation for being a curmudgeon, but when the guy cares about a movie, you can really tell - case in point, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and especially Blade Runner 2049.

And though Ford only appears in roughly one film a year these days, the majority of his recent performances generally feature the actor in various degrees of anguish at having been dragged onto a film set, courtesy of a dump truck full of money.

No recent example is more egregious than Ender's Game, an honestly-not-bad sci-fi romp which casts Ford as the stern Colonel Hyrum Graff.

On paper it seems like a fine enough role for Ford's grumpy proclivities, and yet, he spends the entirety of his time in the movie looking desperate for a nap.

Ford maintains a flat monotone for basically the entire movie, and just looks like he'd rather be anywhere else but a film set.

You could argue that he's simply trying to embody Graff's emotional reserve from the source material, but it's far easier to believe that the guy just doesn't really care much for acting anymore, and simply took the part to buy himself a new plane or something.
