10 Actors Whose Credibility Suffered The Most In 2013

2. Adrien Brody

inappropriate-comedy-trailer What the f*ck? Like, seriously: what the f*ck? You know something has gone terribly wrong in the life of a famous actor when you, a mere peasant, get the urge to take them out for a beer and ask questions like: "So what happened, buddy? Is everything okay with you? You can talk to me." Adrien Brody won an Oscar for Best Actor at just 29, the youngest male to ever do so, and now he's... making movies with Lindsay Lohan? You have to be kidding, right? And Rob Schneider? I'm not saying that Adrien has no right to sign on to a sketch comedy movie directed by the guy who hosts the "ShamWow!" commercials, but... well, I guess I am saying that. Dude, you were The Pianist. Now you're starring in a feature that makes Movie 43 look like a treat? Granted, Brody hasn't felt like a constant cinematic presence for a while, but this is the icing on the cake. And though I've described this mess as icing, which is mostly delicious, what's happened here really isn't delicious at all: it's sad. It's going to be hard to take him seriously after InAPPropriate Comedy. Seriously, that's what it's called. You genuinely can't make this stuff up, can you?
