10 Most Unlikeable Horror Movie Heroes
9. Andy Nicholas - Jaws 2
This one feels a smidge harsh, with Andy Nicholas having such a small role in Jaws 2 and taking up somewhat of a leadership role when he and his pals are attacked by the film's great white shark. In fact, Andy takes a particularly hands-on role in making sure that young Sean Brody is safe and comforted amidst all this chaos.
The problem is, actor Gary Springer is a little too cheesy and over-the-top in his performance as Andy, making any scene he's in feel a little forced and insincere. While you don't necessarily want Andy to become shark chow, it's tough not too feel a sense of cringe every time he's on-screen.
Given how his actions and intentions on display in Jaws 2 should actually make him likeable, it really does feel tough to include Andy Nicholas here. But the delivery of those actions and intentions? Yeah, they have the opposite effect, turning the audience off the character.
Thankfully, Gary Springer opted to eventually move into the publicist side of the entertainment industry, with him having only a handful of roles after that Jaws 2 outing.
