10 Terrible Movie Stars Who Just Can't Act At All

1. Keanu Reeves

Who else would top this list? Keanu Reeves is synonymous with bad acting but still we keep on forgiving him for it, and it's all largely down to his first major role as Ted in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Somehow, Reeves has landed major roles in movies such as Point Break, Dracula, Speed, The Devil's Advocate, The Matrix and A Scanner Darkly. Could these films have been a little bit better with someone else in the starring role? Perhaps, but would they really have as much replay value? Sure re-watching one of your favorite movies is usually a good time but when it comes to re-watching one of your favorite movies starring Keanu Reeves it's absolutely hilarious! This guy could make a movie about genocide in to a comedy without even trying, because his USP is his emotional detachment. So how has Keanu managed to get work all this time? Probably because the cast and crew are taking bets on whether or not they will hear him say "Whoa" and they are getting filthy rich in the process. Reeves has no real acting charm - it's actually more like the opposite of that - and the prospect of him now moving into directing, to tell other talents how to act, is just mind-boggling. But then Ben Affleck has proved himself to be an exceptional director, so you never can tell. There are far too many awesomely bad actors in Hollywood to name them all. Feel free to list your favorites in the comments.

I could talk your ear off all day about my vast (albeit completely useless) knowledge of pro-wrestling and then argue with you how the characters in LOST were more important than the plot itself.
