8 Famous Actors Who Have Literally Never Been Good In A Movie

4. Pauly Shore

Pauly Shore is a rarity on this list, because in addition to never giving a good performance ever, he's also not even appeared in a single critically acclaimed feature film.

Shore's followed the trajectory of countless successful stand-up comedians transitioning into film, and though Hollywood desperately tried to make him happen in the early-to-mid 1990s, neither critics nor audiences were particularly fussed with his obnoxious, grating brand of physical comedy.

Encino Man has its fans, sure, but that's largely in spite of Shore's presence and entirely down to Brendan Fraser's entertaining performance. The likes of In the Army Now, Jury Duty and Bio-Dome, meanwhile, are absolutely insufferable.

Shore's movie career tanked by the late 90s, and his sporadic film appearances since have either been critically panned or not even screened by the press. He appears to have begrudgingly accepted defeat, but his commitment to turning in universally awful performances over the years is almost impressive in its uniformity.
