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

Any fans of the hit WB show Supernatural - who tend to be more rabid than most - are already lighting their torches and searching for their autographed pitchforks at the mere mention of one of the Winchester brothers on this list.

But this isn't about his acting on Supernatural... even if his performance as Sam Winchester could be best described as "shaky." No, Padalecki endeared himself just fine to fans of WB's programming block (including his breakout role of teenage heartthrob Dean on Gilmore Girls).

It's his rare venture into feature-length films that earns him a spot on this list. Whether he's showing up for just a couple of scenes (Flight of the Phoenix) or carrying the load (the Friday the 13th remake), Padalecki exudes all the naturalness of a petrified log. You could spray-paint a mop into a brunette and swap it out with Padalecki mid-scene, and not even his parents would notice.

He's given equally stilted performances in soulless horror movies and super-cheesy family films alike. And every time, the movie just becomes another exhibit in the people's evidence that Padalecki needs to stick to the small screen.
