Movies series ruined by certain actors.

Fast & Furious, to me, after #4, was ruined by adding Dwayne Johnson as Hobbs, which crippled that series. The series was always over the top, but his inclusion as the FBI superagent was like adding a cartoon character to the series. His constant camera preening, superficial machismo and lack of range in acting, to me, was bad casting. It gave a more comical approach to the script instead of bringing in someone that could have provided a darker, more serious tone. Maybe someone like Idris Elba or Karl Urban.

Sounds like he fits in perfect.

I can't stand him. No talent at all, yet he has a career.
But I'll go with Danielle Radcliff in Harry Potter.

If it wasn't for The Rock the F&F franchise would have ended long ago. Him and Jason Statham brought fresh blood into the F&F movies and are the reason it's still going.

Not a movie series, but the character Nellie Bertram was awful on The Office. She is one of the reasons I rarely watch the post-Michael Scott seasons.

This is an insane take. 5 and 6 are easily the best. And the Rock didn't make the writers turn Vin Diesel into a super human.

All of the first 4, but especially 2 and 3, were heavy on the comical approach.

They pretty well came pre-ruined but Kristen Stewart wasn't a highlight of the "Twilight" movies.

Out of all the things to criticize the rock for and all the franchises he would frick up if added to them, FF isnt one.

Not sure how the answer isn't Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dark Knight

I know I'm in the minority but I didn't mind Nellie but I couldn't stand Andy. Even now watching reruns on Comedy Central every time he starts singing or playing his shitty music I mute it until he's done

Yeah. He started off as an unlivable but a decent character but by the end he may have been one of the worst characters from any popular TV show ever. What the writers did to him was just awful.

He was good in small doses, once his role was expanded he was insufferable.

I don’t think the Rock is that bad of an actor. This was the series that started with Vin Diesel.
