Really?

Do you think Robert Duvall did a better job at R.E. Lee in Gods and Generals?

That kid (and movie) was so bad that it essentially made him quit acting and hate Star Wars.

6 Insane Reasons Formerly Famous People Dropped Off the Map

quote:

Lloyd's schoolmates bullied him mercilessly, treating him to an endless barrage of obnoxious light saber "whoosh" sounds whenever he entered the room (even though he never actually used a light saber -- kids are not only cruel, but bad with fact checking). As the years wore on and more bad prequels followed (which he had nothing to do with), the backlash only got worse. Finally, Lloyd snapped, destroying every piece of Star Wars memorabilia he owned. Lloyd appeared in one more film and then gave up acting for good.

He also gave up being a happy, nice person. He blames the role for ruining his life, despises video cameras, and bristles with barely contained rage whenever somebody even mentions Star Wars. Even when he's at a sci-fi convention full of, you know, Star Wars fans. Just plain don't talk to him; otherwise, this happens:

That kid in Dazed And Confused was probably the worst actor ever.

I beg to differ Giovanni Ribisi in Contraband was awful.

As has been mentioned, the clear winner is Hayden Christiansen.

He was cast to play probably one the top ten most iconic characters in the history of cinema and he shite the bed so badly that when everything is quiet, if you listen carefully, you can still hear it drip onto the floor all these years later.

I hate Keanu Reeves in Devil's Advocate, but I pretty much hate him in everything.

Dennis Quaid in Great Balls of Fire says hello, in fact I nominate that as worst played role in movie history. Just painful.

Some great ones. I think, considering the details:

1. Hayden Christiansen-huge role, big buildup and budget, lots to work with plot and line wise.
2. Sofia Coppola in GF3 - epic fail, but a lesser role and older flick.
3. Costner in Robin Hood. Some leeway because it's in that cheesy overdone 90s era, but still.

Mitch in Dazed was bad but it was a low budget movie with a cast of (then) nobodies. Much lower expectations than the others.

Halle Berry as Storm. Her acting in the X-Men movies screams "I'm only here for the paycheck".

Jennifer Garner as Electra. Probably the worst fit for a comic book character ever. Made worse by terrible writing and direction.

John Wayne in "The Conqueror" usually gets a mention when this topic comes up

Bosceaux beat me to it. Dennis Quaid's performance in Great Balls of Fire was awful. It was like somebody told him that Jerry Lee Lewis was a cartoon character.
