Bloody hell ... and I'm still trying to get over the death of River Phoenix. The Hollywood death machine claims another victim. Why doesn't it ever claim the really crappy ones ... especially Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers?? (mentioning only two worthless assholes).

Wait, those two have huge fan bases still. Let's put it in proper perspective, shall we?

Corey Feldman & Corey Haim are not only still alive but got another shot at a TV show! Really, God? Really, Satan? Neither of you can find room in your respective rest homes for these two?

Well yeah there are worse I suppose than the two i mentioned (is that really possible?? :D) ... they were just off the top of my head ... but heavens to betsy what a list of nonentities we could make if we all got our heads together.

And now I shall go off to work on my selective neutron bomb ... somebody's got to ... just to save the human race from more embarrassment.

p.s. i would have mentioned some New Zealand actors since they are particularly awful ... but i can't think of any that anyone, yes even me, remembers the name of :P

p.p.s ... Sam Neill ... damn ... he's ok ... bit dull though ... Russell Crowe ... he's ... RussellCrowe-y ... Nyree Dawn Porter ... she's a bit too obscure nowadays, and that awful awful girl who was in Whale Rider ... somebody please put speed or something in her next cuppa tea ... might wake the damn thing up.

Two words: Yahoo Serious.

Wahhh haaa haaa haa ... blimey there's a blast from the past (he's known around these parts as Yahoo "fcking" Serious :D). Wow he was baad.

But is there anyone more worthless on the world stage than Rob Schneider

Oof...that hurt. I don't know. Of the marketable people (I mean if we're just going for crap, carrot Top, obviously) but of the marketable people...Adam Sandler, maybe? Although he can act if he tries. Rob Schneider might be it!

Apparently Mr Sandler was quite good in a film once. I think it was "Punch-Drunk Love" ... so there may still be some hope left in him somewhere ... though its probably somewhere in the lower bowel region :D

At this moment though Rob Schneider does seem to be the lowest of the low ... I cannot think (at this moment) of someone worse ... though give me time, there's bound to be someone worse out there, surely??? :P (please tell me there isn't :P)
 
This is just awful. He was supposed to appear in the third Batman film as well and now I just cannot imagine someone else having to step into the role after what he has done.

For all the levity in this thread, it is still a pretty shocking and horrifying thing to find someone really still starting out on his film career die at such a young age. Quite awful really.

If I'm not mistaken filming has already finished for that batman movie "The Dark Night"...the trailer is pretty cool, though I'm not a fan of batman. So we'll all still see Heath act one last time when the movie comes out this summer.

I only saw him in Brokeback Mountain and The Brothers Grimm but I really liked him. I tend to think accidents and foul play are worse than suicide because in suicide, at least, you intend to lose your life. If this was an accident it's a horrible thing
 
He finished all of his work for "The Dark Knight" which is the second Christopher Nolan Batman film, but The Joker is supposed to appear in the third Christopher Nolan Batman film as well and nothing has been shot for that one yet.

He was also in the middle of filming a movie for Terry Gilliam. This would now be the second film of Gilliam's where the lead actor died during production. No word yet on whether that film will recast or be shelved.

I just remembered something. Martin Lawrence. That is all.

Jeremy, I'm surprised you didn't think of...

Pauly Shore.

That is a hard one to beat!

How about Steve Guttenberg or Tom Green. If these two and Pauly Shore every made a movie I think the universe might explode.

I liked all of Ledger's movies, possible exception being The Brothers Grimm. I can only hope that Robert Downey Jr. doesn't end in the same way.
 
Haim, Feldman, Shore, Schneider, Green....go ahead, pick on the Jews. Just remember these two words:


John Wayne



I rest my case, damn ye.

Dude, you cant put The Duke in this catagory! Hellfighters, Flying Leathernecks, El Dorado, Sons of Katie Elder, Sands of Iwo Jima, True Grit, and a little movie called The Alamo. Just to mention him here is sacrilege! You should be forced to surrender your Blockbuster card! :)

Damn it, you win. That's it. He's so bad I blocked him out. Why is this guy still alive? I shared a bed with him once, but that's another story.

I can imagine a time when Martin Lawrence might have accidentally cracked a funny joke. Pauly Shore? Nada.
 
Gotta step in here for Guttenberg and Green. At least Guttenberg was in "Three Men And A Baby." So there's that.

And Tom Green's TV show was hysterical for a few episodes...you know...until we caught on that it wasn't really funny at all. But those few episodes were bold comedy. And then, instead of turning into Dave Letterman like you know he thought he was, he turned into Chris Burke.
