Adam Sandler is usually horrendous but I kind of like him. The movies where he's at are usually sh*t but the guy has something that makes me not hate him 100%

Ben Stiller, though, I totally loathe. Nothing like his father.

I only know Ben Stiller.Who is is father?
If you watched Seinfeld, George's father. I think he also appeared in the King of Queens ?

Sorry no help. I will IMDB it. But I like Ben anyway.

At first I thought it was going to be something like actors who actually act vs. ones who are just themselves pretty much, but being recorded.

Have to go with those who act.

It's just...better LOL
Not saying they aren't good but I usually dislike those who have the same role every time.
Even if I like them, Ricky Gervais is one that comes to mind, I do get kinda bored seeing the same shtick every time.

That post would have been great if you hadn't mentioned Val Kilmer.

Best performance I ever saw were - Val Kilmer in Tombstone, Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and Nicholsen in the Shining.

Except it's a self-aware comedy trying to be as bad as possible I've had the most fun, under such circumstances, watching it. Big smile

^ Well it was a self-aware comedy trying to be as bad as possible (which it succeeds to), that's avant enough for me.

Tropic Thunder is hilarious. It's the only movie I find Jack Black funny. It's not really all about Ben Stiller in that movie anyway.
Robert Downey Jr. is the best.

I have to agree with the Altarian. Tropic Thunder sucked the big one. Nice to find someone who agrees, but no one in our house liked it.

Actors who act.  Actors who are work with a good script, and I enjoy Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis from that category.  And since Jack Black was mentioned, a great scene from one of Willis' films LOL:

Why not watch it? Wink

I prefer actors who act, but I'm not overly picky.
