I Choose William Shatner

Wholeheartedly agree. He wasn't that great in the original Star Trek and has only gotten worse as he ages. Good thing the storylines of space travel were so unusual for the era they were able to carry the bad acting.


A female actor I'd nominate would be Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She's a Johnny-one-note in acting ability too.

I won't knock the guy for all that.



A boss of mine did hire on as landscape designer for him and got dumped. (I can't tell you the precise number of professionals among my friends who have been hired and fired here and there and beyond. Clearly a communication thing.

Edgar,That made my brain hurt.
However, I would take Shatner over Tom Arnold any day...

Tom Arnold aka Mr. Roseanne Barr

Born March 06, 1959 - Brash, bullyish American comic actor Tom Arnold held down a number of "Joe" jobs after college--meat packer, box stacker, bartender, bouncer--before giving stand-up comedy at try. He was very funny in a blunt sort of way, but did not really make it big until his notorious union with comedienne Roseanne Barr in 1990. At the behest of his powerful spouse, who featured him as a semi-regular on her smash hit ABC sitcom Roseanne and made him a producer, Tom was starred in two expensive network sitcoms, playing an obnoxious TV comedy star in one (The Jackie Thomas Show) and a standard-issue "lovable dad" in the other (Tom). Despite the strenuous efforts of Roseanne's production staff, neither program clicked with the public, though Arnold proved in both instances that he had the talent to stand on his own without the input of his wife. The Roseanne/Tom marriage went down in flames in 1993, with scorching and libelous incriminations from both parties. Industry pundits predicted that Tom Arnold was washed up, but he confounded his enemies with an excellent performance as a gregarious secret agent in the blockbuster Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle True Lies (1994). He then did a memorable turn in the otherwise unexceptional Hugh Grantvehicle Nine Months (1995). Subsequently, Arnold has steadily worked in a number of decidedly mediocre films including the roundly panned McHales Navy (1997) in which he played the role created by Ernest Borgnine for his mid-1960s television series of the same name.

I agree, those guys suck, but Bob Denver who played Gilligan was worse than all of them.

Gilbert Gottfried

I choose The Hoff:



I loved Knight Rider as a kid, but after watching repeats on digital, have decided it is bollocks. Baywatch is also garbage. One thing he has in common with Shatner is that they seem to have based the latter parts of their careers on parodying their earlier work.
