The actor who had only bad films.
They did it on purpose !
Or an actor that only did television shows.
Tom Cruise. I seriously think I like all his films.
Daniel Day Lewis
His filmography is very limited because he was extremely picky about what he appeared in. But even still, I think all of his movies were good, even if done of them were uncomfortable to watch.
Nine (2009) has entered the chat
Daniel Day Lewis isn’t in 9, and it’s not a bad movie.9 != Nine. To my defense, they were both released in 2009deleted by creator
Confusing that a movie called 9 released the same year as another movie named Nine 😃
Steven Seagal.
Technically Correct since they are all bad…

Tom Cruise. It’s awkward but undeniable.
Cocktail?
This one I have at least heard of! A critical flop but box-office success, apparently. So not obviously “bad”.
The Mummy (2017)
I guess you haven’t seen Top Gun: Maverick yet?
Eh, it wasn’t that bad really, only when compared to original top gun
Ha. Indeed I haven’t. But I understand it was not exactly bad.
I thought it was something of a meme at this point, that the crazy scientologist somehow never picks bad projects. To the point that other actors know they can jump in if it gets his seal of approval.
I certainly haven’t seen a bad one, anecdotally.
M-I:2 was a miss on so many levels.
John Woo tried his best. That script couldn’t be saved.
I say this as a person whose guilty pleasure is a rewatch of any M:I movie. But, I can’t give any time to this turd sandwich.
Losin’ It is a 1982 comedy film directed by Curtis Hanson, and starring Tom Cruise, Shelley Long, Jackie Earle Haley and John Stockwell. The film follows four teenagers trying to lose their virginity. It was filmed largely in Calexico, California.
…
The film received negative reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 18% of 11 critics’ reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.3/10.[3] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 51 out of 100, based on 4 critics, indicating “mixed or average” reviews.
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert criticized the film on their TV program At the Movies. Siskel called it “dreadful” and “predictable.”
OK that one passes.
But in a way that’s the point. Others here are proposing young actors who have made single-digit numbers of movies. Pretty easy to have a 100% hit rate when you’ve made 4 movies! Tom Cruise has been making films nonstop for 4 decades.
I’d be tempted to argue that it hits what it was aiming for. It’s meant to be a cheap raunchy Porky’s rip-off, and it succeeds. I suspect Cruise does a good job in it - the year before he did Taps, and the year after he did All the Right Moves.
Tom Waits, maybe?
He sure as hell did better acting than Keanu in Dracula.
he plays the part straight out of the book!
What about movies where the actor’s performance was the only good thing in an otherwise bad film? I don’t think those should count against the actor. They did their job well; it’s not their fault the rest of the production sucked.
Every Nick Cage movie ever

James Stewart, James Cagney
Nicholas Cage. And I’m ready to die on that hill.
This is the only correct answer.
See, I can think of a few movies of his that I have problems with. Yet I wouldn’t call them bad, only missing a few cylinders to bring them to perfect. He has been in a few that are top, damn Con Air is about the perfect movie ever for what it was aiming to be.
I just can’t take Vampire’s Kiss.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance?
Prisoners of the ghostland would like a word
Wickerman. Go.
We may have slightly different definitions of good, but fair enough.
Omg the top comment on that first video:
“I don’t even think that girl knew she was being filmed.”
Amazing.
Adam Sandler
The best kind of correct!
John Cazale.
Only appeared in 5 films but all five were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars:
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather Part II (1974)
The Conversation (1974)
Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
The Deer Hunter (1978)Died of lung cancer in March 1978, aged 42 ☹️
There is no other answer than this.
Fucking legend
Well I know what I’m doing this afternoon
Brandon Lee
Correct, but also sad
