Worst actors

Talking about the worst actors is one of the internet’s favorite hobbies, mostly because nobody agrees and everyone is somehow right at the same time. These posts highlight the actors people swear should not have a career, yet Hollywood keeps handing them scripts like they’re doing charity work. It’s almost impressive.

These memes lean into that chaotic frustration.
