That persona is born of mental health problems and drug addiction so deserves a blie i think...
I've got a couple...Johnny Depp puts me off films I might have seen otherwise, though he does okay as the pirate, though that's pantomime really....
The other is.... Argh I forgot his name... He's been in mike Leigh films, the Harry potter films and recently played Turner in the biopic... Feel like a traitor as he's from my corner of south east London, but I think he's pretty unconvincing in everything he does. Overrated...

So many particulars. So many questions.
he has been in loads of good films, although his greatest days are behind him

And they're not coming back, by the sound of things. Heard an interview when he released his Reggae album (which wasn't good) and he said he wanted to do a sequel to Coming to America, which just strikes me as an odd choice to go with (why not Beverly Hills Cop?) Even then he didn't sound enthusiastic though, just seemed to want to make music and do films for the cash.

Agreed, she was fucking awful in the bond films she did.

I thought you were disputing his legendhis standup has aged....poorly
just bare offensive. The late 70s

Tim Spall. I hugely rate him. I think he's just slips so effortlessly into every one of his roles, he looks like he's not trying.
Ricky Gervais. As an atheist and animal lover he's immensely good but on screen he's just awful for me.

Ah Ricky Gervais, I'll second that one without any of the praise. He's an unfunny cunt who makes the world a worse place with his existence. Buried deep down there he may have a funny idea somewhere but once you filter it through his personality nothing good ever comes out.

Bill Nighly - I saw him on a fringe show about 18 years ago and thought "wow, he's amazing."
Since he got into big movie productions, I've come to realise that he acts the same and now just annoys the fuck out of me.
Stephen Fry - funny on panel shows, shit on film.
Helena Bonham Carter.

yeah he doesnt try ... hes just a face rather than an actor IMO...slighlty harsh, but he doesnt do it for me. I liked the bbc4 series about him and his wife driving their barge around the coast. he was good in that

Seymour Hoffman in most things too 
another contentious one! ... stopped watching films he was in after a few negative experiences. Too theatrical for me

Jeeves and Wooster? Long time back but he wasn't bad. Good in Blackadder too. Beyond that I'm not sure he thinks of himself as much of an actor, does he? More a 'personality'.

DaveCinzano who's the enormous pic man?
I would have agreed that Johnny Depp is a trustworthy sign of absolute shiteness in recent years but his new one about looks pretty intriguing.

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
Simon fucking Phillips. He's the twat from the White Collar Hooligan movies, those 'Jack' films, and the rubbish He Who Dares wannabe action franchise. I started watching UFO, which seemed like a pleasantly mindless low budget SF/disaster flick. Except Phillips' gurning fizzog shows up within minutes, and I realise I've been mugged off, and I have to shut that shit down, like IMMEDIATELY. He's basically the British Uwe Boll, and not in a good way, and he compounds the problem by appearing in front of the camera too
AVOID THIS FILTH
Simon Phillips - IMDb
trabuquera
Modesty Bag
Bradley Cooper - just gives me feelings of roiling disgust whenever I see him, for no real reason. 95% of his output is cack anyway but he's contaminated even a few otherwise interesting indie things.
