So, here are just a few more of the most popular responses shared:
1. David Tennant in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

"David Tennant as Barty Crouch Jr. It doesn't matter how wonderful people tell me he is as 10, I still can't enjoy him in Doctor Who because of that sniveling, snaky character!"

2. Jack O'Connell in Eden Lake (2008)
Optimum Releasing
"Jack O'Connell terrified the shit out of me so much that, when he and his fellow Skins cast mates did a uni night at one of the clubs in my town, I was too scared to actually go meet him like my friends. He's such a good actor, but, by god, did he and that film mess me up!"

3. Victor Garber in Legally Blonde (2001)
MGM Distribution Co.
"I only watched this for the first time a couple of years ago (I know, I know — don't come at me). I loved the movie, but I can't look at Victor Garber the same way anymore, which sucks."

4. Laurence Fishburne in What’s Love Got To Do With It (1993)

"Laurence Fishburne playing Ike Turner! The domestic violence scenes are a little too realistic. There’s an entire generation of middle-aged Black women who are still mad at him for how well he played this role."

8. Alfred Molina in Not Without My Daughter (1991)

"He plays a wife-beating sack of shit. Whenever he's on screen now, I'm immediately uncomfortable and can't relax. Truthfully, he did an outstanding job in that role — absolutely nailed it. 10/10 performance, but I will never watch it again."
