Is he a Marmite actor?

I would fancy the new drama he is in, but I simply can't abide his voice, or looking at him, or his one-dimensional acting, so I must avoid.

Although - for years i could never watch Wire In The Blood because I found Robson Green similarly hard to endure, but that feeling miraculously evaoprated without explanation, and I have watched and really enjoyed every episode.

Anyone else find themselves put off an individual actor / actress for no explainable reason?

I like James Nesbitt, he's subtle and believable and very rangey in my opinion but I hate Lacey Turner, she might as well be wearing a mask, her expression never changes, her voice is horrible and she seems not to understand all but the simplest scripts in terms of emotion.
Yes linking from you I can't stand Helen Baxendale because of the character she played in Cold Feet with James Nesbitt, hated her therefore in Friends. Another actor I can't stand so won't willingly watch any of his films is Jason Statham, he is so overrated, I've no idea why.
I like James Nesbitt.

I can't think of any actors I'm put off by.

TV presenters on the other hand!!
I like James Nesbitt. He's very watchable. Don't like Leonardo di Caprio or Brad Pitt.
@andy....to answer your question, with me it's Benedict Cumberbatch....can't give any lofty reasons to explain why,...just don't like the guy ;)
Love James Nesbitt though,....also think he is improving with age.

Admittedly he isn't making films any more, but I still can't watch any film with John Wayne in it. And apart from the Toy Story films, I similarly can't watch Tom Hanks. I can't explain why, I have nothing personal against either of them.

tommyclark - I am with you on both of those!
I love Tom Hanks, too- Green Mile...Money Pit...:-)
Tom Hanks is OK but every film I've ever seen him in he's the same character - presumably Tom Hanks. Sleeping in Seattle, Big, Saving Private Ryan, You've got Mail, The Green Mile, Captain Phillips, the one where he gets left on a desert island - all of them could be the same person at a different stage in their lives. Is that acting?
Apollo 13- was he in that?
i like james nesbitt but i tend to avoid tom cruise stuff as he irritates me, (but risky business is one of my fave films...)

there are a few other actors that i won't watch programmes if they're in them but i cant for the life of me remember who they are
I just cannot abide Rob Brydon and never watch anything that he is in. I couldn't say why I don't like him - it is totally meaningless.
I like James Nesbitt, and I was never a fan of Robson Greene until he did that Northern Lights series with Mark Benton a few years back. I thought those shows were wonderful.
One actor I've never taken to.....Clinton Eastwood
Oh, and I often get Nesbitt mixed up with John Hannah. Big resemblance I think.
two singers do it for me. radio off. Robbie Williams and cliff Richard(s) and acress (?) nicole kidman.
Can't stand nesbitt for the same reason.
James Nesbitt......i liked him (a bit) until he put me off completely in his performance of Monroe, a neurosurgeon.Cocky, scruffy, never wore a tie, let his junior staff talk to him in familiar manner and took the relative of a patient onto the hospital roof to " have a chat."

I was disappointed in the series and thought he was miscast as Monroe.
Michael Caine....
Well...Anthony Hopkins for me.....but I have a reason.....

He spoiled a production of Antony and Cleopatra for me......and much later in a radio interview said that he had been drinking and was bored during that production....

Well that came across good and proper!

Can't think of one without a reason, Andy....x
Oh yes Pixie, forget about Apollo 13. Love that film but still could be the same person :-)
