Andy Garcia leads the packs IMO.

I guess he was good in Frasier? I got nothing, he's terrible.

There are tons.

But I cannot remember them because they were too mediocre.

Big fan of ER and The Good Wife but Julianna Margulies is a blank slate. She has made piles of money.

I'd go with the entire cast of Friends. They were pulling down $1 million each an episode for a few seasons there.

Obviously Sandler in his last, I don't know, 15 movies.

 

[Sabertooth]

David Schwimmer

Brad Pitt

Adam Sandler

Are you me? This guy has amazing range.

Will Ferrell. Is he capable of playing a character that isn't just big and stupid?

 

[BowieMercs]

[Deepster]

Jennifer Garner. She's not that hot and she's not even a good actress.

Unless Christo works in Hollywood, I doubt Melissa McCarthy or Rebel Wilson ever had to work on the casting couch.

Jennifer Garner. She's not that hot and she's not even a good actress.

[DocHolliday]

Top of the list - Tom Cruise.

Cruise can actually act. He does not belong on this list.
