I didn't wee any nominations for the worse B-Movie actor of all time, so I thought I start a nomination. After we get enough nominations, we can do a bad actor showdown, pitting one actor against another using this forums polls.
My nomination is the always entertaining, Wings Hauser. I believe he has the longest string of horrible film without, even by accident, being in a good movie! With films like Street Asylum (1990), Bedroom Eyes II (1990) and Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991), how can anyone beat him?

I stand by my nomination of Busta Rhymes as in the "100 worst actors and director's" thread. The problem is that he is not a b-movie exclusive actor, but has in fact appeared in some high-budget films trying to act deep and philisophical (Watch Finding Forrester or Halloween Resurrection for Busta Rhymes reciting speeches clearly not written or made for him :tongueout: )
I'll try to stick to someone who has made a number of movies, of which I have seen quite a few. That actually eliminates quite a few possibilities. I nominate Reb Brown:

I nominate Luke Perry:

You may remember this douchebag from such crap as Beverly Hills 90210, Robin Cook's Invasion, or the Sci-Fi Original Descent. He plays precisely, pre-freakin'-cisely, the same character in everything: Smug, "too cool to care, but I still do", politically correct, suck-the-freakin'-life-out-of-any-scene-I'm-in, "14 year old girls love me and nobody else can stand me for 30 seconds" dude.

Mr. Segal has the final word in bad acting.
Joe Fleishaker.- Notable for being really fat and being in a crapload of Troma flicks. Yeah, the dude's funny sometimes, but he's a horrible actor, even for Troma.
Seems like there is a preponderance of male actors suggested. In order to even the playing field, I'll stick with my nomination from a previous thread; which is Julie Strain.
She has monotone line reading and three facial expressions down to an art.

Blasphemer! I'm going to offer up ...
Brinke Stevens scratch that .... after watching "Bad Girls from Mars"
Edy Williams is the worst B movie actress.

Her main claim to fame is on her chest...and marrying the guy who draws the Ninja Turtles comic.

Although I think she is a better line reader than Julie Strain, you may actually have to explain her to anyone on the board under 45.
Her main claim to fame was doing pictorials is some 60s and 70s low rent men's mags and having her breasts insured for a million dollars (safe bet for the insurance company as nobody wanted to touch them anyway).
ewwww...
Your image of Edy Williams that you chose, Cheezey, was not showing, so I opened it in another browser.
When one gets that old, there are clothes that should be illegal to wear.
I hope that image is not showing for others.
Jose Rosete.
He's pretty bad (and so are most of his movies) but he is probably the busiest b-actor working these days. Check out Jose's amazing resume at IMDb:

ooh, merchant and andrew made some really astute nominations, if you ask me. :thumbup: i'm trying to think of an actor who sucks as bad as their picks, but while i can think of actors who have been in tons of b-movies, they're actually not entirely horrible actors and are usually cast in roles that fit their personality pretty well...
however, i'll just nominate these two anyway...

I agree with Manard that there are mostly males and although I stick by Wings Hauser, for his extremely large body of horrible work, more than anything, I'll also nominate the worse female "actor" of the modern era. Paris! Who the f**k lets this girl make movies . . . or sing!

I was going to say Christopher Lambert, but it's toooo obvious!
so...I'd have to go with(http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2004/06/08/132386/Thor-2003__The_Sindicate_V1_June_16,_2003.jpg)

Seeing how he's already listed I say it is to obvious.
Hello -- EDITH MASSEY anyone?

Woah, this guy works a lot!!! Do you think he bragged to the other actors, "When I was on the set of 'Any given sunday,' (as an uncredited extra) Al Pacino said to me..."

Well, maybe not beat him, but his son Cole sure isn't a master thespian himself. His roles in the Cave and Paparazzi aren't going to be winning him any awards any time soon.
As for my own personal picks, I'd have to say both Brian Bosworth and Gary Daniels can be pretty bad to.
James Belushi? Does he count as a B movie actor now that's he's ended up in a sitcom?
The two that instantly come to mind are:
Joe Estevez and James L. Edwards.
