For me, it's William Hurt. I was always a fan of his especially in movies like Gorky Park and Kiss of The Spiderwoman until I discovered that he was an abusive partner, especially Marlee Matlin. 😕

Does this mean you won't watch any movies starring William Hurt anymore?

Only curious. I have Justin Timberlake on my personal blacklist. Been avoiding movies he is in, but I never liked him to begin with.

The last film I watched which had him in it was Avengers Endgame but it makes me a bit uncomfortable to see him knowing what I know

There's a lot of names there that I don't watch on film anymore because of the abuse allegations against them.

private lives aside, I always feel bad when actors I respect turn up in complete garbage movies that seem like their only motivation for appearing in them could be the $$$

e.g. Frances McDormand being in a TRANSFORMERS movie... sorry but that just taints my opinion of her.

and okay De Niro has done some dreck, but DIRTY GRANDPA... why?

It seems like in more recent years DeNiro has slipped from being an A-list talent to just doing whatever low budget drek he's offered.

I normally keep private lives of actors separate from the works. Most Hollywood elites are mostly questionable human beings.

I wouldn't be able to watch anything if I did otherwise.

Agreed. Another classic example:



The only persons movies I skip are from Justin Timberlake, and I can live with that.

Woody Allen. Can't stand him as a person, or an actor ever.

Agreed there. He was funny in his early films but no more.
