The 10 Worst Young Actors

The Top Ten
1 Jesse Eisenberg Jesse Adam Eisenberg is an American actor, author, playwright, and humorist. He made his television debut with the short-lived comedy-drama series Get Real.

Totally one dimensional. Lack of skill, and (surely? ) a lack of awareness of his shortcoming. Clearly has important friends, to the point one might assume someone important has an agenda to keep him on stage. He is so bad. I sometimes see his name on a movie I want to watch, then skip it. I'm pretty sure his brain is made of wet cake. He's probably, like most folk, a pretty decent person, I obviously don't know him so can't say. But I wish he'd do that thing any smart person would do when they get rich, just get out of the limelight, Jesse. Go and live. You're so lucky to have what you have, so so lucky man. Forget the attention. Let creative, talented people make movies and enjoy your good fortune outside of everyone else's line of sight.

Actually everybody was saying that Ben Affleck would made a bad Batman and nobody said anything about Jesse Eisenberg. Ben Affleck makes a good Batman, Amy Adams was as usual delivering her part outstanding but Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was the biggest mistake for this movie ( this guy can't act! ). If this movie was predicted to be not that good, the blame should be on Jesse Eisenberg. The movie is worth to watch in fact if you put some " water in the wine " for Jesse Eisenberg 's performance. I can't believe that this " actor " was casted for that movie or any other movie for that matter. So overrated as an actor!

He can't even a ct. w hy is he on this list? He just reads lines and plays every role as himself. Perfect for the Social Network only because that's actually him. I loved Zombieland but again, he was expressionless and just being himself, not acting. Every other actor except him made that movie awesome and just bearable enough to watch. I don't even want to see Batman vs. Superman because of him. Well him, and the fact that I hate superman and the actor who plays him (overrated pretty boy). And I don't have faith in Ben Affleck. ALL the actors who have played batman have failed to do him justice and show him as the true badass, dark, cool, calm, collected, sly, playboy, genius, e tc. t hat is Batman and Bruce Wayne.

Jesse Eisenberg is highly connected in Hollywood. Other actors love to work with him because no matter how horribly they act they will never be the worst actor in any given movie. On the other hand he may not be worst actor of all time, Pauly Shore in Bio-Dome would give him a good run for his money. But then again even though Pauly should be euthanized for the sake of mankind he is still ten times more likable than Eisenberg. I would not watch any movie with either of theirs names. Life is too short for such pain.

2 Chloë Grace Moretz Chloë Grace Moretz is an American actress and model. She began her acting career in 2004 at the age of seven, and her first award nomination came the following year for The Amityville Horror.

Personally, I don't care about her personal beliefs and this just comes from a place of pure love for cinema.

I hate Chloe Grace Moretz and I find it hard to watch any movie with her in it. She is the worst actress and it gets my blood boiling at how much praise she gets. Truly, she is not a great actress. She overacts if anything. Take a look at her films 'The 5th Wave' and 'If I Stay'. Both films are based on novel series, and yet neither film got a second instalment; I wonder why. Her facial expressions are the same in every film she does. She also seems to take on roles that have scenes which require emotion, which she so obviously lacks. Lets be real everybody! She only gets cast in films because she gets a lot of undeserving hype which gets lots of people to watch their movies. I mean, I won't even start on 'Carrie'; oof.

In conclusion, she doesn't deserve the hype she gets and honestly shouldn't be an actress anymore. Her films don't do well!

This is just a personal opinion, but here it is:
She seems to show a preference for violent characters, but she clearly lacks the acting skills to flesh them out. Screaming, swearing, and shooting people does not make her believable, it just makes her what she is - a rich kid who probably screamed and swore at her well-connected, moneyed relations until she got the role.

Faking being a lesbian so she can stay relevant pretty much tells you what you need to know about her.

She is out twice on this list. This is proof how pathetic and annoying she is

3 Jonah Hill Jonah Hill Feldstein, professionally known as Jonah Hill, is an American actor, producer, and comedian.

Really do not understand how he gets cast in movies. His character is always the rude fat guy sidekick who nobody ever acknowledges is an ass. But in real life, if someone acted the way he does in movies, people wouldn't put up with him, and still call him a friend. Have never understand why he's portrayed as sympathetic, who the hell identifies with his characters?

Who decided this guy has a funny bone in his body? I'd rather watch people getting high on periscope than any of his garbage movies. He must have a relative in showbiz. He's just horrible. I repeat horrible. It's a sad day when we have this loser punk instead of the likes of Rodney Dangerfield or Bill Murray. What happened to comedy?

A great example of an overprivelaged brat with very little talent getting handed plum roles on a platter because of his connections. His overbearing, unfunny, tryhard presence in any movie will make me avoid it like the plague.

What? Jonah Hill is awesome! I go see movies just for Jonah. Millions of people know Jonah is absolutely hilarious in comedies and great in straight roles. he shouldn't be listed here.

4 Aubrey Plaza Aubrey Christina Plaza (born June 26, 1984) is an American actress and comedian. She is best known for her role as April Ludgate on the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. After appearing in supporting roles in several feature films, Plaza had her first leading role as Darius Britt in the 2012 film Safety Not Guaranteed.
5 Shia Labeouf Shia Saide LaBeouf is an American actor, performance artist, and director who became known among younger audiences as Louis Stevens in the Disney Channel series Even Stevens.

Maybe he can act, but I wouldn't knowingly go to a movie that stars someone with a reputation as a douchebag. That's why I don't go to see Tom Cruise movies, or (more recently) Will Smith movies.

I can't stand him on screen. He was the most annoying thing in transformers 2,3. His antics off screen make him look even worse.

How come that Hollywood don't realized that Shia can't act, stop waisting money paying him.

This is such bull. He can act. Watch Lawless, Disturbia, and Nymphomaniac Vol. 1 & 2. He shined.

6 Anna Kendrick Anna Kendrick is an American actress and singer. She began her career as a child actor in theater productions.
7 Emmy Rossum Emmanuelle Grey Rossum is an American actress and singer-songwriter. She is known for her portrayal of Fiona Gallagher in the television series Shameless. Her role in Mystic River initially brought her recognition. She starred in the science-fiction film The Day After Tomorrow and received critical acclaim for her performance in the leading role of Christine Daaé in the film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera. In 2007, Rossum released her debut album, Inside Out. She also released a Christmas EP the same year, titled Carol of the Bells. In 2013, she released a follow-up album called Sentimental Journey.
8 Emma Watson Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson is a British actress, model, and activist. Born in Paris and brought up in Oxfordshire, Watson attended the Dragon School as a child and trained as an actress at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts.

Why ha she is only cashing in. And other things. No I just don't like her acting. And bad role model saying one thing then another. And things she did when she was growing up. No not good. Now she thinks she can change. No. She's good at acting to fool her silly now fans. The ones from harry potter who sees her with rose coloured glasses on. Wake up not everyone likes the same thing and follow like sheep. Think of freedom of speech. If we were all cut from the same cloth. How boring life would be. As for me my my number ones my dad a doctor. He rocks. So stop and stop making out like these are actors or celebrity is the bees knees because they are not. Go get a life. And live the way you want.wake up before its to late.shes pretty but I don't like her acting.

Why is she here. Hate her anyway. Thinks shes so smart and hot. Talk about tickets on yourself. She so fake. And can't act for peanuts.A lot of people that I know think shes so over rated. Just I did harry potter. Wow do you want a pat on the back from that. If she wasnt in that. She wouldn't be so well known. And have to work for it. What she has most actors don't have that in there life time. Who work hard for it. And don't get everything given to them because I was in harry potter. Her radcliffe ate nothing but a running joke. Lol.

Ha shes pretty as for the eyebrow acting no. With all the money she made from harry potter. And her other things. She is so lucky. Most of them do not get a look in. She got a lucky break. And everyone thinks shes great because of harry potter. Without she would be like anyother actor that works hard for it. And her acting us so one way.

Wow look at all the make up. She looks better without it plaster on her face. And her acting no I don't like it. Please explain. Some of the things I have read about her from her native home land. She is two faced.

9 Kristen Stewart Kristen Jaymes Stewart (born April 9, 1990) is an American actress and filmmaker. The world's highest-paid actress in 2012, she has received various accolades, including a British Academy Film Award and a César Award, in addition to nominations for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award. ...read more.

Excels at playing the moody main character simply because she is one moody cow. Crack a smile woman!

She's literally the worst. She has no personality and just comes across as so unpleasant.

10 Ariel Winter

Sucks at acting. I hope she is ashamed of watching herself!

The Contenders
11 Robert Pattinson Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson is an English actor, producer, model, and musician. He started his film career by playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a 2005 fantasy film.

This list is terrible. Jonah Hill good, nominated for an academy award. Jake gyllenhaul is great has had some bad movies but is a great actor in movies like brokeback mountain and Jarhead. Daniel Radcliff is great in harrypotter not the best actor but certainly not meant to be on this list. Shia Lebouf can be really good and in no way deserves to be on this list. Jesse Eisenburg weird quirky yes, but has been nominated for an academy award and is not meant to be on this list. Terrible list. Robbert Pattinson sucks so yeah he can be on here.

He should stick to the cheesy teen fairy-tale movies and STOP trying to sing.. Also I'm sick of hearing about how hot he is! He looks apish, like some part human, part animal creature that lives in a cave, especially with that dumb, vacant look on his face all the time.

Shame this list isn't more recent because he now has a significant amount of respect (from me at least) for one of the best performances of the decade in 'Good Time'

Jesse Eisenberg is a horrible actor. What he does isn't even acting. The only reason he's famous is his "background".

12 Taylor Lautner

God, he shou
D be the star of a show called 'how to take offyour shirt so many times that viewers throw remotes at the T.V. screen'
Sorry he already is the star of that show

I liked when he played Youngblood in Danny Phantom.
He is a good actor compared to the others in Twilight, but he still needs to learn about expressing his emotions even more.
All I've seen him do in Twilight, is being stoic and angry

Watch Tracers. He wasn't too bad.

He was good on Danny Phantom

13 Chloe Moretz Chloë Grace Moretz is an American actress and model. She began her acting career in 2004 at the age of seven, and her first award nomination came the following year for The Amityville Horror.

She's actually a good actress - have you seen Let Me In. She does a great job, and in Hugo, and she was good as Carrie White. I don't understand the hate, she's not that bad

Can't stand her presence, look & terrible acting. Lots of bad young actors these days, she's definitely one of the very worst.

I just don't get her as a main female protagonist, can't she like be, bystander number 3 or something..

I mainly just recognize her as hit girl, she's not bad, she's mainly just eye candy for us guys lol

14 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more.

Dil hole. Yes that what he is makes to much money and no common scents.

This ass is beyond annoying, someone PLEASE just beat him

He makes us sick was good until it all went to his head.

Shoot me now. No no no

15 Meghan Markle

She is just to faced. And of course she can handle the royal bull. Because she is a actor. That will ruin the royal family.

I read the royal family do not like her. Also she is a b grade actor not Hollywood royalty. I think she is a common. Want a be. And why moree bull. All about her and harry. why. She is so over rated... hope they go away real soon. She us a actor. So of course it can handle the crap.

Bad actor agree with everything here.

So over up it self. Must he good in bed.

16 Zac Efron Zachary David Alexander "Zac" Efron is an American actor. He began acting professionally in the early 2000s, and rose to prominence in the late 2000s for his leading role in the High School Musical franchise. During this time, he also starred in the musical film Hairspray and the comedy film 17 Again.

Just saw his first couple of "serious movies" at any price, the paperboy, and the lucky one and each one sucked and his performance in each one was horrible

At least with his looks, I can understand why he gets put on the screen...these other ones though...

Pretty good at looking good. He'll never do Shakespeare though

Beautiful guy but can't act.

17 Amber Heard Amber Laura Heard (born April 22, 1986) is an American actress known for her roles in the films Never Back Down (2008), Drive Angry (2011), The Rum Diary (2011), and for portraying the DC Extended Universe character Mera in Aquaman (2018) and its upcoming 2023 sequel. She has been appointed as an ACLU ambassador for women's rights and as a Human Rights Champion for the UN's OHCHR... read more

She should just run away and never return to acting.

18 Tom Felton

Bad actor hate anything from harry potter.

19 Jaden Smith

He's a brick wall, but if he were cast to play a brick wall, he'd still collapse from a lack of talent. He's also dumb as a brick. His parents did such a wonderful job filling his head with crap, that if you were to ask him which hand was his left hand, he would respond, "Yeah, that's cool, but that's just labels. I don't label things, because that's a conspiracy against the greater truth, like, like, like totally, uh made up (looks at Will), by the Thetans."

I'm happy to see that jaden smith made the list. He's should just go to college or better yet live off his fathers money for the rest of his life and spare the world of his terrible acting and music. Time better served.

Watching his lackluster performance in "After Earth" was more than I could endure. It was as if he had never been in front of a camera before.

I just remember him messing up badly as an Academy Awards host. And I saw his trailer where he says, "that's nasty! " Other than that not surprised he didn't turn out to be a RADA Shakespearian.

20 Bindi Irwin

She does not live at Australia zoo. And it is time to stop about daddy. Kids that don't know abour him and diana come on enough is a enough. Time to stNd on your own to feet and she can't act and we are sick if all the drama. Oh she has a boyfriend he twi time her we ate getting married having a baby. Whats that got to do with the zoo. And the things she says she stands for god just just after money. Wake up now nothing but a cash cow. My dad rocks he's a vet. And mums a nurse. Way cool.

No she does not live at the zoo and stop with the drams whats that got to do anout wild life. And her dad do not care. don't know him. Werent born until after his passing my friends and I say stop about dad stand on own to feet. And stop with the drama to can't act. Only when it suits her. The zoo is a joke with out daddy as the star. Hod stay in the us you cow.

God we only here from this mob. When it suits them mainly drama or daddy this daddy that. Come on now all it does is travel with its boyfriend. And 5 star hotels and first class flying. And all the other bull. She tells lies. And gets away with it. Cone on now. Wake up Australia. Just acts when it suits her.vant act in movies. Nothing but trash.

Oh dad died who cares is that what her fame is now. I am five and hate her and Robert. God nothing but drama. What rubbish. Bindi the dancing fat little elephant.

21 Zendaya Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman is an American actress, singer and producer. She began her career as a child model and backup dancer, before gaining prominence for her role as Rocky Blue on the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up. Her film roles include supporting parts in the musical drama The Greatest Showman (2017) and the superhero film Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and its sequel, Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019).

What a two faced cow! Oh I am sorry strong African cow...Zendaya is such a turd

She has the appeal of a mop rag and can’t sin to save her life. Sorry Zendaya is not at all what she is made out to be

Terrible actress and has to play the race card every time she gets a bad review or doesn’t get her way

22 Michael Cera

No, no, no--Cera can act and he's a funny guy. Eisenberg though, is a movie killer; every scene is disrupted by his own personality rather than the character he should be portraying.

Okay my bad, I posted the thing about him being in batman v superman, and I just realized that it was Jesse Eisenberg, they look so much alike. But Cera would have done better as Lex Luthor.

Why is he on the list?! He's a great actor, especially when it comes to his performances in Superbad and Arrested Development.

He is the exact same as Jesse Eisenberg... seriously they both play that socially awkward guy with the exact same annoying voice in EVERY PART!

23 Abigail Breslin Abigail Kathleen Breslin is an American actress and singer. She appeared in her first commercial when she was three years old and in her first film, Signs, at the age of five.

Come on, this girl is very talented. She was awesome in " Zombieland " as the teen sister of Emma Stone. Very good in Rom-Coms and her role as Chanel number 5 in " Scream Queens " is outstanding and very funny. She doesn't belong in a "worst actor / actress " list.

Liked her a lot in the movie " Final girl ".

24 Daniel Radcliffe Daniel Jacob Radcliffe is an English actor who rose to prominence as the title character in the Harry Potter film series.

What the hell? I for one do not believe he is a bad actor. He is effortless in acting and worked hard to get what he has.

After the first Harry Potter, I couldn't believe how bad his acting got. He can be so terrible at acting sometimes.

Not a bad actor. Horns was actually watchable. I don't know about that Frankenstein movie though.

I for one think he's humble and a good actor. One of the more believable ones

25 Auli'i Cravalho Auliʻi Cravalho is an American actress, singer and musician. She made her acting debut as the title character in the 2016 film Moana. In 2018, Cravalho made her television debut starring as Lilette Suarez in the NBC drama series Rise.

Is she seriously going to play Ariel? My god she already had the chance to be one (pathetic) Disney Princess and now she needs the spotlight again? I guess all that crap about honoring her Hawaiian heritage was bull crap!

Meteoric rise to fame. Some work years to build a successful career. Hers took less than 24 hours. Some are just lucky and have it handed to them like this idiot

How she was discovered is ridiculous. Performing at a charity competition. When she should have been helping people, she was only helping herself

She just got lucky! She didn't deserve to be Moana. Wasn't that good. And her Hawaiian heritage isn't important anymore now that she's got a spot in Drama High
