There are those actors who are universally regarded as “the best.” Consider Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep, two senior actors who improve films and television series just by appearing in them. But what about the opposite end of the spectrum? Reviews, ratings, and box office receipts are just not on their side. So brace yourself for some serious disagreement as we look at the actors who are popular with audiences but not with critics.
Tommy Wiseau
Tommy Wiseau is the poster child for this type of entertainer. His film The Room has become legendary. Its dialogue, direction, and acting all contribute to what is often regarded as “the worst movie ever made.” Needless to say, it became a cult classic. Surprisingly, Wiseau’s follow-up film Best F(r)iends was well received but less remembered.
