10 Bad Actors Hollywood Keeps Pushing (5 of 6)
Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer’s persona is blunt, slightly chaotic, and allergic to subtlety. When it works, it’s refreshing, but most of the time it doesn’t work. Hollywood continues to promote her as a leading comedic force, despite the loud division among audiences. The absurd aspect lies in the studios’ belief that “controversy” equates to “popularity,” despite clear indications from the public that they won’t be watching Schumer’s poorly received film.
Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler may be the most confusing actor on this list. One minute, he’s making comedies that feel like they’re catering to people with IQs so low they’re in the negative, and the next, he’s doing a serious, heartfelt performance that makes you cry like a baby. As a result, Sandler is either surprisingly competent or aggressively mediocre, with very little in between. Hollywood keeps pushing because the Adam Sandler brand is bulletproof, even though it misses more than it hits.
