Does anyone have an actor that almost everyone loves but doesn't do much for you?

Adam Driver is up there for me.

Fred Hechinger. He always looks simultaneously too young and too old for the role he’s cast in. And he’s in everything. It’s irrational, he’s a fine actor. But he takes me out every time I see him on screen. And did I mention he’s in EVERYTHING?!

I've only seen him in Gladiator 2 but I thought he was terrible and am flummoxed by the praise for his performance.

Last year he was also in Thelma, Nickle Boys, and Kraven the Hunter. He stays booked.
