Movies offer an escape from mundane, stressful lives, immersing viewers in the personal worlds of onscreen characters. However, this relies on actors delivering truly exceptional performances.

That isn’t always the case. While the names on this list are well-known, fame doesn’t necessarily equate to outstanding acting.

Chuck Norris

He became the subject of countless jokes in early 2005, though not for his acting skills.

Despite being a black belt and highly skilled in judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, his extensive action film career—filled with fight scenes—couldn’t hide his less-than-stellar performances.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, he holds the title of the worst actor of all time, with his films averaging a mere 18.4% rating.

Some examples are “Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection”, “Firewalker”, and “Hero and the Terror”.
