To argue about beauty is a futile exercise, this is a subjective concept, each individual has his own personal preferences. However, a significant majority converges on certain assessments, although, rather, unanimity is possible in evaluating not its beauty, but its opposite.
On TV and in the movies
Each movie lover can name more than a dozen unpleasant, even scary actors and actresses, but do not blame those whose external parameters are far from modern canons of beauty and ideas about the harmony of symmetry. This publication lists those performers who cannot be called written beauties, their true beauty inside, in magnetic charm and unsurpassed charisma. They are quite popular, successful and in demand.
Jeffrey Tambor and Ron Perlman
The American actor and comedian D. Tambor is far from Alain Delon and not even George Clooney. But being handsome and being a significant figure in Hollywood is not the same thing. Jeffrey is a great performer, talented and multifaceted. He overshadowed his colleagues in Delay in Development, now, of course, a star in Obvious. And all this at seventy years old. Moreover, he is not only successful himself, but also manages to push others forward.
Among the terrible actors of America and Ron Perlman, the star of the series of films about Hellboy and the series "Sons of Anarchy." It is rarely attributed to sexual and outwardly attractive performers. Even a powerful man dressed in a chic tuxedo looks like a simple hard worker, not endowed with intelligence and beauty. At the same time, Perlman is a very efficient and flexible actor, with whom the most famous filmmakers of our time collaborate with pleasure. And the audience is favorable to him, the army of fans is growing every year.
Whoopi Goldberg and Tilda Swinton
In the ranks of the terrible actors of Hollywood - two famous ladies. The name Whoopi Goldberg is familiar to viewers around the world, although the performer herself prefers secondary roles and partnerships with key actors. Moreover, any project with her participation is a most popular hit. From an early age, Whoopi reiterated that with her appearance in the movie, success could not be achieved. But, you must admit, for "Act, sister!" or "Ghosts" fatal beauty is not needed at all. You need to be able to make laugh, and this is not to be taken from Goldberg.

For most ordinary people, the appearance of Tilda Swinton is so unusual that they rank her among the terrible actors. But the androgynous actress has a huge arsenal to attract attention. He has an extraordinary talent, the ability to portray male and female characters. The directors are happy to attract the performer to the most difficult roles, knowing her ability to integrate into any surroundings. A huge number of awards confirms that she is loved and in demand.
Steve Buscemi and John C. Riley
After a thirty-year creative career at the Dream Factory, S. Buscemi is an irrefutable confirmation that beauty is not the main thing, the main thing is talent, the ability to immerse yourself in the image with your head. The contractor never claims to be the main roles, but the mere mention of his name can act as a guarantor of the quality of the project. Would the Underground Empire be so popular without it? The actor has an incredible ability to attract the attention of the public.

John C. Riley is another artist from the so-called scary actors. He, like Buscemi, has the ability to accurately select projects. His appearance cannot guarantee the success of the film, but what is hidden inside this man inevitably attracts connoisseurs of good cinema. John boldly experiments, takes part in the creation of comedies, then takes on serious dramatic roles and always emerges victorious. In Hollywood, where almost everyone went crazy on their own appearance, John has been feeling confident for a long time. His filmography contains so many outstanding works that you can already give up your hand for an unpretentious appearance.
Ken Zhong and Mayem Bialik
You need to have demonstrative courage to interrupt a successful career as a doctor in adulthood (40 years old) and become an actor. Already for this determination, Ken Zhong can be respected. Naturally, at this age you can’t count on an army of fans, but the funny comedian, ranked by the public as terrible actors, is not discouraged. After a series of successful cameos, he overshadowed all the famous Asian comedians and got his own series.
Mayem Bialik was called an ugly duckling in his youth. Her career was not easy, fame did not fall upon the actress rapidly. In her youth, she danced in the background in many television shows. Time passed, but she never turned into a beautiful swan. But she managed to realize her potential in the form of a friend of the protagonist of the series "The Big Bang Theory." Realizing the limit of her on-screen capabilities, the woman focused on producing activities.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and John Hill
Oscar-nominated, talented actress with a charming smile, Maggie Gyllenhaal also often appears on the list of scary actors in Hollywood. Photos of her confirm the complete absence of female attractiveness and sexuality. At the beginning of her career, she starred in the erotic film "Secretary", which is extremely difficult to call an exciting sight. After that, Maggie carefully selects projects, giving preference to those where she can demonstrate the full range of her talent, and not just sparkle with her naked body. Remember the “Dark Knight” - there Batman’s girlfriend attracts not with a figure, but with intelligence.
With his recent acting work, John Hill showed the public that he is not just a cute fat man who has become a hostage of one image and specializing exclusively in youth comedies and romcoms. On his track record is roles in “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Django Unchained”. Of course, in "Macho and Nerd" with C. Tatum, he is a natural star. Awkward, thick but a star.
Michael Cera and Clint Howard
The posters with the image of M. Seru girls will definitely not be hung on the walls. The actor looks frankly ridiculous, having a bizarre appearance. The performer very rarely appears at social events, noisy events and parties, which adds mystery to his person. Perhaps, revising the photos of the terrible male actors of Hollywood, not finding a suitable candidate to more accurately illustrate the term "nerd", this is the main charm of the performer. The popular favorite of Michael made roles in "Scott Pilgrim against all" and "Juneau."
Clint Howard is now practically not removed, but in the 90s he was among the most sought-after actors. In his arsenal, the roles of wonderful, comical and crazy characters. The filmography of the artist includes such famous projects as “Apollo 13”, “Tango and Cash” and “Austin Powers”.
Also among foreign performers, scary actors often include Vincent Cassel, Michael Barryman, Christopher Walken, Adrian Brody and William Defoe.
Domestic performers
The owners of a typical "non-Hollywood" appearance more often than others include the following domestic performers:
- Alexei Panin ("Zhmurki", "Star", "Soldiers"), who does not stop surrounding himself with scandals.
- Igor Gasparyan (“Hitler Kaput!”, “Fizruk”), whose appearance reflects the consequences of a professional occupation of Greco-Roman wrestling.
- Alexander Ilyin Sr. (Sherlock Holmes, Adaptation, Hotel Eleon).
- Viktor Sukhorukov ("Brother", "Antikiller", "Godunov").
These “scary" actors of Russia are loved by the public and are no less talented than Hollywood performers.
