7. Paul Rudd
If you looked up coasting in the dictionary, odds are Paul Rudd’s face would be sitting there smiling at you. Has any actor in recent memory played virtually the same guy in as many movies as Rudd? Well, maybe one guy, but we will get to him later.
What is so frustrating about this is that Rudd could be so much more than the likeable, snarky guy he plays in every film these days. Watch his interviews or some of his early work, and you will see an actor that was trying just a little bit harder, and was willing to venture just a little bit darker.
We get it. You are always misunderstood, quick with a quip, and are JUST the kind of guy girls really want to be with. Now go do something different. Get away from the Apatow train and take a few chances with your career, Paul. Before Ant-Man 3 is your last option available.
