Not very well known unless you're a big fan of B movies like I am....

When your best performance is in the movie Assault of The party Nerds, you're in trouble....
...and this is a guy with almost 50 movie credits...so it's not like he was someone's buddy who just happened to be a one off casting decision in some z-grade movie made in someone's back yard....
Worry less about the bad acting... How about getting some good, original scripts and talented directing for a change. I swear to god if I see one more ad for a 'teacher turns a class of losers around' movie, I am going to start lopping off some heads.
I was going to say Keanu, but, I've changed my mind.
Sam Jackson. He was awful in any movie BUT Pulp Fiction, and all he did in that one was play an angry black man.
Hell, I can almost pull that off.
While I'll contend that I haven't seen even half of the films in which Jackson has starred, his roles in Goodfellas, Menace II Society, Die Hard, Jackie Brown, AND Pulp Fiction certainly disqualify him from being "awful." He's quite a talented actor.
EDIT: As for least favoured actor, I too would have to pick Ben Affleck.
Nick Cage CAN act...he just doesn't do it much these days. He was good in Leaving Las Vegas and won the oscar for it. When I saw him in Adaptation I remembered why I used to like him. However, this action figure role he appears to want to take has made him lazy or something and he just drones his way through a role.
Also, Tom Cruise can act. He isn't a great actor but he is a good actor (watch that 'you can't handle the truth' scene in A Few Good Men and see the difference been Cruise as a good actor and Jack as a GREAT actor illustrated perfectly). His cult driven insanity surely qualifies him as one of the most annoying actors in Hollywood but he can act and isn't the worst.
Even Afleck has had odd moments where he nearly showed talent (usually when Kevin Smith has bullied him into it). Though I love it when they bill him on a film as 'Oscar Winner, Ben Afleck'. All I can do is restrain myself from yelling at the screen 'yes but NOT for acting!'.
