As I've told people, Tom was in practically every major movie in the 90s, to the point that it was annoying and nauseating to me. Eventually I got over it and started watching his movies, I think that was 10 years ago.

Tim Robbins. But he hasn't grown on me yet. I enjoy watching his death scene in Mission to Mars.

I used to dislike Julia Roberts - until I was utterly floored by her turn in Erin Brockovich and then again in Closer.

Hilary Swank - I always thought she was not a particularly convincing actress, despite her undeniably potent work in Boys Don't Cry... Until she swept me off my feet with her heartbreaking performance in The Homesman.

The same goes to Denzel Washington. I used to find him overrated, until the last few years when I watched Safe House (a magnificent star turn) and Fences.

Very stubbornly avoided Kevin Costner and Richard Gere films due to their reputations in chick flicks but then I saw Primal Fear and loved Richard Gere's performance and then saw 3000 Miles to Graceland where Kevin Costner blew me away playing one of the best and most vicious villains in film history then gradually explored their catalogs and very quickly became a big fan of both actors. Gere also blew me away as another one of the best and most vicious villains in film history with the great Mike Figgis thriller Internal Affairs.

Ben Affleck is another one but I'm not as big of a fan of his as Costner and Gere.

Hate is a strong word, so I'll use dislike. I disliked Matthew McConaughey until Killer Joe and True Detective. Phenomenal actor.
