Celebs We Love to Hate

What is it with Hollywood trying its hardest to shove certain actors down everyone's throats? Now, more than ever, there are so many inexplicably famous people that it’s actually getting depressing. It’s always a drag when celebrities no one likes start popping up in every movie at the Cineplex and concerts across the world, and this list is full of those celebs who have somehow managed to crawl their way to the top of entertainment mountain. Some of the celebrities on this list are actors Hollywood forced on us, some of them are musicians whose names you keep hearing but whose music you’ve never heard, and the worst of the bunch are the super producers who do… something? Try to keep from screaming at your computer while you look through this list of celebrities that Hollywood forced on us. You’d think the French would have a word for not knowing who someone is or why they’re famous, but knowing that they are in fact famous, but so far our time spent with Google Translate hasn’t turned up anything useful. From singers like Ariana Grande, to hunky dudes like Patrick Schwarzenegger&nbsp;who inexplicably appear in things, this list is a full court press of people who Hollywood did their best to make them famous. Maybe if you’re lucky, Hollywood will decide to make you famous for no reason some day! Until then, feel free to add any celebrities that Hollywood forced on you, and then vote up the celebrities who are somehow famous and seemingly everywhere, even though no one you know actually likes them.

We generally think of family movies as being the &quot;lightweights&quot; of the cinema world, but there have been plenty of amazing performances in kids&#39; movies. From actors who star in something because they want their own kids to be able to watch them to the many, many, many thespians who have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-who-played-scrooge/ranker-entertainment" target="_blank">essayed the part&nbsp;of Ebenezer Scrooge</a> over the years, there are lots of reasons why top-tier talent take&nbsp;on roles in movies aimed at young ones.

Just because a good actor is in a kids&#39; movie, though, doesn&#39;t mean their performance is anything special. Too often, talented actors take on roles in family films with an eye toward collecting a paycheck and not much else. Sometimes, though, the combination of talent and material is perfect, and an actor delivers an unforgettable, show-stopping performance in what could otherwise have been just another children&#39;s movie to clog video store shelves - back when there was such a thing. These roles tend to not only elevate their material, but often become defining moments in the actor&#39;s career. Remember to vote up your favorites.

Chances are, you totally forgot about many of the&nbsp;famous actors in Harry Potter movies. Over the course of eight feature-length Harry Potter movies, it became practically a rite of passage for British thespians to grace at least one of those&nbsp;big-budget&nbsp;fantasy films, even if it was&nbsp;just to pop in for a quick cameo.

Some of the actors you forgot were in Harry Potter movies&nbsp;include stars like Robert Pattinson and Scarlett Byrne, who were just starting out in the industry at the time. On the other hand, some others, like John Cleese and Kenneth Branagh, were already veteran performers on&nbsp;the big screen.

Which famous extras in Harry Potter films did you totally forget about? Which popular actor played the best muggle or wizard? From Potter friends to foes, here are some&nbsp;famous actors who are forever a part of the Harry Potter universe.

Hot on the tail of what many called "the worst year in all of recorded history," 2017 arrived to bring some changes. But did it?

2017: Peace Out

Culture

The celebrities who influenced culture in 2017 were fashion innovators, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-famous-human-rights-activists/reference" target="_blank">outspoken </a><a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-famous-human-rights-activists/reference" target="_blank">activists</a>, social media influencers, cutting edge artists, and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-musical-artists-of-all-time/ranker-music" target="_blank">talented musicians</a>. They used their platforms to create or say something original and when these 2017 influential celebrities spoke, the American public took notice. The very nature of being a famous person implied wielding a certain amount of&nbsp;influence, but the celebrity influencers on this list had a greater impact than the average famous person this year. Whether they started a movement - like Colin&nbsp;Kaepernick&nbsp;-&nbsp;or became the first person to do something - like Chance the Rapper, the first unsigned recording artist to win a Grammy without actually selling his music&nbsp;- these celebrity trendsetters were on the cutting edge of culture.&nbsp;

In a year dominated by <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/every-wtf-week-of-the-trump-administration/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">news of Donald Trump</a>, he can&#39;t help but make the list despite his technical current standing as a politician. As the President of the United States,&nbsp;his influence over American and global culture is hard to deny.

With&nbsp;two&nbsp;Best Actor&nbsp;Oscars and films that have grossed more than $9 billion worldwide, Tom Hanks&nbsp;stands&nbsp;as one of the best actors of his generation and one of the greatest actors of all time. In addition to nailing every role he&nbsp;plays, Tom Hanks is also famous for being down-to-earth and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/tom-hanks-was-the-best/lisa-waugh">maintaining a positive public image</a>. Hanks, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/next-meryl-streep-actresses/ranker-film">like Mery Streep</a>, does so much so well it's hard to imagine that anyone could fill his sheos. Since Hanks occupies such a large space&nbsp;within pop culture, it begs the question: who is the next Tom Hanks?&nbsp;Several young actors on their way to becoming the next Tom Hanks&nbsp;include Academy Award winner&nbsp;Eddie Redmayne and Oscar nominees Jake Gyllenhaal, Dev Patel, and Ryan Gosling. Non-American actors, like John Boyega, Andrew Garfield, and Daniel Radcliffe&nbsp;quickly became Hollywood A-listers&nbsp;for their critically acclaimed performances. Which of these talented leading men fit the bill as the&nbsp;future Tom Hanks? In order to measure up to such a titan of talent, an actor must have superb&nbsp;PR&nbsp;skills, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/tom-hanks-movies-and-films-and-filmography/reference">a versatile acting range</a>, and the ability to make audiences weep over a volleyball.

Becoming a star is easy. All you need is a little talent, some ingenuity, lots of grit, a bit of good luck, and a great big dream. Just kidding: What you really need is a famous parent. This is a list of current stars of film, TV, and music who are the sons and daughters of famous people. Some of these are brand new faces just rising in their first big roles, while others are finally booming after years of flying under the radar. Some have been famous in their own right for a while already. Maybe some are just successful because of nepotism.

Which faces of the big and small screen (and radio) were created by other famous faces? Oh,&nbsp;Mariska Hargitay, for example. The lovely star of Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit is the daughter of bodybuilder / plant aficionado Mickey Hargitay and early blonde bombshell Jayne Mansfield. Hargitay was only three and a half years old when Mansfield was killed in a car accident. Hargitay and her two brothers were in the car at the time.&nbsp;

Other TV <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-with-famous-parents/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">stars with famous parents</a> include Girls stars Allison Williams and Zosia Mamet. Williams is the daughter of NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, and Mamet is the daughter of Glengarry Glen Ross <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-works-of-david-mamet-playwright/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">writer David Mamet</a>. Eve Hewson, who stars in Cinemax&#39;s&nbsp;The Knick and Bridge of Spies, is the daughter of U2 frontman Paul Hewson, aka Bono. Katie Cassidy, who stars in The CW series Arrow, is the daughter of 1970s heartthrob David Cassidy. And Tony Goldwyn, who plays President Grant on Scandal, is the grandson of media mogul Samuel Goldwyn - as in Metro Goldwyn Mayer.

Take a look at these apples who have not fallen far from their respective trees, and rest assured that even in Hollywood, anything is possible if you have the right connections (like to a famous parent - maybe Bono or Meryl Streep).&nbsp;
