Actors Who Got Famous Playing Roles That They Hated

Andrew Lincoln as Mark in “Love Actually”

“Love Actually” is a film that, in an era where consent is an open discussion, hasn’t aged well. Andrew Lincoln had enough sense to recognize it at the time. “My big scene in the doorway felt so easy. I just had to hold cards and be in love with Keira Knightley. And that was my own handwriting on the cards, thank you for noticing. But I kept saying to Richard [Curtis, the film’s writer-director], ‘Are you sure I’m not going to come off as a creepy stalker?'” He was assured that he wouldn’t. Though the film was a huge success, many now question exactly what Lincoln questioned at the time.
