We are here with another awesome post featuring some pretty cool actors that we wanted to touch on today. We have compiled a list of 5 actors that were said to be awesome to work with and then 5 actors that are reportedly terrible to work with.

It's a known thing that some people are probably easier to work with than others, and sometimes people can be pretty hard to work with. Whether that's because they're just not the best person, or they request extra things, or they just simply aren't pleasant to work with.

We've built this list based on what multiple people have said about their experience with working with these actors. Now, we can't assume everything that we read is true, and if we haven't worked with these actors before, then we really don't know, but it's still an entertaining thing to talk about.

So if this sounds like something you're interested in and you want to see what actors are considered the best to work with and which actors are considered the worst to work with, then you'll want to stay tuned for this article. Let's dive in and check out which actors are best to work with and why some of them aren't the best to work with.

1. Nightmare: Mike Myers

Mike Myers may have a cheerful personality on screen, but we've heard horror stories of people working with him. In an interview with AV Club, the actress shared her story about what happened behind the scenes of The Cat in the Hat.

She recalled that Mike Myers didn’t talk to anybody on set and just walked away when people came to him. She also said he was very demanding of what he needed from assistants.

2. Delight: Tom Hanks

It's no surprise here that people tend to love working with Tom Hanks. Actors such as Emma Watson have even vouched for him saying that he definitely is a wholesome, sweet, and down to Earth actor.

3. Nightmare: Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe was said to be very hot headed and a nightmare to work with on set. However, one director who worked with Crowe stood out and defended him, saying that Crowe was difficult when he was not trusting.

The director, Curtis Hanson, further added that Crowe was very committed to his characters and he only acted difficult when other people didn’t take the characters seriously.

4. Delight: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

The Rock is loved by pretty much everyone that gets the opportunity to film with him. His costar Zac Efron shared his experience working with The Rock on Baywatch: “He’s a funny dude. He’s always expanding, and he just gets better as he goes, like a flower that never stops blooming. But it was great, he was fantastic.”

5. Nightmare: Lea Michele

Lea Michele seems to have more in common with her character on Glee than we thought. She is said to be a nightmare to work with and people were definitely complaining.

Samantha Ware accused Michele of “traumatic microaggressions” that made Samantha’s time on the show a “living hell.”Heather Morris also admitted working with Michele was very unpleasant.

6. Delight: Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep is one actress that people absolutely loved working with. Most of her costars said that calling her anything other than great, just didn't even sound right.

7. Nightmare: Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts actually was deemed terrible to work with after Peter Pan. However, it's said that she was going through a breakup at the time of filming, so this may have been the reasoning behind her actions.

8. Delight: Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman has been said to be very nice and delightful to work with by almost all of his costars and directors.

9. Nightmare: Teri Hatcher

Teri Hatcher is known to be one of the worst actors to work with. It's said that she actually didn't get along with any of the actors on the Real Housewives and some people called her the "meanest woman alive."

10. Delight: Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves is said to be one of the best actors to work with. He's super sweet, nice to everyone, and people don't have a bad thing to say about him.

Well, this is an interesting list. We really can't blame people for their opinions, but it's interesting to see how people classify these actors.

Some of them were a bit of a surprise to us, but others we weren't as surprised about based on the things we've heard. We have to give some of the benefits of the doubt, but regardless, some actors need to get it together.
