Turning it around a bit...
I think my opinion of the actor is heavily colored by the scripts/films they elect to do.
Sure, there are times someone has to take a role just for the $,
but over a career it is their own personal choices they make.
Exactly. Asshats often choose asshat mainstream roles that make them lots o' money because of appeal to the unwashed masses. I have no respect for that: it's not acting, it's not art. Their personality is dim, so picking enlightened or brilliant roles doesn't enter into it (and often they would suck at it anyway.)

But I don't like a lot of the crap movies out there.
