I just scrolled quickly and didn't see it but the guy who played Peck ( William Atherton) in Ghostbusters the first one. Evidently he was not well received after the movie, least for awhile. He was a great at playing asshole characters in the 80s.

Negan raised some pretty badass kids though. They stopped Armageddon!
That fuck head in Spartacus. Fucking Ashur. I hated his name so much I can't hear that name without getting mad.
Yes I will still watch this if it ever gets made.

Surprising that it still happens these days...
I mean, in the early days of TV sure, I know people in the 50s used to send blankets to an actress because she played a character that was poor and they would throw mud at the actor who played her husband because he was an asshole... But these days? Dang, get over it, they're just doing their job!

I believe Carroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker) used to get people yelling at him for being a bigot.
Does Will Weaton count? Wesley Crusher want supposed to be hated, it just turned out that way and Weaton took a rasher of shit for that role.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan?? How could anyone hate the Kentucky fried southerner from Seattle?? I stopped watching "the walking dead" before they got to his part. I started watching "the boys" because I hear he is joining the cast next season.
Give "Rampage" a shot and tell me you don't love that man.

I don't know anything about Richard Kind in real life, whether he's chill or an asshole, or whatever.
But in the TV show Stargate Atlantis, he plays a man named Lucius Lavin (pronounced lovin') who is by far and away the most annoying antagonist to grace the show. He appears in two episodes, named similarly as he basically does the same thing in a different way. Great small time "villain" who has sinister potential, but is just starting out.
Absolutely made me hate the actor, and I refused to watch some things because he was in them.
Incidentally, he surprised me in a few shows as side characters, also annoying.
No idea what he's like for real though, so maybe he is annoying and unlikeable.

I liked Joffrey and I say this as someone who did not enjoy GoT as much as the rest of the world seemed to.
Joffery was one of the best castings in the show. Sucks Jack Gleeson got so much hate for the roll he's genuinely a great guy.
Hands down Claes Bang as 'the prick' from the show Bad Sisters. I'm pretty sure I'll have a visceral dislike of any character I see him play in the future.
