6. Screech (Dustin Diamond, Saved by the Bell’)

The voice, a badly aged TV show, the DVD of chess instructions and the sex tape. Car crash lifestyle up there with the best of them.

5. Dakota Fanning

Suffering from the curious and freaky condition of being far too mature for her years, Dakota seems eternally caught in the head lights, over acting to within an inch of her life, blubbering and emoting on cue like a trained puppy. It just doesnt sit well.

4. Hilary Duff has of course matured and gone the way of lads mags and image changes but she was in her day the first of the current crop of all singing, all dancing, sure to end up on drugs child stars manuifactured by Disney. Her show was intolerable, its cheese factor on overload. Then savvy suit decided to stand her in front of a microphone, sell millions of records, have sell out concerts for pcoket money laden kids and all the while and forever defile the word ‘music’ by having this bland talentless girl associated with it.  

3. Short Round (Jonathan Qu QuandShort - ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’

This clip should cover the annoyance

2. Spritle (Paulie Litt - ‘Speed Racer’)

Read of my disdain for this character in my Speed Racer review here from a while back, otherwise I think this picture says it all!

1. Ani, (Jake Lloyd, ‘Star Wars; The Phantom Menace’)

Seemingly a precious little brat during filming Jake Lloyd has thankfully made no further notable appearances on our screens, though he has lended his voice to other Star Wars media. Staring at Liam Neeson, like a Barney background child, asking what metachlorians were you can’t help but think of Harrison Fords quip to George Lucas while making the original Star Wars ‘ You can write this shit, but you sure as hell can’t say it’.
