30. O.J. Simpson in The Naked Gun

Blame Simpson’s off-screen activity for his placement on this list. In The Naked Gun, Simpson plays Officer Nordberg, a law enforcement agent who always seems to get himself into painful situations. The Hall of Fame running back did a great job in his role on the big screen, getting a ton of laughs for his performance.

Crowds burst out in laughter at some of the antics the former MVP got himself into throughout the film. But it feels unfair to place Simpson any higher on the list due to his criminal history. He did a great job in The Naked Gun, but the movie doesn’t feel the same as it did prior to Simpson’s massive trial.
