The Jazz Singer (1980) Unfrosted (2024) The Razzie Award for Worst Actor is an award presented at the annual Golden Raspberry Awards to the worst actor of the previous year. The following is a list of nominees and recipients of that award, along with the film(s) for which they were nominated.

The category of "actor" has expanded to include the subjects of documentary films; this process has been criticized. Six winners of this award have come from appearances as themselves: George W. Bush, The Jonas Brothers, Dinesh D'Souza, Donald Trump, Mike Lindell and LeBron James. Five of these came from appearances in documentaries; LeBron James' came from Space Jam: A New Legacy.
