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.
