If IMDb essentially serves as an online résumé for actors, directors, writers, musicians and the like, then wouldn't it make sense for the profile photo uploaded to match that person's body of work in quality? We certainly thought so, but that's not the philosophy behind these photos. From strange facial expressions to just straight-up horrible pictures, whoever was responsible for putting these photos front and center as a representation of these famous celebrities should truly be ashamed of themselves (if they didn't make us laugh, we mean).
Kyle Gass
This picture is from the premiere of "Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny," starring Jack Black and Kyle Gass himself. But to those who are unfamiliar with that film or Tenacious D's unique brand of comedy, it kind of just looks like a crazy fat guy in a crown. Kind of absolutely.

Chris Noth
How was this guy not immediately cast in the TV show "Hannibal" with a profile pic like that? We wouldn't recommend mimicking it for your online dating profile, either.

Alice Cooper
While this photo does make him look like a cranky senior citizen, at least he opted out of using this one instead. But even that photo would at least serve as a better representation of his "Godfather of Shock Rock" status than the grumpy old man look.

Aretha Franklin
She's an American icon, so how about posting a picture of her that doesn't look like she's eyeing up the buffet at Golden Corral.

C'mon, dude. This is your profile picture, not your best impression of Gilbert Gottfried.

Will Friedle
At least he's even slightly recognizable in this picture. This is the older brother from "Boy Meets World," by the way. While that show is probably what he is most recognized for, what he is definitely NOT most recognized for is National Lampoon's "Gold Diggers." We only mention this because that's what his profile picture is from.

Angelina Pivarnick
Clearly she's trying really hard not to pigeonhole herself in any way as the "obnoxious bitch" type with this photo. Let's hope it works out for her.

Andy Tennant
Does he have to fart? Is he currently having a stroke? In either case, that's probably not the photo to go with, especially considering every other photo on his page looks considerably better.

John Malkovich
In all honesty, we had to look at other photos of John Malkovich first to make sure he isn't actually cross-eyed. But once we realized he's not, this profile photo easily made the cut.

Jada Pinkett Smith
Jada Pinkett Smith is a very attractive woman, is she not? Then can someone explain to us how this atrocity wound up being her profile image. Seriously, dead animals on the side of the road have less lifeless expressions on their faces than this. Is it possible that this is actually from a wax museum?

Amy Winehouse
So much for honoring the late singer's memory with a decent photo of her that also doesn't make her look completely insane.

Brendan Fraser
To be fair, the schlubby loser look does encapsulate most Brendan Fraser films pretty well. But if that was the case, then why not just screencap this old gem and post it instead?

Shah Rukh Khan
Finally, a profile picture with an actual story behind it. Apparently, the color photo of this image was requested, but the black and white was used instead. We have to agree, there is a drastic difference. And now for the part you all knew was coming: KHAAAAAAAN!

It's really easy to confuse this picture for a man at first glance ... and second ... and third. That's all we're saying.

The director of very serious dramas like "American History X" looks like the ultimate wizard hybrid - Gandalf and Harry Potter.

Maybe it's just us, but we'd be cool with a little less male package when it comes to profile photos on IMDb. Yes, we're talking directly to you, Thomas Lennon.

Sean Young
Now this one, however, wouldn't even pass as a decent Facebook pic. It's awful. When it comes to such a well-established actress who has gotten no shortage of work since the 1980s, we suppose it doesn't matter all that much what photo is used. Still, this one looks like a stranger snapped it with their Blackberry five years ago.

Doug Benson
Some of his past roles include "Buckaroo Waiter," "Cool Costumes Guy" and "Weird Nathan," so we at least understand his profile pic. Regardless, unless he's looking to be cast next as "Male Blow-up Doll," he might want to consider looking into changing it.

Veronica Grey
Along with this photo being easily the worst of the batch, literally every other photo on her page would make equally bad profile pictures. And there are 81 of them!
