Nobody hates you - what you're describing could be called a "character actor". It's very common and a perfectly normal thing in show-business. People in the film/entertainment industry, especially actors have very thick skins when it comes to this kind of stuff. From my experiences working with actors on sets, the fact that someone is a character actor doesn't mean anything less, it's still work and it still requires acting. People who comment on performances often have no idea that most of the work is quite tedious and mechanical. Sometimes someone being a good actor means they're easy to work with and professional. Most of the time film editing changes the actual performance anyways, so what you see on the screen is often a totally different matter. Also reputations of actors like Robert De Niro are manufactured and are part of the 'product' or 'brand'. You aren't a fan of the brand, that's fine, those people know what they're doing and they know who is their fanbase.
