Actors with disappointing Careers..

I was thinking of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels today and it came to me that Nick Moran has never been in anything since that stands out.

The rest of the cast have been in numerous films I remember.

With such an awesome career launching film, he kinda flopped.

Any other people come to mind like this?

elliot out of ET never really went from strength to strength

Macaulay is the obvious one.

Also Kevin Bacon to a (far) lesser degree.

Pretty much the entire cast of Lost.

Michael Emerson in particular. Love the show or hate it his performance as Benjamin Linus was outstanding.

Mark Dacascos is one my favourite "failures". His Capoiera (sp?) skills are immense (just watch "Drive", he's awesome), yet he's relegated to constant straight-to-DVD crud and finally... Iron Chef America.

Mark Hamill. After being Luke I would have thought he'd be everywhere.

What ever happened to Matilda?

Marc Dacascos was awesome in The Crying Freeman(old cheesy manga live film) and in Brotherhood of the Wolf. Ive always wanted him to have a good career.

Shame really.

He's one of the main characters in Person of Interest, which is doing reasonably well. It's far from ground breaking but worth a watch.

Most probably would have if it wasn't for the car accident, fresh faced looks ruined.

Totally. The guy has "star" written all over him, but it just didn't happen. A real shame.

If you haven't seen Drive I'd heartily recommend it for the action sequences. "The Matrix" definitely borrowed a number of elements from the choreography there.

You mean The Matrix (1999) borrowed sequences from Drive (2011)

I think it was the rumoured drug habit and MJ association that did it for him.

~>Dg<~ · 25 Jan 2013 at 23:08

tbh he earned more money than anyone would in those few years what does it really matter

dannyjo22 · 25 Jan 2013 at 23:09

I always liked Cuba gooding jnr, was surprised he seems to have disappeared.

Doing pretty well with Burn Notice.

My vote would have been Nathan Fillion but he's been very successful lately with Castle.
