Ben Afleck.
Tobey Maguire (is there a more bland dude in the world? Talk about no range at all.)
Nope. I assume it happens more times than not, but mostly for chicks that are on the fringe all of the time....like Olivia Munn. She good looking and all, but she just doesn't have it so I assume she banged her way up to that G4 hosting gig and went from there. I doubt the ones with actual talent have to do that much. Also, I'd be willing to bet the mom's and dad's of child actors hoe'd themselves out something fierce for parts in movies. I'd bet my car Dina Lohan slept with a bunch of directors for Lindsey to get some parts.
Gosling and Renner have earned their stripes brehs. They have been doin' work.
Vin Diesel was definitely being pushed as the next big action star but I can't front on how profitable the Fast series is and its still going strong.
I always thought pitch black was piff plus he can dance

Channing tatum, ryan reynolds, and The Twilight cast are the biggest offenders of this right now. I remember them trying to push Jude Law like this a a few years ago
Jude Law is decent though....American films just are crap for him...
