You clearly have never seen dirty, shadowboxer was decent it was just untidy.He is still getting work in high profile films like butler and american gangster.And hes currently starring in the anthology series american crime story so lets hold the phone.He might not have turned out to be the next will or denzel but hes doing ok

Never heard of Shadowboxer or Dirty until I looked at his IMDB today. :yeshrug:

Ed Norton trying to take control over some of the movies he's been in and being a pain to directors hurt him. He's one of the best actors to come up in the late 90's The Hulk was like the last straw, but it seems he's been pretty humble since then and is back on track.

Another one is Val Kilmer who is apparently hard to work with on set and he's been basically reduced to straight 2 DVD flicks with 50 Cent. Sucks because he had 2 of what could be considered the greatest performances of the 90's ias Wyatt Earp in Tombstone and Jim Morrison in the Doors.. He was so good as Wyatt Earp that folks didn't even bother to check the Kevin Costner Wyatr Earp movie that came out less than year later.

Small correction, Kilmer played Doc Holliday, not Earp.

Sam Worthington from Avatar and Terminator signing onto those Clash of The Titan movies.

He went from being pushed as the next big thing in Hollywood to being close to irrelevant within the span of a couple of years because of how shytty those movies were. :mjlol:

Luckily for him he's still guarunteed to eat off those Avatar sequels so if he finds a new agent and stays far away from the Clash of the Titans franchise there may still be hope for him.

how come he got such a huge push? just because cameron liked him?

reminds me of that guy from john carter

- John Travolta turning down the starring role in An Officer & a Gentleman, Midnight Express, Forrest Gump and Chicago.

- Jack Nicholson turning down the starring role in 1978's Coming Home to do Goin' South:what:. He could have won another Oscar - and tied Katharine Hepburn at four statues a piece - had he done Coming Home. Nicholson also turned down the starring role in both Apocalypse Now & Rain Man. He's still a bad muthafukka, though.

- Marlon Brando turning down the starring role in The Conversation. The '70s could have been another classic decade for Brando, but he was just so damn lazy after his classic 1972 year. All he wanted to do was eat, fukk those Asian/Tahitian chicks he was infactuated with, and make as much money as he could while doing as little work as possible(See: Superman).

- Elvis Presley turning down the starring role in West Side Story(Killed any chance he had at being a serious actor).

- Nicole Kidman turning down the leading actress role in Chicago. She also refused to do a screen test for the part of Jenny in Forrest Gump.

- Diana Ross screwing up her role in The Bodyguard in 1979, due to her bytchy, diva-like antics during rehearsals. Producers eventually shut the production down, and thus ended Diana's career as a big screen actress. Whitney Houston would play the same role some 13 years later and the rest is history.

- Eddie Murphy turning down Ghostbusters to do Best Defense. He later said the money they offered him to do Best Defense was too good to pass up at the time. Understandable. :ehh:

He also turned down Rush Hour to do Holy Man,:beli: Chris Tucker later got the part in Rush Hour. Inexcusable.


- Alyssa Milano turning down the leading actress role in Speed. She was never able to get her career going in movies.

- Molly Ringwald turned down the leading role in Pretty Woman. I have no idea if the film would've been successful with her, but who knows?

i think shes simply too plain looking to pass as a escort
