What is the worst career decision an actor has ever made?

Unfortunately some posters refuse to actually read the posts in context

Word it's not about him turning down a "slave" movie, it's about him turning down a role written for him to do by an acclaimed director and yet he chooses to do average or wack stuff in contrast. Let's put this in real context: He turns down the chance to do a movie with DiCaprio, Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington, Walton Googins, James Remar, Don Johnson and directed by Tarantino but did the very meh Men in Black 3, a cameo in Winter's Tale and the Shyamalan directed After Earth..yeah, turning down Django wasn't a bad move at all

TO some of these people, having a shyt ton of money is the only measure of success, so taking mediocre and safe roles with terrible directors is better than taking risks, working with great directors, and still making great money. Oh well.

How is he still making Hollywood money with all the garbage shyt he's done

Sorry brehs.... Will cant be in EVERY gotdamn movie.... what is he supposed to be DANIEL BRYAN? Let other black actors cook and get movie money. Jamie did his thing in that movie and he needed it much more than Will.

Yasmine Bleeth saying no to Seven and LA Confidential

Shocked I wasn't called out on this lie.

I don't think anyone cared about yasmine bleeth

It wasn't outrageous enough to acknowledge; it was blatantly ridiculous but you chose someone that people stopped checking for back in the mid 1990s in magazines

True but it's 95 fincher. Fresh off of alien 3 and still directing music videos. Wouldn't surprise me if a hot actress or actor from then could've been shoved down his throat

It's a bad move because it's him passing up good movies by good directors and picks stuff like After Earth to be in or that cameo he made in that romance drama from last year as Satan

i doubt wil smith is losing sleep having not worked with tarintino, their was also more variables that made after earth more enticing, bigger payday and the chance to exercise his right to practice nepotism.Looking at the title of this thread again i chuckle at the notion wil smith not playing a slave at this juncture of his career is a mistake let alone the biggest ever made

He probably isn't losing sleep but again he passed up the chance to be in another dope movie and picked trash in its place. That's twice now. This thread isn't about choices that caused for careers to end because a lot of these people we're saying all still have careers, some of them are thriving despite the fumbles but it's about the worst career decisions and in my book, homie turning down the matrix and Django are his two worst career decisions especially when I see what he did instead of them: Wild Wild West and after earth. Those are mistakes and luckily he's been able to survive in spite of it nor does he need the money or the notoriety. Hopefully Focus does well for him

No I would've loved to have seen one of my favorite actors be in a movie I'm interested in by one of my favorite directors and see him step outside of his comfort zone and challenge himself and make an interesting choice. Along with be in another academy award nominated flick. It's the main reason I'm excited about him being in suicide squad because it's different for him; it's not a typical will smith role and it shows he's trying to stretch and challenge himself as he gets older which is always a good thing. I like to see good actors do good work man, not wallow in doing the same old safe stuff they normally do. That gets boring
