Who are some actors you feel like Hollywood tried to force on us, but didn't make it?

[Kill Dat Noize]

John oliver easily has the best late night show on television. Its not even close. And the shows a huge success. Most people wanted him to take over for jon stewart.

do you like the show for it's format and it's content, or because john oliver is really that fun to watch.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

fukkin Ryan Phillippe

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Both.

 

[King Crimson]

I was low key looking forward for the rest of the movies cause the story was interesting

Might read the books for the hell of it.

Name some actors Hollywood gave several chances to, but the public ultimately said No.

Justin Long
Sean William Scott
Topher Grace
Russell Brand
Vince Vaughn is pretty much on his last lim.

Topher Grace omg yes. End thread with that one. #GrandOpeningGrandClosing

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

They gave Orlando Jones a chance for a minute too tho.
He was Damn near the goto Goofy black guy in movies

Orlando Bloom. He was in two big franchises (LOTR and Pirates of the Caribbean) but couldn't hack it otherwise.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Chris O'Donnell
Jerry O'Connor

Colin Ferrell

COLIN FARRELL

Jai Courtney
Rebel Wilson
Jason Segal
Ashton Kutcher
Jaden Smith
Taylor Lautner

I second Taylor Lautner

People saying Emma Stone do realize she was just nominated for an Oscar last year right???

No lie, Jennifer Lawrence definitely got the heat right now but now that the hunger games is over with and her last x-men movie is out next year lets see how things work out then. That film Selena got left in purgatory but this Joy movie will probably get her more Oscar buzz.

Nominated for an Oscar doesn't mean her career is blowing up. Plenty of people win Oscars and go on to do squat. Emma had a run (Scarlet A, Zombieland) then Jennifer Lawrence blew in and knocked her ass down the totem pole real quick. J. Law's career took over.

Brand is a weird one cause I feel like he kinda took himself out the game ... Sarah Marshall/GHTTG were legit tho

Also someone mentioned Jonah Hill, IMO Moneyball/WOWS saved him from this cause he's got enough range to be a solid supporting actor

Brand definitely took himself out the game. He got cleaned up (used to be on heavy drugs/alcohol) and divorced Katy Perry (another druggie) and woke up. He had a very successful YouTube channel called The Trews (true news) where he covered current events.



He's on hiatus from the channel now tho

 

[OmegaK2099]

Looks like they're trying with dude who played Kyle Reese in that last terminator

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Everyone who said Amy Schumer has the right answer.

I sat through that Trainwreck movie and she was horrible. No comedic timing. No ability to act. I couldn't escape the media talking about how edgy and great she was supposed to be in this movie and it was straight trash. She wasn't funny in the "funny" parts and I have better "serious" acting skills when I'm ordering fries at the drive thru.

Apatow and them are trying hard to force the world to believe she's talented though.

I feel the same way about the chick that did Bridesmaids. Can't even remember her name. Not funny at all and given this huge push because she's supposed to be SO HILARIOUS

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Lol. This thread is just people naming actors they hate. Ryan Reynolds may not be the best actor out there, but he's far from a failure. That CAC overachieved something serious. Besides, he's not even that bad of an actor.

Those saying:
Taylor Kitsch
Sam Worthington
Jai Courtney

Holy shyt, I forgot about this guy. He's a real chicken or the egg type. Did he ruin the pre-quel flicks, or did the pre-quel flicks ruin his career?

Yeah I like Ryan Reynolds. The Proposal is my shyt

Hayden was terrible in that magic powers movie (Jumper??) so I think he ruined the prequel flicks lol

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

I don't know if they have been listed yet, as I haven;t gotten to the end of the thread, but Kirsten Dunst snaggled-tooth ass was ALWAYS on my screen and she ALWAYS got on my nerves. Also, the entire Twilight cast, but I' a Twilightie, so you'll hear no complaints from me on that one.

Kristen Stewart could not act her way out of a paper bag yet she keeps getting these big roles. It's truly baffling how commited they are to making her a star.

 

[Conz]

there are so many TV actors who get pilot after pilot for some reason. This dude for instance David Walton - IMDb is death to a show yet he's been headlining them time after time
