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

I expected more from Matthew Perry, I'll be honest. Him and Luke Perry (Dylan McKay)
Thing is while he had the swagger, Jason Priestley actually had the throwback James Dean look down pat. The fact that tombstone (and the minor part in eye of the beholder) was the only serious role he got at the height of his fame was somewhat mystifying
Was given 2 major movies and didn't captialize. Another one who got steam rolled by the Hathaway train
what could she have done? She wasn't particularly easy on the eyes or an exemplary actress

I agree with that. While Perry had friends, hollywood already decided Brad Pitt was their guy. Have to wonder if Perry was casted in Interview with a Vampire, if things would be different. Pitt is not that much better than him or even someone like Ben Savage.

Neither was Anne but she capitalized on her big shot. I don't know how you can't be at least b-list playing the best friend all the time like Olivia Wilde.

Almost 4 years between major movies? Her fault, and she got replaced too.

Great post.


Ok, lets start with Ryan Reynolds. He had a run at first, post Blade trinity.He had some fun leading up to 2010, then after his first marriage he tanked. He needs to be talking to Affleck on how to survive. Emma Stone had a 2.5 year head start. on JLaw. She was the Queen of Summer 2011 remember? The Help, the was big. She had a bad 2013 and her thunder got taken by JLaw. Let's see if she can put it together, she's much better then some of the other actress and definitely better then someone like Aniston. Megan Fox ran her mouth, way too much, and she pissed off Spielberg, same with Shia although shia can act but he should be begging to get back into Transformers again.


Lindsay Lohan despite her fukkery is a very sad case and very important. She was more important then Alba or Biel. Neither of those women were ever going to blow up. Alba kept getting beat for roles by J-Lo and them and Biel decided to leave 7th heaven at the wrong time, she got sonned by Hathaway. Lindsay falling apart left a a vaccum in hollywood that directly lead to the rise of Paris and them. There was no major female star from 2001-07 that was even a draw or a decent actress like Bullock or Roberts. Lindsay was supposed to lead Hollywood into the 21st century like Leo did. We basically went 10 years with Reese being the only major actress under thirty.
You can't just call Megan Fox a legit loser because she came back with hits after Transformer.....and she never faced any REAL backlash from the fans except for the internet geeks who didn't think she could act. She was still showing up at Fan Voted Award shows getting standing ovations.

Heather Locklear should of blown up in the 90s..had a great white girl blonde look.

Shannon Doherty didn't do $hit

Tori Spelling had it easy and didn't mean a fukking thing:laugh:

Tisha Campbell fell after those two shows...

Pam also was hard to find


Craig's sister in Friday disappeared

Jasmine Guy didn't do jack $hit after Harlem Nights....

Kristin Davis had all of that ASS in the 90s and no one put her in any good movies

Sarah Jessica Parker just had that one movie with James Caan when she DID have ass..t.he Vegas movie but that was it.

Anne Hathaway has a much more conventional look though I don't think she took stiles spot (who was always on borrowed time) if anything maybe Portman.

Megan was a Men's Health and Spike TV favorite sure, but she got replaced real quick and it was her fault. I like that you brought up Shannen Doherty. All that talent and only 2 TV shows to show for it . She was the first to start getting trouble all the time. I think Craig's sister din't to her best but Hollywood is not nice to black women

I always thought Portman would be huge though, I knew it even then when I was kid. Here's a question, how was Hathaway any better then Shia's sister on Even Stevens. Hell they all thought in 2001 she would be the one to break out and not Shia.

Replaced by who or what? No one even knows the chick's name and everyone knows that Transformer 3 was inferior to I and 2.

Anne Hathaway is kind of unique looking with the pale skin..she did those damn Disney Princess movies for a second. Then that movie with Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain and the gay shyt. Then Get Smart....Batman...the one with Meryl Streep(Prada something). It started adding up quick. But when I think of Anne Hathaway I always laugh because she almost married a crook..a embezzler or some phony muthafukka that was stealing from other Actors. She was letting this dude bang her up without any condoms if she was legitimately about to marry him. He got exposed and she ended it. If you EVER want to see someone's face be at an ALL TIME high with smiles and happiness and turn to LEGIT instant disgust, just check her out during that Letterman interview when he brought dude up:laugh:

Very true. But lets be serious J-law bascially covered all the bases when she broke out. Emma Stone too. Who was casting Megan Fox over them. Anne is a good story, she is a glee club chick to the core but she did go for it, more then I can say for most disney people.
