Actors/Actresses: Who Faded Into Obscurity

[Black Narcissus]

Bridgette Wilson

I remember her from Billy Madison and from playing Sonya in the Mortal Kombat movie. She sure was easy on the eyes.

Two Words: LeeLee Lobieski.
What's sad is that she's not even old. She's like 30-31 by now? Still in her prime.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Rick Moranis exiled himself after his wife passed away. He's popped up as an award winning country singer, but he's been out of films for 10 years or more.

 

[Octoberist]

With Rick, to be fair, I think he did the right thing and just raised his kids. I think one day, he'll do some work but it was a conscious decision on his part, vs. poor choices or a bad agent.

A cameo in the new GB movie would be good.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

I've found sometimes an actor will come out with two big movies one year then poof they're gone.

Like Sam Worthington with Avatar and Terminator. Since then I can't think of any big films he's been in.

Clash of the Titans
That one movie where he is about to jump from a goddamn building.

The dude was way over exposed and chose the wrong projects.

Did she get punched by my boy, Nicolas Cage? I think she wears a bear suit in that movie.

David Morse

 

[Schlosser85]

Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton

 

[terry78]

Linda Hamilton seems content with doing tv I think.

 

[C. Lee]

Bridgette Wilson and Leelee both seem to be concentrating on raising their kids (like Rick Moranis).

David Morse just finished 3 seasons of TREME.

Sam Worthington costarred in Schwarzenneger's last movie SABOTAGE and has around 7 movies in the works (not including the 3 AVATAR sequels Cameron is planning).

Bridgette Wilson

I remember her from Billy Madison and from playing Sonya in the Mortal Kombat movie. She sure was easy on the eyes.

I was thinking of her just the other day. She hasn't done any media work since 2008, but she does have 2 kids. Probably opted to be a full time mother. She's apparently a singer, had CDs released in Japan to some acclaim. I never knew that.

David Morse

I've always loved this guys work. Especially in the Green Mile. I always thought he would have made a great Kingpin.

 

[Airwings]

Edward Furlong, Elijah Wood, Macaulay Culkin, Ralph Macchio, Christian Slater, Anthony Michael Hall, Matthew Broderick, Burt Reynolds, Terence Hill & Bud Spencer etc etc

 

[terry78]

Elijah just does a lot of indie stuff now. He makes money but not Hobbit money.

 

[Warhammer]

Judd Nelson. That dude's career sank after Steel.

 

[KenK]

Judd Nelson. That dude's career sank after Steel.

I think there are more people who didn't even realize he WAS in Steel. Annabeth Gish seems to be doing alright. She was on FX's The Bridge last year, and now she's on the final season of Sons of Anarchy. Judd needs him a basic cable show to kickstart his career.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Edward Furlong, Elijah Wood, Macaulay Culkin, Ralph Macchio, Christian Slater, Anthony Michael Hall, Matthew Broderick, Burt Reynolds, Terence Hill & Bud Spencer etc etc

Elijah Wood has been on that Wilfred show for the past 3 years.

 

[Duke]

Helen Hunt. Whatever happened to her after What Women Want??!!!



Patricia Richardson. It seems her career bombed right after Home Improvement. LOL

 

[jmc]

Big one for me was Alicia Silverstone. She burst on to the scene with Clueless and never hit that height again. She was an 'it girl' but she wasn't just a pretty face, she had talent and sadly never reached her full potential.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Edward Furlong, Elijah Wood, Macaulay Culkin, Ralph Macchio, Christian Slater, Anthony Michael Hall, Matthew Broderick, Burt Reynolds, Terence Hill & Bud Spencer etc etc

He's on Broadway.

I think doing Batman & Robin sealed her fate, after that she couldn't recover not even with Excess Baggage.

 

[C. Lee]

Helen Hunt. Whatever happened to her after What Women Want??!!!

Nominated for an OSCAR for best actress in THE SESSIONS (2012).

 

[Fallen Angel]

Hillary Swank a one hit wonder for Million Dollar Baby? Where is she now?

 

[kguillou]

Chris Tucker. But i think it was very consciously done. He basically made a few million and decided to call it quits and enjoy his money. Cant help but respect that.
