Actors and Actresses who fell off the face of the planet

[Rocketman]

Ever watch a star in a movie from the 90's or early 2000's and suddenly think to yourself, "What the hell happened to him/her?"

I'll start with one that still bothers me to this day.

Rachael Leigh Cook

She had huge potential and was repeatedly hailed as the next Julia Roberts. And then she literally disappeared.

If it weren't for this year's Soul Surfer, I would've mentioned Helen Hunt too.

Christopher Lloyd

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Michael Keaton.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Keaton was in Very Bad Cop last tear and still do stuff http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000474/

 

[TX85]

Steve Gutenberg

Rick Moranis

 

[Project862006]

Keatons career basically died after Batman.
He's only been in minor side roles or little movies since.

I always wanted to see him get more roles.



I think Christopher Lyodd is retired but it was cool to see him cameo in Pirahna 3-D

 

[Sawyer]

He's working behind the camera now, so I dont think he really counts.

 

[jacobed]

Rick Moranis retired

Funny you say Fred Savage, I watched The Boy Who Could Fly recently for the first time in about 20 years and was thinking what the hell happened to him. Not just him either, the girl in that film really wowed me and IMO had the potential to become a really great actress but for whatever reason quit acting not long after.

 

[Call Me Darkman]

Fred Savage is a TV director now.

 

[Octoberist]

Fred Savage directed a few episodes of the underrated show 'Party Down'.

 

[Octoberist]

Here's a good one: Leelee Sobieski

She had potential but now she's stuck doing small roles and guess spots on TV shows like Drop Dead Diva.

I thought of her but then remembered she was in Public Enemies. It all seemed to go downhill after the Wicker Man. I hope she can bounce back.

That and more...

Steve Gutenberg's career dying was a blessing, for me at least.

 

[Sawyer]

How dare you.

I was about to post these same responses, *raises glasses* "Weeeelll, you see..."

Thank you two for being awesome.

EDIT: Also, Sawyer too. But that's a given.

 

[Wheels]

How dare you.

Gutenberg is one rung above Paulie Shore on the acting ladder.

If there's a ladder, Paulie Shore hasn't even stepped on it.
