Actors Who Inexplicably Disappeared

[the last son]

Sinbad and Robert Townsend. Wesley Snipes shouldn't have been black balled either.

 

[Kuwolski]

Always thought Jason Patric would have been much bigger. He gave some great performances early on, started getting momentum, then I barely see him for long stretches.

 

[AverageMan]

Sean William Scott those goon movies are good but nothing much aside from those

You could argue that all of the American Pie cast have fallen off a cliff. Jason Biggs does the odd thing here & there but the ones who played Kev and Finch & Oz have literally disappeared!

 

[terry78]

It's hilarious that Alyson hannigan became the most well known out of that whole cast.

Same with Michael Biehn.

 

[samsnee]

They all just got aged out of roles. There’s always someone younger.

 

[OutOfBoose]

It feels like I didn't see anything from Edward Norton since Hulk '08.

Birdman was 2014 I think.

He was supposed to reprise Banner in The Avengers but got replaced with Ruffalo because supposedly Norton is difficult and didn’t have a good working relationship with Marvel.

LOL yeah, I remember Feige's statement about him. "Our other actors aren't total d-bags like Edward, so we decided to part ways with him. Also, he sucked in Incredible Hulk."

He said something about Ruffalo being a “team player”, with the implication that Norton wasn’t.

 

[samsnee]

Because he isn’t. He’s a brilliant talent but is known to rewrite the script on his own.

He has a cameo at the end of Alita Battle Angel setting up the sequel. Who knows if that will happen.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

He was outstanding as Henry Standing Bear in Longmire.

Haven't seen that but just looked it up and it looks interesting - shame that it's ended. I liked his TV show Wolf Lake some years ago. I remember him turning up in Numb3rs every now and then as well.

I remember him saying that.

 

[terry78]

I guess even *******s can be team players.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Fairuza Balk....

Where the hell did she go? I used to love her.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

He was also in one of the Bourne movies. The bad one.

 

[bapi]

I think Hardy will eventually move back to England and / or focus on tv series.

 

[bapi]

A lot of actresses make 1, 2 or 3 big movies and then totally dissapear. Berenice Marlohe, Moon Bloodgood, Gemma Arterton, Lynn Collins, Bridget Moynahan, Freida Pinto etc. Guess Katherine Heigl and Kate Beckinsake are too old now.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Katherine Heigl screwed herself. She pissed off way too many people, and it wasn’t a good move when she talked s**t about her own show (Grey’s Anatomy).

Now she’s in kitty litter commercials. Smh.

 

[Schlosser85]

Hardy has always lived in England apart from filming a movie.

 

[Schlosser85]

I totally forgot he was in that. Granted, I usually forget about the whole movie.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Bridget Moynahan is on Blue Bloods.

Freida Pinto. Last thing I saw her in was Mowgli directed by Andy Serkis.

Now she’s in kitty litter commercials. Smh.

She’s really in kitty litter commercials now? Jesus.

To be fair to Heigl, she got a lot of **** for behavior that probably wasn’t half as bad as what a lot of male actors have gotten away with. When a female performer has an attitude, she gets a reputation for being difficult to work with, meanwhile actors like Christian Bale and Ed Norton can be total A-holes and that just adds to their mystique as method actors or whatever. Now, you could make the argument that Heigl doesn’t have the talent to back up her ego (and you would be right), however, it’s no secret that Hollywood is sexist as hell.

 

[Schlosser85]

To be fair, I think Norton being difficult caught up with him. It also hurt Russell Crowe. He's still around, but he was never again the hot leading man he once was after he roughed up that producer backstage. And it may even be part of why Tom Hardy has slowed down.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I agree that their behavior caught up with them but they still appeared in a lot of things and continue to. Though Heigl did have that long string of bad rom coms so maybe her career taking a nosedive was also due to bad choices.

 

[terry78]

Heigl has been on Suits for the last couple seasons though it's ending pretty soon.
