Or you thought theyd be bigger than they were, or were kinda big for a second but then faded out.

I loved Cillian Murphy and thought he was gonna be the next great movie star but he never caught the publics eye as much as I expected.

i thought of this topic last night and had like five names and now I cant think of any others. Im sure theyll come back to me

Yeah, I was never really a fan, but that one makes sense

Anna Farris is another one. Loved her in waiting and smilie face and the house bunny. Though I guess a lot of these people probably got a role on a tv series and just stuck with that as long as they could, like she did on Mom

I never saw him in anything not Star Wars where he is just.. a terrible actor. I also remember Jumper coming out and getting critically panned, though I never saw it.

is he actually any good? It wouldnt surprise me, with how bad the writing and directing of the prequels were

Im not surprised, hes in all his other movies. Batman begins is where I first saw him, then red eye then 28 days later, and I was like this dude is going to be a star and then I feel like I never saw him again in anything unless Nolan was directing.

then peaky blinders which I havent watched

I feel like with kids like that its easier to explain. Puberty, they arent as cute as they once were, they arent actually good actors they were just good kid actors.

Im more looking for people who are actually good actors who just never took off like you thought they would.

Daniel Radcliffe (from what I remember reading) is so rich from Harry Potter he can just do whatever the fuck he wants now, and thats why he only does weird things

Elijah wood has had a pretty big impact, and his situation might be similar. He also does some pretty weird projects, like Wilfred and his role in sin city and stuff

The rock is honestly surprising to me that he is such a big star, coming from wrestling and his ps2 cgi in the mummy returns. And he is legitimately terrible in the scorpion king. But after I saw the rundown I was like woah this guy actually has a lot of talent and obviously is one of the most likable people ever.

leonardo DiCaprio was obvious after catch me if you can.

but thinking of the rundown, Ill put Sean William Scott in there.

I wonder how many good actors out there just had shitty agents, or simply gave up due to lack of confidence.

He still has time, though I will be honest.. most of his movies KINDA suck balls. I fuckin hated bohemian rhapsody, but beyond that he has no time to die (which I didnt see but it was pretty divided), the little things which looked like it was gonna be great and was terrible, night at the museum, need for speed, battleship..

He has a large body of work and was given a couple chances in movies, but hes much better as a character actor than a leading man.

one of my favorites of all time, but I can see why he didnt take off

Tusk is weird. It doesnt excel enough at horror or comedy to work well as either.

Also Justin Longs character is written as kind of a douche, but then you end up feeling bad for him because hes going through all the body horror stuff. So you end up with this protagonist you dont like, but have pity for. Its a weird movie.
