Hatebox Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ^ Ben Affleck's probably loving his career right now, so it may be a tad unfair having him on the list. The rest I'd agree with. As someone who quite likes Colin Farrell I hope he realises his strength is as a character actor and chooses films accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 You are right. But Ben did flop as a actor at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommycruise Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Brendan Fraser- Most of his movie choices were very poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Scottb Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 What about Val Kilmer? His career has pretty much stalled since Batman Forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I don't know if Colin Farrell should be on there... sure there was Alexander and recently Total Recall, but he won a Golden Globe just three years ago for In Bruges. And he has a potential to be really good again in Seven Psychopaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 You are right. But Ben did flop as a actor at the time.At the time sure, but then between Hollywoodland (Golden Globe/BFCA noms for Supporting Actor), State of Play, The Town, and now Argo he's reclaimed his acting career's reputation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toymaker Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Lindsay LohanOrlando BloomJesseca AlbaThat's very complimentary calling these three actors.Bloom is one of the worst actors I've ever seen, Lohan is a druggie, and Alba doesn't know how to anything besides look gorgeous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I dont want to speak ill of the dead, but Michael Clarke Duncan career didn't really go anywhere outside voice acting after The Green Mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I dont want to speak ill of the dead, but Michael Clarke Duncan career didn't really go anywhere outside voice acting after The Green MileUnlike others mentioned in this thread though, he's not really someone that Hollywood tried to turn into a major star.

rockNrollaDIM Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Sometimes I wonder why actors who have made a career in film "lower" themselves to TV, and then I watch the shows and realize it's better than 90% of the stuff they'd get as a studio film actor (I'm looking at you Claire Danes).
