Yeah, he was even rumoured to be Bond at the time.
For some reason, I thought Julian McMahon was going places.
Adrien Brody seemed like he had really arrived with The Pianist.
I actually didn't hear that so good on Disney/Marvel for that. Her career is just blooming but Jing Tian would be great for that.
Thought Tobey Maguire would be B I G after Spider-Man. Never hear about him anymore
Robert Patrick in Terminator 2
He was amazing in this movie, but that's all anyone really knows him for.
I came into this thread thinking I'd for sure be the only one to bring up Enver Gjokaj
At the time, I remember rumors Marcus Chong wanted top billing along with the other stars and actually brought a gun to one of the meetings as sort of a passive threat. Googling it now and apparently he was arrested for making verbal threats to the producers.
I don't know why people keep bringing him up, I haven't watched The Crown, but he was quite awful as The Doctor. Overall an insufferable clown. Some of that is on Moffat's horrid writing, but most of the time he didn't even try to salvage it.
I'm amused by the idea of him googling his own name and discovering that on this random forum we all really like him
Michael Biehn
he was in Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Tombstone
then he just kinda fell off the map, hes great, he should have been in alot more things
he came in at the last minute to fill in for someone else on Aliens and he look completely comfortable made it look effortless, he had alot of potential
him being the main character in blood dragon was excellent
Garrett Dillahunt. He can do everything from terrifying to being the most lovable buffoon you have ever seen.
He was so good in Deadwood that they killed him off and brought him back as a different character.
Him
also him from the same series as two different people.
When I used to deal blackjack in a casino in Palm Springs, the oldest Home Improvement kid used to come in and play. He was kind of a dick. I think he just made a bunch of money from that and coasted.I always thought that one of the kids from Home Improvement would end up getting some kind of notable career for some reason.
Billy Campbell was incredible on The 4400. In fact, that was another show with tons of great actors who weren't as famous as they probably deserve. Took waaaaayyy longer for Mahershala Ali to get famous than it should have.Billy Campbell for me.
I really wish people liked The Rocketeer when it came out, it was a true gem.

Adrien Brody
I mean he's had a good career by most measures but after his Oscar win I expected him to reach the level of people like George Clooney as a prestige A lister.
Cuba Gooding Jr
What the fuck man, you have the worst agent ever or you yourself have the absolute worst sense for picking roles.
When I watched Freaks & Geeks years ago I was surprised that Linda Cardellini's career didn't take off as much as Rogen, Franco or Segel's. She was in Scooby Doo and ER but not much of interest beyond that... until recently. Being in the MCU and starring in a Netflix show like Bloodline gave her a bit of a comeback.
Michael Fassbender
Dude needs to have fired his agent yesterday
How's Billy Zane doing these days? I last saw him in the third direct-to-dvd Scorpion King film.
I'm probably not the only one that thought that Jon Hamm had a leading man future after Mad Men, but it has yet to materialize.
Wow, that's 4 Scorpion King movies I had never heard of.
Hamm prefers doing comedies and small parts. I don't think he ever really expected or wanted his career to go in the leading man direction.
Luke Perry. With Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, he may have finally been able to reach his potential as a star...
Sad.
I'd say I hope he lands a comedic lead, but I don't know if Hollywood has many of those roles left.
I like how they constantly look increasingly cheap until the end, but you just know that's the cheapest of them all.

In terms of actual talent and the shit or lack of roles they get, yeah this is a good answer. A bunch of shit and only 2 out of 4 good X-Men movies.Michael Fassbender

Karl Urban is like Sam Rockwell or Michael Shannon. Always a welcome presence in a film. They're probably not the star but you know they'll bring the goods every time.
Just thinking about this guy. Yeah, he had the look and everything. Could have potentially had Joseph Gordon Levitt's career, but I guess he just fell off.Emile hirsch (Speed Racer, The Girl Next Door, Into the Wild.)
Too bad he publicly took a swing at a female producer.
