Teri Hatcher.

Edward Furlong seems to be at the B-movies for years.

Think Furlong had addiction issues,
Hatcher is a television actress, last saw her on a random episode of Supergirl, was channel hopping so not sure whether she's on all the time

Biff from the Back to the future films. I've never seen him in anything else.

Young anakin skywalker sky walked into crime and drugs and depression and I’ve heard of old anakin again but will check IMDb now

Edit
Old anakin is quite busy but under the radar

Josh Hartnett. Made a bit of a comeback in Penny Dreadful a few years back but there was a big gap of nothing before then and very little since PD

Unhinged? Decent movie to pass the time. Bit silly in places but entertaining

Yeah I thought it was pretty good.

His girlfriend looks a lot like Ron Jeremy.

Apparently another one of those "difficult to work with" actors.

Yes, I’ve heard that many times. In particular, the “Italian Job” remake which wasn’t a bad movie at all, very watchable. But by all accounts, Ed did not want to be in it, apparently his hand was forced by a contractural obligation. I remember watching promos and cast interviews for that movie and Ed was conspicuous by his absence.

That Furlong photo is from over a year ago, apparently he's off that road again.

I can imagine him in it and I think he'd have been excellent. Hard to imagine anyone better than Ian McKellan, but if it was to be someone else he'd have been an excellent choice.

The original choice was Christopher Lee.

It would have been good to see him play a wizard in a Lord Of The Rings movie

Cameron Diaz

She retired in 2014, don't know the reason.

Paul Hogan was very busy from the 80s into the 00s, then nada.
Heven't seen him since Crocodile Dundee 3.
His wife and co-star Linda Kowolski vanished from movies too.

Steven Seagal, where do you start?

Straight to video. Uses a body double for stunts. And long shots. And shots from behind, actually for anything where his face isn't visible on the screen.

Very busy too, he has been cranking out crap like nobody's business for years.

Sharon Tate mentioned yet?

Yes and you aren't missing anything, they had really run out of ideas after the sequel.

I looked up Tom Berenger as he seemed to just drop off the Earth.
He has actually been averaging about 3 films a year for ages

Hogan has had long running tax issues with the Australian revenue, must be pushing 80 now

Did Nick Nolte ever clean up his act?
Apparently he didn't even know he was in Hulk until it came out.
He was so out of his box he had absolutely no recollection of making it.

Eric Stoltz a blast from the past. He was making a name for himself at one stage.

Getting cut from being Marty McFly probably didn’t help.

Olivia Newton-John - Grease, then she was in Xanadu which was a rollerskating movie with a ghost sidekick. It's even worse than it sounds - totally killed her career.

It's so ridiculously bad at this point that he often visibly leans on future and other set objects for support and no-one seems to care.

Some of them are absolutely amazing to watch from a sort of "so unbelievably terrible they're hilariously good" mindset with friends.
