Hollywood careers that just ended abruptly

B.A._Baracus

A random thread.
But I just happened to switch on an episode of Baywatch there randomly on TV and it guest starred Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie from Saved by the Bell)
The episode in question was in 1992 which was the same year Saved by the Bell ended. This of course is all leading up to her infamous Showgirls movie in 1995.

Only aged 23 when the movie came out her career pretty much ended as the movie was a flop. She would star in movies like Any Given Sunday (1999) but the damage was done.
In a 2015 interview the director of Showgirls, Paul Verhoeven, apologized for her career ending so soon. Not that it was his intention or anything like that. But having made a movie that failed he felt responsible for what he says 'Hollywood blackballing her'.

It's mental looking back. She was young, beautiful, tall, could act and had a rocking body. If you were a betting man, then the (seemingly) smart bet would have been on her.

Anyone else come to mind?

What's The Rock up to these days? Seems all roles he'd be perfect for are going to some guy named Dwayne

Surprised Jami Gertz's career in movies didnt kick on after Twister.
She seemed to be managing the transition from teen roles in 16 Candles, Lost Boys etc into older roles.

Net worth of around $1.5billion

Looks like he has gone back to TV to try and kick start his career again with Young Rock.

Possibly a bit early to be adding him to this list, but Armie Hammer's Hollywood career appears to be effectively over.

Weinstein probably has a better chance of making a comeback

Yeah, the amount of romantic lead parts you get offered tend to dry up when you reveal yourself as a latent cannibal pervert.

He must be in pole position for the remake of Silence of the Lambs though...

That report has some great lines.

“He has never eaten human flesh, he has never drank blood, he has never cut off a toe, he has never locked anybody in a cage, or whatever else is in these crazy messages. These messages definitely shouldn’t be taken literally – even if he did text them,” says a source close to Hammer,

What happened to Brandon Routh? He was the spitting image of Christopher Reeve and was great in Superman Returns. The movie was great and did ok qt the box office. He was dashing and should have had a career as a handsome romantic lead and action star. The franchise got a reboot with Henry Cavill and Routh hasn't been getting great parts since. He was supposed to star as John Clark in a movie version of the Tom Clancy novel Without Remorse then it fell through..

Yahoo Serious, theres a blast from the past. There was a good bit of publicity behind Young Einstein, I remember him appearing on Kenny Live publicising it. Not sure how well it did in Ireland/UK.

James Woods. Probably better known nowadays for his proTrump tweets than acting career. Shame as hes a good actor.

John Cusack. The first I time heard his name mentioned in years was last year when he was tweeting some tinfoil hat conspiracy theories about 5G.

The Cell was the last film I saw him in, with Samuel L Jackson. Released in 2016 but was actually made 2 years earlier.
It's a wonder he isn't doing any TV work like everyone else.

Cell is an extremely poor film,Cusack looks strange in it, whether Botox or actual surgery ,I'm not sure

eh? He has been working non-stop for 4 decades, about to go into his 5th decade with rarely a break

1980's - 14 movies
1990's - 22 movies
2000's - 16 movies
2010's - 27 movies (wtf)

It seems like ever since he called out the Israelis' for some attacks on the West Bank, he's only been offered the likes of direct to Netflix type stuff, but he hasn't stopped working, far from it.
