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?

Speaking of randy haven't seen Dennis in a while.

He is married to a woman 40 years younger than he is. He probably doesn't have the energy to get out of bed in the morning :rolleyes:

In Hollywood movies I think he was only ever in Tron series?

But he has long list of TV credits.

Epic scifi series Babylon 5 is probably his biggest role outside Scarecrow and Tron.

And still very busy working in various Hallmark movies and TV shows such as Gourmet Detective, and their Christmas output:)

Tom Hulce. Best actor nominated for Amadeus, was in a fair few movies in the late 80s, then dropped out of Hollywood all together.

He did some voice acting, and went on to focus on theatre producing.

Summer Glau

Kate Bosworth
Was getting cast in everything for a while and seems to have aged out

I think Superman Returns hurt Kate Bosworth. Sure she did '21' two years later in 2008. But 2006-2008 seemed to be the height of her career. She's kept busy but appears to be no where near the status she once had. Brandon Routh suffered more tho.

Costner considered making a movie about Michael Collins and visited West Cork. He passed on the project and made Wyatt Earp instead.

It's a better movie too.

Jet Li had very little output since Expendables 3.

Reminds me of an interview I read before with, I think, Tony Curtis who was dating a much younger woman. He was asked "Are you not worried about a heart attack" His reply :"Well if she dies, she dies"

I think she was involved in the John McTiernan case or someone connected to that case that ended his career where he ended up in jail.

I actually only remember Michael Sarazzin from his guest appearances in scifi shows, murder mystery shows etc. Such a distinctive face.

I didn't realise he had an early career in big Hollywood movie productions in the 70s, but as you note they dried up very quickly.

Santa Clarita was her most recent starring role, a great show, but she's a producer more so an actor.

Rosanne Arquette, she appeared a few years back in an episode of Ray Donovan, but haven’t seen her in a film for years.

Wasn't that due to Weinstein? Her, Mia Sorvino and Ashley Judd were all blacklisted because they had turned him down. I'm sure there were more!
