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?

Chap had a nasty few years with a bad divorce also. He did have an issue too of aging out and not getting the sort of roles he used to churn out. He's very much busy working but more TV focused.

Brendan Fraser also spoke out about being abused by powerful man in Hollywood that lead to depression and becoming reclusive.

Linda Fiorentino, hardly anything through the 00s. Last film was in 09.

THE LAST SEDUCTION is just perfect.

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

Netflix bastards axed it. A phenomenal show.

He's one of the main actors in Doom Patrol. Mainly voice work but some onscreen work as well.

I've heard it's really good but have been stalling on it.

I really liked Entourage when it was being made, thought Adrian Grenier would go on to be a film star, haven’t seen him in anything since.

Haley Joel Osment, biggest child actor of the late 90s early 00s, has started appearing in some stuff again lately though.

Jim Cazieval, maybe not the biggest star but after passion of the Christ fairly well known, think I read somewhere that he thought the reason he didn't get better offers was because of that film.

Person of Interest was a fairly good role
Wee bit of a holy Joe I think

Yep.
Just read his wiki but the number of times it mentions he is a devout catholic makes me think you gat a free missionary with the actor when you hire him.
Person of interest was a good serie though.

I think that's actually true, he was somewhat blacklisted because he was open about his faith. I respect him a lot for that, he had to know openly declaring he was a Christian that there would consequences.

I remember reading back when Angel Eyes came out that Jim didn't want to do a sex scene with Jennifer Lopez because of his faith. This was back around 2001 when J-Lo was considered one of the hottest women on the planet, so needless to say a lot of people considered him crazy

Rich, famous, in a trailer with Kylie and a bag of coke in Thailand, the good old days when movie stars weren’t PC dullards.

Gary Sinise is one who who hasn't seemed to have appeared in anything major for a good while now.

I've noticed a strange coincidence: a lot of actors that have faded into semi-obscurity seem to end up working on Robot Chicken.

That's because he's a conservative and a Republican. He's black listed just like the Commies were blacklisted in 1950s Hollywood.
