    Someone mentioned Emma Stone earlier made me think of here husband Andrew Garfield
    I can't believe he is 37

    Summer Glau
    Seemed to be in everything Sci-Fi related for a while and then nothing

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    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:

    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"

    Heather Graham, used to be everywhere once.

    Old one, Michael Sarazzin ,was in load of movies in the 70s then bit parts in Murder she wrote


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


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

    Was supposed to be in Men in Black 2 but didn't happen

    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 know but career basically stalled in 1980

    Drew Barrymore seems to have disappeared, Has she been in anything lately?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,130 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    I know but career basically stalled in 1980

    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.

    Appears to be a producer mostly these days.

    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!

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,878 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


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

    THE LAST SEDUCTION is just perfect.

    She has her own talk show (Oprah/Ellen sorta thing).

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 557 ✭✭✭Morris Moss


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,862 ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    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

    Good Weinstein joke on the new “vaccine “ South Park last night in which the kids had a few vials of vaccine and had offer of 2k a shot “2k for a shot ... I’m like a little Harvey Weinstein “

    I think she slagged off Michael Mann and then he put the boot into her career.

    edit- Michael Bay I mean.

    Amazing to think that Van Damme was once the biggest star in Hollywood!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,878 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Amazing to think that Van Damme was once the biggest star in Hollywood!

    Him and Seagal were for about two years and tipped be the next Sly & Arnie and there you go 30 years later Sly & Arnie are still going strong.

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    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.

    Is this true? Any links to this?
