Nikki Cox  Did some bit parts on Drew Carey show, California Dreams. One Standout star from that crappy Married with children knock off. CW liked her and gave her her own show. Was on that Show Las Vegas with future star Josh Duhamel on NBC when it still a strong player on Network tv. Disappeared for a while, married Jay Mohr, never heard from again. I never watched Entourage, but watching Raw, didn't know that goofy Bud Bundy Rip off brother was on that show, meaning that he's ended up more relevant and with a better career than her (and he dated her). Speaking of which: Josh Duhamel  Where's he been? I haven't heard about anything he's down for years since the original Transformers where it apparently made Shia Labeouf a star (for a short while). He's still with Fergie right? Where's she been? Yvonne Strahovski  Star of the beloved Chuck. Good ratings the first year, struggled afterwards but had strong cult following. Showed a great range as an actor, changing her accent multiple times and having a perfect American Accent despite being from Australia. Was in that 24 reboot. |

Richard E. Grant. He's had some memorable roles and cult classics, but a man of his skill could have got far more, I'd have thought.

For a while there in 2009 and 2010, it sure seemed like we were on the verge of Sam Worthington becoming the biggest action star of our generation. He had starring roles in "Avatar", "Terminator Salvation", and "Clash of the Titans". Then...nothing. Now he's relegated to playing second fiddle to Arnold Schwarzenegger in box office bombs or starring in Indie films nobody's ever heard of like "Cake" or "Paper Planes".

Edward Furlong should have had a great career after T2, but he sort of just torpedoed himself.

Nikki had some really bad plastic surgery at some point from what I remember...
Yvonne's been on some things, 24, Dexter, and she's on that Astronaut Wives Club show that's coming out.
As well as being the voice and likeness of a main character in Mass Effect 2.
So it's not like she dropped off the face of the earth.

Duhamel keeps losing parts because every casting director thinks they're getting Timothy Olyphant. Then they're like, wait, you're not Raylan Givens....

He was in the Sin City sequel, voiced a Miyazaki character and is playing Snowden in the upcoming biopic. He is also pretty heavily wrapped up in his website HitRecord. I think Don Jon was only a couple of years ago, but I agree for his level of talent, he should be a bigger name. |

I'm surprised that he didn't do anything with John Lithgow yet, considering how he was the highest profile and best actor on 3rd Rock at the time and he's still pretty good. |

He really didn't stand out in any of those movies. I like Avatar but Salanda does a much better job connecting to the audience. Worthington wasn't bothersome or anything, just bland. I always thought Chris McDonald should have gotten bigger roles outside of Shooter McGavin, he's got range beyond the usual jerk character he plays. |

Steve Zahn. His career never recovered after Sahara. Before that he was very good in playing the supporting character with a sense of humour role.

I thought Josh Holloway was going to be a big star after Lost. But other than a role in the last Mission Impossible and a cancelled CBS series he hasn't done much.

He seems to be doing the Natalie Portman/Mila Kunis thing where they're in a ton of movie one year and then disappear for like 2. He's actually been in quite a few movies over the past 5 years or so; Inception, Dark Knight Rises, Looper, Sin City 2. And he's going to be in a new Robert Zemeckis movie later this year. editOne person I want to throw in there is Lindsay Lohan. It's a shame her personal life fell apartment because she had acting chops. It may be a bit meanspirited to say, but I think actresses like Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence directly benefited from her career collapse. |

With all due respect, that's still a precipitous fall from starring in the highest-grossing movie ever made, one of the biggest action/science-fiction franchises ever, and a blockbuster remake. "Call of Duty" is an enormous video game franchise, but at the end of the day, movies will always draw more eyes and attention than even the biggest video game. |

Sam Worthington seems to be trying reinvent himself as a actor or play against the type roles so good for him considering he was by far the blandest leading man ever. Anyways I thought Zachary Levi would be a big name after Chuck as well with with John Krasinski. I know John Krasinski was apparently the runner up of becoming Captain America so I have a feeling he would eventually become a A-Lister. And upon looking at his IMDB page he's going to be a co-lead in a historical biopic film about the 2012 Benghazi attacks directed by Michael Bay... |

Oh, I don't disagree or anything, just saying that he's doing a little bit more than Paper Planes.  |

Well hey, maybe his career path will follow his buddy's, Ben Affleck. |
