I feel like he was marketed as a new heartthrob, but hes just very…blah.
Nothing particularly charismatic about him on- or offscreen."
Recently, redditoru/UnlikelyFig2822posed thequestion, “Which up-and-coming Hollywood actors fizzled out?”
to the people ofr/popculturechat.
Here are their top responses:
1.
“Taylor Lautnerdisappeared from the screen after theTwilightmovies ended.”
“Was always surprisedSam Claflindidnt have a bigger career afterHunger Games.
I always mixed him up with Alex Pettyfer back in that era.
He was recently great inPeaky BlindersandDaisy Jones, though, so hopefully hell get more projects!”
He starred inBeastlyandMagic Mikebut allegedly had issues withChanning Tatumon the set ofMagic Mike.
A close second is Gale inThe Hunger Games.
Nothing particularly charismatic about him on- or offscreen."
She just kind of disappeared.
I think she was inMad Menfor a hot second?"
They put her in everything in an effort to make her the next big thing."
“Skeet Ulrich had crazy hype afterScream, and then he completely fizzled out.”
“I’ve always liked Taylor Kitsch as an actor.
He was inLone Survivor,True DetectiveSeason 2,Waco,The Terminal List, and nowPainkiller.”
Someone in another thread today mentioned how every young up-and-coming white male actor always gets compared to Leonardo DiCaprio.
AfterThe Amazing Spider-Man 2and thatValerianmovie with Cara Delevingne, he fizzled out.
He was recently inOppenheimerand he was good in it, despite not being in the movie much.
It made me wish he had become a bigger star."
“No one mentioned Theo James yet??
Glad hes getting more attention afterWhite LotusSeason 2!”
“Id like to argue for Hayden Christensen.
“I loved AnnaSophia Robb, but I haven’t heard much about her sinceThe Carrie Diaries.”
“Josh Hartnett had a great run and then just vanished.
“Eliza Dushku I thought she was going to be huge, but she kind of disappeared!”
Apparently hestruggledreally hard with depression and living in the closet, andPrison Breakdidnt help.
He had to break from acting to get a good frame of mind again.”
I guess he decided to take a break for a few years.
21.Finally: “Isla Fisher.
Obviously, women aren’t allowed to age in Hollywood .”
