an actor/actress that you think should have had a bigger career


Kevin Kline - I know he won an Oscar 30 years ago but his career fizzled.

Robert Sean Leonard. He had a huge role in Dead Poets Society then ❔❔❔

reply

He was in House for 8 years.

I never watched it. But TV kind of a step down from film.

reply

It was a great series. They both played their roles so well.

I always thought Michael Parks should've been bigger when he was younger..
Agree a lot about Michael Biehn..
Don Johnson should've done better in films but he blew it with partying.


I do think Kevin Kline and Jennifer Jason Leigh did have some years of much respect and recognition and great parts... but 90% of actors seem to fizzle somewhat after 5-10 years..

Treat Williams

reply

What happened to him ?

reply

He's done a ton of work over the years but he was only a leading man for a short time.

reply

Another one is Michael Moriarty, Great actor.

reply

I'd like to see some more of Martin Short
The guy is still working but never in anything big

reply

Macauley Culkin seemed destined to be huge

reply

Kline has had a fine career. He has simply gotten older. He did appear on Broadway some which doesn't elevate him in the public eye. I have no problems with his career at all.

reply

I thought he would have been as big as Tom Hanks.

Larraine Newman of SNL. She just faded away after the show ended, while all the other cast members went on to bigger success.

reply

I can see this. However, a lot of SNL people didn't have good careers after Live. I don't know how much she wanted to do and whether she was a good actress. Jane Curtin did a little bit after, and I guess Gilda never got much of a chance. (She was so adorable.) Molly Shannon is still trying to lunch beyond Mary what's her name. Janine Garafalo?
