Matthew Fox was on a major career roll for two decades as he headlined not one but two popular shows in a row, with six seasons of the family drama Party of Five and then six seasons of the sci-fi mystery series phenomenon Lost shortly thereafter. As a result of this pair of beloved series, he had the rare distinction of being both a heartthrob and a guy’s guy, where audiences were concerned, and seemed well-poised to launch from his wild islandic adventures straight into the big time.

But the 2010s haven’t been quite as kind to Fox, despite some notable big screen efforts on his part. Here are a few theories that explore why Matthew Fox has seemed so … lost lately.

Take your pick from those listed. Prominent roles in hit TV series is no guarantee of continued success. I think this: He now lives way outside the Hollywood scene; and has more to do with Fox not retaining his 'status' rather than the beating accusation or his DUI which didn't help one bit.

Clickbait trash. Looper has an article like this about almost every actor in Hollywood, they all have the same title, they just insert a different star's name. He made serious bank off of Lost, and he can afford the luxury of taking long breaks to sit around and just count his money. He hates the Hollywood scene and despises acting, he's never made this a secret.

Here are only a few examples of the long list of actors Looper has written this same type of article about. It's just funny now
