  • Getting your big break in Hollywood can take years of toiling, filled with constant rejection and heartbreak. There are countless stories of actors who finally made it big after decades of trying.
    Once they’re on top of the food chain, the grim reality is that it’s also hard to maintain your A-list status. The years of hard work can end in the blink of an eye, and you can find yourself irrelevant again.
    Hollywood is a hard mountain to stay on top of because everyone wants a crack at the peak. The actors on this list have reached the top, but have been knocked off and can’t seem to get back up. To find out who they are, watch the video!

    Tarantino (one of my favs) has a history of taking actors who are slowly declining in reputation and giving them new stardom. I think he could totally do that for Billy Zane (also one of my favs). Zane is one of those actors who can get really creepy characters done well (like Buscemi, one of Tarantino’s many colleagues) and his work in “Blood & Concrete” and “I woke up early the day I died” is kinda similar in a way to works of Tarantino.

He should've been in a few mainstream hits when he was younger but if he lost weight & fixed himself up, he can still take on a great role. He's done some great stuff but they were overwhelmed by too many poor roles like the movies with Uwe Boll (who sued him) & other silly stuff. People are associating him with bad C movies when he's capable of better. But he's back with Lucid. Too small a role but hope his upcoming projects are better.

    Seems like Jim Carrey CHOSE to step back, which is natural as Hollywood became more greedy and focused on superheroes remakes and popularity instead of good scripts and talent. Guess this applies somewhat to Billy Zane too. Others like J Love Hewitt wisely chose steady TV careers, but I suppose missed out on the now and then big screen/indie role for whatever reason. It's silly to expect great actors to be in starring big screen roles all the time. It limits their range and isn't practical. Tom Cruise does this and he is more of a product based on heavy HW PR.

For years, I had no idea he even wore one. There are tons of actors that either wear toupees or have hair transplants done. Besides, they are made up to look according to whichever character they are playing so it really doesn't matter if they have hair or not. The excuse of losing one's hair is not a legitimate excuse for not seeing an actor on screen much anymore as hair can be replaced.

    I love Billy Zane. Too bad Hollywood don't. He is gorgeous and in my opinion a pretty good actor.

    This guy is funny as hell, I wish I could see him more on tv. He's subtle and sarcastic...ahead of his time. I love this guy. He did a movie with Jennifer Anniston and it was sooo outrageous and hilarious. I watched that movie so many times. One of the best movies to watch with a room full of people, you will laugh for days.

    I really like Billy Zane I wish he would get some bigger roles. He was a pleasant surprise in a recent Flash Episode.

      Yuuki Shiraz - And the fact that she was on a season of the hit show Dexter was a good career move.

    There's another factor here: the careers of successful actresses generally peak at 29 or 30 and fall off quickly in their 30s. If you're talking about an actress who was famous ten years ago, you can just about automatically put her on this list with the exception of a handful of hyper-acclaimed people like Meryl Streep, Viola Davis or Angelina Jolie.

    Halle Berry got a razzie... Her ability isn't questioned. Alba doesn't want to act anymore.

    I enjoyed all the information on these actors and actresses. I like Matthew Fox. Matthew and Jennifer Love Hewlette they were both in party of five. Some of the rest I never saw them in anything. Thank you for all the information on these actors.

    Funny that you mentioned or there is mentions of Freddie Prinz Junior in this. He should definitely be on the list.
