Hello everyone, hope you're having the greatest day today. Welcome back to the
Film Insight channel for yet another awesome video. With new celebrities
emerging from the shadows seemingly on a daily basis, it's tough for the ones who
already exist to fight for relevance. Especially in Hollywood which is a
brutal place to find success, it's important to stand out in any way
possible or risk being replaced by newer fresher talent.
Some stars who were once beloved may have fallen off from their throne
for a number of reasons. This can range from drug use, criminal activity or maybe
even death. But then there are some celebrities who were featured in one too
many bad or failed films or even just decided to stop acting for their own reasons.
While some of the people we are going to feature today seem like they
had it all and we're going to have a fruitful career in the film industry it
was just the opposite. So to get into the topic of today's video we are going to
demonstrate how being in a hit movie doesn't guarantee long-term success by
telling you the actors who fell off. But before we get into today's video be sure
to drop a massive like down below and subscribe for more. Let's get into this guy's!
Haley Joel Osment
You walk into an IKEA with your significant other and
dread the possible arguments that are incoming. Which
colored couch do we want? What styled furniture will be place around the house?
However who would have known that you'd also be able to find the next child star
actor amongst the irritated couples around you. In the case of Haley Joel
Osment while walking around the furniture home decor establishment in
1992 he was noticed by a talent scout who liked his look. Being mostly known
for his role in the classic drama thriller called The Sixth Sense which
brought the famous line I see dead people
HJO found great critical success. Like many other child stars well they got an
abundance of roles while youthful, that quickly changes with time. The number of
roles that Osmond would get as it he grew into adulthood were close to none
until he effectively fell off. After a drunk driving incident in 2006 the media
tried to paint that he was spiraling downhill but he's fine and still acting
today just in smaller productions.
Andie MacDowell
Initially starting her career in the modeling industry having some street
cred, Andie MacDowell raised herself to the
Hollywood film industry. Though she soon would realize that
acting wasn't as easy as she thought when she clearly wasn't ready for the
film that she was somehow cast into. The first film that she pushed into the
movie scene was Greystoke The Legend of Tarzan Lord of the Apes which had to
be dubbed over since she couldn't produce an authentic British accent.
With her first failure in mind, something had to be done to improve which pushed
McDowell to try and method acting, studying at the Actors Studio. This is
when years later she emerged with her new arsenal skills to star in the
groundbreaking film Sex Lies and Videotape by Steven Soderbergh. Over the
course of half a decade she was able to rack in tons of awards and big roles
only for that to be gone just as quickly. Now she only really does TV movies which
is disappointing.
Cuba Gooding jr.
It surely looks good for Cuba Gooding jr.
after playing the Show me the Money football star Rod Tidwell and Jerry Maguire.
To everyone his career seemed like it was only going upwards but that
was such a bad assumption. Despite being in another successful film like As Good
as it Gets, Gooding jr. would go on to be featured
in some of the worst films out there that definitely put a spear through the
heart of his promising career. In his cringe-worthy and embarrassing list of
films are ones like American Gangster which went direct to DVD and simply
brought underwhelming performances from the aspiring actor. With time he was
featured or cast aside and more and more bad films like Brian LaVon Snow Dogs or
his lesser role in Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor. Eventually with his consistent
pattern of being in films that were underachieving or not living up to the
hype people hide for his career he was washed away being reduced to doing
smaller roles nowadays.
Macaulay Culkin
A kid who would go on to become the king
of 90's child stars, Macaulay Culkin really seems to have it all. getting has
started acting with films like Uncle Buck, Culkin would not make his big break
into the industry until he was featured in the 1990s holiday classic Home Alone
This film was directed by Chris Columbus who broke by and far the
highest grossing film of that year and earned Culkin his first Golden Globe
nomination and Young Artist Award pushing him to A-List stardom. Appearing in
many places in Hollywood from music videos with Michael Jackson in black or
white to being in skits on SNL, he was very valuable in the acting team. Though
after his roles in Getting Even with Dad, The Pagemaster and Richie Rich which
were all films that bombed in 1994, his career took a major hit.
His career started to die out and even more with the increasing string of movie
fails, he eventually stopped acting and has been on and off in the industry since.
Val Kilmer
Having a very promising start to his career, Val Kilmer was one
of the youngest people to be accepted into Juilliard, a prestigious drama music
and art school. There he gained the reputation for being especially hard to
work with going on to allegedly pick fights with Tom Cruise during the
filming of Top Gun, brawling behind the scenes. In William Goldman's book which
why did I tell, he gets into almost documentary ask detail as to help
problematic Kilmer was well on the ghost and the darkness. With more and more
misbehaving on set, Kilmer was eventually put in his place by Marlon
Brando telling him not to confuse his paycheck with the right to inflate his ego.
After his film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with years of being a douche
his career inevitably went into the trash and deservingly so. That's what you
get for treating people poorly.
