Rob Lowe. I thought he was going to be a big star.

Wood Harris

After Remember the Titans and The Wire, I thought for sure he'd be a household name within 10 years.

I think Taylor Kitsch would be a bigger star now if he didn't start is career as a leading man in some really bad films.

I feel like David Alan Grier should have had more success.

I don't think he was big time film funny or anything, but certainly more talented than the many failed sitcoms he appeared in.

If you're going there then easily Robert Townsend.

Mark Valley. After Keen Eddie I just knew he was going to be a star.

His best performance was easily Amazon Women on the Moon.

I've liked Clive Owen in pretty much everything he's ever done. Would love to see him get more bigtime roles.


Yeah, Clive Owen would be my choice as well. He was spectacular in Children of Men.

He was the first that crossed my mind in this thread. Can't believe how much his career dropped off. He honestly should have been the next big action hero, but we can't seem to let the old ones die.

He may have if he had not banged a 16 year old and filmed it in the 80's

Warriors Xandu Megaforce

Done. At least his career.

I may be gay for saying it but freaking loved Warriors and Xanadu. Megaforce was okay. I was a small kid and love Oliva Newton John. So Naturally I respected the hell out of the man who could play male lead opposite her. The dude skated into a brick wall for her. I would have and did. Tried it at home. Damn movie should have said don't try this at home.
