Jeffrey Wright - He is a damn fine actor. He's in mega hit movies and TV shows, yet seems to never be a lead actor and the average person wouldn't ever be able to guess his name.
He was great in West World.

I thought that Shailene Woodley had a great screen presence in The Descendants, and assumed she was going to have a bigger career. Then she kind of got stuck in a lesser franchise, got her scenes cut from Spider-Man, then she got too political in her public life.
Her appearance also completely changed. It's like she has a hormone or bone density issue.

That would actually help in in Hollywood. He had some major issues with alcohol, pretty sure he had a few fights down in the quarter. May have also gotten into some drug issues, but could be mixing up actors.

Tom Selleck.

Do you watch mythic quest? Similar character, but much less polished. In a funny way.
Anne Dudek
Really? Not saying she’s bad but all I can remember her from is House.

He would give him the Oscar for Best Actor Ever Made.

Thought he would very big after Scarface but career was derailed by drugs in his early years.
Thought he was great in Unforgiven and on course for stardom but I believe he had to deal with some serious health issues.

then not even noticing the fat dude with long hair on the left that played his buddy

I definitely don’t think Cuba is a closeted gay dude.
I know two different women who were hit on by a drunk Cuba Gooding Jr at upscale venues in New Orleans.

She has some big movies coming up later this year.
One guy who isn’t doing as much these days is Joseph Gordon Levitt. He was huge in the 2010-15 period, I would say genuinely A list.
Never heard of any issues with him, either being difficult or with drugs and alcohol. Nothing from Me Too. People seem to respect his work, and I think he’s a good actor.
But he isn’t as big these days.

IIRC Selleck turned down Indiana Jones. Had he played Indy who knows what might have been.

Jake from Sixteen Candles. I don’t think he wanted it though

She was in Friends and HIMYM and both times played someone who was dumped on her birthday.
She has had recurring roles in Mad Men, Big Love, and a few other shows.

I don’t know all the names of the diff actors but I know Elba.
I only know the John Carter guy from this board. And is he the guy in the worst season of true detective? That’s the only two things I can think he’s been in.
I guess I’m wondering what a big star is today? A lot of them are older now. And were making really good movies. I mean some of the biggest stars to younger gen are reality tv or YouTubers.

Idris Elba is a big star.
Reese Witherspoon is a huge star, probably a top 5-10 female in Hollywood.

Cuba's spent the last decade getting blackout drunk and groping women in bars.

He didn't turn down Indiana Jones. CBS wouldn't let him out of his Magnum P.I. contract.
