Sticking to her movie career here...Anna Farris. She had the Scream movies and a few shite romantic comedies (Just Friends included). Last movie I remember seeing her in was that awful Overboard remake.

She did have success on TV for “Mom” which is a show I have never seen.

Has anyone mentioned John Heder?

Napoleon Dynamite catapulted him into starting in a few movies like Blades of Glory and School for Scoundrels…but after those it seems like he fell of a cliff. Can’t name a single thing he’s done besides those movies.

When was she ever peaking? She’s always been an indie film actress that takes challenging, artsy roles. Did I miss something? (That’s not a sarcastic question; genuinely curious if I missed her moment)

Seth Rogen. Had a decent stretch of comedies from 2005-2008 or so. Then kept making shittier and shittier movies.

ETA: I guess he didn’t really fade away. He just started to suck really bad.


We don't deserve his movies.

Is the most popular show on TV for 12 years considered a short run then faded?

Thought so too. They have frick you money that will never end because of that show. Galecki was himself in Entourage too. Cuoco is in that flight attendant show which I liked. They're OK I think

This is the correct answer and I should read the thread before replying.

This guy was the "hot" it actor for 98-01 then poof. He was a decent actor. I liked lucky number Slevin. But he went from the drug dealer in the Faculty to co staring in blockbusters.

His Antwon Fisher and Bobby Joe Hill roles were really spectacular.

Henry Winkler - after being the Fonz on Happy Days he got bit parts here and there. He moved over to directing and producing.

Christopher Lloyd - He jumped over to producing and directing.
