No one fizzled faster than Alicia Silverstone. She was primed for A-list stardom on the level of Reese Witherspoon, but she followed Clueless up with Batman & Robin, and Ive never heard anything from her in 20 years.

IMDB shows she still works regularly, just nothing big. Like Chris O'Donnell. Hmmm....

This is what baffles me. I did not know about the wwe thing until just a few weeks ago. This had to be some lifelong dream or something right?

I mean, I know he was trying to be screenwriter and even used a pseudonym a lot b/c Hoywood disregarded anything with his real name on it, but was/is he that hard up for cash?

A wwe writer can't make that much (I'd say low, low six figures) and Prinz starred in big budget teen movies for a decade, and so did his wife. Did they blow through everything??

They also still come on cable some, so he's got to be getting some residuals still.

Josh Hartnett. He turned down Nolan’s Batman, leaving it for Christian Bale.

she's literally done multiple movies every single year for the last 30 years. How is that fizzling out?

Maybe he only saw Swingers and never saw her in another movie? She's quite a forgettable actress. That's really the only movie I remember her in

I thought when I was watching Saving Private Ryan I was seeing a star being born in Edward Burns. He was then in a pretty good movie with Jennifer Anniston and Cameron Diaz. Then nothing. He was in some shitty sci fi movie and focusing on directing last I heard. That was a while ago.

the Hangover.....Austin Powers.....

would you say James Franco fizzled out? What's the last movie he's done that anyone really knows about?
Some actors don't do the big budget films and only do small indy type films. To do them consistently every single year, at least 2 every year, for 30 years, is quite the accomplishment.

Internet estimates their net worth at $30 million.

Both seem extremely down to earth and relatively smart by Hollywood standards.

You can record 1 voice over performance from your Hollywood mansion in the morning, bone your smoking hot wife by lunch, play with your kids all afternoon.

No jet setting. No personal drama. No months away from your family on location in Tibet. No casting couch blowjobs trading all dignity for marginally more fame and fleeting adulation.

Seems like the smart play for someone who grew up without a father. His dad was the star of a hit tv show and blew his brains out. Pretty sure Jr learned to measure success differently.
