That was gonna be my nominee. Although I think I remember reading somewhere that his backing away from big budget Hollywood was his own decision moreso than his career fizzling out.

Maybe he and SMG realized they had enough money to live on and be selective with what they did. Why not do something you’ve always wanted to do if the paycheck doesn’t matter?
Plus he got to be on an episode of Psych.

Both seem extremely down to earth and relatively smart by Hollywood standards.
Yep. Prinz and Gellar are pretty much the gold standard for we have a level of fame we are happy with when it comes to Hollywood.
Prinz working for the WWE as a writer was a life long dream, evidently he has been a wrestling fan his entire life. He got paid, probably quite nicely, to enjoy his hobby. That is not a bad deal.
As for hot start to an acting career that fizzled... I hate to say it but that has to be close to 90% of big name actors. For every Tom Hanks that has been in the limelight for decades you probably have a dozen or so Alicia Silverstones. Silverstone has worked constantly for decades but she's way under the radar now. Hollywood has a tendency to chew them up and spit them out.

From what I've heard, he stepped back from the limelight to focus on his family and being a dad. Still does a fair amount of voice work and other smaller stuff.
I can respect that.

Especially with women. There is always someone younger right behind you. I'd love to know the shite some of these women have to do to maintain their fame

Was she an actress? I just thought she was one of those paris or kardashian types. Just famous for being famous.

Thought that guy was going to be a star after Whiplash.

Whiplash was only 6 years ago. Guy has been working steadily and I think he's on track given what he's done. He has 7 projects coming down the pipe.

Is playing Goose’s son in Maverick is he not?
Been in a lot of movies. Just some bombs. F4 for example.
But also has War Dogs.

On track to what? He's a working actor but I think people expected him to be an award winning actor after Whiplash. He has had 11 movies since Whiplash and the strongest one out of that crop is what...War Dogs?
Maybe Top Gun will revive it.

Exactly...so a good example of a career that has fizzled after a hot start (Spectacular Now, Whiplash).

Meg Ryan, as an example, stayed on top for a good long time evidently out of sheer meanness. She's supposedly as cuddly as a rattlesnake if you get on her bad side. as Tom Hanks noted in an interview "Meg is not perky folks."
She'd probably still be in the mix but for the failed plastic surgeries that left her looking like the Green Goblin.

That’s not my definition of fizzling. He just made poor choices. Like Clooney with Batman.

I thought he walked away from acting, because he didn't like Hollywood? At least that's what I have heard.
I wasn't a fan of his until I saw him in Lucky Number Slevin. He won me over in that one. Dude has some skills

Fair enough. I guess we have different definitions.

Mark Hamill... The star of one of the biggest franchises in movie history, yet really did nothing else (in front of the camera) after that.
Henry Thomas, after ET you'd think he'd have been a huge star, at least through his teen years.
Ralph Macchio never became a huge star and didn't do much after Karate Kid (until Cobra Kai)
