Actors that were said to be the next big thing, but weren't

Rebecca Romijn had a lot of hype back in the day, she was a well-known model and after her first serious acting role as Mystique in "X-Men" she became a very in-demand actress for mainstream entertainments. She never found the same success as "X-Men" brought with her other films and eventually went to TV, she's current in "The Librarians" for TNT.

Casper Van Dien was thought to be a potential leading man for many mainstream films after "Starship Troopers" but "Tarzan And The Lost City" destroyed those chances.
