I've heard that Raquel Welch was basically blacklisted after being fire from 'Cannery Row' and suing the studio.

They gave him Godzilla and Inspector Gadget right after that (either of those probably being better contenders for career killers). Need For Speed killed Aaron Paul's movie career before it even started. I just don't think Hollywood knew what to do with Matthew Broderick after the 1980's. He kept working at least until Tower Heist. He just did not age well. He looks like an old accountant now. |

I said Hollywood didn't know what to do with him. Most of the movies he has appeared in since the 1980's that aren't considered bad are indie films and he is supporting in the indie films that anybody has even heard of, with the exception of Election. I find it odd that for the first half of the 1990's he didn't star in any Hollywood movies and then all of a sudden he started to star in Hollywood movies and all of them were panned by critics - Addicted to Love, Godzilla, The Cable Guy and Inspector Gadget. It has always felt to me like the public just didn't take to him as an adult actor. |

Tony Bennett was eager to take a shot at a film career--if singers such as Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra could be movie stars, why not him? Apparently he thought he couldn't go wrong with the all-star epic The Oscar (1966), in which he made his debut
as half-Jewish/half-Irish Hymie Kelly, the perpetually edgy best friend of Stephen Boyd's ambitious star. The film was an unintentionally funny bomb, an embarrassment for most of the stars who appeared in it. Bennett abandoned his film career after that.

I think Shia LeBeouf killed his career with his mouth/antics. He said Crystal Skull was disappointing and he was miscast as Indiana Jones son and even said Harrison Ford told him he was a "fucking idiot" for badmouthing it. He must have been under contract to complete the Transformer films but they dropped him after that. Yeah, he became this weird asshole who wore a bag over his head, did this performance "art" bullshit by just sitting silently in a room and then became a total D-bag yelling at strangers on the street. I would have busted his jaw if he did that to me because he looked very menacing and I would have claimed self defense. Plus he did a DUI. Fuck that guy. He showed such promise and threw it all away. I won't give a damn if he dies young. |

THE CABLE GUY - Matthew Broderick They gave him Godzilla and Inspector Gadget right after that (either of those probably being better contenders for career killers). Need For Speed killed Aaron Paul's movie career before it even started. It's true that Aaron Paul's movie career ain't no great shakes, but Need For Speed was a massive hit in the Asian markets, so much so, that a sequel is planned. It didn't make much money in the US though. |

The incredibly talented John Belushi who threw his career away with the white powder. Though not a movie, it was his Hollywood lifestyle that did him in.

Melissa McCarthy killing her career bit by bit, The Happytime Murders, did that idea even sound good on paper?
Acting against Foam-plastic figures can work, as they showed on the old Sesame streets and Muppet shows.

A lot of these choices just seem downright bizarre to me.
Matthew Broderick with The Cable Guy? Huh? That just seems so random. And he had The Producers on Broadway well after that which was a huge hit for him. And Jason Bateman's had much of his success after Teen Wolf Too.

I'm more looking for actors/actresses that had one film pretty much destroy their film career. They didn't work or worked very little after the damaging film. For someone like Matthew Broderick for The Cable Guy, he's still working today even if The Cable Guy was a flop in his career. That movie didn't end his career.
