Jared Leto won an Oscar and has a Marvel movie coming out next year. How has he not made it big?

Edited by mdmost

Ethan Hawke and Jared Leto didn't make it big? 

Apparently you are going to have to define "not make it big," because I don't think it means what you or anyone else posting in this thread thinks it means.  

C. Thomas Howell

I was actually too young to have an opinion but this seems like the kind of answer we should give. 

Kate Bosworth (Blue Crush)—for some reason I’d have thought she would have been in a lot more stuff the past 18 years or so. She also got way too skinny. 
 

Ana Alicia (Halloween 2/ Falcon Crest) my dad had huge crush on her in the 1980s and never understood why she wasn’t in more stuff…he was a sucker for petite ladies from Mexico.

Heather Graham should’ve been bigger that she was/is. Decent actress, likable, and sexy AF.

i'm still waiting on Taylor Kitsch to take off 😛

the Jared Leto and Ethan Hawke WTFs...one has an oscar and the other has been nominated for several. i don't think this thread means what the OP thinks it means. 

 

Clirk Westwood I think is his name. Did some old westerns but never really made it big.

I have blue eyes…reddish blonde hair and no…lol…

Who says that guy that was in Bosom Buddies back in the 80s? Hanks, something or rather. Anyway, I thought he was a pretty good actor and then he just disappeared. Not sure what ever happened to that guy.

Minka Kelly. I always thought she’d go on to be way bigger after FNL. She’s a damn smoke show.

He may be a bigger star than I realize but I thought Josh Lucas could be the next Paul Newman after his role in Sweet Home Alabama, had completely forgot about him until seeing him in Ford/Ferrari movie.

He makes all his money voicing Home Depot commercials. 

Who knew there was fame and fortune to be had in caulk and paint thinner.

This is a good list. Purefoy and Sossaman especially. Add Bella Heathcoate if anyone here even remembers her from about 2012. 
 

From about the same time, amanda seyfried got big but I thought she’d be much bigger.  Just sort of plateaued and faded.

The dude has 2 horror franchises he stars in and is the antagonist to Aquaman. Also has a dumb Roland Emmerich disaster movie he's starring in. He's not the Rock but the dude has had a solid career. He was great in Fargo, season 2. 

Over a 2 year period, Julia Ormand had Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, Brad Pitt, Aidan Quinn, Richard Gere and Sean Connery fighting over her.

Not much has happened since.

Gary Coleman. TV Star of the 80s, but never got very big.

Why doesn't Ricky Schroder have a EGOT?

Ron Livingston. He owned every scene he had in BoB.

 

Not to derail, but he has a pretty funny TV series from a few years ago called Loudermilk that's now streaming on Amazon.

I think it pretty much slipped under the radar because it was on the Audience Network originally, but it's a solid comedy.

True. He has a good career. Just thought he would be an A-List name. I guess he’s close.

Adrianne Palicki was the smoke show.

 

 He’s had a decent career but I want more Steve Zahn. *edit* before I get OPed I realize he was recently in a hot hbo show. Good, he’s one of those great dramatic/comedic dudes

Child act persons actors are always a tough bet since you never know what they're going to turn into when they're an adult. 

Edward Furlong (drugs), Haley Joe Osment (went from cute kid to weird looking adult) and Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous) are a few examples. 

Guy Pearce should be a bigger act person.  He had LA Confidential and Memento right together which were both super loved and critically acclaimed.  Then he sort of went to supporting guy with just one or two big roles in the 20 years since. 
 

Mike Myers isn’t in anything anymore.  I guess he’s just rolling around in Shrek money.

It took me years to accept that Mark Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani Amber Thiessen were not the biggest celebrities on earth.  “Why aren’t they getting these roles instead of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts?  Did Spielberg never see the episode where Bayside High has an oil spill?  How are the most important act persons in the world reduced to Law & Order guest spots and acne cream commercials?”

For real though, Luke Perry deserved the post-teen heartthrob act person treatment Robert Pattinson is getting now.  Glad QT featured him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
