The show was critically acclaimed and beloved by fans, and they played a leading role! Why weren’t they able to get cast in anything big after it ended? They definitely have the talent. But it was crickets for their career after the last episode. Sure, they’ve been working, at least, but the only credits on their IMDb page are for either really bad shows and movies, or even worse, titles you’ve never even heard of. You kinda worry about them. You root for the actors from your favorite TV shows, and it’s sad when one of them just drops off the map after the series finale.
Even worse, maybe they were only ever known for this one role to begin with. It’s especially apparent when that TV show is lucky enough to get a revival, and all the stars make time in their busy schedule to do another season, except that one black sheep who doesn’t have to make time because they weren’t acting in anything that important. Here are 1. 5 Actors Whose Career Went Downhill After Their TV Shows Ended.
A SPECIAL SECTION Selected Peer-Reviewed Articles from the Second International Research Conference on Business and Economics (2nd IRCBE), Semarang, Indonesia.
Everyone on this list is really talented, and they all deserve better. Here’s hoping their careers are revived soon. Sarah Michelle Gellar – Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s perplexing that Sarah Michelle Gellar, the star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, didn’t go on to do more. She played Buffy on the show from 1. Cruel Intentions (1.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1. And, of course, she played Buffy on a few episodes of the spinoff Angel. The next year, she booked The Grudge (2. Buffy success. Her most notable roles since 2. Ella in the poorly received Happily N’Ever After and April in the only moderately received 2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie TMNT.
She also lent her voice to Star Wars: Rebels from 2. Jenna Fischer – The Office. Jenna Fischer played Pam on The Office: half of everyone’s favorite couple/endgame Jim and Pam.
Through her career, she was always only known for this one role. She popped up in comedy movies like Blades of Glory, Hall Pass, and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, the Johnny Cash/Walk the Line parody film in which she had a lead role as the equivalent of June Carter, a musician and Johnny Cash’s wife.
But what happened to her after The Office ended in 2. Not much. She joined the ensemble cast of another NBC comedy series: You, Me and the Apocalypse, but it was canceled after one season. Otherwise, she has been appearing in scattered episodes of TV comedies like Drunk History, The Grinder, and The Mysteries of Laura. Matthew Fox – Lost. Lost completely captivated us from 2.
And so did its lead actor, Matthew Fox, who played Dr. Jack Shepard. Lost was actually his second hit TV show. Before that, he played Charlie, one of the five Salinger siblings on the long- running Party of Five. During Lost‘s run, he appeared in the films Speed Racer, We Are Marshall, and Vantage Point. After Lost, he’s doing all right, but not as good as you would expect. He hasn’t returned to TV, instead appearing in action movies.
He scored a lead role in Bone Tomahawk (2. World War Z (2. 01.
Since 2. 01. 5, he hasn’t been in anything. Mischa Barton – The O. C. Where has Mischa Barton been since The O. C. ended in 2. 00. She just… disappeared from mainstream entertainment.
Oh, she’s still been acting. But only in movies that no one has ever heard of. Here are some of those titles: American Beach House.
Beauty and the Least: The Misadventures of Ben Banks. ZK: Elephant’s Graveyard. Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain. Assassination of a High School President. Apartment 1. 30. 3 3. D. Virgin Territory. St. Trinian’s. No, none of those titles are made up, but doesn’t it sound like they’re all made up?
Who sees these movies? If anyone has seen any of them, we have a lot of questions for them. She was also in a music video for Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher’s new band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in 2. She also competed in Dancing with the Stars briefly and appeared on Dr.
Phil in April of 2. Tom Welling – Smallville. This one’s a double whammy: not only did Hollywood forget about Tom Welling, it also forgot about Smallville.
It’s not fair: Tom Welling is far too attractive to not find success after Smallville, but his roles since the Superman show ended in 2. He had a role in the bad Nicholas Sparks movie The Choice in 2. He’s also been in three episodes of the fantasy/crime show Lucifer. He also randomly executive produced the short- lived CW series Hellcats, starring Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale.
In 2. 01. 6, he blew our minds by designing a Smallville t- shirt, with proceeds going to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The shirt reads “No Flights, No Tights,” a rule made by Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to define the world of the show: Smallville‘s Clark Kent wouldn’t have the power of flight or don the iconic outfit and cape.
Kim Cattrall – Sex and the City. Sex and the City is one of the most influential shows of our time. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda were all such iconic characters, and the four actresses behind them were pitch- perfect, including Kim Cattrall.
But she’s arguably been the least successful of the group post- Sex and the City. She’s done two period drama miniseries, Any Human Heart and The Witness for the Prosecution, neither of which were exactly mainstream.
She’s been on a few no name TV shows: Producing Parker, Sensitive Skin, and Modus. She was also in the peak 2. Ice Princess, playing a ruthless ice skating coach and mother of a champion figure skater played by Hayden Panettiere. While that movie wasn’t exactly an Oscar winner, it does have a place in the hearts of ’0. Michael Richards – Seinfeld.
Of all the actors in the world, surely the guy who played Kramer on Seinfeld should be enjoying a successful career. But for various reasons, he’s not. Even though Michael Richards got the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series three times, he never had another hit role on TV – or in film, for that matter. After Seinfeld ended in 1. NBC star vehicle sitcom called The Michael Richards Show.
He returned to stand- up comedy, but in 2. Laugh Factory, he aimed a racially- charged rant at some black audience members.
After that, he retired from stand- up in disgrace. Since then, he’s been a couple of projects from Seinfeld alumni. He was on a few episodes of Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm and had a role in Jerry Seinfeld’s Bee Movie. Eva Longoria, Desperate Housewives. Try to name one title Eva Longoria is known for besides Desperate Housewives. It’s not that easy to do off the top of your head.
After the long- running series about the secrets of suburban housewives ended in 2. TV shows: Brooklyn Nine- Nine and Empire.
She was in a short- lived NBC show called Telenovela. She was also in a no- name Hulu series called Mother Up! On the movie front, she’s been in a few flicks, but not many of them are big names. Whether because of her lack of good roles post- Desperate Housewives or not, Longoria has branched out into directing for TV.
She’s helmed episodes of Devious Maids (which she also executive produced), Jane the Virgin, her show Telenovela, and Black- ish. Alfonso Ribeiro – The Fresh Prince of Bel- Air. Everyone knowns Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel- Aire.
But not as many people know Alfonso Ribeiro, the actor who played him, from anything else. After The Fresh Prince of Bel- Air ended in 1. Ribeiro lent his voice to the 1. Extreme Ghostbusters. He also played Dr.
Maxwell Stanton on the long- running but nonetheless forgotten series In the House, which also starred LL Cool J. But In the House ended in 1.
