Neve didn't vanish; she's been under my desk.

Poor Rupert Everett! Now he looks like a bloated game show host. Step away from the plastic surgery, doll...

Eddie Kaye Thomas and Thomas Ian Nichols have too many names to be successful.

The disappearance of Joey Lauren Adams makes sad. As a chick coming to terms with liking chicks when I was a teenager I fell in love with her in Chasing Amy. She was super cute and every time I see Renee Zellweger I can't help but think that should be Joey. And so my hatred of Renee Zellweger grows stronger every day. Also Neve Campbell? Ruined Scream for me.

And Chris Klein? Well, after becoming the real father of Suri Cruise, he had to be silenced...with a big wad of Scientolo-cash. He's somewhere choking on Risky Business money.

Chris Klein was engaged to Katie Holmes before she became Mrs. Hubbard-Cruise. I'm thinking that Tommy-dear may have had a hand in his disappearance.

I'd love to see more of Michael Vartan. He is super yummy, especially when he speaks French. He's not a fabulous actor, but I still don't understand his lack of work.

Is it just me or is Joey Lauren Adams a cross between Jennifer Tilly and Renée Zellweger?

NASH OUT! And so apparently is the link. Really FOX? Are you trying to get less people to watch Street Fighter? You can't just sweep these things under the rug like you do political smears or the Don't Count Us Out coalition. Maybe that's where Chris Klein is hiding.

Hmmmmm....what did happen....um....I cant say.Rupert Everett does not suck...but I dont think he's terribly choosy...the restof em.....kind of suck

mrcreosote

You made me snort but I'm going to high five you anyway because I'm still laughing.
Love you forever, now. There's no escape.

heather graham really is the worst ever.

Heather Graham sort of makes me sad. She was awesome in Boogie Nights, showed so much potential...she just seems...incapable of capitalising on it. I mean when she's doing funny, bitch is funny, she was the best thing about Scrubs during her brief stint on the show, and she WAS funny in Hangover...its just that she tried to do drama in From Hell(a woefully underrated film inspite of her hacktastic accent and...general existence) and it backfired and made her unhirable...she's neverbeen able to claw her way out of that bubble.

Neve Campbell...eh, she's just not that good, letsbe honest.
What is any performance she's given been beyond squinty eyed fast talking and running screaming from Ghostface?

What ever happened to Tara Reid? Have you seen her? EWWWWWWWWW. She did attempt a clothing line, although calling it clothing was a bit of a stretch.

As for Rupert Everett, he seems to be blaming his not getting leading roles on his coming out gay. Come on, Gandalf doesn't seem to lack work, nor does NPH or John Barrowman. Plus, old Rupy has been making himself downright unrecognizable with plastic surgery, and also bad mouthing everyone he works with.

Unfortunately, Nia Vardalos always plays Nia Vardalos. It's a shame, because it's nice to see a normal looking woman in the lead.

Yeah, I'll defend my longtime crush Heather Graham. She has talent. Not yet mentioned: Bowfinger. She definitely has some comedic chops; the right roles just never came.

Joey Lauren Adams did take a shot at directing a few years ago, and I believe I've seen her name on another potential project at some point.

Far be it from me to defend Chris Tucker; I generally can't stand his comedy. To his credit, though, he made a shitload of money from the Rush Hour films, and I have read that he has been using it to do lots of quality philanthropic work over the last decade that has gone way under the radar. He could have just spent that time making one or two dumb comedies per year and racking up the cash for himself. As such, I have a lot of respect for the guy.

I can't sit by and have Heather Graham just get slammed like this (if she wished to be slammed another way, I am more than eager to oblige).

As Nadine said, she has her moments more in comedy than in drama. She might not be able to act, but she has personality, and when she is able to display it, she works. And while she isn't setting box offices on fire, she does try to stretch in DTV fare (nakedness may or may not affect my opinion of these projects).

Besides, Jennifer Tilly ended up following the same path pretty much, and she seems quite happy.

Shannon Elizabeth

Same for her as well. Hell she even got Tilly's poker run. The only difference is she was naked and got more clothes as she progressed. Which kinda explains the lack of career.

Man, fuck Hollywood.

I heard Thomas Ian Nicholas (never trust a man with three first names) went the Kirk Cameron route and Christianiteed all over everyone before going away.

Chris Tucker makes me sad. After the awesomeness of The Fifth Element, he could have done anything. Anything! And he chose Rush Hour 1-3. Jerk did it to himself.

What up Bluuuuud

What up bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud

Heather Graham is funny looking.

Maybe Nieve should specify, she pronounces her name ...wait... Like Eve with an N, rather than Nev which sounds short for Neville.
Stupid squinty eyed Nev.

And I like to think that Chris Tucker is in Samuel L. Jackson's car boot (trunk).

"Now that is a clear cut case of him, or me..."

Nadine!! Nev Mars!!! 'Donde Esta El Burro????'

Donde esta el burro indeed Nev,Indeed.
RIP

I officially want to scratch my eyes out.

Did some digging and apparently Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie), is in a Christian Rock band called the TIN Men (T.I.N for Thomas Ian Nicholas.) Their hit song? Called "Right to Know", an anti-abortion ditty sung from the part of the unborn baby.

This was the guy that made my twelve year old nipples perk up in Rookie of the Year. Jesus wept!

Hello Welldressed my sexy bandmate, Ive missed your hot ass.

Good list, Dustin, but still, the decades biggest flameout is still the cast of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. The only ones who still have actual acting roles are Alison "I'll send you to your bunk" Hannigan, and Seth Green. And given the movies Seth Green's been cast in, he might as well have died, it would have been far more merciful

While I wouldn't say Nev's career died after she showed her rather uninmpressive boobs, it didn't help.

Heather Graham looks too much like my ex, and therefore deserves to fall into oblivion.

Rupert is the (sorta) male version of Heigl

While the choice to go gay for god might help your soul, it's does shit for your acting career. The rest of the American Pie group sucked anyway.
Seriously, I have never been able to figure out why this movie(s) was so popular. Even compared to Porky's it sucked. The fact that 80% of the actors in it disappeared is a good thing, people.

Thora and her lopsided boobs moved to New York with the serial killer. Member?

Michael Var-who? You kinda have to be almost really famous to be considered a huge flameout, no?

Nia Vardalos? Really?

I think it's kinda cute that someone remains tied to one character. It's like they were born to do that role only. It looks like a more complete embodiment of the character. No whoring around being a bit of everyone. And it's almost like regular people like you and me can make movies. You don't necessarily have to be a super movie star. Just one movie to show your children and your grandchildren when you're older while they gush about having a film star in their family!

Nicholas Brendon is on Criminal Minds, David Boreanaz is on Bones and Michelle Trachtenberg is on Gossip Girl. So the cast of Buffy is doing fine.

Pauly Shore made a movie about what happened to Pauly Shore.

Joey Lauren Adams has like 50 acting credits to her name.

So no on all counts.

Wait, Pauly Shore makes a movie about himself, thus he's still relevant? JKVD made a movie about himself that was 10 times better than anything that's ever dribbled out of Pauly Shore, and they're both still washed up.

Further on the Buffy point, Anthony Stewart Head is doing fine for himself on stage & tv in England, Seth at least has Robot Chicken to complement his abominable film choices and to describe SMG as a flame out will be like writing off David Tennant once he quits Dr Who. It’s an iconic role for which she will be forever remembered, how many actors get to inhabit that sort of space? That’s not a flame out, that’s “peaking”.

On a semi related note: while I liked her character, I don’t get the cult of Hannigan. Blood flows in my veins- and soon on the floor of the Pajiba dungeon for this heresy- but my bunk remains peaceful and unspoiled. What am I missing?

Joey Lauren is a cutey...i liked her when she was on a horrid sitcom called TOp of the Heap (w/ Joey from Friends)back in the day.

Michael Vartan went out with Jennifer Garner, not Jennifer Lopez.

How about Guy Pierce.

Fucking awsome in LA Confidential and Memento (robbed of Oscar nods both times). Then nothing. Well, there was the Proposal, which was good, but I personally contributed to about 1% of its box office take and I only saw it once. And he did an HG Wells remake, which tanked and looked like crap.

Poor Michael Vartan. :( He was also in One Hour Photo, too.

Nia Vardalos - My Life in Ruins happened, which was reviewed here on Paiba.

Chris Klein - Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li happened. It was reviewed on Pajiba.

Jason Biggs - My Best Friend's Girl happened, a.k.a., That Dane Cook Movie where Jason Biggs Gets His Eyebrow Shaved Off. Pretty sure that was reviewed on Pajiba.

Mena Suvari - She is Kingdom Hearts'/FF7's voice of Aerith Gainsborough, a.k.a., the Video Game Flower Girl Who Fans Just Won't Let Die. I'm pretty sure she's surrounded by bodyguards 24/7, especially at cons, so she doesn't wind up in some Buffalo Bill situation with a guy who insists on being known as XxX Sephiroth XxX.

Shannon Elizabeth - Love Actually was the last thing worthy of noting. She's also a well-known poker player.

Eddie Kaye Thomas - he's the voice of Barry on "American Dad!". He also had a cameo as Jesus in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

Thomas Ian Nichols - he was in one episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Tara Reid - she had a recurring role on Scrubs as J.D.'s quirky, then slutty, girlfriend named Danni.

"By the way, whatever happened to Pauly Shore. He was his era's Rob Schneider, and I figure if we can find out what killed his career, we might finally neutralize Deuce Bigallow."

They both just did a stint here @ Zanies in Nashville together. I had to listen to the audio clips of those two ass hats every morning over & over & over & over on my drive to work. It's amazing I didn't stab someone in the face when I got there. If only someone could have planted a bomb @ Zanies. "you can do it! blow us the fuck up!"

Joey Lauren Adams & Heather Graham both make me want to head to my bunk.

on the other hand This may have been the deathnail in Neve Campbell's coffin... now excuse me while I carve my eyes out.

"How about Guy Pierce?"

Doesn't Guy pearce have a small roll in The road?
The Proposition was an AMAZING movie.

WHY IN THE FUCK IS THE ROAD NOT PLAYING ANYWHERE NEAR ME!?

Never knew that about Tucker. Taking it easy for the rest of us sinners.

Love him in 5th Element though. A classic.

Good list. I might disagree on Heather Graham just because she was in The Hangover. But that'd be about it.

Besides those, may I add a few others:

Hayden Christensen: only the central lead in the biggest movie franchise ever. He did the last two Star Wars prequels, made that Stephen Glass movie and then hit us with the creme de merde that was Jumper. Last seen jumping back to the Canadian border with Rachel Bilson in tow.

Carrie-Anne Moss: Trinity. In 1999, there wasn't a guy who didn't want her. She did the two Matrix sequels as well as Memento. Honestly, what happened to her?

There's more to wonder about: Haley Joel Osment, Zhang Ziyi, Roman Polanski (hasn't done anything since The Pianist), but I'll stop here.

Carrie-Anne Moss; I saw her in a movie called Snow Cake (2006 maybe?) with Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver. It was excellent, and she did a good job.

Hell, Chris Tucker got fat up there. I didn't recognize him at all. I wouldn't work either if I had all that cash, and kudos to him if that charity stuff is true.

Bunny Munro--how about a little NSFW warning next time? God, I hope no one was looking over here when I clicked on that link. I was expecting a crappy photo shoot, not boobies.

So sorry everyone. My link posted above is of Neve's awful, filthy, nasty pancake boobs. and it is NSFW.

Thomas Ian Nicholas took the Jesus route? Well, damn.

I remember Chris Tucker saying that he deliberately took a break from Hollywood for the whole philanthropy thing, but also because he felt things were going too fast. He was getting "buddy cop" offers and wanted to step back. I can respect that. But then again, I actually liked the first Rush Hour, so...

Eddie Kaye Thomas - he's the voice of Barry on "American Dad!".

No shit? I love Barry, especially when he's off his retard pills (he's got that Alan Rickman thing goin' on).
Also, I have to confess that Eddie makes my vajayjay tingle. I find that fact a little disturbing as I think the guy resembles a young Rowan Atkinson with better coiffed eyebrows.

neve campbell - the company. so glad she was able to make that film with robert altman before he died. she has my eternal goodwill.

Eddie Kaye Thomas has almost 70 episode of "American Dad" and "Til Death" under his belt over the last few years. He also has a new HBO show coming out in February called "How to Make It in America" from the same guys that do "Entourage." While the few movies he did were not so hot, he has had pretty good success on the small screen.
