There's been some promising actors/actresses spring up over the years. But what you expect to flourish into a great career, suddenly smoulders into a puff of smoke and they're never seen again, or they're reduced to crap parts. This thread is for those who you feel have wasted their chance.

Christian Slater.
I remember watching him in a film (can't remember which, might've been Interview With A Vampire) and thinking, "this guy could be the next Jack Nicholson". He had the look. He did some great films, including True Romance. He seems to have fizzled out to nothing. A real waste.

Rufus Sewell.
When I saw him in Dark City, I thought this guy would get a lot of work because of his looks - prominent features, striking eyes etc, unique enough to get some decent work. He reminded me a of Robert Powell a little. I know he's been in quite a few things since, but nothing major.

Cleaming th cube name of the rose heathers Kuffs  Untamed Heart Broken Arrow Murder in the first Hard Rain And let's not forget Pump up the volume , Just one brilliant performance in one brilliant film.

Matthew Lillard.
After Hackers, he was really good in Scream, quite wacky. He played a really good Shaggy in Scooby Doo, and then seems to have disappeared, despite IMDB listing him as having regular work. I see he's in The Descendents.
