Greatest Disappointment in Hollywood Ever

Young, talented actors and actresses get our collective hopes up for a long and positive relationship. Which actor crushed those hopes the hardest?

There really wasn't any contest there. The only one I can think of who crashed harder than Lindsey Lohan would be Britney Spears, but she's not really Hollywood.

Because Hollywood has of course only existed for one decade. =)

What? Shia whatever didnt fail at his career, its just obvious that after being in some high tier movies doing always the exact same role it will eventually have to slow down and do something different. His last movie was that one about the booze and he did play a better role then clumsy teenager, just because he isnt the shining star doesnt mean he is a disappointment.

Lindsay Lohan on the other hand... Yeah...

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

Depends.

Lindsey Lohan could just stop the substance abuse, survive and become a great star. Shabalaba?? seems to suffer from inflated ego syndrome and unwarranted self importance. I hear there's still no cure for that.

For some reason, I can't stop imagining what Anne Hathaway would look like in an iron man suit.

I never thought Shia lebuf (whatever) was ever loved, he has always been the worst part of whatever he was in. He sure as hell was the worst part of transformers.

Chris jumped on the winning answer and won. Shia hasn't really fell so much as he sort of staggered to where he is right now. He hadn't ever really established himself as a serious adult actor and is always in this half state of being the young one and trying to do a professional job

This would easily be won by M. Night Shyamalan.

 

[Urh]

This would easily be won by M. Night Shyamalan.

It was quite the surprise (dare I say a twist?) that he wasn't considered. But I suppose you could do a separate one of these on disappointing directors. Shyamalan vs. Kevin Smith, anyone?

Lindsey Lohan is probably the biggest train wreck in Hollywood.
Shia hasn't really fell so much but is suffering from his massive ego.

Next week are you guys going to do Orth vs. Pitchford?

 

[Callate]

For once, I'm entirely fine with Chris winning one. When insurance companies are saying they won't cover your work on a dare...

Aside from having ruined her own reputation, the things Lohan has done seem to be taking a toll on her physically. She looks like a train wreck, and if there's one thing Hollywood doesn't have patience for, its an ingenue who looks like she's packed forty years of hard living into twenty-six. I'm sorry, I know that's superficial, but it's a superficial business.

The thing is, though, I somehow still feel bad for her. Heck with "Drama Queen"; I remember her in the remake of The Parent Trap. At one point, she seemed to have talent and beauty and maybe even a certain amount of intelligence, and the world was at her fingertips. Then it seemed she started hanging out with people without those qualities and got sucked down to their level.

Part of me would still like to see her make a comeback; it would be truly astonishing if she could pull it off. But I'm with the insurance companies- no way would I take that bet.

Because Hollywood has of course only existed for one decade. =)

...What, you want to start discussing Fatty Arbuckle? Not exactly the venue, is it?

Are his antics off-screen as horrible as Lohan's? I enjoyed him in Even Stevens, even though I was surprised how he popped out of nowhere years later to star in one blockbuster after the other. I enjoyed him again in all of his movies(especially Disturbia) and contrary to popular belief, he was not the worst part of Crystal Skull. Did he murder someone and get away it or is it simply the whole jealousy thing again?

I also have to go with Shia Labeouf on this one.

Yes, Lindsay Lohan is a trainwreck, but if she cleans up and pays he due, she can get back..

Shia Labeouf will be (if he isn't already) only be remembered as the kid who played Louis Stevens and the Pissed all the talent away by being a duch..

On a sidenote: How the hell do you piss off Michael Bay?? He seems like a pretty easy guy to please.
- "Yes, mr. Bay I too like Guns, lens flare and big explosions!"
BOOM best friends forever!

 

[Lunar Templar]

not much of a competition here .... pretty hard to get near the same level as Lohan with out a dedicated effort

 

[purifico]

Can anyone please explain who the drinking round works? I've watched the show for years but still haven't figured it out.
