One Hit Wonders: Acting Division

Last I saw Bud Cort was as Dennis Haysbert's asshole boss in "Heat."

I nominate Carrie Henn, the little girl from Aliens. That was her only screen credit, I believe.

 

Hopefully, he'll keep staying away from acting. Hell, after Menace, who would hire the kid?

 

Where's Jim Caviezel been?

Robert Forster?

 

Are you serious?

 

I can't name a Caviezel film since Passion of the Christ and I haven't seen Forster in anything since Jackie Brown.

 

Just off the top of my head, but Caviezel was the villain in Deja Vu and Forster the villain in Consequence.

 

Doc,
I stand corrected. It's just odd when somebody gets a lot of pub for a role, perhaps an Oscar nomination, and then "poof" they seem to fall back into the ranks of just another actor.

Don't know how this has gone unmentioned on a "Soranos"-obsessed site like this one, but Riegert was awesome in a recurring role as the corrupt councilman. You have to love the scene where Tony whips the shit out of him with his belt for dating his ex.

 

How has it taken three pages to get to Mark Hamill?

 

He also played the bond company stooge in A Life Aquatic.

 

Watched "Network" a few months ago and this one -- not remotely a one-hit wonder, but someone who had a lengthy stint at the top of her game, then poof, gone -- has puzzled me for the better part of a decade...

Faye Dunaway.

During the late 60s, 70s and even into the early 80s, she was everywhere. Then... dropped off the face of celluloid Earth. What has she done lately, if anything? And what happened?

Damn, she was hot in "Network."
