Actors who did not live up to MY expectations: Samantha Morton I'm just naturally curious here, but is this your personal opinion or is this based off of something? Not being rude, just kinda weird anyone would claim Samantha Morton didn't live up to expectations. She's in my top 5 modern actresses.... post 1995+

She made great performance, that weren't oscar nominated because she was blacklisted by Harvey Weinstein. The Perfect example is the Messenger. She won the San Diego Critics Awards and was nominated for other several awards including the Indie Spirit. In the last couple of years she had at least 2 big hits on TV, Harlots and The Walking Dead.- Also she had 3 children and health issue, that could explain her absence between 2009-2012

Ludivine Sagnier, after 8 femmes, la Petit, La Piscine, La Fille Coupe en deux and Un Secret looks like France next best thing. But she was eclipsed by Marion Cotillard, and nothing relevant of films after Crime d'amour (2010).
More intesting has being her TV career since 2010.
I hope Ozon will rescue her.-

Director Nicholas Hytner. What happened to the guy?
I think that Oliver Stone loose his touch after Natural Born Killers. Itsn't my initial expactations, because he debuted before I was born, and have his peaks when I was a little child, not interested in films at al.-

I would argue Sidibe's a prime example of someone exceeding expectations.

Dane DeHaan.He was touted as the new Leo for a while there,he looked all set to be the next great young actor.Then he had three bombs in a row,A Cure for Wellness,Tulip Fever and Valerian,and his career has yet to recover.

Meirelles is a good mention.
I always thought that Laura Linney was going to be an oscar winner quickly and becoming one of the most important american actress of her generation but her film career post 2007 has been very disappointing to say the least.

Laura Linney seems to be concentrating largely on TV projects post The Savages, which may be the result of lack of good roles for an actress her age. The last few films I saw her in (Sully, Nocturnal Animals), she was supporting, and felt "wasted", which is a real shame. I think she's terrific actress, but the fact that she isn't getting meaty film parts lately is quite sad.

Miles Teller.His career started off so promisingly.he was legit great in Rabbit Hole,The Spectacular Now and Whiplash.I honestly thought he was on track to be a huge star.Then Fantastic Four happened and he gave all those dumb interviews and everybody started to hate him.He's still young enough to turn things around though, and I hope he does because he's a genuine talent.

She's in my top 5 modern actresses.... post 1995+ Well, Samantha is a great actress, but since the end of the last decade her career has stalled. I never thought she was going to be HUGE like Kidman, Blanchett or Winslet, but I always thought she would keep working constantly with auteurs, getting big roles and maybe popping up with some oscar buzz here and there from time to time, but in the last few years she has barely worked and the the few works he did were not even very remarkable. She has barely had leading roles in the last few years, she has even been praised for her supporting performances and has even won some awards here and there for The Messenger and Synecdoche, New York, but still that was not the career I had hoped for.

You're right, it would be illusory to expect that after that Oscar nomination she would follow the same path as all the other young actresses who are nominated for the first time, but I still expected more. At least she got good work on television, but it would be nice if she had leading roles more often.

She's getting a healthier lifestyle and body, so she might have new opportunities for the future. www.stylecraze.com/articles/precious-star-gabourey-sidibes-stunning-weight-loss/#gref

Audrey Tautou Where did she go? She was quite hyped after Amelie. Back to France. Wasn't even interested in having an American career so she kept starring in silly French comedies. Doesn't help that Marion stole her spotlight from audiences and industry alike.

Unlike another Hollywood upandcomer who also started in the same year (2001) as Audrey....... Naomi Watts, who probably gave a lot of blowjobs to get an American career. I think the opposite of that was Zhang Ziyi. She did try to get an American career, or at least put herself out there for good parts - but since all she was offered were Asian characters in Hollywood - maybe she felt a bit offended at the Hollywood perspective on Asians. As I would be in the same situation. Just my guess of course, basing this on how brief her career was. 2000-2005 and shoooo down she went right after that.
