Taylor Kitsch was a very respectable TV actor on Friday Night Lights & ready to become a star in the movies , then he had the double BOMB whammy of John Carter & Battleship in 2012. Poor bastard was set up for failure imo . He still gets steady work here & there but I don't think he'll be considered leading man material in films anymore.

It doesn't happen much anymore - the different ways to do films that really started in the video era makes that less of an issue - actors just shrug it off or have an easier time of it - especially now because no one cares about your flops (Ryan Reynolds should have his career over a ton of times).
One that I will mention is sadly a pretty good performance - Dennis Quaid was being groomed to be a major star for a while, gave a fine performance as Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire which totally bombed at the box office despite lots of press and hype and his career was immediately, negatively altered. The reviews weren't bad but the message was clear - he can't be "the" guy in your film. Quaid's subsequent picks were flailing trying to recreate what he had..........didn't work.

It remains to be seen if it totally ruined it, but Fantastic Four certainly hurt Miles Teller's career.He was on an upward trajectory up until that point and was pretty much being positioned as the next great leading man.

Triple bomb whammy if you count Savages, even if expectations for that weren’t nearly as high. |

So-so films or terrible? In any case, Dana Carvey from main roles after The Master of Disguise. LaraQ I think Miles Teller might still be able to  * back from that effect like the other main Fan4stic cast did. |
