11 Actors Who Survived Career Suicide Twice

9. Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman will forever have a place in the hearts of filmgoers because of Pulp Fiction, but she has a bad habit of signing on for crap following a triumph. She put the brakes on a potentially huge career after Pulp thanks to the one-two punch of Batman & Robin and The Avengers; they were awful, and sadly she was awful in them. She went through a dry spell in her career following this, but when Tarantino came along with Kill Bill she looked set to come back in a huge way; yet for some inexplicable reason she followed them up with muck like Paycheck and My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Again it looked like she€™d squandered her chance, but in recent years she€™s been doing excellent work in character roles like Nymphomaniac and The Slap, and Tarantino will no doubt call on her services again sometime soon.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
