11 Actors Who Survived Career Suicide Twice

7. Wesley Snipes

Wesley Snipes had it all at one point; he could switch between successful action films (Passenger 57, Demolition Man) and low-key drama (Jungle Fever, One Night Stand) and he was equally adept at both. Ego would eventually prove to be his undoing and - by all accounts - his titanic meltdown shooting Blade: Trinity poisoned his career in Hollywood. He was regulated to mediocre DVD action movies for a few years until he got some love for his turn in thriller Brooklyn€™s Finest. Any hope of a career comeback was dashed when he was convicted of tax evasion in 2010 and had to serve three years in prison. Upon release, he went right back to work, stealing the show in The Expendables 3 (not a tough feat really), heading a TV series in The Player and he recently reunited with Spike Lee for Chi-Raq; plus, there€™s always the tantalising possibility of another Blade.

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