10 Actors Who Retired Way Too Early

10. Amanda Bynes

OK so maybe we aren’t exactly starting off this list with showers of awards and accolades, but that’s perfectly fine because in the late 90s and early 2000‘s Amanda Bynes wasn’t exactly short on star power and popularity. After starring as a cast member on Nickelodeon's All That which is essentially a kids version of Saturday Night Live, Amanda Bynes would eventually get her own spinoff sketch comedy show, appropriately titled the Amanda show.

This would eventually launch her to superstardom, in hindsight perhaps beyond her years, before eventually starring in several cult favorite films such as She's the Man and What a Girl Wants. Instead of catering to the kid crowd like in her small screen career, her big screen career was more geared toward the teenage crowd.

This fame would ultimately be her demise though. She would eventually fall into a downward mental spiral comparable to that of Lindsay Lohan or circa-2007 Britney Spears, including, but not exclusive to, some very raunchy tweets and a few vehicular-related legal shenanigans.

Since then, Bynes has kept a relatively low profile as of late and is seemingly enjoyed the quiet life away from the spotlight that once shown so bright on her at a young age.
