10 Actors Who Virtually Guarantee A Terrible Blockbuster Movie

10. Richard Roxburgh

Richard Roxburgh might not be instantly recognizable to a lot of people, but in the early 2000s he was a regular fixture in Hollywood. The Australian actor's profile has fallen in recent years, which may or may not be due to the fact that any time he signed on for a high-profile role in a big-budget movie, the results were not great.

His first taste of rubbing shoulders with the A-list came in Mission: Impossible II, where he played the heavy of Dougray Scott's Sean Ambrose. It may have been the highest-grossing movie of the year 2000, but the first sequel is still regarded as the weakest installment in the franchise by far.

After appearing in the acclaimed Moulin Rouge!, Roxburgh was again lured into the world of blockbuster filmmaking and played the villain in the terrible adaptation of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, before giving us one of the worst big screen Draculas ever seen in Van Helsing.

Going three-for-three in terms of consecutive duds, he then took a supporting role in the abysmal Stealth, which wound up as one of the biggest box office bombs in history after earning a little over $75m at the box office against a budget of $135m. Hopefully starring in three awful blockbusters in a row was enough to convince him to fire his agent.
