10 Top Class Actors In Desperate Need Of A Hit

10. Kiera Knightley

Kiera Knightley is a wonderful presence in the film industry, as she has an abundance of charm not only in her performances but her general personality as well. The English actor made her name mostly from the incredibly popular Pirates of the Caribbean series. Although she had been a moderately well-known star before then, this was what brought her name into the mainstream.

As of late, her films have not been very well publicised. She has had some great showings in smaller projects such as Misbehaviour and Colette, but nothing has come close to matching the amount of success that she bore in the high-points of her career.

One of the biggest failures has to be Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms where she played the iconic Sugar Plum Fairy. This film was received very poorly by critics and did not gain a decent amount of traction anywhere. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who even remembers the film.

Knightley is a great performer with a real prestigious presence, but to keep that alive, she desperately needs a movie to bring her back into the mainstream.
