10 Well Known Actors Who Got Worse Over Time

10. Julianne Moore

Starting off the list is Julianne Moore, who earned some acclaim throughout the nineties. By appearing in films such as The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The Big Lebowski and Magnolia, she established herself as a talented leading actress.

Moore would often sign on to play vulnerable characters that many audience members could relate to. On the whole, she showcased a great versatility across a three-decade-long filmography. The occasional dud like 2002's Hannibal was superseded by hits like Game Change, and in the early 2010s she finally reached accolades with Maps To The Stars and Still Alice. The latter landed her the academy award for best actress.

But, since 2014, the actress's career has hit a slump. She went from Oscar worthy performances to very ho-hum appearances in Kingsman: The Golden Circle and other efforts. Her more recent forays into blockbuster franchises have led to some seriously forgettable performances. This same mediocrity carried through into The Hunger Games series for its last couple of entries.

Moore's strong performance in the 2018 release of Gloria Bell is a bright spot, but for the most part, the peaks of her acting career appear to be behind her at this point.
