11 Actors Who (Hopefully) Killed Their Careers In 2014

8. Nicola Peltz

In fairness, it's difficult to deny that Nicola Peltz blew up the box office this year (or rather, Michael Bay and Mark Wahlberg did) with the $1.08 billion Transformers: Age of Extinction, making it the highest-grossing film of 2014 worldwide. Still, the movie was widely panned by critics (18%), and while Age of Extinction had plenty more problems than its acting, her performance was criticised by a large quarter of critics, who didn't just long for the days of Megan Fox, but considered Peltz's flat and uninteresting work as Razzie-worthy. Note that Peltz already has one Worst Supporting Actress Razzie nod for her risible work on The Last Airbender. Peltz did at least try something a little different a few weeks later with intriguing indie drama Affluenza, but any financial prospects were largely crippled by a super-limited theatrical run ahead of a muted VOD release, and poor reviews (20%).
