10 Actors Hollywood Has Stopped Working With Who Deserve Another Chance

6. Mo’Nique

Introduced to most people due to her many efforts to elicit laughs, Mo'Nique succeeded as a comedian, which is always impressive given how cutthroat that business is.

Of course, she also developed a huge fan base due to the many comedic roles she took as an actor, including sitcoms like The Parkers and The Mo'Nique Show. Then her career took an unexpected turn when she gave a powerhouse and unflinching performance in the film Precious.

Given a much deserved Academy Award and a long list of other trophies for her best performance, it should have been a star making moment for Mo’Nique. Sadly, all things aren’t fair in the land of glitz and gold and it took 5 years for her to appear in a movie after Precious. An appalling turn of events, there is still time to give her the respect and opportunities she obviously proved that she deserved almost a decade ago.

Growing up I developed a true love for movies and wrestling. I feel that way because I feel a great story has the power to place a filter over the lens that people see the world through. I also discovered comics in my early teens and have become a pop culture junkie. I love to write about my passions and am incredibly happy to have the opportunity to have you read my work.
