10 Actors Hollywood Has Stopped Working With Who Deserve Another Chance

Only a few years ago there were few actors that moviegoers were sicker of seeing on the big screen than Taylor Kitsch. One of the stars of the beloved show Friday Night Lights, he had a quality to him that led Hollywood to tap him as the next big thing prematurely.

Forced down the throats of the audience, as a result, he starred in several lambasted movies like The Covenant, John Carter, and Battleship. On top of that, his spotty performance as Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine let fans of him and the character down.

Considering how frustrated by the overabundance of Kitsch filmgoers were, it is likely to surprise many people that he appears on this list. However, he was great in the movie Lone Survivor and his television performance as David Koresh in the 2018 miniseries Waco deserves a lot more attention. As such, his Hollywood return needs to start out in supporting roles so he can have a much more organic rise and win audiences over.

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.
