5. Christian Slater
Another late 80's-early 90's wonderkid, Christian Slater gained respectability co-starring with the legendary Sean Connery in The Name of the Rose. He followed that up with roles in rebellious youth fare movies as Heathers and Pump Up The Volume. He had the smarmy looks and demeanor of Jack Nicholson. He became the 'Outsider' of the Hollywood hunks of the day, captivated by his role as Arkansas Dave Rutabagh in Young Guns 2 and Clarence in True Romance. he even shared billing with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in Interview With the Vampire, giving him the bronze medal for hunkiness in 1994.
So what happened? For me, the beginning of the end came when he hosted Saturday Night Live in either one of the best or worst episodes in SNL history, depending on if you think spending the week partying with Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider helped or hindered his future acting career. He has since gone down in cult comedy culture with the infamous Saturday Night Live skit 'You Put Your Weed In There', one of the few non-turds pooped out by Rob Schneider. Still being
blocked on the internet by Lorne Michaels, SNL changed the image we had of Slater. Since the mid-nineties, Slater has been steadily popping out turds as quick as the editing room can deliver them, most going straight to video with a few returns to form such as in Very Bad Things or the short-lived TV series Breaking In 10 years later.
