10 Actors Who Had Incredible Career Revivals

While Matthew McConaughey goes through erratic waves of success, his career revival in the 2010s is that of legend.

Following his success in the 90s, McConaughey became stuck as the rom-com man throughout most of the 2000s, and it seemed unlikely that he would ever break free from his typecasting.

McConaughey started to take a more serious turn in 2011, then in 2012 Magic Mike was a phenomenon, turning everything he’d been stereotyped as on its head to create a beloved celebration of such traits.

The McConaissance was in full effect by 2013, with a startling Oscar winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club and the lead role in 2014’s Interstellar and the TV series True Detective. McConaughey’s early 2010s filmography is full of interesting dramatic and indie roles, making up for the lost years of the 2000s he spent stuck in drivel.
