10 Actors Who Have Never Made A Sequel

1. Daniel Day-Lewis

he was going to win the Best Actor Oscar whenever he released a movie, and while things didn't always go that way, he did take home three of those coveted prizes throughout his illustrious career, for My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood, and Lincoln.

Much like DiCaprio though, Day-Lewis' career choices just didn't lend themselves to sequels. He preferred to act in serious dramas, a category of film that rarely - if ever - leads to a franchise, or even a single followup.

Couple this with his extremely selective nature, and it isn't really a surprise that he never found himself starring in a sequel or two. And considering that he's been retired for the last four years... it looks like he never will.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
