10 Actors Who Need To Make A Great Movie Before It's Too Late

4. Orlando Bloom

Orlando BloomLast Great Movie: Oh, God, it's actuallyPirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) Remember Orlando Bloom? He was that promising young actor who had star turns in The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean movies a few years ago. And now... well, where is Orlando Bloom now? Have you seen him anywhere? Fact is, after the first three Pirates movies, Orlando Bloom decided to take a little break, which resulted in nearly everyone forgetting that he existed. I'm almost positive he's finding it hard to score roles now. I mean, I'm just guessing, but why else would you choose to star in an incredibly low-budget French movie called Zulu that was one of the worst reviewed movies at Cannes? Yes, he's appearing in the next two Hobbit flicks, and yes, it'll be nice to see him, but Legolas is hardly a proper acting gig. What's most apparent is that Orlando has never, ever shown us whether or not he can act. And as a result, we're not really bothered about whether or not he's in stuff. Come on, Orlando - do something worthwhile and show us what you're made of!
