Matt Damon sure had it rough.

2017 was a fantastic year for many of Hollywood's latest and greatest, but of course, not everyone can be winners in the grand lottery that is the film industry, and these 10 actors certainly didn't enjoy much prosperity over the last 12 months.

Either because they took the easy paycheck roles over anything remotely challenging, plumbed the depths of the straight-to-VOD doldrums, were repeatedly miscast or simply tried their best in numerous movies unworthy of their talents, these 10 actors haven't been able to enjoy both artistic fulfilment and commercial success in 2017.

Considering that most of them are hugely popular actors and many of them even have Oscars to their names, it's legitimately sad and disappointing to see them struggling so much across the year.

Still, with Hollywood being as fickle as it is, there's always next year, and at least a few of these actors will surely bounce back with a cracking 2018 (while some of them just might go one worse next year)...
