10 Awesome Actors Who Totally Lost Their Momentum
1. Jack O’Connell
Following a successful role in the popular British TV show Skins, Jack O’Connell turned his attention to Hollywood, breaking onto the scene with an incredibly violent and memorable starring role in 2013’s Starred Up. He went on to lead Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken in 2014 and a well-received role in ’71.
But since his breakout and moderate success between 2013 and 2014, the well dried up incredibly quickly. His only wide release has been in 2016’s Money Monster, with his three subsequent releases in 2017 and 2018 being very small releases with mixed to negative responses.
O’Connell has four upcoming releases that all appear to be fairly small movies production-wise, but maybe one of them can recreate the magic that Starred Up did for him six years ago.
