10 Comic Book Movie Performances That Ruined Actors' Careers

When you look back at some of the films Sean Connery made, it's amazing that he even got to The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen in the first place. That he apparently turned down The Lord Of The Rings and Gandalf for it suggests he probably deserved all of the fall-out it caused.
