10 Small Actors Who Really SHOULD Catch A Break

9. Juliette Lewis

There was a time when it was hard to look around the film business and not see the face of Juliette Lewis. She had some significant roles in very notable films including Cape Fear (for which she received an Academy Award nomination) What's Eating Gilbert's Grape and Natural Born Killers. In each of these titles, Lewis showed that she could play a great variety of roles and always come across appropriately wherever she was placed.

However, despite these being big projects, Lewis never took off as a massively influential performer, and this is somewhat inexplicable. She had the right tools and appeared in a decent variety of projects, but never found the one right title to carry her into real superstardom.

Nowadays she is working comfortably in many different projects, with notable roles in films like Ma and TV like Sacred Lies, but it feels like she is capable of so much more.

Being so well decorated and talented, she could be one of the top industry veterans of the contemporary era, if she just caught a decent enough break.
