10 Top Class Actors In Desperate Need Of A Hit

9. Johnny Depp

Regardless of any real-life personal issues he's currently facing, the films Johnny Depp has made in past years have not been up to standard. While Depp also established a lot of success from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, he was a very well-decorated actor even before he got this role. Great performances in films like Edward Scissorhands and Donnie Brasco were a big part of this.

However, it seems that as the Pirates franchise began to dwindle in popularity, so did his stock. He still made high-profile appearances but never in films that were overwhelmingly popular - with maybe Alice in Wonderland as an exception.

Ultimately his last few projects have been dull, and his performance as Grindlewald whilst very high-profile seems to have damaged his popularity more than resuscitated it. Further from this, his recent firing from the franchise will undoubtedly do a tonne of damage to his credibility. Ultimately, It seems that nothing has gone well in regards to his involvement with the world of Potter.

The best way for him to get back into the good graces of fans would be a hit movie that reminds us why we all loved him to begin with. However, it seems that this high-profile job loss might impact his ability to get any work at all, let alone a big hit. Only time will tell.
