11 Actors Who (Hopefully) Killed Their Careers In 2014

10. Marlon Wayans

In fairness, Marlon Wayans has only appeared in 4 films over the last 5 years, so it's safe to say that his career is already pretty much circling the drain. His single movie role for 2014 was as the lead in spoof A Haunted House 2, the sequel to the critically-reviled box office hit from last year. Still, the law of diminishing returns was in full effect, for this limp sequel (critics gave it 8%) cooked up "only" $23.9 million, which while still turning a profit on the $4 million production budget, is still a far cry from the original movie's $60.1 million haul, essentially stalling plans for the previously-expected third film. Wayans is a talented actor, as he's proven in films like Requiem for a Dream and, dare one say, Scary Movie, so it seems that perhaps he needs to completely hit rock bottom in order to be reborn, and maybe this just might be the way for him to sit up, take notice and think about reinventing himself. With that A Haunted House 3 pay-day likely up in smoke, Wayans needs a drastic re-think about his career.
