12 Actors Who Basically Guarantee You Make A Flop

4. Jessica Biel

Now we're getting onto the actors who truly are box office poison. Jessica Biel may not be the best actress out there, but she's gorgeous and generally does a decent enough job in most things she stars in, yet her hits of the last decade truly are few and far between. They include Cellular, Blade: Trinity (a franchise sold on Wesley Snipes), The Illusionist, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (sold on Adam Sandler), Valentine's Day (a massive ensemble) and New Year's Eve (another big ensemble). And the flops? Take a big breath: Stealth (her biggest flop), Elizabethtown, London, Home of the Brave, Next, Easy Virtue, Planet 51, Powder Blue, The A-Team (another big flop), Total Recall (yet another blockbuster bomb), The Tall Man, Playing for Keeps, Hitchcock and The Truth about Emanuel. Why Is She A Flop? Poor choices on the part of her agent are one thing, though Biel doesn't exactly have a lot of screen presence in even her good roles, and in most of the aforementioned movies both good and bad, she's not really very memorable (not that this makes her a bad actress per se). She needs a big, juicy role that will endear audiences to her, though we don't see it on the horizon anytime soon, especially with three big-budget bombs under her belt.
