15 Actors Who Desperately Need A Hit

7. John Travolta

John Travolta has had one of the more unpredictable careers of just about any actor out there: he started out strong with hits like Saturday Night Fever and Grease, then got relegated to the Look Who's Talking franchise until Quentin Tarantino bailed him out with Pulp Fiction.

Travolta was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his work on the film, and the move is largely credited with reviving his career...at least until 2000's calamitous Battlefield Earth came along.

His last significant hit was 2009's Old Dogs, and in the years prior to that successes had been fairly sporadic. He's mostly relegated to straight-to-VOD thrillers these days, and he's clearly just waiting for Tarantino to come a-calling and rescue his career once again.
