8 Actors Who Have Only Made One Good Movie

1. Jamie Dornan - Anthropoid

Jamie Dornan may have earned strong acclaim for his work on TV show The Fall, but in the film world he's struggled to shake loose the baggage that comes with starring in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise.

He hasn't appeared in too many movies in fairness, but nevertheless, his single well-received film to date is 2016 war-epic Anthropoid - don't feel bad if you haven't heard of it - which received praise for its gritty authenticity and both Dornan and Cillian Murphy's solid performances.

With his upcoming HBO movie My Dinner with Hervé due to release soon, he could very well end up with a second critical hit to his name, but shortly thereafter he'll have to endure the inevitable critical dud that is Robin Hood (in which he plays Will Scarlet).

Will these actors ever strike it lucky again? Got any other examples? Shout them out in the comments!
