Actors Who Suffered For Their Biggest Roles

Emilia Clarke, Terminator Genisys

Not every role can be as perfect as Game of Thrones. Emilia Clarke was early in her career when she took on the role of Sarah from 'Terminator Genisys.' She was relieved when the movie flopped and she didn't have to make another one!

Speaking with Vanity Fair, Clarke said that she saw director Alan Taylor, get "eaten and chewed up on Terminator. He was not the director I remembered. He didn’t have a good time. No one had a good time."

Dev Patel, The Last Airbender

Sometimes, even the actors know that their film is going to flop. He was particularly fed up with his voice not being heard on set. He said it felt like watching a stranger on the big screen.

"I completely felt overwhelmed by the experience," he said, "I felt like I wasn't being heard. That was really scary for me, and that's really when I learned the power of no, the idea of saying no. Listen to that instinct you get when you read those words for the first time."
