Actors Who Were Supposed To Be The Next Big Thing But Fizzled Out

Josh Lucas

A teenage Josh Lucas moved to Hollywood when he was nineteen to pursue acting. He won guest-starring roles on shows like True Colors and Parker Lewis Can't Lose. For the most part, he's known for playing co-starring characters in films like Reese Witherspoon's Sweet Home Alabama.

Kerri Green

Kerri Green played Andy Carmichael in the 1985 hit The Goonies, and is probably best known for that character. She also played the subject of a love triangle between Corey Haim and Charlie Sheen in Lucas. Her career was sadly meant to stay in the '80s, because none of her other roles were very impactful.
