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

Topher Grace

Best known for his role on That '70s Show as Eric Foreman, Topher Grace has led a pretty lowkey career. Though he did have some Hollywood roles in Venom, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, Valentine's Day, The Big Wedding, and Take Me Home Tonight, he couldn't find his big break. Much of the That '70s Show cast found themselves in the same boat.

Bridget Fonda

Bridget Fonda scored roles in The Godfather Part III, Single White Female, Point of No Return, and It Could Happen to You. She made a name for herself after she won a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the film Scandal. Sadly, she retired from acting and only attends premieres if her husband, Danny Elfman, does.
