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

Alex Pettyfer

Rember Stormbreaker? That 2006 film won Alex Pettyfer an Empire Award. Since then, he's gone on to star in several young adult romance movies and even land a gig modeling for Burberry. But otherwise, he hasn't done much else. 

Magic Mike'd

After co-starring alongside Channing Tatum in Magic Mike and playing the lead in Endless Love, Pettyfer's career came to a halt. He appeared in several interviews where he came off as pretentious and annoying. Needless to say, fans didn't love that.
