One-Hit Movie Wonders - Part 2

I made a list a few months ago about actors who everyone seems to know, but in all honesty have only made one good movie in their career and shouldn't be as famous as they are.  Well, I came up with a few more actors who fit this bill.  Let's do this:

  • Megan Fox, Transformers - While Megan has only one role that everyone knows her for, she has a chance to redeem herself because she will playing the iconic April O'Neil in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.  However, she was so bad in Jonah Hex, I don't know if she is redeemable.
  • Anthony Hopkins, The Silence of the Lambs - Considering how incredible his character was in this movie and considering he won an Oscar for this part despite only being onscreen for 12 minutes, it's shocking that he has done a whole lot of nothing since this movie.  I honestly can't name one good movie he has done since Silence of the Lambs.  Nothing.
  • Alicia Silverstone, Clueless - Name something else she has done, I dare you.  If you said Batman & Robin, then you proved my point for me.  So, thanks.
  • Christopher Lloyd, Back to the Future - While Doc has done some things I have enjoyed over the years (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?), he hasn't really starred in anything in 15 years.
  • Jennifer Grey, Dirty Dancing - Some people might say "What about Ferris Bueller or Red Dawn?"  My point exactly, she played small parts in both and since Dirty Dancing, she hasn't been heard from again.
  • Mark Hamill, Star Wars - This one is sad, but true.  He does do a lot of voice work (The Joker in any animated Batman stuff), but other than Luke Skywalker, he never could get any other acting work unlike Han Solo.

"She might not be able to act, but at least she is hot."
