    That is a VERY naive take. A movie can make or break an actor/actress’s career.

      Exactly. What has Hayden Christensen done since the prequels? Mike Meyers pretty much ended with The Love Guru. Megan Fox did Transformers and was on the rise, then did some flops like Jennifer’s body.

      It doesn’t matter if the actor is good or not. You’re associated with a failure now, so Hollywood is going to consider that when hiring you to do something else

        Megan Fox isn’t the best example. She stopped getting work because she would publicly talk shit on the directors of projects she worked with.
