BILLY ZANE
Known as Kate Winslet’s fiancé in Titanic, Billy Zane managed to make an impact on his role. He managed to gain a solid fanbase as he got the attention of the movie’s fans. Though he was appreciated for being Kate’s self-absorbed fiancé, his succeeding project didn’t seem to gather many reactions.
He also had a few TV appearances, but it didn’t have a significant impact on his career. Part of his exposures were Guilt, Curfew, and Mad Dogs. Those films were a bit better than the previous ones, but he was still not able to regain his fame. Crossing our fingers that his stagnant career won’t lead to credit loans.
TOM WELLING
How can one possibly resist the charisma of Tom Welling? The American actor grew up in the limelight where he’s known as the younger version of Clark Kent in the hit series Smallville. The Superman adaptation managed to run for 10 years, which allowed fans to see him grow up in the spotlight. When the series’ final episode aired, welling eventually took a much-needed rest. He focused on his personal life and might have even considered thinking about investments.
Though he stepped away for a brief period, he chose his roles carefully. His TV comeback with Fox’s Lucifer, however, helped him pull through.
CHRISTOPHER MINTZ-PLASSE
Countless celebrities struggled with the burden of typecasting. One of which is Superbad’s very own Christopher Mintz-Plasse who played the role of Fogell. The actor did well in the comedy series, which gave him a chance to probably invest in home security and other necessities. He was also part of different films such as Kick-Ass, Role Models, and Pitch Perfect. All of these roles, however, have one thing in common: a geeky character.
Though the films did very well, Mintz-Plasse outdrew his character persona as the geeky type. He’s been mum when it comes to the big screen for now, but he did land voice over projects.
JUDGE REINHOLD
American actor Judge Reinhold managed to have a fine time in Hollywood. He snagged a role in classic movies such as Ruthless People, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Gremlin. These films might have promoted him to have several investments as the time in the spotlight doesn’t usually last long.
It’s been years since he made it to the big screen, but he did have a few cameos. He played some roles in Arrested Development and The O’Keefe’s. Those he already had a few camos, some of his projects such as Beverly Hills Cops were canceled before it was even aired.
GARY BUSEY
Iconic celebrity Gary Busey made his way into the limelight for a controversial cause. Though he was able to bag an Oscar nomination while his career is at the peak, he eventually went into a sudden crash due to his misconduct. His stardom was put to an end after he experienced a major crash. We’re not sure if he had insurance for his medical needs, but we’re glad he survived the crash. Unfortunately, he then struggled with substance abuse.
The struggles he went through didn’t urge him to change one bit. He’s been very vocal about his stand against motorcycle helmets which cost him his career. Most of his TV features are nothing but cameos and guesting.
BRENDAN FRASER
Known for his role in Bedazzled, Actor Brendan Fraser had his fair share in the spotlight. The Mummy trilogy star was on top of his career as his role landed him several investments. Aside from the latter being said, he also managed to land a role in Monkeybone, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and Furry Vengeance.
Although his career was already reaching new heights, he eventually took a downfall. He declined a role in Journey to the Center of the Earth, which could have been a huge break. According to Deadline’s report, the reason for the decline was that he owned his loyalty to the film’s original director.

Landing a role as Jacob, fans are torn between him and Edward (played by Robert Pattinson) when it comes to Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) partner.

Though he had a few projects that were a bit underwhelming, he eventually bagged a role in several comedy films. He starred in Cuckoo, Grown Ups 2, and The Ridiculous Six. These films allowed him to kickstart his return and would allow him to work on investment planning.
HUGH GRANT
Hugh Grant is one of the iconic celebrities that managed his way to go in and out of the headlines. He aced his way through several scandalous headlines with or without the help of an attorney. His hit movies are Notting Hill, Love Actually, and Bridget Jones’s Diary, and what captured the viewers’ interest is probably his flexibility in acting roles.
Though he stayed on top of his game for a while, it eventually declined. He tried out other roles when he was chosen for Cloud Atlas and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Though both films may be new, it seems to have not impressed his fans.
