these actors may be well known but they
need a big movie sooner rather than
later
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actors who need a hit movie to save
their career before we begin we publish
new videos every day so be sure to
subscribe for more great content for
this list we’re focusing on actors and
actresses that have already had success
in Hollywood but just haven’t had much
luck lately
number 10 Sam Worthington I can link
with Tommy’s avatar which is insanely
expensive since his lead role in 2009’s
avatar it’s been a rough go for this
Australian actor sure there is an avatar
sequel coming in 2020 but sam
worthington recent filmography has been
anything but spectacular he remains a
working actor with notable roles in
blockbusters like Everest and hacksaw
Ridge but he’s undeniably lost his clout
as a potential Hollywood a-lister plus
his 2014 legal troubles involving the
alleged assault of a paparazzo might
make directors think twice about casting
him hopefully at least one of the four
planned avatar sequels will bring
Worthington back to the a-list something
you can teach number 9 Garrett Hedlund
already you talked me out of fighting in
2004 this American actor emerged with
standout performances in both Troy and
Friday Night Lights at the time it
seemed like Garrett Hedlund would be
breaking hearts and cashing checks for
years to come
but since 2010’s Tron Legacy he’s fallen
into a James Dean type character
archetype you know the squinty-eyed
cigarette-smoking character we’ve all
seen before just take a look at
Headlands performance and on the road
and inside Lewin Davis for reference all
the lost rooms laid on you he still got
heartthrob appeal and maintains a decent
Hollywood resume appearing in 2017 s mud
bound but well Garrett Hedlund become a
true leading man or remain a perpetual
supporting actor sometimes I actually
miss it number 8 Shia LaBeouf
Shaya shyah shyah this man used to have
it all
geez he was even looking like the
successor to Indiana Jones at one point
but then he started acting strange and
whereas some eccentric actors like James
Franco have charm Shia LaBeouf often
appears unlikable with his egocentric
ways and bizarre behavior recently Shia
appears to be back on track with films
like fury American honey and Borg
McEnroe but only time will tell if he’s
gonna be the prototypical Indy minded
actor who’s committed to the craft or
the Hollywood actor who’s committed to
maintaining a public image number 7
Megan Fox is crazy pretty good treasurer
thanks to the Transformers and Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles franchises this
American actress has become a cinematic
sex symbol
but many movie fans are wondering what
Megan Fox has to offer beyond her
obvious sex appeal way back in 2012 she
showed off a comedic side in Judd Apatow
so this is 40 but we’ve only seen her as
April O’Neill since then so as Megan Fox
enters the next stage of her career she
doesn’t have much on her resume besides
critically lambaste in franchise movies
she may live a comfortable life but will
she have a legacy beyond her most famous
roles by the time I’m 40 these are gonna
go National Geographic on me number 6
Jai Courtney would you’ve chosen
differently out of fear if you’re not
familiar with this Australian actor and
you probably haven’t seen the divergent
movie franchise he’s also reached mass
audiences with roles in Suicide Squad
and Terminator Genisys but here’s what
his fans want a leading role in a major
Hollywood film his 2016 movie the
exception didn’t exactly kill at the box
office in fact it made less than a
million dollars while he recently showed
off a good sense of comedic timing and
Netflix’s wet hot American summer 10
years later his IMDB page is relatively
sparse in regards to future big budget
projects here’s hoping that changes
Detroit number 5
Charlie Hunnam
for seven seasons on FX’s sons of
anarchy this man was so good in the
leading role that many viewers didn’t
even know he’s actually from England
unfortunately Charlie Hunnam
transitioned into feature films hasn’t
exactly won him the same renown it’s not
like he hasn’t been given the
opportunity however with roles in
crimson peak and King Arthur legend of
the sword but he’s still at a cinematic
crossroad so to speak well I have
enemies when you can have friends if
Charlie Hunnam leading role in the
Papillon remake doesn’t connect with
mainstream audiences then we just may
see him returning to the small screen
although that might not be a bad thing
well with streaming services like
Netflix and Hulu on the rise if I can’t
do this for eight days I got no business
playing this do two and do it for five
years
number four Taylor Lautner just don’t
get mad okay as of now this buff
American actors career has been defined
by the Twilight Saga for some Taylor
Lautner is Jacob black and that’s it
considering the massive success of the
vampire franchise it’s been difficult
for laudner to establish himself
elsewhere in Hollywood he was frat boy
Andy and grownups too and he also played
little Pete in the Adam Sandler flick
the ridiculous six neither of which was
the most high-profile of parts while a
main role on screen Queens kept him in
the spotlight it doesn’t seem like
laudner is a hot commodity in Hollywood
as much as he once was so you’ll be
happy to know your friend is responding
very well number three Jessica Biel
we’re just gonna be running around the
neighborhood we won’t be two minutes
from the house for years this American
actress seemed like she was always on
the cusp of breaking into superstardom
she’s a former 7th heaven starlet who’s
been able to maintain a steady career in
the movie industry add to that the fact
that she’s married to Justin Timberlake
and things seem to be going pretty well
for her however she’s yet to land that
one special role yes she’s been in some
blockbuster films like the a-team Total
Recall and even some notable rom-coms
but Bale still seems to be trending
downward despite her best efforts to
display her versatility as an actress
perhaps Rob Reiner shock-and-awe will
reignite her career he’s
number two Taylor Kitsch good friends
live in large and texts this Canadian
just can’t seem to catch a break mostly
known as Tim Riggins from the TV series
Friday Night Lights pitches main issue
isn’t his lack of acting talent but
rather his choice of projects 2012
should have been his year but the three
movies he starred in John Carter
battleship and savages were
disappointments either critically
financially or both things were looking
up when he was cast in the sophomore
season of HBO’s True detective but the
season was nowhere near as well received
as the first admirably kitch hasn’t
slowed down even though the upper
echelons of stardom always seemed to be
just out of his reach never a fight
number one Orlando Bloom
there was a time when this english actor
was a legit a lister and a movie
heartthrob in the 2000s Orlando Bloom
reached superstar status with iconic
roles in both the Lord of the Rings and
the Pirates of the Caribbean franchises
not to mention leading roles in troy and
kingdom of heaven but then Elizabethtown
happened whimsical
since then Orlando has failed to
maintain his mainstream mojo as
evidenced by a recent supporting role in
the indie drama Dee digging for fire and
a leading role in the flop thriller
unlocked it’s now or never for Orlando
Bloom and it just doesn’t seem like
smart Chase will be the mainstream hit
that he needs this is a chance to
restore our reputation do you agree with
