19 TV And Movie Career-Derailing Roles

Being an actor in Hollywood is a gamble. When you are first starting out, you audition and virtually say “yes” to any role in order to pay the rent, get credits, and experience your profession. Plus, most acting roles beat waiting tables any day of the week.

However, when you’re an established star on the big screen or on television, a new type of gambling is introduced. After a few well-received projects under your belt, a star has to consider whether or not a role will continue their career winning streak or crash it into the fire, derailing momentum and possibly take years to recover. Or worse, it could never recover at all.

This list is about those roles that actors wish they could erase from the Internet and from their lives as a whole. Take a look into some of the movies that actors regret passing and that jeopardized their future.
