MindCrime Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Who are some actors that have had only one "big role" in a movie?, and not much else. Example: Ted Levine (Silence of the Lambs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Mark Lee - Gallipoli and his US counterpart... Mark Hamill - Star Wars trilogy. I know that's three movies, but I think it's in the spirit of the question. LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm alone in my feelings for Xanadu, so I though it was best not to smiley it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well for all you know you're alone in your feelings for Warriors and at least we KNOW your alone feelings for Xanadu so we feel very sad for it when you neglect it (even if by 'we', we mean 'me' and 'me' hasn't seen either). Awww, poor neglected Xanadu there, there, she still loves you *petpetpet* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Don Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Stephen Stucker, who played Johnny in "Airplane!" He later died of AIDS. He was so funny in that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Malcolm Macdowell, as far as I know Malcom Macdowell?: If O Lucky Man A Clockwork Orange Caligula ...and a Star Trek movie!! You're a bit cruel, I reckon. More correct to say that Malcolm is one of those who was a big star as a young man, but never realy kicked on as a mature actor.

Jenny Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Michael Shoeffling (don't know if I spelled it right). He was the boy of Molly Ringwald's dreams in "Sixteen Candles" and now....poof, he's gone. Same with Michael Pare of "Eddie and The Cruisers" fame.

Mike Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Jennifer Grey... she should have left her nose alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Jennifer Grey... she should have left her nose alone. Yes, she should have left the nose alone, but she had TWO big movies, at least. Ferris Bueller and Dirty Dancing. Does her father Joel Grey qualify as a one-hit wonder?? LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeBB Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 And here's Jennifer's father, Joel Grey: He did kill Buffy (the second time), but I can't think of any really successful film roles other than Cabaret. LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Joel Grey is more Broadway - and proudly so ,I think . I don't believe he ever aspired as to stoop so low as to be a common movie actor . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Joel Grey is more Broadway - and proudly so ,I think . I don't believe he ever aspired as to stoop so low as to be a common movie actor . Oh, no doubt. But you can't deny that he did have just one wonderful and fantastic movie role. A graeter accomplishment than many "stars" would have in a lifetime of films. L.

Kevin Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well , yes... no ... well , as you implied ; why ruin a fine performance with a million sucking films ? He's a Coppola : orchards , and millions to burn - why torture us ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
