Every aspiring actor dreams of a long and successful role that will enrich him and turn him into a global star. However, this desire has a downside.
Hugh Jackman
Even though Hugh Jackman has long since removed his steel claws and shaved off his sideburns, his name will always be associated with Wolverine. Jackman starred in a considerable number of films, including commercially successful ones, but it was the X-Men who made him famous worldwide. After all, Logan is an extremely colorful character. And one of the most beloved by fans of Marvel comics. Additionally, Jackman has played Wolverine over the years. He played the role of a mutant in both the original X-Men trilogy and the reboot. Moreover, Jackman was the only actor whom they decided not to replace. The rest of the castes have undergone significant changes.
Mark Hamill
Even the rather aged Mark Hamill will always remain our Luke Skywalker – the cult character of this character cannot be interrupted by anything. And yet it is worth noting that during his long career in cinema, Hamill managed to participate in more than 200 projects – films, cartoons, and even video games. Besides, he is widely known for voicing the Joker in the cult animated series about the adventures of Batman, which was released twenty years ago.
Jennifer Aniston
It is logical to assume that Jennifer Aniston is inseparable from the image of Rachel Green from the TV series “Friends”, which she played for ten years. It is also noteworthy here that the multi-part sitcom from screenwriters David Crane and Martha Kaufman eventually acquired the status of a cult – a whole generation grew up on Friends. Six unknown actors suddenly became celebrities and the same moment captivated their stellar roles. Even though Aniston has long left the small screen and is increasingly acting in large commercial projects, her name will always pop up in the context of Friends.
Jim Parsons
The series “The Big Bang Theory” officially ceased to exist – the creators closed the project after the 11th season. Time will tell what will happen to the main stars of the series. However, it is already safe to say that Jim Parsons is unlikely to ever get rid of the image of the theoretical physicist Sheldon Cooper. The reason is simple: he is loved too much. Sheldon Cooper is arguably the first and only character on TV to have another separate series dedicated to him. Although much more.
Johnny Depp
Despite the immense number of vivid and memorable images performed by Johnny Depp in the movies, the viewer will always consider Jack Sparrow. And it’s not so much about Johnny himself as about the insane popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Jack Gleason
Irish actor Jack Gleeson is remembered by many for his role as Joffrey Baratheon from the TV series Game of Thrones. Gleason got used to the character so successfully that some viewers began to hate him. And even send threatening letters. It is not known for certain how much this influenced the psycho-emotional state of the novice actor. But after completing his participation in the series, Gleason decided to end his career. According to him, he “never wanted to be an actor in the same role” and even more so “never aspired to the brilliance of Hollywood.”
Emma Watson
The vast majority of young British actors from Harry Potter have never been able to outshine their stage portraits. Why, even the adults and established actors of the franchise (such for example, Alan Rickman) could not do this? Emma Watson is no exception. It is worth noting that the actress continues to actively act in films, unlike the same Rupert Grint or Tom Felton, and issues at least one movie a year. Oddly enough, Emma had a chance to “shake” Hermione Granger’s status in her film career – the producers offered her a role in Damien Chazelle’s Oscar-winning “La La Land”, but the actress refused in favor of Disney.
