What Are Some One Hit Wonder Actors Who Should Have Stayed Big?

Question by John Crisp: What are some one hit wonder actors who should have stayed big?
Im watching “Young Einstein” with Yahoo Serious, and while he never amounted to much after it was still a hit movie at the time.

Best answer:

Answer by Trever
Hitler

Answer by MystMoonstruck
Leonard Whiting of “Romeo and Juliet” (1968)
Christopher Jones of “Wild in the Streets”
Gary Busey of “The Buddy Holly Story”
Kelli Maroney of “Night of the Comet”
Brad Davis of “Midnight Express”
Ray Sharkey of “The Idolmaker”

Yes, they’ve had other roles, but people thought they were going to have major careers, most of those on the list in lead roles. Kelli Maroney was expected to show up in main supporting roles. Ray Sharkey could have handled leads or character roles; like Brad Davis, drug abuse led to early deaths~Sharkey at 40; Davis at 41.
