Before he started performing in Hollywood films, Mike Vogel was a model for Levi’s. Later on, he caught the eye of talent scouts and was cast in the TV series Grounded for Life for recurring roles between 2001 and 2004. He made his film debut in Grind. The American actor and former model landed his next role as Heath in the TV remake of Wuthering Heights, which aired on MTV just a month after Grind’s release in September 2003.
Mike Vogel’s biggest hit as an actor was with the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in 2003, which garnered high box office ratings. Vogel is certainly an actor on the rise, but will he shine even more or become an unfortunate addition to the long list of Hollywood busts? He currently stars in NBC’s new military drama series, The Brave.
Josh Lucas
Josh Lucas started acting in films and TV shows when he was still a 19-year-old teenager after he relocated to Hollywood following his graduation from high school. The American actor was featured as a guest star on a number of TV sitcoms during his 20s, such as Fox's True Colors and Parker Lewis Can't Lose, the family drama Life Goes On, and CBS's Jake and the Fatman.
Lucas entered the international stage after his performances in Sweet Home Alabama, A Beautiful Mind, and the character Glenn Talbot in Hulk. He enjoyed further global recognition in a string of leading roles in films like Glory Road, Poseidon, and Stealth. Nevertheless, none of those films managed to transform him into a true icon on the big screen. Josh Lucas currently stars in the police procedural The Mysteries of Laura.
Kerri Green
After a bunch of teen dramas, the American actress enjoyed a breakthrough in her career after she was chosen to play the role of a cheerleader who became an adventurer, Andrea "Andy" Carmichael, in the 1985 movie The Goonies. Green achieved even more global praise after she starred in the film Lucas in 1986 as the focal point of a love triangle between Corey Haim and Charlie Sheen’s characters.
Her next film though, Three for the Road, ended poorly even though she co-starred with Charlie Sheen and Alan Ruck. Kerri Green made an appearance in an episode of Heat of the Night, two episodes of the television sitcom Mad About You, and worked on an indie film called Blue Flame.
Nick Stahl
Nick Stahl began as a child actor, garnering acclaim for his work in the 1993 movie The Man Without a Face alongside Hollywood legend Mel Gibson. Compared to other child stars who became “one-hit wonders,” Stahl managed to transition into his adult career pretty well, with performances in prominent movies like The Thin Red Line, In the Bedroom, Bully, Sin City, and more.
Unfortunately, on December 27th, 2012, Stahl was apprehended by police officers at an adult film store in Hollywood, California, due to performing lewd acts. A year later, he was arrested for carrying methamphetamine. During an interview at the Dallas Comic Show in 2017, the American actor shared that he has taken time to focus on family and sobriety but has plans to make a comeback soon. Let's see what happens.
Topher Grace
Topher Grace is best known for his performance as Eric Forman in the Fox sitcom That '70s Show. Aside from that, he’s a familiar face in numerous Hollywood films, like Eddie Brock and Venom in Spider-Man 3, Pete Monash in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! He is also featured in other films, such as Traffic, Mona Lisa Smile, Valentine's Day, Take Me Home Tonight, The Big Wedding, War Machine, and Under the Silver Lake.
Just like other That ’70s Show co-stars, Topher Grace failed to launch his career despite having prominent roles in blockbuster hits like Spider-Man 3, Predators, and Interstellar. You can call it a That’ 70s curse or something, but Grace, for some reason, never became a true star in Hollywood, even though he should have been.
