What formerly great actors (actresses) have degenerated to so-so or just plain bad?

The guy who talks to chairs. I can’t seem to remember his name.

@gailcalled
I think his name was Cunt Westbush.

Robert de Niro – he’s all grimace and shtick now.

Kevin Clash
Elmo has been mediocre for years.

Lauren Bacall, Betty Davis, and Joan Crawford, all went through that.

Okay, I’ll try people you guys remember.

Rutger Hauer was great when he was young. He rarely gets that intensity now. Blade Runner was so cool, but the last time I liked him was Sin City. And yes, I saw Hobo with a Shotgun.

Not exactly the same thing, but Seth Rogan just doesn’t cut it anymore. He is like audio captioning for the blind. He just says what just happened. “Wow, you just pushed a button and this car suddenly appears!”

As the unasked corollary, just look at Dame Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey as she steals every scene in which she appears, at age 77.

Meg Ryan. She looks like poop after all of her cosmetic “enhancements.” She is not aging well at all and her botox lip fiasco of a few years ago was hideous.
She was the most adorable little thing once upon a time.

This fate befalls all of them….eventually.
