Yeah shit is dark, especially after the decade of memes about him
When you look at all the people who've been accused of sexual harrasment and those that are the victims, I legit wonder how many more victims careers ended because of this.
Peter Jackson even said he was told not to hire certain actresses and he didn't think twice to ask about it.
Halle Berrys career died? Wasn't she just in Kingsman last year and gonna be in John Wick next year?
Halle Berry still is part of successful movies. It's not as white hot as it was but she does well.
I think Lucy Liu is still working. Didn't she recently have that Sherlock show?
YUP. im sure many have been shunned or blacklisted because of incidents, I mean look at weinstein as prolific as he was, im sure there are others just as powerful in hollywood he put bugs in studio execs ears just to do so.
Elementary is still on going actually. Heading into its seventh season.
Is she? I haven't heard her name in years (not that I pay a lot of attention mind). I know her career nosedived after Catwoman.
I don't think that's on par with the megastar she was in the early 2000s though
Alicia Silverstone probably cut back on acting after she became a mother, but the last film I saw her in was The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) so she's still doing some stuff. It wasn't a big part, but she looked as stunning as ever.
Lucy Liu is in a new Netflix Original movie/show.
Did Lewis end? Did it have a finale? Or did they just not renew it for a new season?
Lucy Liu also directed the opening episode of Luke Cage Season 2
Like I said, it's not as white hot but she does well. Over the past 5 years she's starred in The Call (did very well), Kidnap (underperformed), and Kings (never heard of it but co-stars with Daniel Craig and apparently it sucks).
She's had non-starring roles in Kingsmen: The Golden Circle and Days of Future Past.
She's co-starring in John Wick 3 next year. Contraction doesn't mean death.
Are we counting tv actors? Because half of the main seinfeld cast never seemed to find much more success outside of seinfeld. Hell the Kramer actor straight up ruined any chance at a career with his racist rant.
Josh Hartnett always comes to mind, I know he's on Penny Dreadful but he seems to have pretty much vanished from big blockbusters.
John Leguizamo does bit parts here and there. He was in both John Wick movies recently.
I think a lot of stars who come to mind have simply transitioned to television, but that being said...
Lindsay Lohan

Crazy what actually reading the OP can do for you.
Again, contraction doesn't mean death. Eminem isn't nearly as big as he once was but still one of the biggest rappers out. She's done mostly voice work and Netflix stuff recently but she also directs. Lucy Liu does very well.
Batman & Robin derailed Silverstone who'd been a rising star at the time. Don't think she ever quite recovered.
Liu isn't in a lot of big movies anymore but she's done the Elementary TV show for years. A steady TV gig can be just as healthy.
Probably doesn't count as he walked away from acting and basically retired to take care of his kids and just never really came back to it. Struck me as mostly on his own terms.
Geena Davis was just in the Exorcist TV show.
Katherine Heigl went from starring in movies like Knocked Up to NyQuil and kitty litter commercials, to failed TV shows. Although I think she is being brought in during the next season of Suits.

lol i wouldn't say his career is dead.
but you're right...i think he wanted a break from acting to focus on other stuff.
I don't think Moranis should count since he retired to raise his kids after his wife died.
