Name a single movie that nearly invalidates an actor's entire career.

[Doc Holliday]

1. I'm gonna go out on a limb

and venture a guess that "invalidates an actor's career" means that the movie is of such poor quality as to make the viewer ask, "Why in hell did (s)he make that piece of shit?"

Okay, let me put on my Film Critic hat.

Other than the obvious answer (money), there are a lot of movies which prompt this question. Here are a few of my picks, no particular ranking.

Kiss of Death - a huge waste of an excellent ensemble of actors: Helen Hunt, Nicolas Cage, Samuel L. Jackson, Ving Rhames. David Caruso is already a waste as an actor...shoulda stayed on NYPD Blue.

Scarface - I know it's practically sacrilege to diss Scarface... but were there no actual Latino actors who could have done this film? A bunch of white guys clumsily trying to act Cuban? Spare me. Even the usually awesome Pacino couldn't save this overdone turkey.

Breakfast of Champions - Neither this nor Slaughterhouse-5 translated very well to the big screen. Bruce Willis really should have known better. A great novel does not guarantee a great movie-- as fans of Stephen King's novels know all too well.

Waterworld - this would have been an awesome vehicle for an up-and-coming actor who wants to make a name for himself. But Costner had already shot himself in the foot with The Bodyguard; did he feel the need to double down?
