    Ed Norton comes to mind.See him in Rounders and he was the perfect guy for the situation.See him in other stuff like the one where he thought he was a famous cowboy movie star squatting as a hermit in vacant Los Angeles houses and it was laughable and it wasn't a comedy.He has to be desperate for $$$$$ where he isn't choosey and just takes what they offer to make quick $$$$.

    Christopher Walken is another guy that does this crap where he takes as many jobs as he can get whether they are good or bad.

      DeNiro

      His last few movies haven't been up to the normally high standards for DeNiro. The cop flick with Paccino was so-so, the Meet the Parents trilogy was average comedy. I mean, I know he's getting up there in age...but I think there are still come decent second-lead roles out there for him. I'd like to see him do something with Eastwood.

          Agree. Seems like it's just volume now for him.

                Adam Sandler for sure too. He hasn't been in anything good since early 2000.

                      Harrison Ford.

                      He's only had 2 movies since 2000 get over a 50% on Rotten Tomatoes (K19: The Widowmaker and the last Indiana Jones movie).

                                    The key word is "Great", some of these actors were never considered great.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                                        Could it be there are a lot fewer roles? When was the last time a good drama was promoted for the big screen?

                                                          This the correct answer...and none of the others are even remotely close to Cage. Go look at IMDB and copy and paste the list of his last 15 movies. Pure garbage.

                                                            They are...but I would never classify Cage as "great" actor. Dont get me wrong im a fan of The Rock and Con Air but they are hardly great cinema.

                                                              Christopher Walken is another guy that does this crap where he takes as many jobs as he can get whether they are good or bad.
                                                              John Wayne did this a lot.
