Fame ain’t loyal and these almost favorite celebrities know it better than anyone else. Even though it looked like their careers were headed straight to the top, Hollywood had other plans. But we’re still holding out hope for a comeback!
Image Souce: WENN.comBill Bellamy
When Bill Bellamy broke onto the comedy scene he had the charm, looks and talent to take him all the way to A-list celebrity status. But Bill Bellamy never really made it out of the 90s. But now that he’s been slowly popping back onto the scene and we don’t think we’ve heard the last from him yet.
Jessica Biel
When we saw Jessica Biel on the premiere of New Girl, we suddenly remembered that Jessica was one of the hottest stars of the 00s. But a few inappropriate pictures ruined her good girl image from Seventh Heaven and her career never really recovered.
Amerie
It’s nearly 10 years later and we still get 1 Thing stuck in our heads every time we hear it. We thought Amerie was on her way to becoming the next Beyonce. But for some reason, that second thing never really happened for Amerie.
David Alan Grier
David Alan Grier is brilliant, a Yale grad and one of the best cast members on In Living Color. And we can’t figure out why Mr. Grier was never able to break into leading man or A-list status.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas
He was the voice of Simba in the Lion King and everyone’s favorite crush from Home Improvement. And millions of teenaged girls thought he was going to be the next Brad Pitt. But as the years and the rare walk-ons dragged on it was clear that Jonathan isn’t planning on breaking into the big time any time soon.
Kel Mitchell
Keenan and Kel were Nickelodeon’s best kid comics. But when the comedic duo parted ways after Keenan and Kel, we rarely saw Kel on TV again. Luckily you can catch him on MadameNoire.
Jaleel White
Right about the time that Steve Urkel turned into Stefan Urkel, Family Matters fans started waiting for a rom com starring Jaleel White. But Jaleel surprised everyone by becoming famous as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog instead of as a leading man. But lately he’s been popping up in front of the camera so often that fans are starting to get hopeful again.
Lisa Bonet
Lisa Bonet will always have a special place in our hearts. But after her abrupt exit from the Cosby Show, Lisa Bonet’s career never picked up the momentum we thought it deserved.
Kim Wayans
Kim will always be our favorite Wayans, but despite her In Living Color popularity Kim never really managed to pull ahead of the pack. But now that she has a new role on Reckless, our dreams of anything starring Kim Wayans don’t feel so far fetched.
Lark Voorhies
“What happened to Lisa Turtle?” was the big question on everyone’s mind when Lark Voorhies popped out of obscurity and into the tabloids for her bizarre behavior. But back when she was still on Saved By the Bell, we thought Bayside High’s most popular valley girl would be one of the cast’s breakout stars.
Karyn Parsons
Speaking of child stars from the 90s, Hilary Banks was the Fresh Prince of Bel Air fashionista that we thought was on her way to being a TV staple. But aside from an appearance in The Ladies Man, we haven’t heard anything from Karyn in years.
Mischa Barton
OC fans were sure that Marissa Cooper was going to launch right into super-star status after filming rapped. But Mischa’s momentum never really took off.
