Adrien Brody

The only Oscar winner on this list, Adrien Brody's career is one that seems to have flamed out rather quickly after reaching its peak with Roman Polanski's The Pianist in 2003. From there Hollywood attempted to capitalize on his prestige with leading roles in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village and Peter Jackson's King Kong to some success, but Brody wasn't a star who could sell major blockbusters. His last real shot came in 2010's Predators sequel, which saw the Oscar winner lead a talented ensemble cast. However, since then Brody's career has gone unnoticed by most mainstream audiences.
