don't laugh, but I vote for Leonardo DiCaprio. He was so great in
What's Eating Gilbert Grape, but has been pretty pale in everything
since.

He was average at best in Gilbert grape. Everything else has been a
travesty. I vote Steve Martin.

Rutger Hauer. He rocked in Bladerunner but it's been mostly
direct-to-video stuff since then.

Eric Roberts. Remember when he used to be the "hot" up-and-coming bad
boy, sort of an '80s DeNiro? Where the hell did he go?

Check the IMDb. He's made a huge number of movies. But
The Pope of Greenwich Village seems to have been his most
notable. I thought he was great in Raggedy Man, which was
Henry Thomas's first movie, before E.T.

His sister's fame eclipsed his, unfortunately.

Eric ("He's-Julia's-Brother") Roberts had (has?) a serious drinking
problem and sexual orientation issues. Hope he's worked them out by
now. He was certainly talented.

I don't know any gossip about him. He is a regular the TV series "Less Than
Perfect" (2002), which probably tells us something about his career.

Hal Ashby. He made some great movies, but bottomed out a lot faster
than he should have.
