  3. Jade - David Caruso
  4. Cutthroat Island - Geena Davis
  5. Heaven’s Gate - Michael Cimino

He’s a director, not an actor, but the movie flopped so badly that it destroyed his reputation.

  9. Freaks - Tod Browning

Another director brought down by one of his films. “Freaks” is regarded as a classic today, but it horrified audiences when it was first released, and was banned in the UK for 30 years. Browning’s career couldn’t recover, and he only made three or four films after that.
