So I was flipping channels today and there was this movie about a investigator/detective type person. It was a drama, not a comedy, yet the main character was the guy that played the main nerd in revenge of the nerds. He just didn't look right trying to play a serious part.

"Ginger" from Gilligans island always blamed the tv show for her lack of tv/movie roles later in life.(why she never did any of the reunion shows)

So is it that they are typecast or just that they suck as actors?

Dustin Diamond from Saved by the Bell is pretty much toast, acting career wise.

Maureen McCormick. Marcia from the Brady Bunch. She made a couple of B movies, but I think her career was dead after that.

But there is no one from Saved By the Bell that was a star before they were on that show, except maybe Hayley Mills.

Jimmy the Greek made a bad decision on TV.

Yeah, and being on tv she can't save her bad acting by showing her other assets.;)

I think it got cancelled after one episode. I saw the first episode; it was a solid "eh".

We had a local weather girl, who was a very hot ticket, in my opinion. She made a decision to go shoplifting at Dillard's dept store, and got caught. Anybody ever heard from Kim Dillon again? I doubt she could get a media job anywhere, now.
