1. George Lazenby— James Bond
“George Lazenby should be the best answer. The man with no acting experience landed the role of Sean Connery's James Bond and was offered a multi-film contract to play Bond in the future. Then he was told it's summer 'about love and nothing about killing people, the spy won't want to see the movie' but also because he's already in the movie he can ask whatever he wants and they can don't deny him.
2. Crystal Reid - Tin Wolf
"Crystal Reid is so confident that she's done that she kills her character in Teen Wolf, and almost 10 years later she will come back and resurrect her character for her film."
3. Brian Dunkleman - American Idol
“Brian Dunkleman co-hosted the first season of American Idol with Ryan Seacrest and then quit. Over the years he's debated whether to fire him, but in at least one interview he admitted he quit and was very depressed about it at the time."
4. Marcus Chong - The Matrix
“Marcus Chong was the tank of 'The Matrix', a main character in a huge franchise. [He and the producers reportedly had a lot of conflicts and disagreements.] When it came time to do the sequel, they didn't invite him back."
5.Jessica Brown Findlay— Downton Abbey
"Jessica Brown Findlay was one of the first people I thought of. She's done some work since she left, but I don't think there's anything bigger than Downton Abbey ."
6. Chuck Woolery - Ferris Wheel
"Chuck Woolley left Wheel of Fortune only to see Pat Szak run it for over 40 years."
7. Stuart Townsend - Lord of the Rings
“He was late to the party but Stuart Townsend was originally cast as Aragorn in LOTR but was fired the day before filming started. Peter Jackson decided he couldn't work with him, they hired Viggo Mortensen and the rest is history. "
8.Terrence Howard- Iron Man
"Terrence Howard was in Marvel's first Iron Man and would become War Machine - that was the start of a Marvel movie, the MCU. The remake apparently stemmed from a dispute over his salary. Don Cheadle took it off in Iron Man 2 and all the movies since then."
9. Lacey Chabert - family man
"Lacey Chabert voiced Meg in Season 1 and then decided to leave Family Guy . She was later replaced by Mila Kunis, who rakes in money between new episodes and syndication."
10. Topher Grace - The Show of the 70's
It happened to Topher Grace from That 70s Show . He left the company to focus on film roles and later acted in films such as Spider-Man 3 . He's jumped in here and there and worked consistently, but he certainly didn't become it. Star.."
11. Chad Michael Murray - One Tree Hill
"He was so popular until he left the show and his career fell apart after that. I wonder if he regrets leaving him."
12. McLean Stevenson— M*A*S*H
"I couldn't take it that Alan Alda was the star and he wasn't. I read that he told Loretta Sweet that he knew he would never get anything as 'good' as M*A*S*H [after he didn't leave . ], but he had to be number 1.
13. Benjamin Bratt - Law and Order
14. Christopher Abbott - wife
"Christopher Abbott, who played Allison Williams' character's boyfriend on the HBO series Girls , suddenly left [saying he didn't interact with his character on the show]. Adam Driver, on the other hand, stayed because he has an incredible work ethic and loyalty to the project he started and we all know how that turned out."
15. Ed Screen- Game of Thrones
"Ed Screen left Game of Thrones as Dario Naharis, perhaps thinking that starring in the Transporter reboot would spawn a sequel."
16. Farrah Fawcett - Charlie's Angels
"When he left Charlie's Angels to further his career, and while he did some interesting and award-winning work, his overall body of work was small and scattered compared to the big star that he was."
And finally...
17. Adewale Ekinnuye-Agbaje – Lost
“Adewale Akinnuye-Agbaje played Mr. Eko in Lost , a very interesting character and a fan favorite. He didn't like being away from London and asked for his character to be killed. I have a feeling he could have done it. At the end of the day, it's an actor much bigger than him."
