15 Retired Actors We Hope Give Us One More Great Performance
Acting is a cruel beast. Even a legendary actor can grow tired of the scrutiny, auditioning process, unwanted media attention, and lack of privacy. The “stay looking good” motto of Hollywood actors is often easier said than done, and many actors find themselves aging out of the roles they would prefer the most. Others end up cherishing time with family over the many hours spent on location, in makeup chairs and trailers, rehearsing lines while plotting out their next film with agents who are often more concerned with lining their own pockets. One misstep in their personal life can lead to a sudden sidelining, and a series of flops can see an actor wind up in ‘movie jail,’ unable to get cast in the quality roles they are used to.
