ONTD Original: Actors Who Are One Hit Wonders

[off_daze]

We often talk about one-hit wonders in music but there are acting one-hit wonders too! For the purposes of this post, these are actors who only had commercial success with one (main) role.

First, NOT me immediately about to voice disappointment about this not being songs until I read LMAO

ONTD, who's your favourite acting one-hit wonder?

Hmmm....this is niche but Kate from 'Lizzie Mcguire' comes to mind? IIRC she literally left hollywood and is a lawyer now? And no current photographs can be found LMAO

Honestly, everyone on that show with the obvious exception of Ms. Elizabeth Brooke McGuire herself

Here's a somewhat current photo of Ashlie/Kate. She seems to be doing really well.

Aww, and she looks the same too. good for her lol

this is the ontd exclusive I needed

[patchsassy]

I bet she gets a lot of "....you look REALLY familiar? Do I know you?" and her having to explain that she was on the Disney Channel as a tween.

I also thought that's what the post was going to be, and before I clicked the cut I was trying to guess who'd they be and this was the list I came up with if someone wants to add more and make a real post:

Eddie Murphy
Jennifer Lawrence
Richard Harris
Bradley Cooper
Kate Winslet

...I'm sure there's way more. Also I didn't check to verify if they were all actually one-hit wonders and no I didn't read the text before the cut and yes I was disappointed.

[odontv]

No no this is a list of MUSICAL hits because I was mad that I didn't read the post!

[recognitions]

Jennifer Lawrence had musical hits? I'm so confused by this whole thread

[odontv]

Yes that rando song she sung in the hunger games charted for a while if I am remembering correctly

[jellycar]

hanging tree from the hunger games is huuuuge in the european club scene for some reason

[fuck_of_nature]

What's Kate Winslet's? 'What If'?
