Yeah Aaron Eckhart technically doesn't count but I would have thought his career would be way better than it currently is after Thank You For Smoking and The Dark Knight.

William Petersen

Sure he starred in a few cult films in the 80s but 99% of people only know him from C.S.I.

To be fair, have they really needed to do anything else?

Not given how many episodes of Supernatural there are, no.

Haven't they both done some horror films though. The one who plays Sam was in the Friday the 13th reboot.

Hayden Panettiere (the cheerleader you're referring to) had a leading role in Nashville.

Zachary Quinto was in Heroes and also landed the role of Spock in the Star Trek movies.

Masi Oka was apparently in Hawaii 5-0 but I dunno if that was a main cast role. The real interesting thing about him is that he started the development studio that created Outer Wilds.

That scrawny looking dude. The one from Chronicle. The ratfaced guy.

You mean Dane DeHaan? You're talking about the guy who played the evil of the 3 right?

He played Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (the last Garfield movie) and was the main lead in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. I think he's got a few other roles coming up too.

Man I really wished they made a sequel to Chronicle, loved that movie. The marketing for that film was incredible.

Aaron Paul is in Westworld. Not that it's even close to being as good as BB but it's popular...

Paul Hogan comes to mind though

He also voices a main character in Bojack Horseman. He's not gonna get an Emmy for Todd Chavez, but honestly he makes that show at points.

I can understand Paul Hogan. Something to take into account is that he was a pretty big comedian in Australia pre-Crocodile Dundee, with his own show and everything, and while he couldn't really maintain international stardom, he did continue to find work through to the early 2000's.

There's an Australian movie called Strange Bedfellows with him and Michael Caton where they conduct tax fraud by pretending to be a gay couple for the tax benefits - it got ripped off by I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry, with all of its pathos and drama gutted to make room for broad jokes about sexuality.

I don't think the lead actor of the Gremlins movies has done anything else of relevance.

I'm not surprised.

He was originally supposed to defeat the bad gremlin Stripe, but Spielberg vetoed it saying that Gizmo was the star. It doesn't exactly provide a good launching pad for one's career to get beaten up by one puppet and get rescued by another.

You fuck your mother. Alex P. Keaton is an iconic role. He did pretty great on Spin City, as well.

Robert Iler AKA AJ Soprano is literally a one hit wonder. I think he has 3 credits. 2 are bit roles (he was a bully in the Daredevil movie in the alley near the beginning of the movie) and 1 is obviously a big role in the best show ever.

And fun fact he's the little kid in the very early Marilyn Manson video "Dope Hat".

He's done some directing work since then, if nothing else he got to direct a couple of Rachael Yamagata music videos.

I don't really watch/like her music videos for the most part, but hey - he's getting work.

Daniel Stern AKA Marv from Home Alone might count. He was a voice on Wonder Years and in movies the only other thing I can remember is a movie called Bushwacked.

Michael Richards AKA Kramer from Seinfeld only really did bit roles in some movies from what I know. Airheads and So I Married An Axe Murderer off the top of my head. So that might count. I don't know if they ever gave him star roles ever.
