Basically did an amazing job in one role and then never really recaptured that magic anywhere else or just became irrelevant.

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

Aaron Paul has also been in Big Love, Bojack Horseman, and as mentioned, West World. He's young enough and branched enough that he'll likely keep growing.

Linda Hamilton was in Children of the Corn... Though...Yeah, it's hard to argue that her career grew any bigger than Terminator.

Yeah seems like I was unfair to Aaron Paul. I guess I thought I'd see him be in movies or something other than Need for Speed lol.

Jason Alexander and Michael Richards probably count yeah?

Matt LeBlanc would be another. I think his Friends co-stars all have had at least one other hit movie or TV show.

Hayden Christensen in Shattered Glass

He is obviously most known for Star Wars, but he was pretty damn good in Shattered Glass and he never followed that up with anything decent.

He was also in Jumper and that one movie "to build a house" or some such. That one was critically acclaimed

He was the hobgoblin in the amazing Spiderman 2 and the lead in Valerian and the city of a thousand planets or whatever the fuck that title was. He's been getting by

Now let's talk about those two dudes from supernatural. Wtf else have they done?

A lot of his movies are bad but he's objectively not a one hit wonder by any stretch.

Yeah this topic isn't about actors who do the same thing in every role. It's actors who literally had one successful role and that's it.

Another example is the guy who plays The Todd in Scrubs. He's now a Real Estate agent and you can request him to record you a message as Todd for a few bucks.
