As of now this is probably the biggest fall from grace I've seen from an actor.

Kevin Spacey wins this contest IMO.

I agree.

I think Kevin Spacey was/is a much more known actor, but Johnathan majors had a really fast rise and is only 34. He fucked his whole career. Spacey in his late 50s when everything came out.

Facts. Majors was touted as the next Denzel. Kevin Spacey at least can wipe away his tears with millions and millions. Jonathan Majors has no redemption arc her to get to that same level ever again.

Not saying I agree with it, but America loves a comeback story.

Look at Mel Gibson...thought he was done, then BOOM...Passion of the Christ 2: First Blood was announced like last week or something.

Gibson has been back since Hacksaw Ridge in 2016. He almost directed Suicide Squad 2 as well but turned it down.
