Child actors who were hailed as acting prodigies but grew up to being mediocre actors as adults
Yesterday, I got to see The Call, a surprisingly engrossing thriller with Halle Berry as a 911 phone operator trying to save Abigail Breslin's kidnapped teen bimbo who's being held hostage by a crazed Ed Gein wannabe played by Michael Ecklund.
Say what you will about Berry, she is a committed actress who gives it her all and I couldn't take my eyes away from her. But I was struck by how bad of an actress Abigail Breslin was. She no longer had that natural acting ability she had as a kid where she'd just disappear. As a grown girl/woman, she came off as wooden and whiny. And I've seen the same on some other movies she was on as an adult. It would explain why her fame dried up. Because child actors can cross over if they can adapt. I mean, the Fanning sisters are doing well.
Another one is Corey Feldman. Went from being a big movie child star in the 80s to being a joke in the 90s and up, with the Cosplay Michael Jackson moonwalk and La Toya hair and his godawful singing. Dude has released Collectors Items of albums nobody bought. Maybe in Madagascar where Honesty did quite well.
