Every actor has that one special role for which they would always be remembered. That one special role made him a cult figure and helped him break into the superstar league. For some people, such a break is a dream come true. After all, they can get good roles based on their performance in that particular movie. They also pocket countless fans, which in turn helps them land a string of high-profile endorsement deals.

However, this is not always the case. Many actors hate the role that made them famous. They feel that regardless of the number of movies and the number of memorable performances, only one role ever comes up for them. Some believe that such mapping leads to casts, meaning they are not considered for different kinds of roles. This means that the actor will not be able to present his full range of acting skills and may miss some serious roles. This could lead to frustrations and some wrong decisions to deviate from the image.

The most recent and perfect example of this is Miley Cyrus, who did just about anything to dump the cute and sweet Disney star. Here are ten actors who absolutely hate the role that made them famous.

• Ally Sheedy

Although Ally Sheedy has not publicly expressed dissatisfaction with her association with The Breakfast Club, which marked a milestone in her career, she has often criticized the film’s concept and storyline. She expressed particular dissatisfaction with the character’s overhaul in the film. She felt it was necessary to turn a normal teenager into a glamorous girl just to create a romantic angle. She has claimed that it was necessary to include that in the film. It should also be noted that her relationship with the teenager hampered her career prospects as she struggled to find good films throughout her childhood. Her character’s most famous line in the film, “When you grow up, your heart dies,” seems kind of prophetic. The frustration of finding good roles caused her to make some very bad decisions. One of them was dating Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi’s guitarist. This relationship led to substance abuse. She has had to go to rehab more than once to cope with her drug problems.

• Mark Wahlberg

Now w. Night Shyamalan’s supernatural thriller The Happening wasn’t much of a break for Mark Wahlberg. This award goes to Martin Scorsese’s critically acclaimed thriller The Departed. For his role in the film, Wahlberg received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by a Supporting Actor. With “The Happening”, however, Wahlberg wanted to break his typography. Before this film, he was either a police officer or a crook, and in the film he played the role of a science teacher. However, things didn’t go according to his plan. Although the film did well commercially, it was met with harsh criticism from critics, and Wahlberg’s acting performance also received unhelpful reviews. It was a big mistake for Wahlberg which he himself admitted in November 2010 during a press event for his film “Fighter”. However, this particular role didn’t have such a negative impact on his career as he is one of the most bankable stars in show business.

• Angus T. Jones

Do you remember that cute kid who used to serve as the perfect foil for Charlie and Alan in the famous comedy series “Two and a Half Men?” Yes, this is Angus T Jones. You would think that making $300,000 an episode and being part of one of the most popular sitcoms would be a great privilege. But Jones didn’t think so. He initially expressed his awkwardness about doing the “adult thing” while he wasn’t an adult. However, his next few public statements about the show were particularly caustic. He called the show dirt and claimed he was a “paid hypocrite” as his religious beliefs conflicted with his role on the show, which drew heavily on the adult themes. He had been baptized and wanted to leave the show, in which he starred for ten years. He was particularly upset with the season 9 script, which portrayed him as a heavy marijuana user and being sexually active. He even urged fans to stop watching the sitcom as it was negatively affecting their minds. He also claimed the media was deceiving, calling them “the enemy”.

• Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher is an American actress, writer, screenwriter, and performance artist. Though multi-talented and the author of the best-selling ‘Postcards from the Edge,’ she is best known for her portrayal of Princess Leia Organa in the original Star Wars trilogy. Now, George Lucas, who wrote the screenplay and directed all three films, was the mastermind behind the hugely successful franchise. In her autobiographical one-woman play Wishful Drinking, she claimed Lucas ruined her life. However, she later clarified that she meant it for the best. She praised Lucas as a visionary. Fisher revealed that due to her appearance in the film, she gets a lot of fan mail and her fair share of stalkers. Also, George Lucas sold film merchandise, including dolls and Pez dispensers in Princess Leia’s likeness, which no doubt made her an even more popular sex symbol. And unlike some other actresses who love being viewed as sex symbols, Fisher wasn’t too happy about it.

• Thomas F. Wilson

Thomas F. Wilson is best known for his role as the villain, Bully Biff Tannen, in the 1985 film Back to the Future. Though the character was intended to be hated by audiences, Wilson became a firm fan favorite. And even though the film was released 30 years earlier, it still hits obsessive fans. He’s grown so fed up with questions about the film over the years that these days he’s simply throwing out an FAQ card for fans to answer some of their questions. This is a clear sign that the actor is tired of his association. He also wrote a song about the film’s repetitive questions, “Biff’s Question Song,” which he now regularly features in his stand-up routine. He currently works as a musician and comedian. He is also a talented painter.

• Kate Winslet

Titanic is one of the most famous movies in the worldHollywood industry. In terms of box office receipts, it is the second highest-grossing film after James Cameron’s other film, Avatar. And as far as criticism goes, it arguably has the best numbers. It was nominated for fourteen Oscar nominations, which tied it with “All About Eve” for the most Oscar nominations. And it won eleven of them, including Best Picture and Best Director awards, which tied it with “Ben Hur” for most Oscars won by a single film. However, Winslet is not thrilled with her performance in the film. Every time she sees the film, she feels embarrassed that she misbehaves. Winslet has shown in several interviews that she wants to do every scene differently. And you know, what the English actress hated most about her performance. Her American accent in the film. She claims she can’t hear it.

She also hates the theme song “MyHerz will continue. “Winslet has revealed that if anyone plays this song, she wants to throw up. However, she has made it clear that she has nothing against Celine Dion and thinks the song is great. But if she keeps hearing it, she’s fed up.

• Megan Fox

Megan Fox is a very beautiful woman. But there’s no way she would have garnered such a following if she hadn’t starred in Michael Bay’s blockbuster action film Transformers. Her performance as a hot biker chick in the film has made Fox a modern woman in gender symbols. However, she doesn’t particularly like her role in the film. Although she stated that she didn’t want to fully critique the film as it was a huge boost to her career, she said the film wasn’t really about acting. She claimed that when the director called Bay “Action” she knew she was “running or yelling or both”.

To a certain extent, however, their concern and dislike for the film is understandable. Ahead of the release of the second installment of the franchise, the film’s producers conducted a media blitz to ensure the film would be a smash hit. As a result, Fox was overexposed to the media, leading to several men’s websites boycotting them in late 2009.

• Jake Lloyd

Jake Lloyd got his acting career off to a dream start with a role in the famous Star War film. He was selected by director George Lucas to play the young Anakin Skywalker in the 1999 film Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, which was the first film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. However, the whole experience soon turned into a nightmare for the young star. He was frequently bullied by his classmates, who felt the film didn’t live up to their expectations. Also, he was mistreated by the other child actors in the film. They made lightsaber noises every time they saw him. Also, the pressure of 60 interviews a day was too much for a boy who was only eight years old when he landed the role in the film. 2001, only two years after the release of his debut film, he retired from acting. In a 2012 interview, Lloyd claimed he had to go through hell because of the film as it destroyed his childhood and acting career. He’s so angry with the film that he destroyed all of his Star Wars memorabilia.

• Alec Guinness

Throughout his career, Alec Guinness has played a number of memorable roles, including Col. Nicholson in The Bridge on the River Kwai, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor, Prince Faisal in Lawrence of Arabia, and Yevgraf in Doctor Zhivago. It would be far from the mark to say that he was famous for portraying Obi-Wan Kenobi in George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy. Still, it was an important role in his career and he received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. However, the veteran actor regretted his decision to star in the film. His main complaint was that the script was very bad and the dialogue was even worse. According to his diary entries, the only good thing about the film was that it paid well. Once he even asked a young fan who had come for an autograph never to watch the film again. The kid burst into tears like any other Star Wars fan.

• Sean Connery

Sean Connery is one of the most iconic connectionsheroes. He portrayed the legendary British secret agent in seven films. While he’s smart enough to be grateful for how the film impacted his career, he doesn’t like being associated with the project. The reason for his bitterness towards the project is the way he was treated by Bond producers Albert (Cubby) Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. Connery felt he was poorly compensated for his role in the film, while the producers were reaping tremendous revenue from his acting and presence in the film. To be fair, he has a point when he only paid $3 million to work with Franchise.
