I'm very glad that some of these actors got renewed careers, they really deserved better. I never thought Ben Afleck, Nick Cage, or Mathew Macconaughey would stay down long they have really strong acting chops and were just in reclines. Very surprised at Wionna Ryder, Robert Downey Jr., Brendan Fraser and especially Ke Huy Quan. Honestly thought their careers were dead but they really cleaned up their lives(WR and RDJ), got his life back(BF), or gave it another go (KHQ) to prove how great they are. I did catch Everything Everywhere All at Once and it was amazing, batshit crazy but amazing.

Natale Portman arguably got most of the atrocious dialogue. It's just that Hayden Christenson got the worst of it while also needing to carry a dramatic weight that he really wasn't ready for. Ewam MacGragor and Ian McDarmid just went with it and hammer it up. Portman and Christenson seem to be trying to take their dialogue much more seriously then it deserves.

It sounds weird to say, but Tom Cruise could've gone on this list. In the 2000s, he really wasn't so popular anymore, and people were more negatively focused on his personal life and Scientology than they were on his work. But he kept plugging away, and now he's arguably more popular than he's ever been. I know many will cite Top Gun Maverick as the turning point, but I feel the turnaround came well before that -- probably helped by movies like Tropic Thunder, Edge of Tomorrow, and the continued excellence of the Mission Impossible movies.
