Actors face career declines following controversies and legal issues

Several actors have seen their careers decline sharply due to controversies. Nate Parker's film "The Birth of a Nation" faced backlash after past rape allegations resurfaced, leading to poor box office performance and limited future roles. Doug Hutchison's marriage to a 16-year-old led to significant public criticism, resulting in few acting opportunities since then. Randy Quaid's legal troubles and asylum claims in Canada halted his career, with only one low-budget film released since. Jeffrey Jones faced charges related to child sex abuse images, which ended his work in children's media. Shia LaBeouf's career suffered after allegations of sexual assault emerged, leading to a significant shift in public perception and limited roles since 2020.
