6 Actors Who Should Seriously Consider Retirement

Almost every actor on this list has starred in at least one noteworthy movie, so this list hasn't been created purely to condemn and mock a star's decline in popularity. Of course, that is part of it, but the failing careers of the actors on this list should be considered more tragic than anything else. If the actors featured here chose to retire now, then perhaps it would be easier for us to remember them as they once were: talented people capable of making good movies.

The Wicker Man

Nicolas Cage is a force of nature, a man whose sanity should be questioned on a daily basis, preferably by someone with a background in psychiatry. Few actors started their careers out so spectacularly in the beginning, only to fly off the rails in the most ridiculous way possible, but Cage is a unique individual. The success of early films like Leaving Las Vegas and The Rock was pretty misleading, considering how his career has since descended into roles where pissing fire and being stung by bees are genuine highlights.

“OH, NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AAAAAHHHHH! OH, THEY’RE IN MY EYES! MY EYES! AAAAHHHHH! AAAAAGGHHH!”

‘Movies’ like The Wicker Man remake and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance provide ample evidence that Cage should retire ASAP, unless of course you’re one of the many who love the absurdity of a good old Cage turkey these days. For some audiences, Cage has become so bad, that he’s turned full circle and become good again. For others, the idea of wearing a bee helmet and being stung to death in the face is preferable to watching more than five seconds of Left Behind. Five. Seconds.

Send in the bees!
