What happened to his career?


Back then I thought he was ready for super stardom and was going to be the next big thing but his career never took off like I thought it would. He's a tv actor and in d-list straight to video/tv films. He has the talent, looks and personality (of what I've seen). If actors like Chris Pratt or Miles Teller were able to make it, why not Sean Faris?

How the fuck do you reckon that Miles Teller has made it? The vomit version of The Fantastic 4? Do you reckon with The New Math?

And Chris Fatt? Call me in 5 years and tell me how things are going for him. Oooh, Avatar 3! The Empty Theater!

How hasn't Miles Teller made it?? You mention Fantastic 4 (I know it was bad) but him being cast in the lead is pretty much making it. He was great in whiplash, go check that movie if you haven't already. And even if Chris Pratt somehow falls off after Jurassic World and GOTG, he's has a pretty good run.

I tend to think he maybe refused the wrong "offer" at some point and was kinda set aside by the upper echelon. He only gets those Hallmark movies now because ppl still recognize him from Never Back Down. Also get the impression he's difficult to work with.

I ve seen him more in Tv than movies. Never back down was his biggest movie

Never Back Down was deemed to be a big hit. The studio bosses loved it. It was also Seans big break. The film was given a push and it was expected to render a massive returns on its investment. Sean was for a brief time considered the next big thing but when the revenue didn’t yield the profits expected his stardom was short lived. He was not regarded bankable. All the parts offered was taken away from him and lower level production was all that was left.
Never Back Down made him and broke him.

He never recovered.
