	Love the idea...but you need to check what you consider a one hit wonder. Michael J Fox? Ray Liotta? Malcolm McDowell? None of these fit the catagory.

	Neither does Bruce Campbell (has a huge cult following), Christopher Reeve (appeared in three sequels to Superman and became an activist after being paralyzed), Sam Neill (a big name in Australia and New Zealand as well as a respected name in the US) and Oprah Winfrey (more famous for her show and wealth).

Comment below threshold: show it

	Malcolm McDowell was in a few movies that were highly acclaimed in Britain but didn't get much attention in the US. Also, several of these were also in highly successful sequels to the movies noted here, which ought to count for something.

	How can you say none of them will do anything nearly as memorable?

	Ok many of these are NOT "one hit wonders"

	RottLady:	Apr 1st, 2010 at 01:22 GMT		3 points
	I started doing this quiz, then stopped, once I realized how few of these actors are actually one-hit wonders. In fact, many of them reached higher critical acclaim for smaller films, e.g. Neve Campbell for "The Company" and Macaulay Culkin for "Party Monster." And Malcom McDowell? Seriously?????

	the choices aren't great.

	Sam Neill was in "The Piano", which won three Oscars. "Teen Wolf" was a huge hit starring Michael J. Fox. Ralph Macchio had a supporting part in "My Cousin Vinny" and "The Outsiders", two big moneymakers. Neve Campbell was the lead in "The Craft". Malcolm McDowell has had an illustrious career spanning over 40 years and 100 films, including the recent "Halloween" remakes. There's a difference between being well known for a part and being a one hit wonder.

	a ton of these are not one hit wonders

	If the category was changed to "Name the 'not so' famous actors from their biggest hit" and you removed wood, liotta, mcdowell. neil, culkin fox and campbell then it would work perfect. Either way still an easy and fun quiz. i enjoyed it

	Agreeing with almost all of these comments, there is so much wrong with about half of this quiz. To add, Wood was the main star in the big financial hit Deep Impact, Heder was in the bigger financial hit (than Napoleon Dynamite) Blades of Glory, and Castle-Hughes played Mary in the bigger financial hit (although kind of a bomb overall) The Nativity Story. I can see your argument for people like Christopher Reeve or Oprah as far as movies go, but a lot of the others are just plain wrong.

	Elijah Wood- Deep Impact as well as featured roles in Eternal Sunshine..., Happy Feet, Green Street Hooligans (not a huge movie, but it was very good), and Sin City. Christopher Reeve- major activist after becoming quadriplegic. Oprah- should speak for itself. Ralph Macchio- My Cousin Vinny, The Outsiders. Michael J. Fox- Teen Wolf, Family Ties, Spin City and various appearances all over the place. Bruce Campbell: huge cult following. Jon Heder- Blades of Glory, School for Scoundrels, Benchwarmers. Macaulay Culkin- Richie Rich, Pagemaster, Uncle Buck. Ray Liotta- Field of Dreams, Corrina Corrina, John Q as well as an Emmy Award and Golden Globe nom. ... just to name a few. you're argument is invalid

	event horizon anyone??

	guy12:	Oct 31st, 2011 at 19:36 GMT		1 point
	With the context you're using, then I'd think it's safe to say that Daniel Radcliffe, Sigourney Weaver, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Gene Wilder are all one hit wonders as well.
