* Creator/JaredLeto, for many years starting in TheNineties, balanced a relatively successful career in acting and music, the latter as a member of the rock band Music/ThirtySecondsToMars. However, his acting career began declining midway through the TurnOfTheMillennium after ''Film/{{Alexander}}'' (which he had a minor supporting role in) flopped. It came to a head in 2007 when ''Chapter 27'', where Leto played Mark David Chapman, the man notorious for killing Music/JohnLennon, became both unsuccessful and controversial. Besides headlining the initially overlooked but eventual CultClassic ''Film/MrNobody'' in 2009, he didn't star in a movie for six years and instead concentrated more on his music. Leto's [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]]-winning performance in ''Film/DallasBuyersClub'' almost revived his acting career, but he unfortunately followed that up with his divisive portrayal of the ComicBook/{{Joker}} in the [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse DCEU]] film ''Film/SuicideSquad2016''. After a minor part in ''Film/BladeRunner2049'', he starred in a couple of otherwise well-liked movies where he was singled out for criticism like ''Film/TheLittleThings'' and ''Film/HouseOfGucci''. However, ''Film/{{Morbius}}'' was the one that really damaged his career when it became both a critical and a financial failure. For ''House of Gucci'' and ''Morbius'', he "won" two [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzies]].
