ELI5: Why is one bad movie so bad for an actor's career?
gpt
It depends on the actor. It depends on the movie. If an actor has an extensive career, then one bad movie will almost certainly have little to no effect on his/her career. If this "bad movie" is one of only a few roles, then it would obviously have a greater effect. But realistically, most (if not all) actors will play in absolutely horrid movies/TV shows/plays in their careers... usually many horrid ones. That is just part of the business.
