22. Blake Jenner
Blake Jenner shot to fame as Ryder Lynn on *Glee*, then earned critical praise for his vulnerable turn in *The Edge of Seventeen* and landed roles in *Supergirl* and Netflix’s *What/If*. With his boy-next-door charm and proven dramatic range, studios saw him as the next reliable young leading man ready for blockbuster rom-coms and franchises.
In 2018–2020, his ex-wife Melissa Benoist publicly accused him of emotional and physical abuse during their marriage (Jenner admitted some behavior but claimed it was mutual). Additional DUI arrests followed. He was quietly replaced in projects, and major opportunities disappeared. Once on the fast track to steady Hollywood work, Jenner has been relegated to small indie roles ever since.
