Cuba Gooding Jr., now — Gooding Jr. rocketed towards superstardom before quickly crashing back to earth after Coming to America. There was a five-year period where it seemed Gooding Jr. was America’s next megaster, especially after Boyz N the Hood and his Oscar-winning role in Jerry Macguire sandwiched roles in Gladiator and A Few Good Men. Unfortunately, that also proved to be the highpoint of his career. Although he appears in numbers films nearly every year, most are the direct-to-video variety or have been box-office disasters like Daddy Day Camp.
