    I wouldn’t go so far as to say that flops don’t affect actors careers. In fact I think they affect them a lot. Momentum has a lot to do with the type of roles you get and how many offers you get. It’s also self perpetuating a little bit. The more popular you are the more hot you are so to speak influences how much money your movies make. That’s why Will Smith was a money printing machine in the early 2000s.

      I can see success being an influence in marketability. But most actors move from flop to flop without hurting their career. (As long as they aren’t the reason that the film flopped because they gave a lousy performance.)
