Hayden Christensen

Hayden Christensen gained fame for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars, but before that, he garnered acclaim for his performances in indie films. However, his role in Star Wars profoundly impacted his reputation, hindering his acting career even two decades later.

Despite his initial promise as an actor, Christensen struggled to shake off the shadow of his Star Wars character, with many critics and audiences associating him solely with that role. This typecasting and the immense pressure of the franchise ultimately took a toll on his career trajectory, affecting his opportunities in the industry.
