Jon Hamm is still working pretty consistently on decent sized projects. He has had lead roles in dozens of hit movies and even a few tv shows. I could be wrong, but didnt he get Emmy nods for Kimmy Schmidt? He struck while the iron was hot and made a killing. No he’s not a HUGE draw like he once was, but to be a consistent box office Star year after year is actually pretty rare.

Michael C Hall (you’re forgetting Six Feet Under by the way, one of the greatest shows ever written) is a super talented artist. He’s performed on stage in many plays including the wildly popular Hedwig and the Angry and The Lazarus Experiment. He writes and performs his own music too. I really think because he is so well respected for his craft he can pretty much do whatever he wants, not just what will be a hit. He’s not a big star because he doesn’t want to be. He works when it’s a job with taking.

Justin Theroux has a reputation of being, how should we put it, a big poopie head. And if you are a big poopie head, you better be really really good at what you do. Someone like Edward Norton for example is known to be strong headed but consistently works because he is right more often than not. Theroux has had some mild success, writing and producing too. And let’s be honest, a working actor is a successful actor.
