7. “Allison Mack. Her character inSmallvillewas original to the show and not part of theSupermanmythos. She did so well by it that they introduced it in the comics. But she had to go [and get involved in a sex traffickingcult]. End of career, no reunion shows, no Comic Cons, character dropped from the comics, so no cool legacy, oh yeah…and jail.”
8. “Kevin Spacey.”

He was one of the top prospects in the game. At 24 years old, he’s going to spend 3–10 years in jail and lose out on any and all NFL hopes and dreams.
