Jussie Smollett
This star was fired from Empire for maybe the dumbest reason on this list. He actually hired two people to stage a hate crime against himself, but got found out super fast. Making a false police report usually isn’t something people appreciate, so he was immediately fired from the show.

Robert Downey Jr.
Before we all came to know Robert Downey Jr. as a genius billionaire playboy philantropist who spends his downtime saving the universe in an iron suit, he starred in the popular show Ally McBeal. He got fired from the show in early 2001 for drug use and he pretty much stayed off the grid until he made his comeback as Iron Man.
