Hillary Swank may have started her career in smaller roles like The Next Karate Kid and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but when she started taking on riskier ones -- like as Brandon Teena in the groundbreaking film Boys Don’t Cry -- she started gaining international recognition for her immense talent.

Swank also won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Teena. She continued her success with another Oscar win for her performance as Maggie Fitzgerald in Million Dollar Baby.

Swank continued to have success in the 2000s with movies like Freedom Writers and P.S. I Love You, but the following decade has seen her popularity wane. So, why doesn’t Hollywood cast this talented Oscar-winning actor anymore?
