Question: Why did Jason Patric's and Johnathan Schaech's careers stall out? 

Answer: Jason Patric - \nAccording to what I read on Wilki below, getting in trouble with the law may be the reason his stalled.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Patric\n\nIn 2004, Patric was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Austin, Texas and was involved in a physical confrontation with the arresting officer. Patric claimed the charges were false and that the officer assaulted him. The prosecuting attorney's office later dropped the charges, which included assault on a police officer. He subsequently sued the arresting officer for violating his civil rights, but the officer was acquitted by a federal jury.\n\nJohnathon Schaech -\nAlthough his acting career seems to have been put on hold, he has started a film company called Chesapeake, so he hasn't exactly "stalled out".\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnathon_Schaech
