Although Jonathan Rhys Meyers was a promising rising star in the late 90s and early aughts, his screen appearance has diminished over the years, making it hard not to wonder what happened to him. Today, Meyers may only be associated with his recent recurring role in Vikings. However, long before Jonathan Rhys Meyers became Bishop Heahmund in the historical drama, he was known for starring in several popular films and series like The Tudors and Match Point. Despite building a strong portfolio for himself, Meyers somehow faced a downturn in his Hollywood career.

Some might even remember him for his earlier years in Hollywood, where he played a diverse set of roles in movies like Vanity Fair, August Rush, and Bend it Like Beckham. However, regardless of how audiences remember him, he seems to have gone relatively silent in recent years, with fewer mainstream movie and TV projects showing up in his acting resume.
