{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* Tatsuya Nakazaki, the Japanese voice actor who voiced Akito Hayama in ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]'', only voiced that character and both Hajime and Shiro Ryojoji in ''[[Jubei-chan]]''. Apart from those roles and some Japanese dubbing roles (he voiced young Simba in the first Japanese dub of ''[[The Lion King]]'' and he was the only voice actor that was replaced in the remasterized version of the dub) he retired from voice acting after that.

=== One-Film Actors ===

* Fernando Ramos da Silva was a young street urchin who starred in the Brazilian crime classic ''Pixote'' in 1981. Da Silva, who played the title role, couldn't break out as an actor due to his illiteracy. He later returned to a life of crime before being killed in a shootout with police at the age of 17.

** Child actor Peter Ostrum was offered a lucrative multi-picture film deal after playing Charlie Bucket in the 1971 movie, but found film acting to be too much hard work, and took the option to go to college instead and work as a farm animal veterinarian in upper New York state, which he is to this day. He only returns to the public eye to do local school assemblies on his life and career, or on rare occasions for ''Wonka''-related events (though he assisted in the commentary of the 25th anniversary DVD). Charlie Bucket is his only film role.

** Michael Bollner, who played Augustus Gloop, never acted again after this movie. He was cast because he was a native of Munich, where the movie was shot and where he still lives to this day, and had to be taught his lines phonetically. Like Ostrum, he went to school and became a professional (he runs a tax accounting firm) and has only been seen in ''Willy Wonka''-related material since.

* Singer Doug Stone never did any acting outside a primary role in ''[[Gordy]]''. Even though a stroke brought his hitmaking to a screeching halt soon afterward, he continues to record sporadically to this day.

* ''Paperhouse'' was the only major film role of lead actress Charlotte Burke.

* 1981's ''The Legend of The Lone Ranger'' proved to be not only a [[Franchise Killer]], but also destroyed the career of its star, Klinton Spilsbury, who was making his film debut. He hasn't done another film since.

* Although he'd appeared in various commercials, Russian actor Vladimir Garin died in a diving accident after shooting had completed for his first feature film, ''[[The Return]]''

* English actress Hatty Jones' sole starring role was in the 1998 feature-length adaptation of the [[Ludwig Bemelmans]] children's picture book series ''[[Madeline]]'' as the title character, though she hasn't given up on acting and has dabbled into writing and producing her own films along with fellow actress Amani Zardoe.

 

=== One-Film Screenwriters ===

* Australian electronica duo the Avalanches released their debut album ''Since I Left You'' in 2000 (with UK and North American releases the following year) to massive acclaim. As of 2011 a followup has yet to materialize.

* "Music Sounds Better With You" by Stardust, a one-shot project from Thomas Bangalter of [[Daft Punk]] fame. It was never intended to have a following single, indeed this "dream team" of French electronic wizards never worked together again.

* ''The Golden Year'' is the only album released by British electronic rock band Ou Est Le Swimming Pool. The band folded shortly after its release due to the [[Author Existence Failure|suicide of their lead singer]] Charles Haddon [[Fatal Method Acting|who killed himself jumping from a mast at the 2010 Pukkelpop Festival]] earlier in the year.

* The closure of [[DreamWorks]] Records in 2005 killed two [[Country Music]] bands after only one album: Hot Apple Pie (founded by former Little Texas singer Brady Seals) and Hanna-McEuen. Both of them disbanded immediately after the label went under.

* Many of the Japanese VAs of the [[Kingdom Hearts]] series (especially, those from the Japanese Disney dubs) have never worked in other works (anime, games and otherwise) besides those games or they only did foreign dubs but not Anime or anything locally created:

** Some of the more [[Egregious]] examples are Riko Hanamura (Japanese VA for [[The Lion King|Nala]]) who only does foreign dubs, but not anime or Japanese games. Takashi Aoyagi ([[Mickey Mouse]]), Risa Uchida (Kairi),Iku Nakahara (Namine) and Mayumi Suzuki ([[Mulan]]) are practicaly typecasted as those characters, and in the case of Ms. Suzuki, she is typecasted as the ''eternal Japanese voice of Disney heroines'', and nothing else.

* Four Leaf Studio, the group of people behind ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'', was created specifically just for this one game and will not be making any other projects. Justified since it's a collaborative effort by people from all over the world and it has been 5 years in the making.

* The only thing people know for a fact about [[Reclusive Artist|Kikiyama]] is that (s)he was the creator of ''[[Yume Nikki]]''.
