Breaking into Hollywood is no easy task. Some stars peaked so early in their career that they end up quietly vanishing from the spotlight, while others had to wait until they landed an international breakthrough role. For every star who has made it to the screen, dozens of others have failed and disappeared from the business.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, these A-list stars have gained a reputation as actors and actresses who are "difficult to work with," and it's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, two creative minds don't always think alike, and imagine being in a room with dozens of different creative minds. Creative disputes always happen, and well, it's totally normal.

Although Justin Bieber is not exactly a movie star, the teen pop sensation made a surprising cameo in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The Baby singer portrayed troubled youth Jason McCann, who gets written off at the end of the season.

However, actress Marg Helgenberger told French radio Le Grand Direct Des Medias that the singer was "kind of a brat" and "disrespectful" on set. He "locked" one of the producers in a closet and messed with a cake on the cast's table.

After departing the long-running series that brought her fame, Grey's Anatomy, actress Katherine Heigl seemed to have a perplexing relationship with the showrunners. The actress nabbed her Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2008, because she felt like her character's arc wasn't up for contenders. Of course, creator Shonda Rhimes did not take the comments lightly.

Heigl landed a main role in Netflix's new series, Firefly Lane, so hopefully we will get to see more of her.

He, however, has received a plethora of accolades, including a Golden Globe, and three nominations for the Oscars.
