In 1997, he packed on the pounds to play a small-town cop dealing with corruption in <em>Cop-Land<\/em>. Maybe it was a mid-life crisis, but the movie didn&#8217;t live up to Sly&#8217;s blockbuster standards and Sly went into a nearly decade long slump where his biggest hit was the middling <em>Spy Kids<\/em> (2001). Luckily, he dove into his golden years wiser and just as strong (literally) and got back to his action roots.
