    Snarky Snark Snark


    Was mentioned earlier, health problems,obesity

    Chap had a nasty few years with a bad divorce also. He did have an issue too of aging out and not getting the sort of roles he used to churn out. He's very much busy working but more TV focused.

    Brendan Fraser also spoke out about being abused by powerful man in Hollywood that lead to depression and becoming reclusive.

    Linda Fiorentino, hardly anything through the 00s. Last film was in 09.

    THE LAST SEDUCTION is just perfect.

    Drew Barrymore seems to have disappeared, Has she been in anything lately?

    She has her own talk show (Oprah/Ellen sorta thing).

    Santa Clarita was her most recent starring role, a great show, but she's a producer more so an actor.

    Netflix bastards axed it. A phenomenal show.

    He's one of the main actors in Doom Patrol. Mainly voice work but some onscreen work as well.

    I've heard it's really good but have been stalling on it.

    I really liked Entourage when it was being made, thought Adrian Grenier would go on to be a film star, haven’t seen him in anything since.

    Haley Joel Osment, biggest child actor of the late 90s early 00s, has started appearing in some stuff again lately though.

    Jim Cazieval, maybe not the biggest star but after passion of the Christ fairly well known, think I read somewhere that he thought the reason he didn't get better offers was because of that film.

    Person of Interest was a fairly good role
    Wee bit of a holy Joe I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,863 ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    Yep.
    Just read his wiki but the number of times it mentions he is a devout catholic makes me think you gat a free missionary with the actor when you hire him.
    Person of interest was a good serie though.

    I think that's actually true, he was somewhat blacklisted because he was open about his faith. I respect him a lot for that, he had to know openly declaring he was a Christian that there would consequences.

    I remember reading back when Angel Eyes came out that Jim didn't want to do a sex scene with Jennifer Lopez because of his faith. This was back around 2001 when J-Lo was considered one of the hottest women on the planet, so needless to say a lot of people considered him crazy

    Good Weinstein joke on the new “vaccine “ South Park last night in which the kids had a few vials of vaccine and had offer of 2k a shot “2k for a shot ... I’m like a little Harvey Weinstein “

    I think she slagged off Michael Mann and then he put the boot into her career.

    edit- Michael Bay I mean.

    Amazing to think that Van Damme was once the biggest star in Hollywood!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson

    Him and Seagal were for about two years and tipped be the next Sly & Arnie and there you go 30 years later Sly & Arnie are still going strong.

    Rich, famous, in a trailer with Kylie and a bag of coke in Thailand, the good old days when movie stars weren’t PC dullards.

    Gary Sinise is one who who hasn't seemed to have appeared in anything major for a good while now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    I've noticed a strange coincidence: a lot of actors that have faded into semi-obscurity seem to end up working on Robot Chicken.

    That's because he's a conservative and a Republican. He's black listed just like the Commies were blacklisted in 1950s Hollywood.

    Is this true? Any links to this?
