Speaking of directors, Tony Kaye who directed American History X was blackballed after a disputite with the studio and Ed Norton over the edit, which from reports Norton strong armed. He's done a couple of small films recently but he was definitely blacklisted for a while.

The making of American History X has passed into cinematic legend: Kaye was locked out of the editing suite by the producers after he recut the film; he was enraged when Norton was allowed to produce a third edit behind his back, and tried to change his own directing credit to Humpty Dumpty. By his own admission, he was suffering "a kind of mania": he brought a rabbi, priest and lama to a meeting with the producers; then refused to talk directly to them, communicating via (extremely expensive) ads in the trade press. Even after American History X had conclusively got away from him – the studio released Norton's version – Kaye continued to act up, cementing his notoriety as a wildman. He stopped using his phone, hiring an intermediary to do all his talking for him. His Osama stunt was prompted by a request from Marlon Brando to host an acting workshop; the students reacted badly and threw their coffee at him.


:pachaha:

Just having fun out there :smugfavre:

Some of these actors were blacklisted but a lot of them just were lazy and/or had habits and pissed away their careers. But with Larenz Tate it seemed like he just dropped off the face of the Earth. Dude was set to be the next big Black star after Denzel and then just like that nothing. And everyone knows Mickey Rourke could have been one of the greatest but he wanted to pursue other things and abuse drugs.
:why: lorenz tate was never looked at on that level.It was pretty much denzel then cuba then a lot of non entities like derek luke and that guy from pretty little things
I wonder who Adrien Body :pacspit: at, because surely he was "next" after he won the Oscar for the Pianist.

Or did his nose, get in the way? :skip:
white man never forgot that open mouth kiss with halle barry..
Devon Sawa. He still works but he's fell off a lot since the 90's.
this dude was a nobody hell he wasnt even on the level of jason priestly might as well mention dawson from dawsons creek..
No one has mentioned Hayden Christensen. Dude was Darth Vader and was pretty good in "Jumper" I thought. Haven't seen him in nothing but a bit role in "Takers" since...
Brah what part of "blackballed"and "not getting work because you suck" didt you understand

I read about Hartnett pretty recently. When you luck up on that hit hollywood only want you to keep repeating that formula. He kept turning down these lead action roles on some "I'm an artist" sh!t and the biz eventually moved on. The right indie flick and he'll be back in the game tho....Hollywood love them some cacs.
