but mel gibson though them jews really black balled him

Mel Gibson has been "retired," like that old manager that's been at the company 46 years but he's grown senile. Dude is going to be set and his contributions in better will be remembered but the sight of the glazed look and crust around the corners will be remembered as well.

Josh Hartnett

Josh Hartnett: I turned down roles I felt didn't suit me and it hurt my Hollywood career - Daily Record

Hollywood bosses had found their new action movie leading man... but Josh turned them all down flat and fled LA, making enemies of many of the studio suits who control the movie industry.

The actor, now 32, said: "The roles I was being offered were not reflecting where I was at personally. After Black Hawk Down there was a real lull.

"Everybody was trying to put me in action movies and heroic roles and I wanted to find more complex things.

"They just didn't suit my taste so I thought, 'OK, I have to be brave enough to say no.' And for a while that hurt me immeasurably in the Hollywood world.

"A lot of people felt jilted, my ex-agents and stuff like that. They felt like I wasn't working with them and some studios, I guess, didn't want to work with me because they felt I turned my back on these great things.

"But it wasn't a personal issue with them, it only had to do with what I felt I wanted to do as an actor. I wanted to take some time and rework my thinking.

"So it just had to do with being able to pull back when I felt like the work wasn't in line with what I wanted to do."

Josh still refuses to move back to LA, picking and choosing his roles from his bases in New York and his home state, Minnesota.

& yeah Mel Gibson caught boatloads of flack for his comments / police-involved conduct, but he's worth so much (hundreds of millions, but that's taken a hit after his divorce ), yet he still has the ability to facilitate projects himself. Get The Gringo was great for what it was, & he's gonna be in the sequel Machete Kills

Personally I'm of the opinion to divorce personal conduct / viewpoints / comments of entertainers from their material if I like it. There are probably many musicians / actors / entertainers that do some foul shyt & they're never caught, but their work still gets widespread support, so why shyt on someone who failed to hide it?

There's a difference berween getting blackballed and just not getting work anymore because you're terrible.

Im convinced Chris O'Donnell was black balled.

Dude was the next big thing in the mid 90s after those Batman movies

Then he just fell off and now doing TV shows.

NCIS was his first steady role in a minute



Another one is Rob Lowe after the 1988 sex tape incident. He was supposed to be Tom Cruise. (altho he did rebound, but I dont think he has been a leading man in anything since)

There's a difference berween getting blackballed and just not getting work anymore because you're terrible.

this does probably describe Chris O'Donnell in fairness

Some of the actors listed weren't blacklisted but just bad luck or shytty box office draw.

Mickey Rourke was blacklisted.. He's "too real" for Hollywood and so he doesn't censor himself. Last interview I seen with him, he basically shyt Ryan Gosling and Shia Lebouf. He went from being considered the next Marlon Brando to doing straight to DVD flicks in the 90's. Fueding with directors over edting scenes, etc.

Ed Norton, not blacklisted but like Mickey Rourke.. always ends up fueding with directors over how scenes are edited. Probably lost the Hulk role because of his antics.

Shannon Doherty?

Sean Young? (Wall Street, Blade Runner, Ace Ventura)

Dismissal

In the show's third season, Washington became a central figure in a widely reported backstage controversy. In October 2006, news reports surfaced that Washington had insulted co-star T.R. Knight with a homophobic slur. Shortly after the details of the argument became public, Knight publicly disclosed that he was gay. The situation seemed somewhat resolved when Washington issued a statement, apologizing for his "unfortunate use of words during the recent incident on-set."[1]

The controversy later resurfaced when the cast appeared at the Golden Globes in January 2007. While being interviewed on the red carpet prior to the awards, Washington joked, "I love gay. I wanted to be gay. Please let me be gay."[2] After the show won Best Drama, Washington, in response to press queries as to any conflicts backstage, said, "I never called T.R. a fakkit." However, in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Knight said that "everybody heard him."

After being rebuked by his studio, Touchstone Television (now ABC Studios), Washington issued a statement apologizing at length for using the epithet in an argument with Patrick Dempsey. On January 30, 2007, a source told People magazine that Washington was scheduled to return to the Grey's Anatomy set as early on that Thursday for the first time since entering "executive counseling" after making the comments at the Golden Globes.

However, on June 7, 2007, ABC announced it had decided not to renew Washington's contract, and that he would be dropped from the show. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore," Washington said in a statement released by his publicist, borrowing the famous line from Network. In another report, Washington stated he was planning to "spend the summer pursuing charity work in Sierra Leone, work on an independent film and avoid worrying about the show."[3] Washington, in late June 2007, began asserting that racism within the media was a factor in his firing from the series.[4] On July 2, 2007, Washington appeared on Larry King Live on CNN, to present his side of the controversy. According to Washington, he never used the "F Word" in reference to Knight, but rather blurted it out in an unrelated context in the course of an argument "provoked" by Dempsey, who, he felt, was treating him like a "B-word," a "P-word," and the "F-word," which Washington said conveyed "somebody who is being weak and afraid to fight back."[5]

In July 2007, NBC decided to cast Washington as a guest star in a story arc in its new series Bionic Woman. NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman noted his eagerness to work with Washington, saying it would be "like A-Rod leaving the Yankees in midseason." However, Bionic Woman was cancelled after only 8 episodes due to low ratings. Washington himself said that his dismissal from Grey's Anatomy was an unfortunate misunderstanding that he was eager to move past. By the beginning of the next season of Grey's Anatomy, Washington's character 'Burke' had left the show following the end of the season finale.

To me Grey's Anatomy never really recovered from losing Burke I'll admit i'm probably 3 seasons behind now though. Could be better now.
