Who'd have ever guessed he was a paedo :merchant:

Still one of my all time favorite supporting actors. So many classics. Beetlejuice, Ferris Bueller, Ed Wood, Amadeus, Houseguest.

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

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

I swear this is what I would do if I was an actor. I wouldnt even have a spot out in LA. I'd keep a crib at home or in Chicago or something like that. That city and that lifestyle eats people alive - actor or not.

Most off thes hacks screwed their own self so :pacspit:

Props to Briget Fonda, for bowing out gracefully out of Hollywood; although I would love for her to make a comeback. Her filmography from early to mid 90s was :whew:

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."
So he didn't get blackballed he just played himself.

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.

Mickey Rourke is still one of the greatest IMO
