What is the worst career decision an actor has ever made?

[TransJenner]

Macaulay Culkin

/Thread

Nah I know people who know him

He still rich as fukk and his condo/house? Is a fukking art gallery

 

[TransJenner]

Halle Berry's entire catalogue except Dorothy Dandridge and Monster's Ball...might have the worst agent in Hollywood

Also anyone that was involved in Battlefield Earth.

I believe it was made by Scientologists and was suppose to be this big ol deal but when it flopped they just swept it under the rug

That blonde kid who fukked around so much they kicked him off Boardwalk empire.

I think his name is Michael Pitt.

Oh wait that's why they killed his character?

im sure i read dave chappelle got offered the role of bubba in forrest gump and turned it down..and regretted that decision

It's not a bad decision per say but it's just so sad and tragic this is the only place I could talk about it: Pierce Brosnan was almost Bond in 1987. Homie had the role and was free to take it because Remington Steele was cancelled. And even tho there was a 30 60 day clause in the contract that said a studio 60 days to resurrect the show and if they did he'd have to come back. But the deal was done and right when he and the press agent for United artists were leaving to do the big James bond press conference, he gets a phone call. He decides to answer the phone and it turns out a network picked the show up at the last possible minute on the 60th day. Homie was crushed. Timothy dalton took his place and he wouldn't be Bond until 95.

So even tho he got the role 8 years later, I guess you could say his worst mistake is picking up a phone

Yeah that shyt was tragic man. He retold the story on a James Bond documentary and you could see the anguish on his face man. That's on top of the emotions he had on the way his Bond tenure ended. Just hurts

That was just soul crushing. History of the Bond films would be different if he missed that phone call.

Most definitely. He would've been in living daylights and who knows what would've happened after that. But then again they probably still would've hit that patch when MGM went through their money troubles after license to kill meaning he probably would've bounced just like dalton did meaning someone else would've taken over in 95

 

[StraxStrax]

Well, he got GoldenEye so

Julia Roberts turned down the role of Leigh Anne Touhy in The Blind Side.

she probably thinking legacy especially since Return of the King won Best Picture. Kill Bill was cool but its not LoR in terms of legacy, crazy fans, nerds, etc...
