ITT: blacklisted actors

Why?

Norton is known for being a cunt on set.
That's why he got kicked out of MCU.

Is he an alcoholic? Got that bloated, puffy squinty look.

Notoriously difficult to work with.

More like Nortonoriou- ah, forget it.

>Nortonoriou

Valliant attempt, user.

The best bruce banner

He's a demanding cunt on set and tries to force his own ideas into films even though they're usually terrible.

Source on any of this?

Or was he just demanding on the set of that Hulk movie because it was generic capeshit and he tried to make it something more interesting?

he usually does it for a lot of films he's in (see American History X)
Can't blame him for trying to make the Hulk movie more interesting though....

He did the same for Red Dragon and American History X, and probably several other movies.

the director of american history x wanted to make it an hour long

He was recently in Birdman though.
Pic related is a true blacklisted actor. Went from the heart throb / "next bing thing" to a literally who bloated no name.

...

Made my day user thanks

Val Kilmer is still the best.

Who was that woman Clint Eastwood fucked over for being a greedy cunt?

Got a chuckle

this guy haha

haven't seen him in anything

so he basically plays himself in birdman? no wonder his character was so believable

It's pretty ironic that blacklisting started with not hiring people with Communist sympathies, yet a lot of Hollywood today is further left than Charlie Chaplin for example.

He's in the latest Wes Anderson flick

and that's a good thing

Did someone say BLACKEDlisted ?

I wish he was still the Hulk. Buffalo's so bland.

...

Can someone explain the joke?

Spader is the main character in a show called "Blacklisted".

He's on a show called "Blacklist"

oh okay I get it now, thanks guys!

Kevin Spacey

Cliff Robertson was blacklisted

>n 1977, Robertson discovered that his signature had been forged on a $10,000 check payable to him, although it was for work he had not performed. He also learned that the forgery had been carried out by Columbia Pictures head David Begelman, and on reporting it he inadvertently triggered one of the biggest Hollywood scandals of the 1970s.[24] Begelman was charged with embezzlement, convicted, and later fired from Columbia. Despite pressure to remain quiet, Robertson and his wife Dina Merrill spoke to the press. As a result, Hollywood producers blacklisted him.[25]

Yet Riami the absolute madman got him hired for Spider-Man!

It goes even deeper

>One of Cliff Robertson's main hobbies was flying. Robertson was flying a private Beechcraft Baron over New York City on the morning of September 11, 2001. He was directly above the World Trade Center climbing through 7,500 feet when the first Boeing 767 struck. He was instructed by air traffic control to land immediately at the nearest airport after a nationwide order to ground all civilian and commercial aircraft following the attacks.[32]

>On September 10, 2011, one day after his 88th birthday, Robertson died of "natural causes"

I'm glad nobody will hire him then. Know your place.

Extremely difficult to work with. He even manipulated the studio to fire a director of a film he was in because he didn't like what the director was doing (American History X -- the end product came out great, but no director wants to risk an actor he cast manipulating the producers to get him fired).

He sounds pretty based and alpha

What a shame. He was sinonimous of kino.

And yet this motherfucker managed to tame Norton for the Birdman movie.

Edward Norton is a great actor he just needs a great director.

I don't think he needed to be tamed. I bet he's like Bill Murray and think he's better than anyone who isn't afraid of the entertaintment aspect of Hollywood, tries to act like a bitch in front of unexperienced directors but somehow sucks up any accesible "art house" director to boost his credibility. Difference being that Norton actually has talent and somehow isn't dumb enough to end up in two Garfield movies because he thought he was going to work with a acclaimed director only to be put with Peter Hewitt. Even tho being in capeshit and an italian job remake is almost as ironic.

>italian job remake

He was forced to do that, look it up he said he practically was begging them for a better movie to fulfil his studio contract.

That's why I said it was ironic.

It was good my guy

Yeh, despite the dumb premise, the delivery of the cast is hilarious.

Murray is a great actor, Groundhog Day alone proves it.

Playing the same character over and over again doesn't make him a great actor. He doesn't have any range, if anything, he's more of a type cast.

If by great director you mean someone with the balls and confidence to tell Ed to go fuck himself if need be, then yes.
