Movie actors make a lot of money, so it can be a real surprise to hear that so many of them are unprofessional, and cause problems on the set of the movies they star in.
1. Lindsay Lohan
According to those who worked with her on various productions in the past few years, she is unpredictable in her moods, delays shoots and sometimes just doesn’t show up.
Oprah even had to set her straight in a recent interview for Lohan’s OWN network reality show called, appropriately, Lindsay.
She also recently handwrote a list of Hollywood’s leading actors that she (supposedly) slept with. James Franco is denying his place on the list, and we’re willing to be there’s a lot of actors and their wives/girlfriends that wouldn’t be happy to work with Lohan over such a list (we’re looking at you, Jessica Biel).
While Lohan has had some big-name cameos on shows like How I Met Your Mother and Glee, she has yet to turn these into a longer-running television part or a bigger movie. The good news is, she still gets paid to show up at parties and clubs to pay the bills. Until she overcomes her diva reputation, chances are this will stay the norm.
I expected the list to have Christian Bale. LOL. Got to love my only Batman.
What? No Tommy Lee Jones on the list. The stories about his irritability on set and in interviews are legendary!
I used to work for Adam Sandler and the only and I mean only person whos name you did not mention around him was Mike Myers.
Where’s Tommy Lee Jones? Had him on a flight a few years ago and he would not talk to the “help” meaning me the flight attendant. His wife did the talking for him. She was very nice.
Dont forget Sean Youngs drunken heckling at an award show a few years back!! that was classic!! love her!!!
I love Charlie Sheen.
I was wondering why I haven’t seen much of Edward Norton since “The Italian Job”.
I love Steven Segal movies.
I love Bruce Willis.
I wouldn’t pay to watch anything featuring LiLo. Can’t stand her, but I do love Tommy Lee Jones.
Hollywood’s dirty little secret is that the worst of these actors is nowhere nearly as bad as the best-behaved studio exec.
Seriously. The movie Swimming With Sharks, for example, is a litmus test: Over the top parody/satire, or underplayed near-documentary?
I don’t think I’ve ever liked anything J-Lo has done in movies or music.
Watch “An Unfinished Life” — her only worthwhile take. Nothing else (except maybe “Angel Eyes”) is worth a hoot.
Brando’s acting was over-rated. He was a terrible actor. A wooden mumbler.
I loved him The Godfather. He was perfectly cast.
Good Lord above Steven Segal is a low-rate actor who is now as fat as a sow. He has nothing to be arrogant about,,,,, .
Lol. Steven Segal is so fat he probably couldn’t even defend himself with his karate now, because he’s too fat to move.
You see one Segal flick you’ve seen them all. Change a few lines in the script, swap around a few props and Bingo you’ve got a movie. Even the fight scenes are all the same moves.
I wouldn’t watch Katherine Heigl in anything. She burned her bridges with her terrible attitude. There are much better actresses out there, so we don’t have to listen to some half-baked actress thinking that she’s better than anyone around her.
These Hollywood types think that they are gods. If it wasn’t for us, the movie going public, they would be NOTHING!
We can all do our part and stop going to his movies…….
No Joan Crawford ?
To quote Max Bialystock! King of Broadway!: “Actors aren’t people! Did you ever eat with one?!”
all his movies ….
You’ll never see Godzilla on that list. Reportedly, he is a gentleman and total professional to work with. He’s never stepped on anyone on set, or used his radioactive breath in a cast meeting, even when there were disagreements.
Ghidrah, on the other hand…
Which hand would that be? Left or right!!
Mothra is a diva. You should see Mothra’s requirements… The No Mothball requirement in Mothra’s contract is really difficult, because many of the costumes are vintage. So they have to re-produce everything. Also, the custom-built golf-carts must have Honda engines (which, in Hollywood, California is a contractual nightmare when dealing with the EPA). Not to mention that Mothra insists on personally interviewing her stunt doubles. Do you know how hard it is to find a good stunt-moth? Such a luddite purist, Mothra refuses to even consider GCI to circumvent these hassles. Oh! And mothra is a bit of a self-obsessed neurotic who tends to drink a bit on set in order to ‘come out of her cocoon’. This is particularly annoying because Mothra is a ‘method actor’ and, when really on the sauce, can’t seem to distinguish between actor and act.
Don’t forget the crap she insists on if filming when schools out and Mosura is on set. Though when her friend Godzuki shows up things are a lot nicer since Godzilla taught Godzuki so well.
Who really cares?
Why do studios waste their time with these egocentric, demanding, temperamental, petulant, nobodies? I would think it would be easier all around to buy them out of their contracts (if anyone was stupid enough to put them under contract) than it would be to put up with them.
Because we live in a culture where someone’s tongue has become ‘iconic’.
Katerine heidle may have a chance of a come back if she pulls her head out of her ass
I was expecting to see charlie sheen on this list
He was.
If I had to work with a bunch of PC intolerant left wing nut bags I would be a grumpy actor too..
Oh for gods sake! Everything isn’t political. You probably go to a page with a recipe for meatloaf abd post something political. Why not stick to the political pages to post politics.
Lohan is an actor – who knew?
You’re right she isn’t an actor she is an actress.
Sorry, but the PC people say you have to call EVERYBODY now an “actor”. Just like there are no more chairmen or -women, they’re all “chairs”. You’re behind the times. Lohan does act up & seems to play an actress or whatever on TV.
What PC people? Who are they and where to they congregate? A lot of people use neutral language to avoid confusion, which is how waitresses became servers. I’m telling you this as a massage therapist.
Thera-peeved, not Thera-pist. Keep it clean.
lol sheesh!
oh please. i’ll bet YOU are difficult to work with…
I’m sure we all have quirks…
Zing!
I’ve read Brando would sometimes test directors by starting out doing an intentionally poor job. If the director had the guts to call him on it, he’d respect that and would give a good performance. But if the director didn’t say anything he’d phone in the entire production.
I used to like Bruce Willis until the Expendables thing came up, where Willis wanted big $$ / day, for filming. So, I agree. Bruce Willis is off my list. He thinks he’s all that, and he’s not! All of this stardom has gone to his head, completely! He needs to come back down to reality!!
Replaced with Harrison Ford, good call on Sly’s part.
Hard on his career? Really “Rocky”? Little late for that.
When did Lindsay Lohan have a cameo on HIMYM?
Are they thinking about Brittney Spears? (who did a great job)
marlon brando never memorized his lines.. because of his acting method. he felt that he delivered lines more authentically if he was seeing them for the first time. it wasnt laziness or uncooperativeness
I wonder how many actors are still playing new roles opposite Brando?
You’re totally wrong and have it backwards…..Brando consistently did take after take after take in most of his movies, and drove Sinatra crazy in Guys and Doll’s…..That’s what method actors do, they rehearse over and over again until it feels natural………Sinatra, on the other hand was truly “one take Charley”, which he got from working with the great Spencer Tracy……..
“Great” Spencer Tracy was a low-life child molester – specifically, Judy Garland. Look it up, Bambi.
Looked it up…..found nothing.
In the early days Brando was a method actor, by the time he did Superman (1978) he was using cue cards. Pictures excist of it.
It was my understand JACK LORD was hard to work with as well, according to Honolulu news in the 70’s.
BUT I THINK THAT’S WHAT MAKES A PERSON SUCCESSFUL.
YOU BETTER KNOW/MEMORIZE YOUR LINES BEFORE YOU GET ON THE SET.
CAUSE OTHER-WISE NO FIELD OF DREAMS FOR YOU!!!
Why the yelling? Does this make you successful in blogs?
She’s trying be noticed….. like some of these in the article,,,, trying to be relevant
He was referred to as “The Lord”
Expected to co-star again with Sean Connery in the Bond movies after Doctor No…ALL the Bond movies, with billing on the theatre marque…And that’s one reason why they had other actors play Felix Leiter over the decades…
Most of the local actors loved Jack Lord for helping them get jobs on TV.
How about Dustin Hoffman and James Caan? I’ve read they are horrible to work with.
