Oh no, he was in TASM 2! He has also been in 12 Years a Slave, Straight Outta Compton, and Billions recently

Yeah, Paul Giamatti is like John Malkovich, he kinda does whatever he wants and he's typically the highlight of even his worst movies. He's no star but he's more recognizable than a character actor.

I legitimately loved Hairspray

Ooooh a Topher Grace thread. Been a while.

[LionPride]

Hes now on a homophobic show so he's in his element.

Jim Carrey's career is far from over i think

Still a super famous name

Renee Zellweger
Vivica A Fox

Sad story for lots of women in showbiz

Bad plastic surgery + Age

[Smoolio]

I don't think homophobic shows would bother to have non-straight relationships.

LOL, oh come ON now...

Since when is The 100 Homophobic

we deserve better
Didn't think this still needed to be explained, the calculated baiting leading into harmful usage of the bury your gays trope.

Getting OT, hope Eliza Taylor lands a good role after the 100.

The only person I can think of is Michael Jace.

A kill em all show killed someone that is a regular on another show and that wasn't even a regular on their show. Shows like this will kill anyone not central to the plot, often because people are watching because of these deaths in the first place.

Yeah, I posted this elsewhere a couple months ago - when GLAAD specifically called out some shows, included The 100, for "Bury Your Gays".

The 100 is a genre show that’s essentially about survival. Virtually every other time a character has been written out, they’ve been killed – because there’s not really much else to do with them. This is the show that killed off it’s cisgender, heterosexual, male lead – and NOT because the actor got a bigger role on a bigger show, as was the case here.

The entire reaction to this saga boils down to shippers reaching their hardest to find some kind of moral highground, so they can pretend their outrage comes from some kind of injustice to the LGBTQ viewership and NOT their own over-investment in a fictional couple. That’s why when they got called the holes in their logic, they shifted to “well it’s not THAT she died, it’s how she died”.

Not every LGBTQ death on TV that happens falls into “Bury Your Gays”. If that were the case, we wouldn’t be asking for equality – we’d be asking for preferential treatment. The criticism from GLAAD here (that many gay characters are dying to support the narrative of the straight characters) misses the forest through the trees: It’s not that they’re killing them off, it’s that they’re not casting them as leads. Supporting characters die on genre shows all the time. Those are straight characters, gay characters, black characters, old characters – on and on.

These showrunners aren’t sitting there thinking “well, time to off the lesbian!”, they’re thinking that these characters are ALL disposible by nature and their deaths serve the plot, which is written around the starring
cast.

So the real thing you should be asking TV producers isn’t “stop burying the gays”, it’s “start casting the gays as the protagonists” – because the few places we do have minorities in lead roles, they are as safe as houses.

He was miscast, and it isn't his fault, but...

Zellwenger took a break from acting and her come back movie this year made more than $200m.

I feel sorry for Thora Birch. Had a massive crush on her when I first saw Ghost World. Saw her in a TV movie a few years ago and thought she deserved much more. She's a much better actress than Scarlett Johansson.

Didn't Hartnett willingly decided he wasn't interested in being a part of the Hollywood system anymore? Or was that just ex post facto spin on his part?

My answer would be...



Katherine Heigl. She is a case study in how to fuck over your own career. She left Grey's Anatomy, which made her a household name, shit talking it on her way out. Then she just signed up for a string of bland forgetable rom-coms. Nothing wrong with that, but you gotta diversify your resume if you're going to survive. Being the "It Girl/Guy" in Rom Coms is a short term game. By the time she wanted to move on to something else, she had the reputation of being hard to work with. Tried to come back to TV and has flopped there, and might flop again next year. If she had just left on better terms, I think more projects would have been willing to "deal" with her post 2010.

Hey be nice. She has a GREAT career selling kitty litter.

Katherine Heigl has a new movie coming out. Looks like a romance thriller
