    Cocaine does tend to have that effect on people.... :(

    Didn't he also say something about buying yet another house?

    Michael Caine said he'd never seen Jaws IV, although he had heard it wasn't very good. But he'd seen the house it paid for, and it was very nice.

    I love things like this, Why should they lie and pretend. Much more respect for this than someone who says a film will only be enjoyed by people 'who get it'

    Well actors can't say anything about the quality of the film, co-stars or director before or while it's on it's initial release.
    Producers wouldn't be happy to have someone on a film who badmouthed a previous project while it was on release would they?
    Years later, it's a different matter even producers and directors will admit to poor projects then.

    Have we got to ten, I haven't been counting.
    Some of us are off on the DS tangent game anyway.

    Jane Horrocks calls the extension to her house ''Tesco's'' because the ads she did for them paid for it.

    Danny Baker is rarely backwards about 'the big pile of bricks on Blackheath' that the Daz adverts bought him.

    On the other hand, I knew someone (minor player in a hit sitcom) who was offered a £50k one off payment for an advert he'd done, he was skint so he took it.
    'Luckily' the advert ran for about a month at most and was dropped, so he didn't have to suffer too much of a ribbing over it.

    Apparently, both Michael Pitt and Paz de la Huerta kept causing trouble
    with the other actors on "Boardwalk Empire".

    I give you Night of the Hunter, stunk the place out so badly Charles Laughton never got another chance to Direct a film.

    Time might well vindicate whoever it is you're thinking of :)

    On that theme I always preferred Michael Caine's quote 'in order to have a high standard of living, you sometimes have to make a low standard of film'.

    I believe he also said something like

    "First I take the great roles. If they don't come, I take the mediocre roles. If they don't come, I take the roles that pay the mortgage/rent".
