10 Actors Who HATED Making TV Shows

[@richardjamesgallardojr.7584]

Rest in peace Tony Todd

[@mrgreen8521]

ALF (the 1980s) sitcom was a nightmare for all involved due to the complexities of having a puppet for a main character To give you an idea, the set was riddled with several trap doors that the puppeteer could use and if a human actor fell down one it could have lead to severe injury. Now imagine trying to navigate the set without being allowed to look down and you can see why it was so stressful

[@joshuacurphey3242]

Christopher Eccleston in Doctor Who; loved playing the Doctor, but hated the higher-ups including Russell T. Davies.

[@slayet2ville1]

Quite alot of LOST actors have said they hated the beach after a while, saying sand got into every crack

[@HariSeldon913]

Just like Anakin Skywalker! 😺😺😺

[@thetowerstillstands]

Yeah, because Homeland wasn't violent at ALL.🙄

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

That's what people have said for years when Mandy's reasons for leaving Criminal Minds comes up. Sad because he was great on that show too

[@michaelrue1400]

He thought Criminal Minds was too violent, then agreed to star in Homeland? Go figure.

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing video Ellie Littlechild from what culture of actors that hated working on there tv series,fantastic job.

[@myfriendcaffeine-tb2fn]

Mandy Patinkin left every show he worked on. Chicago Hope, Dead Like Me and Criminal Minds.

[@cannibalbananas]

So sad too. I loved Dead Like Me. It had a lot of potential

[@myfriendcaffeine-tb2fn]

@@cannibalbananas Yes it did. I loved the show. I was hoping it would get a few more seasons but it wasn't meant to be. The movie sucked sand, but at least some of the original cast came back for it.

[@GGG_GetGoodGaming]

Wait...What was Bradley Cooper's role in Alias!? Oh, that's right, he played "Captain Friendzone!!" to Jennifer Garner's- Sidney. I'd ask to be let go too!

[@Trekapedia]

Same here. I’ve heard she’s not the easiest person to work with either.

[@nidodson]

I still don't get why they took that show the way they did at the end. Random genre shift.

[@alm2187]

It stuck with me when Mandy Patinkon said his favorite Inigo Montoya line was when he muses "what to do with the rest of my life. I've been in 'the revenge business' so long..." The actor went on to explain how that line sums up the reason he'll advocate against harboring personal vendettas or any vengeful outlook.

Not An Actor But I Hated Getting Involved With those early 2000's 4Kids Dubs especially Cubix childish fun and games as a Middle Schooler but hard to stomach In more recent times after that 2004 One Piece Dub that companies stock dipped like a dead weight and Losing Pokemon was also a huge L and only Yugioh and TMNT were the only things keeping the lights on Oof Painful to remember In hindsight but my Anime resume Had a few hits and Diamonds In The Rough like Inuyasha, FLCL, Afro Samurai, Street Fighter 2 V, Requiem From The Darkness and Sword Art Online (Like It Or Not)

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

I do remember tru calling! I was a big fan of season one but felt that season two got progressively convoluted and difficult to watch. I had forgotten that Davis was played by Zach Galifianakis.

[@jessecarliner7733]

I think a lot of shows have suffered by creating a major evil conspiracy subplot.

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

@@jessecarliner7733 Agreed!

[@melindakinnaird]

Didn't Mandy Patinkin also abruptly leave Chicago Hope back in the 90s, or was that more amicable?

[@Trekapedia]

No he did that with every show he was on and it was not amicable. He did that with Chicago Hope, Dead Like Me and Criminal Minds. He basically quits every show he’s been on.

[@Trekapedia]

@@BuildinWings exactly!

[@Trekapedia]

@ he’s a punk that’s what matters. He may not have left DLM, but he refused to return for the movie and they had to come up with an excuse last minute.

[@lurkerrekrul]

Bradley Cooper - Maybe his substance abuse issues contributed to his reduced work schedule? Denise Crosby - She returned to the show more than twice. She also played the role of the Romulan Sela, Tasha's daughter from an altered timeline.

[@huddleston1878]

Chevy chase is one person i didn't miss on community

[@klblissdish]

Thx Ellie

[@Ayrshore]

Donald Sutherland, the guy who played a General(?) willing to (almost) nuke an entire town of innocent civilians in Outbreak said the part in 24 was "too evil"? Wow.

[@luisrizo8813]

07:11; omitted "Unification part 2".

[@alm2187]

Bit of a head-scratcher that Crosby thought that way. The 3rd episode of NextGen is about her! You'd think she'd know they'd have used her more in the future! 😮 Regardless, it was unfortunate since NextGen went on to pioneer plots for ensemble casts. The 7+ main crewmembers would take turns being featured. In contrast, Chekov, Sulu, & Uhura tended to be just extras. There was never a story about, say, Yeoman Rand having to fight an unwanted suitor's consort like Yar did. If a story called for a melee, it was just about always Kirk who did the fighting.

[@davidmusto4542]

Denise Crosby returned more that two times to TNG, because she also played Sela in 3 episodes

[@kh7688]

How did Dominic Monaghan get Evangeline Lilly? I'm still waiting on this mystery to be explained. That is the equivalent of a ferret getting...Evangeline Lilly.

[@TheCatBilbo]

Personality...probably. She was gorgeous. Bloody Hobbit.

[@KittenUndercover]

Who and who?

[@HariSeldon913]

He was very hobbit forming.

[@patrickdoyle6201]

If ONLY he &/or Orlando Bloom could have appeared with her in the MCU before she retired

[@ade1665]

Surprised Christopher Eccleston isn't on this list, given his views on Doctor Who....

[@murphyboy11]

I always LOL @ Mandy Patinkin saying he left Criminal Minds because it was too violent. Nothing against the man, you do you but then he joined Homeland which no offence is just as violent.

[@alm2187]

Wonder if sitcoms sort of peaked at the time of Seinfeld, Frasier, and Friends. I hazard Friends had nothing on those first two, yet it was Friends that subsequent creators tried to copy the flavor of. It stayed passable with HIMYM, got worse with 2 & 1/2 Men, and at least got high-brow with Big Bang Theory though that still seemed like it was Friends flavored. Community seems like a mere symptom of all that.

[@dermotfont-wk8gm]

Love Geoffrey Lewis, mystified by Julliete Lewis success.

[@peterbumper2769]

Does every video have to start with "Making movies/TV is hard. and even bad shows have a lot of work put into them"?

[@patrickdoyle6201]

Maybe when complainers stop acting like 12-20 days without weekends or a guaranteed next job is 'overpaid' when it breaks down to (below) minimum wage

[@firstname4337]

Chevy Chase sucks -- nobody has ever liked working with him Evangeline Lilly was correct - -people hated her character -- Jack or Sawyer, Jack or Sawyer -- the writers had no idea what to do with her character

[@rokky6931]

So don’t make the show. Do regular daily work

[@johnblackhead2384]

How much do most make? I’d like to see them do roofing in July for $15.00 an hour. Please.

[@horseclock6454]

You know the feeling is mutual with everyone and Evangeline Lilly, she hated being on TV, and we all hated seeing her on TV...movies as well, but you get the idea.

[@PrinceIsot]

God forbid abstinence is pushed 😂 tf imagine your stance is "teen pregnancy is okay" 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@darthlazurus4382]

It doesn't work. That's why people hate the abstinence policies. If anything, it increases teen pregnancies.

[@Moleculor]

Teen pregnancy is *inevitable* if abstinence-ONLY education and messaging is used. Just look up the statistics.

[@All5Horizons]

You…you know that birth control is a thing, right? It’s important to me that you know that.

[@PrinceIsot]

@All5Horizons yeah and not having sex is still a more statistically effective way to not get pregnant. Does arrogance make more people think like you?

[@lightbearer313]

@@PrinceIsot Actually the statistics show that abstinence only approaches in sex education result in a higher level of teen pregnancies.

[@CynicAtLarge]

Hmmm. Which to choose - finding out who the 10 actors are, or avoiding having to see Ellie's mug through the entire video? I'm going with the latter.

[@CaseyWinehouse]

Just don't watch any of this channel's videos then. Problem solved.

[@ELittlechild]

I hope you have a lovely day too! 😊
