10 Movies That Changed Because Of Actors’ Bad Behaviour

[@brooklynjade]

That Jamie Foxx thing doesn’t sound like bad behavior, more like common sense and self preservation.

[@GrimmShadowsII]

Yeah it sounds like it but the video did say he had started earning a bit of a diva reputation so that's gonna color people's interpretation of what happened. Only Foxx knows for sure.

[@KingBasieSims4]

​@@GrimmShadowsIII know people will see it how they want, but diva or not he made the right choice. Just that Hollywood made him out to be a type of way because unlike most actors he isn't willing to risk his life for a scene.

[@GrimmShadowsII]

@@KingBasieSims4 I agree he made the right choice I was just explaining why it would end up on this list. It comes down to the perspective of the person hearing what happened as to whether or not they would put it on, and someone having a reputation whether truly earned or not tends to affects people's perspective of stories involving that person.

[@aguasanta]

I'm dominican and know where they filmed. In my opinion, Foxx did the right choice

[@harrelldeandre]

Same thing I was thinking

[@jamesmendonca2900]

Normally, I do not condone actors misbehaving on set, but I thought it was a good choice that Crispin Glover's character in Charlie's Angels did not speak. I thought it made him more ominous as a villain.

[@llovebleach6530]

@hey-lk3zm in hindsight, maybe he new Biden with the whole hair sniffing. And didn't Vin Diesel do that in Pitch Black?

[@dominuslevian9266]

I guess his lines were so bad that he refused to say such things that would only ruin the character.

[@nkulinhlabathi2255]

Jamie Foxx being on this list at number 6 for trying to keep himself ALIVE... is dumb.

[@kylerogers6811]

I think the Jamie foxx one is interesting but I would’ve saved that as a bonus cause that’s NOT bad behavior. If anything it’s bad behavior on the filmmakers part

[@benmcfee]

Slight nitpick: it's not that Brando _couldn't_ remember his lines; it's that he _refused_ to learn his lines. He also refused to read _Heart of Darkness,_ upon which the screenplay was based, and when he showed up on set he was in a physical condition that forced them to shoot him from the shoulders up most of the time... and this was _after_ demanding over $1 million, _in advance!_ There are A-listers today who would never get away with something that unprofessional, let alone the lower ranking actors, whose names we've never heard.

[@dicksonfranssen]

He could have phoned it in but....The fingers you are using are too fat. I can't remember why the plantation scene in Heart of Darkness was cut, you?

[@meghzahrndt3134]

I feel that context is needed in regards to Val Kilmer and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Kilmer was on his way to shoot when he learned from CNN that his wife was divorcing him. Since he was under contract and couldn’t quit, he switched roles with David Thewlis.

[@benmcfee]

It sounds like no one had a good time on that film.

[@michaelrue1400]

I heard in an interview that since Brando was so sick at the time of filming and Kilmer's impersonation of his voice was so good, the only Brando you hear in the movie is Kilmer.

[@Ceares]

Was gonna say this. There was a lot going on with the actors on that set(Marlon Brando lost his daughter to suicide) and anyone that could escape, did. Rob Morrow booked it and Fairuza Balk tried to escape but couldn't. At some point, they should have just bagged the whole thing.

[@IAMMADEOFMEAT]

You could make a whole movie about what went wrong with the island of dr moreau lol

[@TonyHammitt]

There's no reason to shut down filming for 4 days instead of going to a hat shop and getting literally anything else besides a Yankees hat. That was a stupid waste of resources

[@29AndreG]

What didn’t help was that everyone on set of This is The End was drunk and high (except Emma) and the scene wasn’t even in the script but in improv. It didn’t help that is said that she was crying when it happened. Seth Rogen did acknowledge what happened and owned up to the situation.

[@B-Dad]

So despite the fact that it was written into the script the guys DID in fact give off a Grapey vibe for Emma Watson.

[@randyqquaint8400]

​@@B-Dad Very grapey.

[@Dopecheetah]

What a polite roast from Sir Patrick Stewart yo. Delightful😂😂😂

[@VergilArcanis]

I like Insurrection, so his ideas and take on the script was well-founded

[@Sunprism]

Highly recommend the documentary Lost Souls. It's about the production of The Island of Doctor Moreau, and as crazy as you think that could be, it's so much worse. I mean, just for example: Marlon Brando wanted his character to be part dolphin and the original director, after being fired, hid around the jungle setup and tried to imitate an extra....

[@AvengingAngel777]

Nobody seems to get Brando's admittedly odd sense of humor. He also proposed that Jor-el be a green bagel. I think he's just fucking around to see how seriously people take him.

[@geraldmartin7703]

I like that Brando's Moreau wears an ice bucket on his head for several scenes.

[@Sunprism]

@@geraldmartin7703 That was to hide his blowhole, Not Even Kidding

[@dicksonfranssen]

I'll bet I'm the only one here who paid to see the 1977 version in a theater. Smashed up my knee that year before they could scope you and my orthopedic surgeon was Dr Moreau. He didn't get the joke.

[@Sunprism]

@@dicksonfranssen don’t bet you’re the only one to do anything on KZbin, lol

[@carolpulma2734]

Seems Crispin Glover made a good decision not saying those lines in Charlie's Angels...

[@marlonclark1896]

yeah, it made his character mysterious and menacing.

[@baxtersmom279]

Crispin Glover is great at portraying weird characters. If he could ever convincingly portray a normal dude then I would believe he is actually a really great actor.

[@cappyjones]

Crispin Glover is a complete weirdo. Its not acting.

[@Tomy_Yon]

Agreed. 😊

[@baxtersmom279]

Right? If he could ever convincingly portray just a normal character then I would believe he is a great actor. But, he just creeps me out honestly.

[@Heathcoatman]

Exactly. He can only act like Crispin Glover, the weirdo

[@fionam7768]

Re Jamie Foxx: the man deserves an award for that call - that's the sort of leadership anyone who gets a little clout should aspire to. Cos he'd be safe - if only to satisfy the insurers, but the director/producers were endangering everyone on that set with their choices - grips, techs, make-up artists, craft services. You think they are getting the same security details a a recent Best Actor??? But no Jamie means no wildly insecure set for these 'lesser' magicians who bring his work to our screens. Just like the current strikes, WhatCulture, not everything in film decisions is about marquee names...

[@davidbgreensmith]

The Ben Affleck and the hat - I would have fixed that in post with CGI. The Jamie Foxx Miami Vice entry sounds perfectly reasonable. I would have refused as well.

[@benengle9621]

Actors own the rights to their image. Affleck would have won a massive lawsuit

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

@@benengle9621 Oh? Isn't it the hat's image being changed?

[@elliesaint1984]

Val Kilmer would sit on the floor and not get up, I would have looked at him and said "go to your room, you're grounded, no cell phone or XBox for a week" I mean seriously he was acting like a child

He tried to quit for personal reasons and they wouldn't let him.

[@JessSimpson1313]

If the Star Trek insurrection we got was an improvement over the original, I kind of want to read the original to see how bad it could possibly be because The insurrection we got was pretty bad.

[@mikemcreynolds4842]

Insurrection felt like your average TNG two-parter, not a feature film. But its real sin was that it had to follow First Contact

[@dicksonfranssen]

@mikemcreynolds4842 A two-parter from season one, right after Code of Honor. Just painful.

[@Drunkliberty1776]

Brandon, playing Kurtz as he did, made the character a memorable villain.

[@PulpVision]

Snipes behavior stemmed from Goyer using Blade Trinity as a tentpole for his Nightstalker characters . Wesley clashed with Goyer's direction and rightfully so as the finish product was a mess.

[@richardsiemion5903]

There isn’t a universe where the move Jamie Foxx made can be considered “bad behavior”…… I applaud him. You can’t prove a negative but if he followed orders and people died as a result …. EVERYONE WOULD QUESTION EVERYONE IN THE FILM AND HE’D HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT!!!!

[@Hilz28]

Crispin Glover being on a list about pests. Shocked.

[@TheManInTheLongBlackCoat]

You could’ve filled the whole thing with stories of Kevin Spacey, specifically getting fired from All The Money In The World and every scene having to be refilmed with Christopher Plummer, which would’ve fitted in better here than Jamie Foxx.

[@deathscythe6682]

He got fired from that for his behavior in real life being revealed not his behavior on set

[@geraldmartin7703]

Because of his on set bad behavior, Trini Lopez was booted off The Dirty Dozen (1967) by having his character (off screen) break his neck in a parachute drop. One line of dialogue and he was gone.

[@woodysmith2681]

I refuse to see the problems with Ben Affleck refusing to wear a Yankees cap. Like, does anyone on the set not follow baseball or know anything about it? Why did it take 4 days for someone to suggest "or the Mets"?!?

[@TwoLeftThumbs]

I’m amazed that Fincher didn’t just change the cap with CGI considering how much he routinely uses.

[@gilesa.4052]

Sam Worthington wanted to kill that owl because it was contantly out-acting him...

[@jueshua148]

[@jonah.donohue]

Well ITS A TERRIBLE MOVIE. 😂😂😂😂 you think it's just going to go away? Unsub than

[@jefuemon5552]

Small change, but in "River's Edge", Crispen Glover was acting so weird they had to add in the scene of his character popping speed pills to explain why.

[@dicksonfranssen]

The best explanation I've ever heard is that Crispen Glover doesn't need to act, that's how he is.

[@roymclean3554]

by all accounts, Brando's "contribution" altered the tone of the movie from a straight line sociopath being eradicated to a deeper metaphysic exploration. yes, he was insane, but not of the bloodthirsty emperor style; but driven to philosophy and ts Eliot... the as-written script was not as interesting as what Coppola developed as a result of Brando simply being too uninvolved to even read the script...

[@michaelrue1400]

Apocalypse Now or The Island of Doctor Moreau? Or both?

[@roymclean3554]

[@ericwandless7966]

It may be make believe but NO self-respecting Red Sox fan in ANY universe would wear a Yankees cap. To the narrator: would you ever wear the cap of YOUR favorite football club's arch rival? Ever?

[@james_9190]

I respect Ben more for refusing

[@MaybePensive]

Saying "Take the rough with the smooth" while Brando rubs his head onscreen is clever!

[@viddork]

Frankly, the smashing of Bubo was the best moment in the entire remake. I hated it in the original, I hated when it showed up in the remake, and I killed myself laughing when it was immediately dispatched.

[@helgageraldine513]

In Crispin Glover's case, I think it was actually a great character choice by him. He became the only interesting and memorable character in that movie. When I see it on cable, I would re-watch it just for his character.

[@DavidPruitt]

I think we can all agree with Ben Afleck refusing to wear a Yankees cap.

[@Illjwamh]

Seriously. If I'm the director and my Red Sox fan actor says he doesn't want to wear a Yankee's cap disguise, my immediate response is, "How 'bout a Mets cap?" Problem solved in like, 3 seconds and nobody has to get upset.

[@jakes3059]

As a Bears fan, I would never wear anything Green Bay. I totally get it and it was a small detail change.

[@gperez1521]

Ben Affleck has played a genocidal fallen angel, a criminal-level high school bully, a murderer (several tumes), and a career criminal (also several times). Throwing a fit over wearing a Yankee cap because he isn't one in real life is just him being a dick.

[@bobafett9917]

I thought the exact same thing. It's so very stupid. Affleck knew this would become a meme for certain. People would've made fun about it for years. My only clue as to why the director insisted so much was that perhaps the Yankee's paid to appear in the film somehow? Like, product placement or whatever? It's the only thing I can think of. Either way, it's petty of Affleck, but I understand where he was coming from, and it required such a small, inconsequential accomodation, that I don't understand why the director made such a big deal out of it.

[@ericasimpson1436]

@@bobafett9917 Right! I know that Fincher is very particular- I’m a fan and have seen most of his movies/works. But I have also read and seen Gone Girl and can’t imagine why the team on the cap would be significant at all - why not just a plain black cap?

[@honeychilerider]

It's funny because Brando's part is my favorite part of the film and has been for 30 years.

[@javib2978]

Eddie Murphy didn't really mean to attack director John Landis. That's was just a hoax. I felt bummed down that the two are no longer friends. John Landis did not do anything wrong or on purpose. Even behind the scenes of the set of the disaster, in Twilight Zone The Movie. He wasn't really being negligent. Mr. John Landis, was only trying to good for society. And was wanted to do things right.

[@javib2978]

I actually agree with the owl from Clash of the Titans be relegated to a cameo. I like when the remake Clash of the Titans remake films, are hammy by the actors. But without the shoehorn of comic relief characters in the story.

[@javib2978]

Young characters appearing in films such as children, teens, or young adults can work. They can either be background support or protected characters. Sometimes main characters too. To me, I young characters are meant to simple minded, flawed, emotional expression, think clever, and have fun. Not making them into plot devices like aggressive freedom of speeches, trying to be complex and serious, and making them so intelligent. These negative media tropes, ruined any emotion, fun, and humanity of the young characters in fictional media. Working with young characters like children, teens, and young adults aren't difficult to work with. They take time to work with calm and patience.

[@michaelrue1400]

"Marlon's brand." Oh! Speaking of Tom Cruise playing someone he is obviously not, a character over 6 feet tall.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Or 5'10" for that matter.

Apparently the questions Crispin Glover was asking on the back to the future set had to do with children being abused off set by some producers allegedly

[@alexandragrigorovici5945]

Actors were branded as difficult to work with by studious in the 1930s' and 40's so that they could control the narrative better and said actors. Every artist has its quirks and I do not think it is fair to blame a single person for the success or failure of a project.
