Why Hollywood Won't Cast Eliza Dushku Anymore

[@NickiSwift]

What's your favorite Eliza Dushku role of all time?

[@EternalVampi]

Nicki Swift Tru Calling. I miss that show!

[@tactrix1h]

In this order, Tru calling, Doll house, Banshee.

[@JalensMovies]

either True Lies , Wrong Turn or Jay&Silent Bob Strike Back

[@MerlautZone]

I rly liked her in Wrong Turn & love her voice, wish she'd voice more game characters.

[@valentinalcocer1682]

Nicki Swift its got to be the new guy for me and im glad she has a career i always thought what happen to her

[@AlainBruno]

Her role in "Bring It On" was bad ass 👍👌

[@isabel-hq5qu]

She is a great actress.

[@Ayveh]

It really was, and It would have been awesome if she hadn't turned down "Mary Janes" role in the Spiderman movie that came out in the 2000's :/

[@pogonavit]

Asvea I thought she was turned down, not that she turned the role down?

[@j.t.thomas1859]

SHES SO GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL!! SHE WAS HOT IN BRING IN ON!!!

[@lenciwedikadongure2893]

Alain Bruno czawy

[@tactrix1h]

She's has the perfect reasons to not be in Hollywood movies, all the reasons listed are really good ones. If anyone walks away from Hollywood they should be lucky enough to do it in the way she did.

[@syvhne]

Alex O they should pin this comment

[@masterbrad89]

Alex O Hollywood is a dark, dark place and nobody should ever get into it. There’s so much depraved and nihilistic shit that the celebs do.

[@knightoyin6500]

She is so beautiful and talented, she needs a better agent if she really wants to make it in Hollywood. None of these points are a deal breaker for Hollywood studios. she can still be a big movie star.

[@tactrix1h]

That's the thing, she doesn't want to be a big star. She did enough of that kind of work to realize that it's honestly not as effective as just doing charity work and outreach while doing parts in series that you love and can connect with.

[@djregina6897]

Knight Oyin I think the problem is that she isn't really a nut case doing crazy things and getting in the tabloids for insane reasons. She is too "normal" .

[@rma2110]

Management DJ Regina I think Eliza doesn't want the roles. She's studying something in college and making plans outside the glaring spotlight of Hollywood.

[@insaneone4369]

She just refuses to fuck her way up the ladder anymore. They're going after the younger ones. Easier to destroy.

[@angiesimmer6359]

She doesn't need it, darling! ;)

You got this wrong you mean why Eliza wont cast Holywood...

[@unmixedunmastered2810]

@@mejesticmermaid7043 Thnx for fixing it . I would've never known what the word meant missing a letter

[@redman6434]

She say truth about Hollywood. True calling and dollhouse have good audience. But she talking to much like Sarah Michelle gellar, slayer for real in the real life 😂 This is why they don't have career anymore. Bad ass woman 🎉

[@matbroomfield]

Sounds like she gave up on Hollywood, not the other way around. If her accusations turn out to be true, it's easy to see why.

[@rell127]

She should do a Marvel tv show or movie.

[@Diana-mu7pc]

When I was watching Jessica Jones, I loved Krysten Ritter but I also kept thinking it could be a perfect role Eliza Dushku.

[@rell127]

Diana Burke She was my original idea who they would get for Jessica Jones. When you think about it she would have been perfect. Plus it's not character she would usually pick.

[@clinteastwood8230]

I didn't think Ritter was that good I'm Jessica Jones always thought Eliza would of been better

[@rell127]

Clinton Ryder I thought Marvel would have gotten her as well.

[@rell127]

***** Well Jessica Drew is Brittish.

[@kevinpham_]

Five by Five!

[@bhbluebird]

I think Ms. Dushku is going to be just fine.

[@ICEMAN904x]

She could have played jessica jones

[@Caprizonica]

Absolutely. I was trying to to watch that show but the lead actress just doesn't convince me. They look similar but I just don't buy her.

[@pcarebear1]

She seems like a real-life Jessica Jones...without the alcoholism :)

[@Caprizonica]

Well, she went through a period of alcoholism. Apparently, she managed to keep it private.

[@mileynick88]

Exactly my thoughts! !!!!

[@silentthriller]

You know what, I would have prefered Eliza as Jessica Jones.

[@PeterlikesBananas]

She is an amazing woman by the sounds of it. Good on her and wish her the best in her humanitarian work

[@hannahb6826]

She is my idol and she doesn't need big Hollywood movies, whatever makes her happy is what matters in her career. I love her so much and support everything she does! Screw Hollywood for missing this star

[@MayaRaimondo]

She's doing better things!!! Good for her!

[@illyriaillyria7950]

Agree

[@avamiller1245]

She was really good in Tru Calling. I wish that show wasn't cancelled.

[@sarahanderson1711]

Yep--great show. When I saw the first few episodes I thought, there's no way they can make this premise work for more than a year ... I was wrong. Great show.

[@crystalstilts]

I miss this show so much! I hate that I don't know the rest of the story :,( will love this show forever

[@sarahanderson1711]

If you want a hint of what was going to happen, you can read the wikipedia entry. The head writer lays out some proposed storylines.

[@spicyhot2552]

Tru Calling was good..I wish it couldve lasted a few more seasons.

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

Tru Calling was the SHIIIIIIIT. When she had to switch roles and makes sure that one girl's death happened and looked like an accident for the insurance money?

[@mindeadass]

Is it just me or she seems like a great candidate for Jessica Jones???

[@mialovely7864]

I think she'd make a pretty good Selina Kyle aka Catwoman for the DCEU's new set of Batman films with Ben Affleck.

[@teraldrichardson]

She would have been a great Jessica Jones

[@tae2012ish]

Yes it’s literally the perfect role for her.

[@Scoreman7769]

Maria-José Pineda she probably would have been greatest Jessica Jones I never thought of that until now

[@courtneyb2462]

Yes!!!

[@caseymacmacl7463]

I may be a straight woman but I'd make an exception for Eliza! That woman is absolutely stunning!!!

[@EvilEye172]

No, she’s nothing too special, really. There are plenty of actresses who are just as good as she is. And better, of course

[@mishthemaverick8607]

Same

[@erbie102]

I grew up near Boston and my mom is great friends with Judy, her mother. Eliza is just as sweet, caring, concerned and ready-to-help as her charity work shows in real life. They are both doing so much good in the world and I applaud them!

[@TheSlackerElite]

I like her even more now.

[@asd5947]

I love Eliza Dushku. She's got so much more to give than just acting

Sophia Neilsson that's so nice I'll tell her you said that

[@rheab43]

I was always a fan of her work, it's a shame she didn't get huge movie roles...

[@tactrix1h]

She did, she just doesn't take them because of all the other stuff she's doing which is a lot more important if you ask me.

[@Jay-jb2vr]

Ry Ry she dates Rick Fox?? sugar daddy much??

Javontae Eaddy for real lol gross

[@TPRES_74]

Javontae Eaddy- They split 3 yrs ago. Supposedly he gave his Ex-wife herpes then they got a divorce. Before he met Eliza.

[@showofforce9620]

she seems like a wonderful human being

[@matthewesney2629]

she's too good not to work big roles..a big fan since I was a teen

[@wafaakh4612]

Me too .

[@ourgiftisLOVE]

OMG!!! She's so inspirational!! Did charity work on her own, with no camera's on, just did it on her personal time and for the greater good of other's, not for ratings! She is more amazing than i thought!! I will forever miss her as Faith and Tru!

[@Fatamerican1]

Eliza is a woman who just looks better with age. She was pretty before but on CBS - Bull she is just gorgeous!

[@billybarkly7498]

Eliza is an excellent actress who comes across with a lot of confidence. I think you will see her in many productions in the future.

[@plsavage]

Not Hollywood or any companies ive heard of want to hire a litigious person.

[@BlertaLa]

Eliza dushku we albanians love you!

Alex O thank you 😭

[@littlemix7103]

ILove Humans edhe une e dua kaq shume!!

[@Oddgrl1234]

Ummmmm she's a actual good person. Why is she not cast more???? Because she does charity work & is an activist?

[@jorenvanderark3567]

Most actors are activists for some cause. Get a better argument.

[@russianamerican7397]

Because she is stereotyped by Hollywood. She is beautiful woman but she has that dark side and toughness she portrays in most roles she ever took up on. She wind up being stereotyped by Hollywood. Basically she can't play dumb geeky blonde in their eyes which I think good actor could play any role. She just never been given a chance by Hollywood moment she got stereotyped in roles she plays. Sad but I believe it's true.

[@marceline_mal]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a classic and is still one of the most popular and well loved shows ever. Eliza's character Faith is a staple character (even though she wasn't a regular.) and impacted the show greatly. She had the best character out of the whole show in my opinion and playing a complex character like Faith, shows of her true talent. Faith was psychotic and dangerous, to capture that just like Eliza did takes talent... and believe me she's got it! She needs to be given the option to be in a huge movie! (The character Mia in the Fast and Furious franchise was actually written specifically for Eliza....) Buffy wouldn't of been the same without her.

[@csl9495]

She definitely would've been a good Mia

[@MrGoodsalesman]

look like she does not need Hollywood.

[@ALSILVERU2]

Should have decided that and called the police 25+yrs ago.. Yeah she needed Hollywood 🤭

[@ALSILVERU2]

@Edgy American True Lies was 94 she was born 1980. Production set was probably was 92-93 So she her parents decided if these decades later accusation pr claims are true that Hollywood career was a better path.. Let's put this behind us and move forward Dushky ok baby 👨‍👩‍👧 smile📸

[@iamknife7]

I don't understand why people trash these videos they are surprisingly insightful and encouraging.

[@Jimmy-Volmer]

She had a role in one episode of The League on FX. She's still hot enough to get any tv roll she wants.

[@peteyboi45]

She will always be "faith" to me and I'm gutted she never got her own spin off, even for one series to look at her origin story or post Sunnydale life. (Yes I am aware there are comics) But ultimately I think she'd fit into the MCU as a hero or heck I think she'd even make a good Harley Quinn.

[@talismonk]

Dollhouse was the shit.

[@glennwatson8826]

I LOVED that show! And it was just starting to really get interesting...

[@talismonk]

It really was. I was so pissed it was cancelled. Alpha was just getting started

[@aussieguy1012]

That was a good show indeed but you know joss whedon just knows his stuff.

[@SithCats]

I've been a fan of Eliza since she stole the show on Buffy back in the day (and had a huge crush on her ever since, but that's beside the point). I definitely agree that she was typecast though, as she pretty much always got the "tough chick" roles. One of the reasons I was so excited for Dollhouse was that I thought it would give her a chance to showcase a whole lot more acting range... but sadly the show just didn't live up to its potential. Glad to hear she has a lot of other things going on in life and hasn't fallen on hard times even though she's not at the height of her fame right now.

[@altenaasamiyagaming4713]

[@KMR136]

Faith was the best character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer besides Angel

[@TheJkm1969]

Spike was a great character.

[@TheGalatea2]

they were terrible in my opinion int BTVS, but the were great in Angel tv show. Anyway, Spike, Willow and Buffy have always been my favourite characters of that universe

[@frakkintoasterluvva7920]

Ennone Who? Faith was equally great in both Buffy and Angel. Angel was good on Buffy but better on his own show. Wesley was awful on Buffy and much better on Angel.

[@TheGalatea2]

FrakkinToaster Luvva Faith was psycho in BTVS, who tried to kill all of them with no reason and even when she was good she acted like a stereotype of a high school bad girl. Angel was annoying in btvs , only was there to be saved by the girl and less expressive than a Twilight vampire. And Wes was all the time screwing things up . They were far more better in the other show

[@frakkintoasterluvva7920]

Ennone Did you even watch seasons 3 and 4 of Buffy?!! Faith was anything but a stereotype. She was a great, complex character with a great arc. And she got most of her character development on Buffy - she was the exact same character on Angel, and her arc happened to cross over through both shows. It just happened that the two episodes where she turned things around were on Angel, but that was just a continuation of what came on Buffy. (And then she came back redeemed in season 4 of Angel and season 7 of Buffy.) And don't even mention Twilight in the same breath as Buffy!

[@edmundtansley4493]

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Seth Green and now Eliza Dushku? Looper and this channel really don't like Buffy.

[@adu1991]

Yup.... Michelle Trachtenberg is their next victim, lol.

[@rainfall5770]

I saw her in the movie wrong turn!!

[@satkirankaur550]

I am watching her in Wrong Turn as I write this.

[@heidimahon8143]

Rainfall me too !! xx

[@BloodofaFool]

Eliza should've taken that Faith spin off role. The buffyverse would've loved a show unraveling Faith and how she became the way she is. She's such a babe. Was obsessed with her as a teen. Faith is my bae.

[@watsonray188]

🙄If *Krysten Ritter* wasn't picked to be the Marvels superhero Jessica, Then *Eliza Dushku* !!! Would of most definitely nail the role into transforming into *Jessica Jones* I swear it!!!👍😋...

[@Es1am]

ugh i watched ALL of her shows from Faith to Tru Calling to Doll House she is Incredible

[@takeviral]

Miss Here :(

[@fryke]

In Dollhouse alone she played about 25 different roles if you're honest, since her character was imprinted with very different personalities each episode. So I'd say it's mostly her own choice, really.

[@shadowman2192]

Check out the movie "That Night" starring Eliza when she was just a kid. Very good movie.

[@motorcitymanman7711]

She played DiCaprios half little sister in "This Boys Life" too.

[@matthewmann8969]

She played good Faith pretty well as well as that character in Dollhouse

[@pbcman1]

I had such a crush on her I miss her sooooo😣

[@popeye697]

She was just announced as the newest cast member of the show Bull on CBS

[@MySweetAriane]

Has everyone forgot about the movie she was in with Juliette Lewis?! It was called That Night.That was one if my favorite movies growing up. Remember when Juliette Lewis character always would say "Hey now."

[@adu1991]

She decided to go back to school & also participate in important charities. Good for her. There's life beyond Hollywood, even though for some that's hard to believe :)

[@AngelinaLRnBMusicR]

i liked her, great actress. They should cast her in scary movies

[@nehanazir5967]

I find her super attractive and talented, it's sad how sometimes people who deserve attention don't get it because it's not meant to be. i will never understand hollywood standards though

[@gaaa2376]

Please really like Eliza Dushku , from Bali Indonesia. Tru Calling hits my childhood in 2003

[@ZakBaganslover4ever9]

So it's not that Hollywood won't cast her. She just no longer needs Hollywood to hold a prominent platform and is doing her own things, more meaningful.

[@sinkorswim416]

Maybe she didn’t want to act anymore because of the toxic environment she was in and NO ONE was helping her? This should get deleted since it’s pretty tone deaf these days 🧐

[@metaspherz]

We love you, Eliza. Please come back! There are many mature roles that could use your acting prowess. Indeed, you could take on an action hero role too, somewhat in the vein of a female Indiana Jones kind of character. Or you could tackle the role of the 'bad guy.' As the world inches closer to a post-COVID-19 era I think that many former Hollywood celebrities might want to give acting another attempt. A lot has happened during these last few years and I want to believe that many fully capable stars would want to exercise their talents again after being cooped up during the pandemic.

[@cerealelegance4137]

Eliza Dushku can do whatever she wants and be successful at it. So beautiful 😍

[@sandyhenry3238]

She has an impressive post TV/Movie life. Good for her. I thought she was my age lol..born in 1980 but played a few years older role well.

[@CougarLand]

Hello? Tru Calling not mentioned (which happened immediately after Buffy). She was in 27 episodes of that and Dollhouse as the lead character, compared to only 20 as a supporting character in Buffy. These "won't cast" videos are lame if they continue to work year after year.

[@lauraelainedesilets1189]

That still has fuck-all to do with why her opinions should be respected. And considering the revelations she made this week, her mom sounds like the last person she should take advice from.

[@ohioagainsttheworld676]

while Eliza Dushku is still insanely hot and a good actress, it's okay because now there's an actress out named *Adelaide Kane* that looks JUST LIKE Eliza when she was still young and painfully hot. she seems to be a pretty good actress too, and she could almost pass as Eliza Dushku's twin.

[@MarxasThomas]

the arch rivalry between Faith and Buffy was timeless in my opinion!
