Examples Of Actors Playing Best Friends, When In Real Life The Actors Hate Each Other

From what I remember hearing, they hated each other. I think some of the tensions in the Ramones was because Johnny Ramone was politically very conservative and none of the others were.

Also, I guess Lieko posted the link to Wil Weaton’s blog before I did. I scanned the thread to see if anyone replied to Frylock’s question but I guess I passed right by it. Sorry about that.

As it should be, since she was far and away the worst actor on the show. Just godawful, while pretty much everyone else rocked it. Damn shame.

Also because the KKK took his baby away.

Regarding Roseanne, I think John Goodman, being the professional that he was, put up with a lot from Roseanne-Barr-Arnold-Just Plain Roseanne, because she didn’t start out as an actor but as a comedian. Certainly the actors who played the kids on the show have mostly gone on to bigger and better things, which I think we can credit Goodman’s professionalism.

Honestly, I would be shocked if Tom Arnold was any sort of a dick, manipulative or otherwise. I admit I haven’t seen much of him beyond when he’s acting, but he’s always struck me as a decent guy.

Yep Johnny stole Joey’s girlfriend.

Johnny appeared to be a dick. That said, he kept the band together and made sure that they all go paid, especially Joey so he wasn’t a one-dimensional bad guy.

I don’t know about being on That 70’s Show but Hyde’s real life brother was the older brother on Malcolm in the Middle. The one who was in military school and then worked at that dude ranch.

I heard it was closer to hate.

Really? I never would have guessed. Anyone got a link?

Back to Shannon Doherty (howeverthat’sspelled). She is renowned for being a bitch and was replaced on Charmed after a showdown with Alyssa Milano that ended with Milano giving the producers an ultimatum “Either she goes or I go!”

I had also always heard that he was sold the show as a serious look into a post-divorce family and the struggles of a blended family. Reed was a hot commodity after his stint on “The Defenders”. Reed was a classicly trained serious actor who, IIRC, was very unhappy when he found he was under contract to a campy show like “The Brady Bunch”.

Despite that, he was a professional who never let his unhappiness interfere with his job - and the rest of the cast, particularly the children, loved him. He really was a second father to many of them. And he loved them enough to come back for reunion shows.

He certainly rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, self-admittedly. He just has one of those personalities it seems, and a lot of people took a dislike to him without actually knowing him at all. He tells stories of Hollywood execs who would badmouth him and steer work away from him without his knowledge who’d later end up apologizing to him for it once they realized he was actually a decent guy. Of course there was a stretch were he was into drugs (now into recovery) which probably didn’t do anything to help his status either.

What I gathered is that he pretty much always says what he thinks. A certain handicap in Hollywood.

Does anyone remember the time when Tom Arnold was on Conan, and it came up that Roseanne Barr had apparently commented (this was just after T. A. and Roseanne had divorced) publically that Tom Arnold has a teeny tiny little putz?

Of course Conan kept bringing the comment up, and was sassing Arnold about it, when Tom shot back that “if you land a 747 in the Grand Canyon it would also look pretty small in comparison”. (implying that Roseanne’s vagina was a huge, gaping, canyon-like orifice)

One of the most vulgar, shocking, disturbingly evocative (and all around fucking funniest) one liners in the history of late night talk shows…

Bruce Campbell’s Autobiography If Chins Could Kill slams him (while painting E. Borgnine as a pro) on the set of McHale’s Navy.

You thought kissing Jimmy Stewart was like kissing Hitler? When did you kiss Stewart? :smiley:

I recall hearing Christopher (“Peter”) Knight and Barry (“Greg”) Williams saying that, years after the show was off the air, they learned that they were about the ONLY males on the “Brady Bunch” set that Robert Reed WASN’T propositioning constantly.

Any fan of the American Popular Song would find himself attracted, in some way that he couldn’t explain, to Florence Henderson. I’m not gay, but Maureen McCormick was/is a total fox, so if one were open to other experiences she was there. They ugged up Eve Plumb, so if you were interested in a woman who was playing young, there you go. And I had a mild crush on Alice since her days on “Bob Cummings.” (Do with it as you will. She was nice and really loved Bob. What’s not to like?)

The little ones? I will jump out on a limb and assume Robert Reed didn’t really hit on them.
