Wasn’t one of the Little Rascals a nasty little shit? “Alphalpha”?
And then immediately after the series was over, announced that she was done with Buffy and would never play the role again.
Oh yes–no one was surprised when he was later killed. *Nasty * kid, always tormenting the others and even poor Petey the dog (who was later poisoned, though not by Alfalfa).
Bugs and Daffy, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Sylvester and Tweety, Tom and Jerry …
All good examples of their real life feuds mirroring their on screen antics.
I thought it was common knowledge that Meredith Baxter Birney was furious when Michael J. Fox took over Family Ties, a show that was supposed to focus on the parents.
Alfonso Ribeiro (best known as Carlton on Fresh Prince of BelAir was on an interview and said that Silver Spoons, the Rick Schroder sitcom he was on in the early 1980s, was a tense set, and Jason Bateman has said something similar. Both said it was due to Schroder’s parents being insanely jealous of any other kid getting popular, which is why Bateman was shipped off and Ribeiro’s singing and dancing scenes were cut. Neither maintained any sort of friendship with Schroder. Mayim Bialik’s mother had a reputation as a similarly jealous and micromanaging stage mother when she was on Blossom, particularly hating Joey Lawrence because of his popularity.
Leonardo DiCaprio has said that Growing Pains was a miserable experience but didn’t go into any detail as to why.
I hadn’t heard that, but Larry Wilcox, who played John on CHiPs was really jealous of how popular Erik Estrada was, particularly since initially the main character was supposed to be John, but Ponch became so popular they shifted the focus onto Estrada.
That’s why refused to come back for the final season.
Also, while officially Stephanie Kramer left Hunter after six seasons to pursue a musical career, there were rumors that the real truth was that she had falling out with Fred Dryer, the show’s star. Her replacement also reportedly couldn’t stand Dryer and quit halfway through the final season.
That said, Kramer did come back for a few made-for-TV movies and even an attempted revival of the series years later so it’s possible they either A)patched up their differences B)never had any issues with each other or C)decided that the money was worth putting up with it.
Kirk Cameron was insanely jealous when DiCaprio became a teen idol. He told the producer to get rid of him or he would leave the show.
How…Christian of him. :rolleyes:
In a panel she gave at Dragon*Con a few years ago, Erin Gray, best known to many as Col. Wilma Deering on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century but now an agent, Robert Davi is so insufferable as to be universally loathed by co-workers. I think she even explicitly said his asshattery was the reason Ally Walker left Profiler.
He also demanded that the camera operator wears a croco-duck costume.
P.S: is he working in “Christian” movies because he cant imagine working for sinners or because they’re the only ones that would employ a Fundamentalist jerk?
His political/religious views probably aren’t the reason.
To get blackballed in Hollywood your views have to be really, really extreme.
It’s probably more likely that he mainly only wants to do “Christian” films and is absurdly picky regarding what material is “appropriate”.
Has there ever been a “great guy” story about Val Kilmer? He seems to have been hated by pretty much all of his co-stars who have spoken on the issue. A possibly apocryphal tale is from The Island of Doctor Moreau (one of the truly great abysmal films) when Brando, himself no stranger to on-set weirdness, told him “You’re mistaking the size of your paycheck for the size of your talent”.
What did he say? I don’t want to imagine Michael Palin being mean-spirited to anyone. 
He always seems nice. Even when dealing with these pricks(a bishop and an editorialist trashing Life of Brian) he remained civil unless you count his killer “at least you saw it with an open mind” line, and I’d have probably croaked the bishop before the third time he said blasphemous.
True, but their post-Beatles estrangement wasn’t nearly as total or long lasting as many of us might have thought at the time.
.
Yes. I think he and Paul were more like brothers who had been extremely close for a very long time, had gone through an almost unimaginable pressure-cooker experience of fame an fortune as the Fabs, and needed time apart from each other.
And of course, Yoko’s influence was considerable, but that’s not exactly unheard of in wife, husband, and husband’s friends relationships.
.
The Martin and Lewis movies all showed Dean as a crooner and great singer. But when they broke up Lewis actually had some singing hits before Dean did. Rockaby your Baby was one.
I also heard that during the making of The Ghost and the Darkness (1996), Michael Douglas, fed up with his shenanigans, took him aside and said, “Do you want to have a career like Mickey Rourke’s? Because that can happen.”
Not like a threat; like an observaton…
Didn’t faze him; Kilmer has 9 future movies on his docket and 6 that came out already this year. Then again none of them appear to have been a big hit, which I guess is the ultimate point.
