Hawk 34 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Is anyone else disappointed when you see an favorite childhood movie (Sandlot, Little Giants, Mighty Ducks, etc, etc) and realize that the majority of those kids never had much of a career beyond those movies?
King Kamala Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 I'm kind of disappointed that the kids on Freaks and Geeks (With the notable exception of Seth Rogan) didn't turn out to be bigger stars. James Franco is a semi-big star but I thought he would be one of the biggest stars of the '00s. Maybe it was the James Dean TV movie but I thought he had potential to be huge. He has to fire his agent as all of his leading roles have been crap. And why isn't John Frances Daley should be playing the Topher Grace roles (the affable dork), Martin Starr should be doing the Jon Heder roles, Samm Levine should have a fledging career as a character actor.
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Linda Cardellini hasn't done bad for herself.
Gary Floyd Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Saw Diary of the Dead. Pretty fucking stellar. Theater was unfortunately only half full , even though this is the first day of a limited release. Support it! I'm just pissed that nobody in Ohio picked it up. Oh well, good to here it's good.  Â
luke-o Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Linda Cardellini hasn't done bad for herself. Â I've said it once but I'll say it again. She needs more work than just E.R.
Craig Th Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 ER has only made one star and we all know who that is.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 I was thinking George Clooney.
Hawk 34 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Wrong. Only this guy starred in the TNT triology, The Librarian. Â
Ravenbomb Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Forrest Whitaker. He won an Oscar right after doing ER. Clooney didn't win an Oscar until after doing From Dusk Till Dawn.
NYU Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon have had an entertaining feud on his show the past year or so. The latest was Sarah Silverman doing a music video "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" on the show with both of them singing about how she's fucking Matt Damon. I thought it was pretty funny, at least. So for those who didn't see it: Â http://youtube.com/watch?v=vz5zhy4CBcA Â Supposedly Kimmel is planning to do his own version of "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck" with Affleck, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Harrison Ford, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz.
Black Lushus Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 I like Matt Damon. I'm glad to see he hasn't gotten to be all super serious movie star and still likes to have fun doing stupid shit.
randomguy Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Forrest Whitaker was in ER? Â But he's always been a good actor, it's not like ER made is career.
Nighthawk Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Well, George Clooney was on Roseanne.
King Kamala Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 And he was a regular on the last season of The Facts of Life (Surely a TSM favorite)
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Forrest Whitaker was in ER? But he's always been a good actor, it's not like ER made is career. He did some guest spots, he wasn't a regular cast member.
Ravenbomb Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 And he was a regular on the last season of The Facts of Life (Surely a TSM favorite) Â But it was Return to Horror High that put him on the radar.
King Kamala Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 A strong argument could be made that his role in Return of The Killer Tomatoes made Clooney's career.
Ravenbomb Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Ditto with Anthony Starke, who has a nice TV career going now. He was even on ER this year.
2GOLD Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Wrong. Only this guy starred in the TNT triology, The Librarian.  TRIOLOGY?!?! WHEN WAS PART 3 ?!?! HOW DID I MISS IT ?? WHY AM I TYPING IN CAPS ?!?!
Craig Th Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Forrest Whitaker. He won an Oscar right after doing ER. Clooney didn't win an Oscar until after doing From Dusk Till Dawn. I'm talking about regulars on the show, not guests who were starts before they got on the show. Â ER is known for having big actors come in for a few weeks with a guest spot. So they can win an Emmy.
Ravenbomb Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Facetious comment. Â If we're talking regulars, John Stamos clearly gained the most. ER did so much for his career that it actually went back in time and put him on a hit show, and a TV movie where he got framed for killing his wife on a boat.

Ravenbomb Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I think every b-level TV actor has at one time been framed for killing their wife on a boat. Even the lady actors.
Ripper Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 So I was just watching 30 days of Night. Â I think I might be developing a man crush on Ben Foster. That guy can just about steal any movie he is in. Â Â
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Foster's in that movie? Shit now I must see it.
Guest tonyjaymzretro Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Foster stole every one of his 2007 mvoies....Alpha Dog, 3:10 to Yuma, and 30 Days of Night...he was the best part in all 3 movies
