    I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again: Chevy Chase got fired from Community for behaving like… Chevy Chase.

    Being a method actor doesn’t make it ok to be an asshole
  • @GonzoHenson
    Dusting Hoffman and method actors in general: on the set of Marathon Man, having observed Hoffman's obsessive method techniques, a fed up Sir Laurence Olivier asked, "My dear boy, why don't you just try acting?"
  • @ll-yg2dn
    All of the other 29 actors combined could not stand the madness of Klaus Kinski.
  • @user-em6ie2be7x
    Steven Segal...Nobody has anything good to say about working with him. Just ask the cast of SNL.
  • @toogie6267
    Why is this tolerated when there's literally a thousand actors that could replace any one of these people!?🤯
  • @loganmcdonald568
    I find it so ironic how both Joan Crawford and Faye Dunaway were on the list considering Faye played Joan in Mommy Dearest. Almost like it was hinting at something there with the casting.

    Putting Christian Bale above people like Steven Segal, Jared Leto, and Klaus Kinski (who sexually abused his children, threatened to murder numerous extras and co-stars on various sets, etc.) is insane.
  • @joshuamohlman
    There’s a reason why Chevy Chase hasn’t been asked to return as a host for Saturday Night Live 😂
  • @darlenedavis8690
    I read somewhere that Jennifer Lopez doesn't "allow" anyone to look her in the eyes. She thinks she's above them so they shouldn't look her in the eyes. I was always taught it was rude not to look someone in the eye when talking to them. It's amazing how narcissistic and entitled some people truly are.
  • You ever notice that method actors never go method when playing nice people? They act like method acting is a blank check for asshole behavior.

    I had to stop the video after Seagal because I had to write this. Absolutely true about him. Worked on Code of Honor for three days as an extra. He asked if there were horses behind him because an extra had on high heel shoes (it was a club scene), he really didn't do any of the action scenes, he was there just to do dialogue and one of the worst parts is that two people had to hold up giant cue cards for him to read off of. Like he's so busy in his life that he can't memorize any lines 🙄🙄🙄

  • @user-em6ie2be7x
    I heard so many Horror stories about working with Chevy Chase.
  • @phantomrequim
    Leonard Nimoy was probably the only former cast member who had the patience to tolerate William Shatner cause everybody else stated how they felt about him.
  • @rome8180
    I'm guessing the main reason January Jones hasn't become a star is that she's a bad actor. Her acting worked for Mad Men because she's supposed to be repressed and uptight. But in other roles, she's been painfully stiff and wooden.
