Today's Blind Items - The Academy Award Casting Couch
This actress is B list now. A very solid B list who most people know. She has always been in movies. No television. One of her biggest roles came via an audition. It was her big break. She had already met with the director and producers and now was having a one on one with her Academy Award winning co-star. He was married and had a great reputation so when he suggested they meet at his place she agreed. When she got there he turned on his smile to full wattage and was talking about his wife and made our actress a drink and they sat down and started to talk. As they began talking more he continued to refill her glass while just sipping his. She started to feel woozy. She didn't know if she was drunk or if he had slipped her something. He wouldn't do that. He is a nice guy and there is just no way. He told her there were several other women he was meeting about the movie and that because they were going to have a sex scene in the movie he needed to make sure they got along very well so there would be chemistry. He said they should kiss and see how that went. She was more woozy and the next thing you know the kiss led to groping which led to sex and she says all she really remembers about the entire sexual encounter was laying on his office couch and staring up at his Academy Award while she kept saying to herself, but he is a nice guy. She got the part, but has never spoken to the guy since the end of filming.
Tom Hanks for the guy.
ReplyDeleteBut he's got 2 Academy Awards. And has he ever had a sex scene? And I don't really want to visualize that.
ReplyDeleteAward winning actor, married with great rep = Tom Hanks?
ReplyDeleteAnd Robin Wright Penn? That's his only sex scene that I can think of off the top of my head.

ReplyDeleteDana, I completely forgot!!! Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and Forrest Gump!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me think of Denzel Washington, especially since there were all those rumors about him having an affair with Sanaa Lathan when they did a film together. He has 2 Oscars like Hanks and he's definitely done sex scenes.
ReplyDeleteWas Gump Robin's big break?? She was already in movies (Princess Bride) before this.
ReplyDeleteWright was on the soap Santa Barbara.
ReplyDeleteBut wasn't she married to Sean Penn then? And that wasn't her big break. Her big break was "The Princess Bride."
ReplyDeleterobin wright penn was on a soap for 450 episodes, that hardly "no television"
ReplyDeleteAt the time, Tom Hanks had only one Oscar. He would win another for Forrest Gump.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI like the Tom Hanks guess, but I don't think this is Robin Wright Penn. She got her start on Santa Barbara.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I see Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas. To the general public he has a wholesome image, to us gossip lovers we know differently.
ReplyDeleteMichael Douglas has a wholesome image? Even as a little girl watching "Streets of San Fransisco," I didn't have that impression. I didn't understand tbat for about another 12 years. ;-)
DeleteWhich movies did Denzel have love scenes?
ReplyDeleteAnd did Tom Hanks have his Academy Award for Philadelphia when they were casting for Forrest Gump? I'd guess the FG casting would have been before the AA ceremony, since the movies were in back to back years, no?
ReplyDeleteNope. You're right. Tom won hist first Oscar in March, 1994. Forrest Gump came out in July.
DeleteIt's hard to argue that Sanaa Lathan is a name most people know. I had to cut and paste it just to put it in this comment.
ReplyDeleteDenzel and Eva Mendes -- Training Day
ReplyDeleteDitto Beth. Robin Wright Penn has done a fair amount on tv.
ReplyDeleteI'd really like this to turn out to be Red Buttons.
ReplyDelete@ Beth - I was just typing that as my guess.
ReplyDeleteTom Hanks/ Robin Wright popped right into my head. Not sure about that soap opera but it might be hard to find any actress who is well known and has never done any form of TV. Thing is, Forest Gump came out in '94 and Hanks won his 1st Oscar for '93's Philadelphia. Would there be enough time between winning the Academy Award and casting Forest Gump for this to be possible?
ReplyDeleteThe actor has a "full wattage" smile. I don't think Hanks has one of them ?
ReplyDeleteEva Mendes was on VIP and has several TV movies on her IMDB resume, so does Paula Patton who I thought of. Sanaa Lathan had an affair with Denzel that left her in therapy and a rumored abortion.
ReplyDeleteEva Mendes hasn't done any TV since she became a name. Everything seemed to be bit part on her way to something else.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't Sanaa. She had a recurring role on Nip/Tuck after she became a known entity.
Full wattage smile? Tom Cruise and the girl to get her big break was Renee Zelweiger.
ReplyDeleteReally? Your guess is a guy who:
DeleteA. Has no Oscar.
B. does not like vagina?
Really? Your guess is a guy who:
DeleteA. Has no Oscar.
B. does not like vagina?
say it ain't so about Denzel.. but that sounds convincing !!
ReplyDeleteTom Cruise never won an Oscar and would never touch a woman. They have girl cooties.
ReplyDelete@Jin, Renee Z has been the subject of other blinds re: her start related to Dazed and Confused. I don't think this is her.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Tom Cruise and a chica on the casting couch... LOL!
I'm thinking Matt Damon for the actor.
ReplyDeleteTom Hanks and Colin Firth are the only ones I can think of with "nice guy" reputations and both are married. Colin Firth is too recent though so I reckon Hanks.
ReplyDelete@ Vicki Sorry I probably shouldn't have said "sex" scenes, but off the top of my head (besides Training Day) I can think of Mississippi Masala, He Got Game (kind of, you'd have to see it to know what I mean), and whatever that movie was that he and Sanaa did together. Oh and Devil in a Blue Dress.
ReplyDelete@ Nutty Flavor As for mentioning Sanaa, I wasn't meaning that I think she was the actress in question, just that since there have been rumors of him screwing around on his long-time wife, he could possibly be the answer.
what makes this blind even more difficult is that the wording says "academy award winning" which could mean that the award(s) could have come after the film in which they starred in came out?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Affleck? Can't think of the actress, since it's clearly not Blake Lively.
ReplyDeleteMCV2989, it says she was staring up at his Academy award during their encounter, so at least one of the awards had to come before the film they starred in together.
Denzel got his Oscar for Training Day, and the actor already had his at the time of their 'encounter'. Rules out Eva Mendes.
ReplyDelete@ Jolly That was Denzel's 2nd Oscar. He got Best Supporting Actor for Glory in 1990.
ReplyDelete@ Jolly. Denzel had also won an Oscar for Glory, released in 1989, Oscar received 1990. So I dunno if he's off the radar. I mainly remember this because it was Billy Crystal's first Oscar EM run and arguably his best.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds, etc., @ Bangagong. LOL.
ReplyDelete@ Bangagong: woops, sorry didn't know that!
ReplyDeleteDenzel definitely has one of those "full wattage" smiles, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm on board with the DW guess.
Bangagong, get it on.
ReplyDeleteThis blind said point blank, NO TELEVISION. Robin got her start on Santa Barbara. It might be Hanks, but its sure as hell not her.
ReplyDeletehere in hollywood denzel is known to sleep with ALL of his leading ladies...ALL of them. Its an open secret. Cant be him. This reeks of Tom Hanks. wasn't he screwing around with the chick from big love a few years back?
ReplyDeletedon't think there's a sex scene in training day
ReplyDeleterobin wright penn was on the old soap Santa Barbara.
ReplyDeleteHugh jackman and the girl from Juno, big break-xmen?
ReplyDeleteHugh jackman and the girl from Juno, big break-xmen?
ReplyDeleteSorry, Hugh is as likely as Tom Cruise to seduce women. Now his male business "partner", sure.
DeleteThere's no time frame given on this so I wonder if it's fairly old. Could Michael Cain be the Actor? He plays tough guys, but has a reputation for being happily married. He had a sex scene with Sean Young in Blue Ice though that was hardly her big break.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know if Gregory Peck had any sex scenes? Joking.
There is a scene in Training Day where Denzel is in a bedroom and Eva is naked, indicating that the characters had just had sex. She played his mistress in the movie. TD was Eva's mainstream Hollywood break.
ReplyDelete"full wattage" smile - DW had a movie early on his career called "Power".
ReplyDeleteI have no answer, just the clues:
ReplyDelete~Actress is a solid B list now who most people know
~no tv !!!! only movies !!!
~Had to audition= was her hig break.
~Male Academy Award winning co-star.
~Married and had a great reputation
~His Smile = full wattage
~Sex scene in the movie
No time frame .............
OK, we can rule out Tom Hanks - doesn't have the big smile, only sex scene was in Gump (AFAIK), made before he'd won an Oscar.
ReplyDeleteSo we need a leading amn, big grin, Oscar winner, good rep, has been married.
The shortlist comes down to: Denzel, Robin Williams, and Michael Douglas. Damon too, might as well throw him in the mix.
Robin Williams should NEVER do sex scenes, Damon has only been married since 2005, and if there's a big sex scene since then I don't know about it.
Seems to come down to Denzel or Douglas. I like the Denzel-Eva Mendes guess. She's done TV, but none since her big break in Training Day.
Good one Layna. And Mendes wasn't ever on the small screen that I know of (and I am filled with useless knowledge). Not to mention who would Ever think Denziel would be so smarmy.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Denzel also win for that movie about the boxer who was in jail? forget the name.
ReplyDeleteThe hurricane
DeleteI'm liking the Eva Mendes - DW guess.
ReplyDeleteWould Dustin Hoffman be a possibility?
http://www.filmsite.org/bestactor2.html
ReplyDeleteHere, take your pick. Many big smiling, good reputed, married men to choose from.
Just because people in Hollywood know about Denzel doesn't mean the rest of America knows, and if this was the acrtress' big break, she also wouldn't know. Denzel most definitely has a full wattage smile.
ReplyDeleteGrey: If you can think of a Dustin Hoffman sex scene since 1980, I've got some brain bleach you can borrow. I think I'd rather watch Robin Williams humping away.
ReplyDeleteThere's always the possibility that this one is really old - like, Gary Cooper and Clara friggin' Bow.
Not Mendes and Denzel--they worked together on another film http://bahcecik.ipower.com/evamendes/interviews5.htm
ReplyDeleteThe blind says that she's never spoken to the guy since the end of filming.
So, what about Uma Thurman and John Malkovich in Dangerous Liaisons? I think Uma was unknown before that.
ReplyDeleteWow...I can't believe everyone thinks of Tom Hanks as a "nice guy." Does everyone forget that he cheated on his first wife with his Rita Wilson??? Sure, I like the guy and think he's a terrific actor and plays "nice guy" roles and all, but why would anyone be surprised if he cheated? (Slipping a mickey is an entirely different situation though.)
ReplyDeleteNow if Kevin Kline were to do something like that to Phoebe Cates, now that would be a shocker! But I don't see any costars that got their big break as his costar. And I'd be glad if it wasn't him. He and Phoebe seem to be the most normal couple in Hollywood.
We need to consider that the sex scene in question was in the original script but 'left on the cutting room floor', though it's safe to assume the characters were involved even without the scene.
ReplyDeleteUma's a good guess, but she just did "Smash" on NBC.
ReplyDeleteTrey;
ReplyDeleteDamn you and your dratted facts. That knocks that guess squarely on the head, and we're back to square one.
@chigirl, Malkovich doesn't have an Oscar.
ReplyDelete@Trey, I wonder if this is one of Enty's fudges. She may have worked with him again but not have spoken to him except when necessary or after filming THAT movie.
Out of Time was with Sanaa and Eva... awkward.
ReplyDeleteNo way did I know Tom Hanks cheated on his 1st wife. If ever there was anyone in Hollywood known as a nice guy, it's him. Except for maybe people like us, and even we don't really have any facts.
ReplyDeleteIce Angel - whoa you got me scared for a moment there, I thought you had some bad dirt on Kevin, noooo!
grossiosso
ReplyDeleteUmmm..where does it say the scene was left on the cutting room floor?
ReplyDelete@MsGirl-I saw Tom talk about his affair during an interview and that he has a lot of regrets for it, even though he did end up marrying Rita. They had kids and he admits it was wrong.
ReplyDeleteHis ex wife died not long after they divorced.
Infortuneately, she was an alcoholic.
DeleteJus to be different i'm goingto say kate winslet.
ReplyDeletea scene implying that they just had sex is not a sex scene.
ReplyDeleteThe repeated emphasis on this actor being generally perceived as a nice guy fits Tom Hanks better than any other actor I can think of.
ReplyDelete@ Comma Chaser Great minds indeed! :)
ReplyDelete@ Agent**It LOL! I'm glad you like my name as much as I like yours
@Grey I think that comment meant that the sex scene was in the script and used for auditioning purposes by our nefarious actor but the scene might not have made the final cut of the film. Definitely possible.
A few years ago the "nice guy" reference would have made me think of Morgan Freeman, but I guess the scandal with his step-grandaughter killed that image.
ReplyDeleteJim carrey and Cameron Diaz for Mask!! Jim's wife at time was Melissa womer. Cameron hasn't done tv that I can see, and jim won 4 awards (golden globes.. That bit could be fudged) definitely has the Full wattage smile!
ReplyDelete*Crosses fingers FTW*
I'm still hoping it's Red Buttons...
ReplyDelete@munchkin, Enty usually doesn't fudge on the Oscar bit, which Carrey does not have.
ReplyDeleteJust throwing this out there... Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Beyonce. The Fighting Temptations.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Wikipedia, Eva's big break was in Training Day. Denzel already had an Oscar for Road to Glory (or whatever that Civil War movie was). Denzel has a HUGE smile. And he has always struck me as hiding behind that huge smile of his...
ReplyDeletematt damon, julia stiles, bourne identity?
ReplyDeleteThat was hardly her break, and I'm not giving up on Matt Damon being a good guy.
DeleteTopper-About 14 years ago or so, I was dating a guy who was best friends with Adam Buttons, Red's son. I never got to meet him but I was at his house and met his wife. The son lived in the pool house. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about the possibility of this being Matt Damon....
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about this being Matt Damon
ReplyDelete@david - Julia was in Dexter so don't think it's her
ReplyDeleteHow far back are we going with this?
ReplyDeleteBest Actor Winners:
Jeremy Irons? Anthony Hopkins? Forest Whitaker?
Best Supporting Actor Winners:
Tommy Lee Jones?
Christian Bale?
The whole "nice guy" thing is so subjective.
While it's definitely possible that the scene didn't make it in the movie and while it's true that enty fudges at times, I think if we twist the blind too much to make it "fit" our guesses we are getting way off track.
ReplyDeleteI think if enty meant golden globe he would have said golden globe, not Oscar. and also would have mentioned that the scene didn't make it in the movie.
jmo
Rosario Dawson got a big break with He Got Game with Denzel Washington. He had already won an Oscar for Glory
ReplyDeleteNever seen the movie..did they have a sex scene or relationship in the movie?
Rosario Dawson was already working on the indy circuit and creating a name for herself. check out the movie Kids. great flick.
Delete^^ Matt damon showed his true colors during the last primaries when he said a woman could never be POTUS. This is a Gem coming from a man with four daughters who was raised by a single mom.
ReplyDeleteIt's been said that Denzel can be terrible toward his leading ladies if they ignore his advances. As long as you flirt/fool around with him, he's great. But you stay away from him? Look out. Makes me wonder about the rumors that he was mean toward Cynda Williams (Billy Bob Thornton's ex) during Mo' Better Blues. Spike Lee pretty much said they didn't get along, but said it was more about Cynda not understanding the material and asking Denzel too many questions when getting ready to film. But it could have been that she turned him down.
ReplyDeleteNot that this blind is about her, because she's definitely not B-list.
Right, Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz, All the Pretty Horses?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Matt Damon and Vera Farmiga or Emily Blunt? Although Vera Farmiga did a short-lived cop show on TV.
ReplyDelete@Trey - nice find "Out of Time" DW and EM 2nd film.
ReplyDelete~Actress is a solid B list now who most people know
~no tv !!!! only movies !!!
~Had to audition= was her hig break.
~Male Academy Award winning co-star.
~Married and had a great reputation
~His Smile = full wattage
~Sex scene in the movie
~but has never spoken to the guy since the end of filming~
No time frame .............
I'm sorry, I'm still trying to get over the Michael Douglas guess. Even before I started reading gossip blogs -- or there was any such thing as a blog -- I know Douglas was a POS. Def not him!
ReplyDeletewhat about robert redford?
ReplyDelete@Grey, Milla Jovovich played Denzel's love interest in the movie... more his prostitute, which is interesting because he usually refuses to do love scenes with white women. I guess the difference was he wasn't actually facing her. Rosario was his son's love interest, and her big break was in Kids.
ReplyDelete@mynerva, I wouldn't call All the Pretty Horses Penelope's big break. it didn't do well, and she didn't become known. I don't think she had to audition either. They were trying to get her into US movies for a while. She was huge in Spain and on the art house scene before we heard her in English.
I'm sticking with the Eva/Denzel guess. Just because they were in a movie together doesn't mean they had any interaction when the camera wasn't rolling or stopped talking after the second movie. Eva was still on her way up at the time, and I can't imagine her bypassing the second lead because of him.
Btw, if it's not Denzel, I'm thinking we need to start working with an earlier time frame.
ReplyDelete@mynerva - I don't think this is Penelope Cruz. She was a big actress in Spain before coming to the US.
ReplyDeleteI would personally like a Milla Jovovich/Denzel guess...
ReplyDeleteBut The Fifth Element (Milla's big break) came out a year before He Got Game.
She divorced right around when He Got Game came out and she was in the random photos recently...
Hrmmmm..
@Grey, The Return to the Blue Lagoon was Jovovich's big break, and the Fifth Element did more business than He Got Game. (She was a well-known model before she was an actress.) She was also in Dazed and Confused and was featured on the poster, before both The Fifth Element and He Got Game.
ReplyDeleteEva is in the photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've ever heard it said that Denzel is a nice guy... I've always heard he was an egotistical jerk. Bronson Pinchot said he was "one of the most unpleasant human beings I’ve ever met in my life" in an interview. He also said, "Denzel Washington cured me forever of thinking that there is any amount of money or anything that could ever, ever make it okay to be abused. The script supervisor on that movie said it’s like watching somebody kick a puppy. He was so vile." (Google "Denzel Washington Bronson Pinchot AV Club")
ReplyDeleteThat said, I have no clue who this is!
Of course, if Denzel is the cad Broson Pinchot says he is (and I believe Bronson because he is the coolest guy ever), then that makes it even more likely that this blind is about Denzel after all.
ReplyDeleteNo...not Robyn Wright. She was on the TV show Santa Barbara for a few years. Besides, Forest Gump wasn't her break out movie. It was Princess Bride.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweetie bird said. Al ive heard is what a jerk dw is.
ReplyDeleteI've seen Denzel and Eva in another movie (she played his ex-wife) so that wouldn't fit with never speaking to the guy again the end of filming.
ReplyDeleteThe only "nice" guys I could come up with from the '80s on up:
ReplyDeletePaul Newman
Jeff Bridges
Tom Hanks
I'm goin' with Jeff!
Chet Haze wearing a Tom Hanks mask.
ReplyDeleteNewman doesn't have an Oscar, and Bridges hasn't broken anyone's career open in the past two years.
ReplyDeleteLong time lurker, first time poster, Hi everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Munchkin. I think this is Jim Cary/Cameron Diaz and The Mask. Maybe "nice guy" is a clue from the part of the movie where we find out that Stanley Ipkiss had written a letter to "Ask Peggy", he signed it "Nice Guys Finish Last", aka Mr. Nice Guy.
I like that guess Kitty Kat.
ReplyDeleteMila was on TV early in her career, she was on married with children as a foreign exchange student.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOk...can't be Jim Carey. He didn't have an academy award during the filming of The Mask.
ReplyDeleteIt would be pervy if this were Timothy Hutton (Oscar for Ordinary People) and Natalie Portman as the actress and Beautiful Girls for the movie. But she was really young (like, 15) and I'm sure that would be part of the blind. Plus she's A list, right?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteNo...can't be Natalie. Her break out role was The Professional. Besides, she's an A list.
ReplyDeleteMatt Damon has an oscar and is a nice guy...but I don't know who the actress would be. I'm stumped. Tom Hanks should fit as the nice guy, but it doesn't seem to with the actresses in his movies.
Tom Hanks, Colin Firth, Matt Damon, Danile Day Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Dustin Hoffman, Jim Carey, Hugh Jackman...are all nice guys in Hollywood that I can think of...but none match.
Wouldn't be Natalie Portman -- she had already done The Professional.
ReplyDeleteMatt Damon never said a woman could not be president. He was against Palin, like everyone in their right mind was.
ReplyDeleteActually the blind doesn't even say there was a sex scene in the movie, it says that the ACTOR SAID there was going to be a sex scene which was his excuse for testing the chemistry. But it could have been bs he made up to get her to be compliant.
ReplyDeleteI'm so upset. None of the academy award actors/supporting actors fit this BV. The one that fits the best would be Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz...especially the hint with the "Smile to full Wattage." clue, which would be The Mask character. He was also married with a child during the time of the movie. Maybe this is how Enty is trying to throw us off, just like he does with his time frames.
ReplyDeleteOh please, not Paul Newman! I'd...I'd have to kill myself, I think.
ReplyDeleteBut...Paul Newman and Bonnie Hunt? (Cars)
Paul Newman did win an Oscar, for The Color of Money, IIRC, but I really don't see this as being him.
ReplyDeleteSo this creep basically roofied the actress so he could rape her under the pretense of it being an "audition"? I wish you'd reveal this one, Enty, although I'm guessing you probably won't/can't...
Ben Affleck has won an Oscar and there was a point in time that he was considered a nice guy, wasn't there? Any other writer/actors or director/actors that could fit in this scenario? Or Best Supporting Actors?
ReplyDeleteGosh, I thought this was Denzel from sentence two. I also thought it was his co-star from "Much Ado about Nothing", Kate Beckinsale, until I saw the "we have a love scene" part. So I'm stumped.
ReplyDeleteI could honestly see Emma Thompson knocking him on his ass for something like that. ;)
but hes a nice guy LOL...
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to make this fit Kevin Costner or Mel Gibson or Clint Eastwood or Robert Redford, all of whom have Oscars for directing, are actors, and have/had good-guy images.
ReplyDeleteDenzel's reputation is known in most major cities that have women he can pick up and screw, so that's pretty much every damn where so his reputation is hardly known for being a nice, wholesome guy. And he also had sex scenes in Mo Betta Blues although I doubt he had an affair with Angela Bassett when they did Malcolm X. Don't really see it.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever said one nice thing about Denzel? I don't think he is the guy with the good reputation. I don't anyone would be remotely surprised if it were him.
ReplyDeleteIt simply can't be Tom Hanks & Robin Wright at all as the timelines don't match up at all. Filming on Forrest Gump began August '93 and the Academy Award ceremony where Tom won his first Oscar was in March 1994.
ReplyDeleteKevin Kline - Salma Hayek in The Wild Wild West?
ReplyDeleteWarren Beatty?
ReplyDeleteCrila - Jim Carrey has never won an Academy Award, so he's out.
ReplyDeleteThis one is really tricky. After looking at every name of winners (and I don't think Enty would fudge on this detail as it's also part of the title) I'm going with....
ReplyDeleteRon Howard! (won for directing). (Plus everyone thinks he's really nice and he does have a nice smile)
Okay, it's probably Tom Hanks.
Ok I don't think it's Tom Hanks, but he also had a sex scene (sort of) in the Green Mile. If you remember, when John Coffey "cures" him, he satisfies his wife, then tells his friend the next day "five times" with a big smile. Of course it didn't show the actual sex, but it showed them leading up to it, and in bed. Might have been more cut out.
ReplyDeleteTom Hanks & Audrey Tatou in The Da Vinci Code
ReplyDeleteSince Matt Damon is an utter boob, I'll guess Matt Damon & Emily Blunt
ReplyDeleteThe Adjustment Bureau
This so definitely is DW. Whatever his reputation in Hollywood, he comes across as a good guy to Middle America. Movie has got to be Training Day. I know it's called acting, but his inner asshole seemed so fully formed in the movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Russell Crowe? He has a sleezy repution.
ReplyDeleteNicholas Cage?
ReplyDeleteOr George Clooney?
ReplyDeleteWould he need to date rape to get a little action?
I was thinking Costner too. Dennis Quaid used to have a wattage smile... idk, I have to go back to bagging licorice.
ReplyDeleteJeremy Irons and Juliette Binoche as a curve ball. Not perfect but it was her international big break and not sure when they went into casting for that film. But they had major fights on set, so there might be something there.
ReplyDeleteScratch Clooney. He's not married.
ReplyDelete(Must read entire BI).
If it's Denzel in Training Day, then who's the woman?
ReplyDeleteEva Mendes has done television.
Alright, if it is Tom Hanks, what about Elizabeth Perkins from Big? It was Tom Hanks first Oscar nomination and they did have sex in the movie. It was implied at least.
ReplyDeleteSanaa Lathan done television.
ReplyDeleteBesides, I don't think she'd quality as B list.
I do go with Denzel more than Hanks though. He is known for being sexy and smiling. They worked on Philadelphia together. Middle America does love Denzel. He is all over the Big O too.
ReplyDeleteDenzel is a dick

In the 1980's and through much of the 1990's the press constantly ran the same "family man" stories about Mel Gibson, with his parcel of kids and "famblee valooos" and Kevin Costner with his longtime love/wife and their kids. This was the big press angle around both men at the time. You could also say the same was true about Harrison Ford during this same period.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else remember Mel Gibson in the movie Hamlet, with Helena Bonham Carter playing Ophelia? I think there is a rough physical scene in it but not actual sex. She was just barely known at the time for her work in the movie Lady Jane as Lady Jane Grey and Hamlet I believe was one of her first cross over/American films, also around the same time she starred in the British hit A Room with a View. Since then she has been solid B list, especially since her relationship with Tim Burton.
Anybody connect in a similar way to Kevin Costner or Harrison Ford? I have a sneaky suspicion that it's one of these three.
While costner and gibson didnt have anything really bad written about them , it was never written hiw wonderful they are either. Ford i think is a lush, and has never bothered to hide his infidelities, so i wldnt think he wld bother to force anyone. Hanks i cld possibly believe, but cant really. A puzzle!!
DeleteNia Long and Ice Cube?
ReplyDeleteI have no clue update:

Kostner and Young in No Way Out?
ReplyDeleteAudrey Tautou's big break was Amélie Poulain.
ReplyDeleteFor s&g, I agree with shopgirl. Ron Howard. Cate Blanchett. Ron's "sex scene" was American Graffiti. Academy Award for Beautiful Mind won a year before he directed Cate in her break out role and I don't think she has done any tv.
ReplyDeleteNo Way Out was before his Oscar!
ReplyDeleteTom Hank's first wife died 15 years after their divorce, not right after, as someone stated. She died of bone cancer. Let's not start making stuff up because it sounds juicier than the truth.
ReplyDeleteChanged my mind. No one has a bigger smile than Matt Damon. Emily Blunt?
ReplyDeletea BILLION years ago - SNL did a segment on Tom Hanks (he was on as a guest) as the "NICEST GUY IN THE WORLD"

ReplyDelete"Let's not start making stuff up because it sounds juicier than the truth."
Haha! Don't you know how this board works??
Couldn't be Jim Carrey, no award.
Has Will Smith won?? I remember him being nominated.
RE Bronson Pinchot & Denzel Washington:
ReplyDeleteOn working with Denzel Washington in "Courage Under Fire":
Denzel Washington was behind the incredibly cowardly bullshit of "This is my character, not me."
He was really abusive to me and everybody on that movie, and his official explanation was that his character didn't like me, but it was a dreadful experience.
I spent my salary on time with my shrink just for helping me get through it...
The script supervisor on that movie said it's like watching somebody kick a puppy. He was so vile.

Geoffrey Rush - Shine - Wattage smile. Is such a 'nice guy' that he got an order of Australia. Married.
ReplyDeleteCould it be Nic Cage? Now I know he seems batshit crazy now, but back when he won his best actor AA for Leaving Las Vegas, he had done movies where he was the dopey nice guy, and could be, to many, considered a nice guy with a good rep.
ReplyDeleteI am most likely way off, but I thought I would give it a shot ;)
I thought of Kevin Kline. But Salma Hayek worked plenty before Wild West. And she's done TV.
ReplyDeleteAm I the oldest person on here? Or the only one to use IMDB? Tom Hanks was on Bosom Buddies. I'm doubting it's him as he was well known for that.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't say the actor didn't do tv, but that the actress didn't.
DeleteLoved that show tho...but am I really that old?!?! :)
DeleteI don't think it's Malkovich and Thurman. Uma is def A List and well known. But you may be onto something with JMal. There were rumors he and Michelle Pfiffer hooked and, he said he was going to leave him wife for her, then backed off.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that this is Kevin Kline.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to make Heather Graham and Laura Linney work, who both just scream B-list to me and have had sex scenes with him, but they also have both done TV in some way, shape, or form.

Yes, he does. Places In The Heart 1988,

I'm old too. I remember Bosom Buddies. But it says she's done no TV, not him.

ReplyDeleteMalkovich was nominated for Places in the Heart but lost that year to Haing S. Ngor for the Killing Fields.
He has no Oscar as of today
Emily Blunt was in "Charlie Wilson's War" and had a sex like scene with Tom Hanks.

ReplyDeleteI'm leaning towards the Denzel / Eva Mendes quess. However, Eva's done a bit of TV. Although nothing really since "Training Day."
ReplyDeleteSometimes Enty is not exactly right.
Hmmmm.
I thought of Tom Hanks and Emily Blunt, but she has considerable credits prior to Charlie Wilson's War. And she's done TV, but it was before this movie.
ReplyDeleteI really, really don't want to think of Tom Hanks as capable of this sort of behavior.
Yes - the first guess gets it again. Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan.
ReplyDeleteMeg Ryan was on As the World Turns for two years before going to movies.
ReplyDeleteCan't be Tom and Meg. They did sleepless, and then You've Got Mail. Hard to avoid talking to someone when they are opposite you in a movie...
ReplyDeleteIt say's he was married are we to believe he isn't anymore?
ReplyDeleteNot Emily Blunt. Her big break-out in the US was "The Devil Wears Prada." What about Jamie Foxx? He has a creepy vibe to me. I never saw "Dreamgirls." Did he have a sex scene in that? I thought maybe Jennifer Hudson or Anika Noni Rose.
ReplyDeleteDamn. Jamie Foxx isn't married. After reading all of the comments, I need to go back & read the original item again before I post!
ReplyDeleteNope. Changed my mind again. Morgan Freeman was a nice guy before his ex revealed his affair with his step grand daughter.
ReplyDeletehi everyone,
ReplyDeletenot so long lurker but first time poster. it kind of kills me to write this because i really don't want it to be him but how about sean connery for the award winning actor and cathrine zeta-jones for the b-lister with the movie being entrapment.
I have no clue update
