Blind Item #9
This B+ list mostly movie actor is the kind of actor who always gets nominated for things. Tons of film festival noms. He is a winner/nominee of an Academy Award too. Hit pay cable show for a nice run. Gobbling up anything with an oxy in front of it the past few months.
Oxycontin, rich man's heroin.

ReplyDeleteForest Whitaker? Just a shot in the dark
ReplyDeleteAA nomination for Revolutionary Road/Boardwalk Empire pay cable hit
ReplyDeleteJ.K. Simmons might be better unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteGreat guess.
ReplyDeletethx! :(
ReplyDeletePretty sure JK is sober, doesn't drink at all even for many years. What pay cable show did he have a long stint on?
ReplyDeleteSure hope it isn't him. Saw him in an off-broadway play before he made it big and he just nailed me to my chair with his performance. Everyone in the tiny theatre left saying the same thing, "This guy is going to be a major, major actor!"
ReplyDeleteOz.
ReplyDeleteJK was on Law and Order but not pay cable. He wa sone of my favorites! Maybe Cranston? not sure if he is on pay cable and hope not.
ReplyDeleteI agree he is riveting. He was at TIFF looking a little funky and there was a reveal about him and his lady at some awards show(Emmys?) being the most "out of it" or whatever phrase Enty used lol. It would be a shame, but not unheard of.

ReplyDeleteMeant to be Michael Shannon who is a critics darling , at the Toronto Film Festival. Not sure if it's true but either he or his stylist is on something.

JK was on an HBO series called OZ for years. Breaking Bad was on AMC, but that's not considered pay cable. Pay cable is HBO, Showtime, Starz, & Cinemax.
ReplyDeleteHave seen Michael Shannon in his smaller (but fantastic!) Chicago theatre several times. He is pretty skeezy looking up close -- but man -- can that boy ACT! And he's supposed to be a prince, based on his co-stars.
