If this former A list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner/nominee had been nicer to the people he worked with, he would be able to work in front of the camera instead of trying to fit in as many autograph shows as possible to make a living.
Adrien Brody?
ReplyDeleteI can see it. I've never heard anything good about him. Self-important asshole seems to be the general consensus.
DeleteNicolas Cage??
ReplyDeleteI've heard Cage is a nice guy. Eccentric, but nice none the less. This will be an actor who has a reputation for being a rude arse who hasn't worked much. I can think of one elderly actor who might fit that bill, but I'm not sure he's ever won an Oscar.

DeleteThis is a good guess. I don't see that he's doing autograph cons, but there's sooooo many of them he very well could be.
He definitely fits the rest.
Norton doesn't sign autograph or do fan convention
DeleteCage owes the IRS a shit ton of money, but he still gets plenty of paying gigs, mostly in shitty B movies. Dude has talent, someone is going to cast him in a big budget film and he's going to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnyway this sounds like an old DM story, gonna say Richard Dreyfuss. Famously a piece of shit on set who no one likes, broke and not getting parts.
I have also heard from people who have met Cage that he's strange but he's pretty nice to deal with. I don't think it's him.
ReplyDeleteCoppola family values seem decent. Francis paid everyone back.
DeleteTrying to figure this one out, but Cons are a huge rabbit hole...
ReplyDeleteI think Barstool is right. Dreyfuss was in Sydney doing a comic con and charging for autographs.
ReplyDeleteDreyfuss had a minor role in Book Club, has five movies in the can as per IMDB, and is about to make another one. So he is still working quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteHe's also making a movie at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI see Robert Wagner has been making the autograph show rounds. But he's never been Oscar nommed.
ReplyDeleteNeither has Michael Biehn. He was going to be my guess.
DeleteBiehn never was nod
DeleteCuba Gooding is supposed to be a jerk and hasnt been working much
ReplyDeleteNOrton comes from a very wealthy family, he doesn't need to hawk autographs
Good call on Cuba Gooding Jr.
ReplyDeleteEdward norton's grandfather is the architect who started the craze of converting urban historic buildings into suburban style shopping malls.
ReplyDeleteCage has been a part of so many projects I find it hard to believe it's him.
ReplyDeleteDreyfuss is a tool. He shows up late, waits to see how long the line is, and then adjusts his asking price on the fly......It’s cheaper to buy his autograph second-hand than it is to go through the meet-and-greet scam he pulls.
ReplyDeleteWho would pay for an autograph from any of those people. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't want to be unknown but I don't know how to change it.
Val Kilmer was at a midwest ComicCon
