Four For Friday - Kissing The Ring
Back in the day, this actor was getting close to A+ list. All of you know him. He played a character almost everyone knows. He had his chances at being a lead in some big movies and did OK. The thing is though, he forget where he came from and din't pay enough respect or do what he was supposed to do in finding new talent. Our actor was recruited by the disgraced director and the A+ list producer. He was one of their party boys back in the day who made them very happy so he got the roles and kept getting them. Over time though, he became less grateful for their help and less willing to find them new "talent" so to speak. He thought he could keep working just based on his name. Nope. Once you get into bed with these guys, literally and figuratively, you have to play by their rules. That means you go to certain events and you bring a handful of new young male talent for everyone to enjoy. When he stopped doing this, his career went in the tank. Oh sure, he got to keep his place in a couple franchises, but they are not big roles. Being the lead of big movies was reduced to being the lead in movies with $1M budgets. Apparently he finally saw the light and brought the powers that be a series of fresh young men eager to please. The next thing you know he gets a job out of the blue in a medium he doesn't really ever work and got a huge amount of money for doing so. Now, he is about to line up a deal to headline a movie again.
James Marsden? Went from film to Cable's Westworld?
ReplyDeleteJames Marsden and yes, we've had a similar blind before. I guess this is the sequel.
ReplyDeleteC. Thomas Howell?
ReplyDeleteThat is intriguing, @Sandybrook, but who is the disgraced director?
DeleteIf Marsden, it's the usual suspects, so to speak.
Chris Pine could work too since he is now filming a TV mini series, with the character everyone knows as Captain Kirk?
ReplyDeleteRay liotta
ReplyDeleteDisgraced director is obviously Singer.
ReplyDeleteHe worked a lot early with Spielberg Sara. That covers the A+ producer part at least.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Marsden
ReplyDeleteSeann William Scott - sounds more like him
ReplyDeleteMarsden was close to A+? What character did he play that everyone knows? This seems like someone bigger.
ReplyDeleteBrendan Fraser?
ReplyDeleteDisgraced director Singer, the actor possibly Marsden..but the A+ producer?
ReplyDeleteTaylor Lautner
ReplyDeletedisgraced director Bryan Singer
ReplyDeleteA+ producer Ryan Murphy
I'm going with vigo mortenson
ReplyDeleteAgree with @Wendy O. Seann William Scott.
ReplyDelete@nothisgain i tought Murphy,too that would be in his " style" everyone must follow his desiderata, in EVERY ways. He is worse than Singer, in more ways
ReplyDeleteCould this be any more disgusting ?
ReplyDeleteYes, you could be eating movie theater 🍿with fake butter while watching a movie involving this trio.
DeleteI wish Ryan Murphy and Bryan Singer would BOTH fall
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Seann William Scott is a good guess. Changing my guess. ☺
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows Stiffler.
More like kissing the O-ring, right?
ReplyDeleteIf Seann William Scott, "job out of the blue in a medium he doesn't really ever work" would be action star in "Lethal Weapon" TV series, I guess. Then the movie "Bloodline" is currently on the film festival circuit. Fits.
ReplyDeletei could read it with some many different actors, it is valid for most, and for eomen too.
ReplyDeleteEven Hidds and Branagh.
Someone from Lord of the Rings? Elijah Wood or Orlando Bloom?
ReplyDeleteSinger is not yet disgraced as far as I know. He still gets work, and no one has sued or filed a police report.
ReplyDeleteRenner?
ReplyDeleteNick Hoult.
ReplyDeleteDisgraced director is Singer.
He just got a Hulu show.
There's pics of him on Singer's jet with a bunch of barely legal twinks.
And some may say Singer isn't disgraced yet...but it's widely know what he does.
Alec Baldwin...?
ReplyDelete@Fuchsia Elijah Wood is more likely to whistle-blow this kind of behavior in Hollywood than to partake in it. Right? Right?
ReplyDeleteI would hope so! He seems like a decent guy... it was a little weird though when he made those comments in an interview about pedophilia being rampant in Hollywood, but then backtracked afterwards saying he never personally knew of anything like that happening. 🤔
DeleteThe only guesses that make sense are Sean William Scott or Nick Hoult. The rest have never been close to A+ list.
ReplyDeletei change my guess to seann william scott
ReplyDeletecharacter everybody knows - stiffler of american pie franchise
other franchises besides american pie - ice age, super troopers (does that count?)
just got the lethal weapon tv role, "The next thing you know he gets a job out of the blue in a medium he doesn't really ever work and got a huge amount of money for doing so. Now, he is about to line up a deal to headline a movie again."
not sure about the movie
bryan singer = 'disgraced director'
ryan murphy = A+ producer
Stiffler, yup n they ALL blow whistles 😉
ReplyDeleteHe played a character almost everyone knows = James Marsden
ReplyDeletedisgraced director = bryan singer
a job in a medium he doesn't really ever work = Sonic the Hedgehog
The title made me think of Elijah Wood..
ReplyDeleteI think SWS is talented and watchable
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets back up there
I know Sean William Scott. I don't know James Marsden.
ReplyDeleteJackman?

ReplyDeleteIan McKellen? Poss?
ReplyDeleteThis blind is definitely Seann William Scott on datalounge the gay men there swear he is a closeted gay man himself. Seann was involved with Bryan Singer and the other man is obviously Kevin Spacey. Seann career went downhill for a while but he is back on tv.
ReplyDeleteOriginally thought Lautner, but yeah it’s Sean William Scott
ReplyDeleteFFS News are you still here infesting every post you can find with your bizarre obsession with telling lies about Hiddleston and Brannagh?
ReplyDeleteI was just reading the thread about you on Datalounge. You are literally a psychopath.
seann william scott "out of the blue" - cop in lethal weapon. bloodline- horror is new genre for him
ReplyDeletehenry thomas. Elliot in ET, job out of the blue.. House on haunted hill??
ReplyDeleteI originally thought Jude Law, with the kiss the ring title referring to him having played the Pope. I think Enty would’ve said foreign born though and it’s probably going to be someone younger than Law.
ReplyDeleteMatt Bomer, medium he doesn't usually work = Broadway (BOYS IN THE BAND)
ReplyDeleteMurphy
Definitely SWS. Don't forget he was in an episode of Chad's World for DEN and that ties in with Singer, Rector and the rest of those animals.
