Charlie Sheen early on was tabbed as a great acting force going forward iirc

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Jan 12 '10, 09:53

until he ruined his career and seemed content with that level of drama.

Responses:

We actually watched "Wall Street" and were amazed at how bad he was in it... - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:00 1
- yeah but he was the hot young stud of hollywood at the time. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:03
Ruined his career? Isn't he on what is still the highest rated sitcom on TV and regularly Emmy nominated? -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 09:55 24
- I think most people consider TV roles to be like the minor leagues. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 09:57 23
  - $825,000 per episode, boitch! -- nm - Charlie F'in Sheen Jan 12, 09:59
  - like RDJ, with his 22 episode run on Ally McBeal? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:58 1
    - I forgot to put "slumming it" in there -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:59
  - in general they are. Being a TV star is a very different than than being even a mediocre movie draw. - Reagen Jan 12, 09:58 19
    - Could have fooled us. -- nm - George Clooney and Tom Hanks Jan 12, 10:04 13
      - as Dano said Re: Hanks, and Clooney was looking like an up-market David Caruso for several years. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:08 2
        
        Clooney had largely been a failed TV actor, but I will say he doesn't become *Clooney* without ER. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:12 1
        
        agreed. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:14
      - I wouldn't have ever called Hanks a big TV star. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:06
      - 2 out of how many actors on TV???? - groiny Jan 12, 10:06 8
        
        Just in the last 15 years; Caruso bombed, Romano hasn't done anything, the Friends underwhelm, no one from Seinfeld did much - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:09 6
        
        Down Periscope was awesome! -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 10:13 3
        
        I will go to my death defending "Down Periscope". - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:15 2
        
        my brutha. Plus it had Director Sheppard in it! -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:17
        
        appropriate -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:16
        
        Which makes the Kevin James success an out and out shock. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:12 1
        
        yeah it is. But he's tapped into something that works for him. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:14
        
        Demi Moore -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 10:07
    - I agree, but I think that's changing. Look at Glenn Close. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:01 4
      - no one's exactly beating her door down with scripts. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:04
      - She went the other way though. TV has been great particularly for "older" actresses because there are no film roles for them. - Dano Jan 12, 10:04 1
        
        all very true points in this thread. Kyra Sedgwick got a nice career out of her show on TNT when the she wasn't getting anything for movies. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:15
      - her other options were 110 Dalmations. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 10:03
I loved him so much in Hot Shots. It breaks my heart what a bastard he is. -- nm - David Jan 12, 09:54 5
- You telling me? I mean, Emilio is the *good* son?! I mean, he married f*cking Paula Abdul!! -- nm - Martin Sheen Jan 12, 09:57
- agreed. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 09:54 3
  - I keep waiting for a "Men at Work" sequel. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 09:54 2
    - poor Emilio -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 09:57
    - the Commie bastard gets no food! -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 09:55
