Elsalvajeloco Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Sanaa maybe needs to do what Vivica did: tape an episode of Unsung Hollywood so she can try to humanize herself and get folks to see past the gossip columns. I have a bad feeling that it would backfire and people would find out just how much of an asshole Sanaa really is. The only people they could find to say good things about her would be Michael Ealy or Taye Diggs and that would be out of pure professionalism. I want to hear what Omar Epps would have to say about her crazy ass. That shit would be epic. The thing is people view Unsung and Unsung Hollywood like they use to do with Celebrity Rehab and Celebrity Fit Club in that it's for has-beens. However, I will say Sanaa is a couple crow's feet and one bad career move from being on Hollywood Divas with Elise Neal, Countess Vaughn, and those other women people barely remember. As far as Aisha Tyler goes, I think there are a bunch of actresses right now who will take her longevity over starring in a few movies and fading away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I was going to mention Fred Savage as a big child star who never went on to do anything, then remembered he was dead and went to imdb to double check. Turns out he's still alive and has been working steadily with a lot of tv and voice acting work. TMYK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 To her credit I have never seen Sanaa slumming it in a Wendy's commercial, hosting a game show, or making a guest star appearance on some daytime soap.. At least she has high standards and is smart enough to realize that black centric cinema keeps her light bill paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just surprised there isn't a young black filmmaker who wants her to star in an indie project solely based on the fact she was in Love & Basketball fifteen years ago. There probably is one, but she might consider herself above doing crowdfunded stuff. She's at an integral point where she has to marry a baller soon or start willing to be eighth or ninth on the call sheet like Thandie Newton doing this Westworld show.

Tabe Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Obviously I'm stretching the terms of the discussion, but I'm surprised that Aisha Tyler never got a step higher on the celebrity ladder. Like, at least some slim supporting roles in big screen comedies or something.What, hosting E3 isn't "a step higher"???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Honestly, I'm surprised about what happened to Nick Stahl. I remember he was getting a lot of attention for In the Bedroom, and on that he booked Terminator 3. I think he sort of fits the profile. After that he did Yellow Bastard in Sin City, and he kind of fell off the map after that. He's kind of fallen on hard times as of late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I definitely thought that Eric Bana was gonna be, like, Brad Pitt big. A solid A-lister. While THE HULK was definitely a misstep, I thought that MUNICH would put him on that path. Instead he plays a lot of supporting roles, or gets the lead in stuff that looks pretty crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah, I expected Bana to have a great career balancing critically acclaimed roles and popular fare like Michael Fassbender but that did not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think Bana's case is two-fold: the first is that another tall Australian beat him to the punch to the A-list (Hugh Jackman). The second is an influx of incredibly talented actors who could play the same roles came along and pushed him out (Bale, Fassbender, Hardy et al). Plus, Bana didn't seem like he was into playing the Hollywood PR game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Tyler has 2 regular TV roles (Whose Line Is It Anyway, Archer), a recurring role on Criminal Minds this season, a daily talk show (The Talk), and a podcast (Girl on Guy). She's pretty frickin' busy. I was going to mention Fred Savage as a big child star who never went on to do anything, then remembered he was dead and went to imdb to double check.

TV director or money mark for Eric Bischoff. Take your pick. I meant his actual brother, Ben Savage (Boy/Girl Meets World), rather than Jason Hervey. Speaking of B/GMW, I expected Danielle Fishel to be a bigger star than she's turned out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Y'all forgot there's another thing holding Eric Bana back: he sucks. TERRIBLE actor. I've never seen him give a performance which didn't look sub-competent for a big movie star. The entire reason he was cast in Munich is because he perfectly fit the non-entity of a character he was playing; they needed someone so bland and forgettable that you'd never believe he was an assassin. With the ladies mentioned, looking at their IMDB pages, I'm oddly under-familiar with their careers. I've never happened to see a single movie or TV show that Aisha Tyler has been in. And as for Sanaa Lathan, there's only Blade (and I remember basically nothing about her character) and Alien vs Predator (in which she was not even fuckin' trying, Bana-level bad, right down to the end where she hilariously no-sells being burned in the face by acid in a "serious" moment). What's all this talk about her supposedly being so crazy? Us folks who never watch or read the tabloid stalkerazzi "news" never get to hear most of this gossip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It's not like he's not working, but how the fuck did Aaron Eckhart fail to translate The Dark Knight into a leading man career? Well, for starters, he's Cuba Gooding Jr. when it comes to picking roles. Edit: And I just learned that there's a sequel to Olympus Has Fallen coming our way next year. Really?

Reed Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Eckhart's kind of bland, isn't he? Mia Kirshner's was so amazing in the otherwise so-so The Black Dahlia, I'm surprised she didn't end up more famous in movies. She has done a ton of TV work, so it's not like she disappeared or anything, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Eckhart's kind of bland, isn't he? I would never think of 'bland' for him. If anything he's super charismatic within a limited range of roles. Ala John Cusack, Sam Jackson, Johnny Depp, or RDJ. You know what you're getting with any of them but it'll never be boring.
