Have you ever wondered why an actor has been replaced by another one ? That too in the middle of the shoots ?
Be it the tantrums or the directors’ understanding of who best fits the role, nothing can stop replacement. Even after getting selected after the auditions, this job is not guaranteed to be permanent. Lets find out more about who got fired mid shoot.
Julianne Moore
Due to the differences between the actor’s and director’s understanding of the role, Julianne was dropped from the movie Can you forgive me and was replaced by Melissa McCarthy. In an interview, the actor told the host that she did not leave the movie, but was fired by the director Nicole. People wonder what if Julianne played the role, would she be nominated for the Oscar too.
Charlie Sheen
Actor Charlie Sheen was dropped from his role of Charlie Harper. As per the director, he was a drug addict and lashed out at those who tried to help him. He was self destructive and physically ill, said the producers. Sheen’s role was given to Ashton Kutcher.
Megan Fox
Megan Fox was fired from her role in Transformers: Dark of the moon after she had commented some ”not so good things” about the movie’s director. I am sure nobody would like to hear negative about themselves. Her role was then given to Rosie Huntington-Whitely.
Edward Norton
Known for his role as Bruce Banner, The Hulk, the actor was never called to play it in the Avengers. According to the production producer Kevin, they needed someone who creative and is enthusiastic about collaborating with other actors as a team. Mark Ruffalo played the role then onwards.
Suzanne Somers
Somers was let go of her role just because she demanded for a raise. Her co-star John Ritter was already getting paid the higher amount she asked for. Even though she got $5,000 raise, she left the network. It was not what she needed. What are your views about this one ?
