10 Actors Who Were Never The Same After A Role (VIDEO)

Here are 10 actors who were never the same after a major role.

The life of an actor is not always easy. You have to deal with the casting couch, typecasting, and other pitfalls in the film industry.

YouTuber ScreenRant recent broke down 10 actors who were never the same after a major role in a movie. The video features several actors who had found major success in the film industry with life-changing movie roles. However, experiences on set, whether they be stunts gone wrong or never living up to the success of the original, changed their lives forever. For example, George Clooney did his own stunts in Syriana and got severely injured when one of the stunts went horribly wrong. Shelly Duvall dedicated four months to the filming of the intense film The Shining and was put through literal hell to get her scenes films.

Alden Ehrenreich Reveals His Acting Preparation For ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’

Alden Ehrenreich shares some acting tips and how he prepared for Solo: A Star Wars Story.

One of the most difficult challenges for an actor is to take over a popular role from a major actor. That was the biggest challenge for Alden Ehrenreich in Solo: A Star Wars Story, who is playing a character made famous by Harrison Ford in the original Star Wars trilogy.

In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Enrenreich speaks about what Ford told him about playing Han Solo and what he took from watching Ford’s performance in the original movies.

It has been clear that Ehrenreich met with Harrison Ford during production. When asked what advice Ford gave him, Ehrenreich reveals, “He said, if anyone asks, tell him I taught you everything you need to know and you’re not allowed to say anything. So that’s the that’s what I keep sticking to.”

Ehrenreich added what it was like preparing to play one of cinema’s most iconic rogues. So how did he prepare to portray Solo? He explains, “I think the main thing was to watch all the originals kind of as early as possible so I could absorb the feeling for the character and I wouldn’t want to list those mannerisms because then it’s like you’re watching, doing the thing, but um, but there was definitely a little stuff, but the main thing was, I think, for it to feel like a person. Like a real person and to have enough of that kind of feel and touch that you believe that he could become that.”

‘Stranger Things’ Casting Directors Reveal Why Atlanta is The New Hollywood

0

Do you want to become an actor? Well, you may want to move to Atlanta.

The casting company behind Stranger Things, Ozark, and Atlanta, revealed that many Georgia actors are auditioning for nearly every day.

In a recent interview, Atlanta’s Feldstein Paris Casting shared how Georgia’s film industry has changed in past years. They began by explaining how they discovered Shannon Purser, a local actress from Roswell Georgia, to play the role of Barb.

“We had to been looking for that role forever seeing all different types of girls,” Paris said. “When we ran into Shannon, we actually overlooked her at one point. We looked at her tape. It didn’t work at that moment. Then we went back and take another look at this girl.”

Her audition would launch her career, the casting company explained.

The casting helped the casting company win their first Emmy last year. They were later nominated both Stranger Things and Donald Glover’s hit FX series Atlanta.

Arguably, Feldstein Paris casting is one of the most influential casting companies in Atlanta, Georgia. They provide casting for several hit shows including Netflix’s Ozark, OWN’s Greenleaf, and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Previously, the casting company worked from home. Now, the casting directors work out of an office in Battery Park in Smyrna, Georgia. Thanks in part to the fact auditions are now being sent digitally saving an enormous amount of time and money.

According to SAG-AFTRA Atlanta, the number of actors working in the state has grown from 800 people to well over 2,200 in less than a decade.

“Some actors are getting four or five auditions a week,” Bennett said. There are some actors who try to book every TV show that shoots in town. You could potentially get a day in everything.”

“Some actors are getting four or five auditions a week,” the casting company explained. There are some actors who try to book every TV show that shoots in town. You could potentially get a day in everything.”

One actor even argued that Feldstein Paris casting decisions have improved the number of opportunities for regional and local actors. The casting company explained the casting company has  “really raised the industry’s awareness of the talent pool in Atlanta. They really love actors, and it shows in their work. They’ll push to cast local actors in larger roles.”

Warner Bros. Series ‘DOOM PATROL’ is Now Hiring!

0

Warner Bros. new TV series Doom Patrol is now hiring several film jobs in Georgia.

According to the Georgia Film Commission, producers are now accepting resumes for all crew positions. As a result, producers are looking for production assistants, grips, gaffers, make-up artists, stylists, wardrobe artists, and other crew members to work on the upcoming TV series.

About Doom Patrol:

Doom Patrol
Doom Patrol via Warner Bros. and DC Comics

DOOM PATROL is a re-imagining of one of DC’s most beloved group of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief). The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities—but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence—and to protect Earth from what they find. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of TITANS, DOOM PATROL will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.
