CDAN – What former Golden Globe Best Actor nominee has fallen so far down the acting ladder that earlier this week he was forced to audition against 50 other actors for a fast food commercial?
SOLVED!
It’s Tom Hulce. Source: CDAN
Tom Hulce was certainly bound for superstardom after playing Mozart in Amadeus. In addition to his Golden Globe nomination, he has also been nominated for an Oscar and a Tony. He now lives a quiet life up in Seattle. We would love to see Tom Hulce in some meaty (but non-hamburger), high-profile roles again, and would personally volunteer to give him a makeover. Hey, a shave, a box of Just for Men, and a couple hours in the weight room, and BG will have him Oscar-ready in no time!
Tom Sizemore
Tom Hulce……
Congrats to Sandra for being first with the correct answer! Love, BG
Thx Bg!!
But did he get the job?
LOL!
Wasn’t Tom Hulce a producer of Spring Awakening?
Yes, Tom is a successful B’way producer, so this blind item is a little misleading. He is not down on his luck AT ALL.
Okay, I’m a little (lot) drunk, but if Nobel had a Gossip Prize I’d nominate Sandra. How in the world did you know this?
Sad. I was obsessed with ‘Amadeus’ as a kid and TH was all kinds of awesome in that movie. Here’s to hoping he can pull an RDJ.
Rick Moranis!!
Feed me Seymour!
Val Kilmer
He already looks like the Buger King guy, so that would make sense…ha ha
man that burger sure looks tasty
Terrance Howard
Tom Hulce has been nominated more than once for a Golden Globe, which probably would have been mentioned in the item. Tom Sizemore doesn’t appear to have been nominated.
Lol, Mr.Howard you have a little something on your face….do you need a baby wipe for that? I soo hope its him!!
Best performance by an actor in a many series or motion picture made for t.v. “Witness Protection” (1999) Tom Sizemore
Ken Wahl won in 1989 for “Wiseguy” – his wiki page says he’s currently broke: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Wahl
why not?
Oh, I take it back – I missed the all-important “nominee” in that blind, oops!
i thought of Jacob’s Ladder. Ving Rhames, maybe?
I doubt Ving has to audition!!!
Hah, def not Terrence Howard. He was dropped from Iron Man, sure, but he’s got projects to fall back on.
I actually like the Ving Rhames guess! Where has he been lately?
He seems to work a lot. Just not in anything “big”
# Silver Cord (2009) (pre-production) …. Detective Donovan
# Unshakable (2009) (pre-production) …. Metzger
# The Spanish Harlem Project (2009) (pre-production) (rumored) …. Nino
# The Van Zandt Shakedown (2009) (pre-production) (rumored) …. Vincent
# Piranha 3-D (2010) (filming)
# Master Harold… and the Boys (2010) (post-production) …. Sam

Betting dollars to donuts all those projects are straight-to-DVD fare…
Piranha 3-D?? Now I would pay good money to see that, but it does sound like alcohol would need to be involved!
no idea. no clue.
Matt le Blanc
I looked at the IMDB for Jacob’s Ladder, and Eriq LaSalle was also in it and also nominated for a GG.
That’s a great guess! He hasn’t been around in forever, and his ER salary probably wasn’t enough to retire on.
John Lone of “The Last Emperor”
I’m telling you people it’s Tom Sizemore. He was in Witness Protection 1999. Golden Globe Award for best performance by an actor in a mini series or made for t.v. movie. I win!
I am agreeing with you, drugs are expensive and Hollywood can shut out people who can’t get insurance to work on a movie and I think with his major drug problems he probably can’t get bonded for any major movies…sad.
Ok, I immediately thought of Ladder 49, but I really don’t remember who was in that movie besides Travolta (all hail Zenu!). . .
I know it’s not him. But wouldn’t it be funny it was Michael Douglas? (Especially after the fast food scene in the movie “Falling Down.”)
yay!!! rick moranis!!
yay!!! rick moranis!!
Sorry… forgot to say great post – can’t wait to read your next one!
I agree with Matt Leblanc. He was nominated for 3 GGs.
he has WAY to much Friends $ to need a commercial
Maggie Mae is right. The Friends cast all made $1 mil per episode for the last few seasons, not to mention the syndication $$$ and his spin-off show. This is going to be somebody who absolutely HAS to work!
Hayden Christensen? He was nominated for Life As A House. Since he’s gotten involved with Rachel Bilson his career is in the dumper, this wouldn’t surprise me.
I’m pretty sure that he’s made so much money off of Stars Wars, the kid doesn’t need to work ever.
Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger. Vincent, ever have a Big Kahuna Burger?
Samuel L. Jackson..It’s Sammy , Mr. Jackson if you’re tasty.
Cuba Gooding Jr!
Why does being involved with Rachel Bilson put Hayden’s career in the dumper? I’ll never understand peoples logic sometimes.
If he marries her will he blackballed from Hollywood?
Ummmm, am I blind? I don’t see any mention of Rachel or Hayden anywhere on here.
Lola look up lol, yes Sheri made the comment.
not eric las salle by a random set of events I spent some time with him a few weeks ago and he is doing absolutely fine. An incredibly nice guy too by the way.
whoops La Salle
michael clarke duncan?
