CDAN – This Academy Award winner/nominee A list movie actor is also a big music fan. Not so much of other music, but primarily of his own. He also has a huge ego. On a recent movie he was shooting he had it written into his contract that once a week a certain number of crew members had to show up in his hotel suite and listen to our actor play his guitar and the songs he was writing. Most of the songs were about himself and things he had accomplished in his life. Needless to say the crew hated him with a passion. Instead of going home to their families, once a week they had to go to a hotel suite for a few hours and listen to the bag of wind go on and on about great he was. In song.
Russell Crowe
during filming “a good year” in france,he did concerts in tiny towns and i saw his band !
Billy Bob Thornton
Not A-list! I believe it’s Russel Crowe.
When you win an Oscar as he did for Sling Blade, you’re usually considered A-list.
Tell-me: is Cuba Gooding Jr a A-list actor??
No way does winning an Oscar make you A-list forever.
Does Jamie Foxx play the guitar?
i like your idea! nominated for Collateral,winner with ray,he’s actor and musician(even 2 records)
Yea but his first CD was decent.
I will have to respectfully disagree with that.
i would happily listen to Johnny depp play his music any day of the week.
every one would be happy!
Russell Crowe is a great guess.
billy bob thorton
DEFINITELY Russell Crowe!
Russell Crowe! (what kind of pathetic loser has it written into his contract that the poor crew workers HAVE to go listen to him, lol! Sounds like slavery!)
DEFS Billy Bob … he loves contracts, like the ones he gives radio hosts dictating the questions that can and can not be asked.
My guess is Kevin Costner. He’s in a band of his own and a friend of mine had been on the set when he was filming one of his previous movies — quite a while ago (sorry I can’t remember the name). She said every break he played his guitar and would set up impromptu jam sessions whenever he could.
yup this was goin to be my guess too
russel crowe or joaquin phoenix
Crowe his band s* so his solo performances must be equally torturous.
Terrance Howard
Jamie Foxx fits all the clues.
KEVIN BACON
BILLY BOB
Keanu?
Quite a few BI’s have Keanu as guesses, but they always seem to be ones where the fella is an a* hole.
I always thought he was very nice an down to earth. Is this not the case??
I’ve heard being from Toronto, stories of him in all walks of his life, that he is odd, but kind and he is shy but not a snob. So I don’t know if you’d call him down to earth, but I haven’t heard anything that says he is a mean person.
i have to agree and go with Russell. BIG EGO.
100% Russell Crowe
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Robert Downey Jr. He released a CD a few years back.
Ryan Gosling is currently filming a movie and recently released a music video with his band Dead Man’s Bones.
Don’t hate on the Gos. He’s man candy.
Ryan’s not A list. B+ I’d say. Franco has surpassed him and is A- now (well that’s my opinion anyway)
I go with Russell Crowe because he is rude enough to do this and he plays a guitar. Billy Bob, when I saw him perform, never touched a guitar, he sang.
think of an egoist who feels that he has done tremendous things….
actually, all these guys fit the bill.
I’m going to say Nic Cage.
Academy Award winner/nominee – nomed twice, won once
A list movie actor
Plays the guitar – claims to have grown up best friends with Joey Ramone
Instead of going home to their families – Family Man
Bag of Wind – Wind Talkers
I originally put forth Russell Crowe – the mental image of chubby RC laboring over his guitar and bleating out songs about himself to a bored, antsy group of ‘listeners’ all dying to go HOME was just too, too vivid. But now I like the Nic Cage guess!
