Career Assessment

January 11, 2016 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] This famous film actor had a bit to drink last night. After watching him stumble around trying to pick up on female celebrities at the after party, a small group of actors assessed his situation.

“I remember when he was really hot. What happened to his career?

“Well, he has [those two franchises] to pay the bills.”

“Yeah, but other than those, can you remember anything he’s done in the last ten years?”

“No. He’s good-looking, but he’s just not that great an actor.”

“Maybe he could marry another celebrity.”

“Maybe. At least he’s got his drinking to keep him busy.”

BONUS CLUE! Our actor has two connections to Disney, one more obvious than the other.

Actor:

His Two Franchises:

[Optional] Do you think he’s a great actor?

    I thought Shia Lebeuf (might have name wrong) this wouldn’t be too much of a surprise though.. Man Orlando 🙁

      And I guess Shias probably a pretty good actor think that’s why Hollywood gives him so much slack haha

    Johnny Depp.

    Pirates

    I think he used to be a talented actor, but his performances in the past decade or so have been lackluster. Perhaps without the alcohol he could be really good again.

      January 11, 2016 at 3:46 pm

      Then again, there’s also the guy who played Legolas in Lord of the Rings, and he was in Pirates as well. But Lord of the Rings doesn’t appear to have a Disney connection.

      I never really thought he was talented, just cute.

      I had to google it — cute blonde elf boy is Orlando Bloom.

    Orlando Bloom

    Not sure about acting skills, he only really acts in big budget ensemble casts so it’s hard to tell. He needs to do a small budget film to be properly tested.

  30. BrightEyes says

    January 11, 2016 at 2:15 pm

    tricky – DC comics is a Warner Brothers entity, so it kinda knocks out Ben Affleck…….hmmm…I just can’t think of another recent divorcee.

    Could it be Johnny Depp…Pirates of the caribbean ??..he’s married tho… Orlando Bloom?
