Four For Friday - Buh Bye

This foreign born B- list mostly movie actor is only this high because he did win an Academy Award. Without it he would be at D list by now. He was kind of a one movie wonder. During that big award season he ticked off studios right and left with a huge diva attitude only matched by his actress wife. They paraded through town going to event after event demanding more and more things and even had a rider they had their agent present before they would agree to an appearance. He complained about the studios while at the same time asking studios to pay him $20M to act and direct in a new movie. Still, though, he was hot so they gave him a big budget movie to act and direct in. Total bomb. Horrible. The studios though, didn't care. They were so happy to have an excuse to never talk to him or work with him again. He and his wife have never worked in Hollywood again.

Roberto Begnini

Kno Won Uno said...

It's either him or Christoph Waltz.
Neither has many directing credits. Waltz is married to a costume designer.

Kno Won Uno said...

Did he direct anything after "Life is Beautiful"? He was so obnoxious at that Oscars show. Ick.
I liked the film,. though.

I think Benigni's big follow up fail was Pinocchio(acted/directed). Then really nothing and last credit is 2012(Woody's film To Rome with Love).

Kno Won Uno said...

I'm not sure this behavior is awful or unusual enough to warrant virtual banishment and shunning.

Derek Harvey said...

Bomb that he directed was The Players---directly after
won the Oscar in 2012, Players came-out in 2013


Benini won in 1997 and Pinochio did not come out till 2002

Robero Begnini, with Pinnochio as the bomb back in 2002

*Roberto Benigni

Felicity said...

Roberto B. Pinocchio was a disaster and he and his producing partner/actress wife are known to be demanding.
JDJ is divorced and still works a lot.

Signing on to Benigni - he came to mind instantly. Good work @MontanaMarriot!

James said...
