  • Actors that help

    Not sure what section of the forum to put this, but - I was thinking about leads (male and female) that not only can act, but can help turn that light to green... any thoughts?

    For what purpose?

      He's certainly the most popular African American actor working today, undoubtedly.

        Race doesn't even enter into it. Will Smith is popular, period. His box office record speaks for itself and cuts across a huge variety of demographics.

          Denzel and Jamie Foxx beg to differ. Will doesn't have Oscar, you know!

            Those actors with their own production companies can obviously help greenlight projects if they can afford them...Mel Gibson, Reese Witherspoon, etc.

            I want to make a graphic biblical picture and it'll make 300 million dollars.

            STUDIO CHIEF
            Ha!

            MEL
            And after that I want to shoot a pic in the jungle only it won't be in English, it'll be in ancient Mayan.

            STUDIO CHIEF
            You're on your own, but I warn you, it'll drive you to drinking.

              For lower budget movies, far less famous actors can help get you funding because they help get overseas distribution or whatever.

              But I don't know what actors precisely would help in that regard -- if you can talk to producers or distributors they'd be able to give you some names.

                I think Will Smith has taken over Tom Cruise as the actor you could guarantee would give you a big B.O. opening.

                  Will Smith is the number one movie star in the world, period.

                  A question about "what stars will help my movie get made" is kinda tough to answer if no one knows what roles you're trying to cast.

                    He is. I just can't get over the fact that I met him in a studio when I was fourthteen with Jeff. He was a rapper! How is he the number one actor in the world and he NEVER planned on acting. Unbelieveable!
