A-List Potential, F-Grade Agents

Posted Jul 22, 08 4:13 PM CDT in Opinion,  Arts & Living 

(Newser) – James Caviezel has gone from playing Jesus in Passion of the Christ to “a dragon hunter from another planet” in next year’s Outlander, Spencer Martin notes on the Playlist. Who else should have fire their agents for such moves?

  1. Heather Graham. Success: Drugstore Cowboy, Boogie Nights, Austin Powers. Failure: Committed, Say It Ain’t So, Miss Conception.
  2. Lucy Liu. Success: Charlie’s Angels, Kill Bill. Failure: Lucky Number Slevin, Code Name: The Cleaner.

  1. Cuba Gooding Jr. Success: Jerry Maguire. Failure: Everything else he’s ever done.
  2. Adrien Brody. Success: The Pianist, The Darjeeling Limited. Failure: The Jacket, The Village.
