    Interesting that he and Wahlberg have the same agent: Allegedly Damon got the role in the OCEANS movies because Mark turned down it down.

    • @kevinw712
      @kevinw712 Před 3 lety

      no, not turned it down. Clooney did originally have Wahlberg in mind for the Linus role since they'd just come off a good working experience in The Perfect Storm, but Wahlberg was already committed to Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake. A decision I'm sure he has no regrets over whatsoever lol.. just shows you how much of this business gets played out just from lucky timing, radically altered the rest of Damon's career. Wahlberg's plenty busy and successful, but still.
      Clooney in fact even had great desire and intention on having Noah Wyle part of the Ocean's team (which part's never been known, my best guess is Livingston Dell), but again foiled by scheduling. Wyle had way too much "ER" stuff in that span. Though Clooney had been off entirely being a movie star for like 3yrs, he and Wyle always had a great working relationship and friendship that stayed. Don't forget he had Wyle in the role of the President's Russian interpreter in the special live staging of "Fail Safe" in 2000 that Clooney produced.

  • @kevinw712

    funny thing given that Fincher story he tells about the extra on Gone Girl, there's a scene in Fight Club that Fincher, Pitt and Norton when even talking together on the DVD's commentary track, Fincher chuckles pointing out what is to be fair some rather broad physical overacting. when Norton and HBC first talk at the one meeting, two other group members in the background supposed to be comforting each other, one looks like he's more convulsing than crying.

      People sleep on Browner , he was huge for the Pats . Seattle WR Chris Matthews was killing the Pats in the 1st Half - straight torching Kyle Arlington. Browner went to BB @ Halftime & said “I’m takin Matthews “ . The 6’4” WR went from SB MVP with +100Yards & a TD to 1 catch for 3 yards against Browner . Furthermore, as you stated it was Browner’s Jam on Kearse , not allowing him off the Line & therefore unable to Pick Butter , that made the whole play possible. Brady was sensational , Edelman ,Vereen ,& Gronk came up big , Butler’s INT will forever live in SB lore , but without Browner shutting down Matthews & the Jam on Kearse , Seattle would’ve won
