Did 'big name' studios blacklisted him or something?


I mean, damn, in the 90's, Bruce was one of the biggest things on earth, 20 mil $ per movie. What happened? I mean it's impossible to stay on top for your whole life and many big name actors had their ups and downs, but it seems that excluding very few big name movies over the last like 15+ years, he's been only in like Z grade crap in like 5 movies each year. I wish he came back with something better

He supposedly, once spoke in a derogatory way toward labor unions on a late-night talk show years ago and that film crews didn't like him because of it.

He shares the same birthday as Harvey Weinstein. Perhaps they partied together too many times.

Given his recent diagnosis of aphasia, his lack of activity in recent years can probably be attributed to health reasons.

Most big time actors fall off the earth once they get older. The audience stops caring about them, or the studios do, and sometimes the type of roles that made them famous aren't suitable for them anymore because they're too old.
