shareGood question
shareI couldn't find anything that said there was an actor fired that originally had Spacey's role. This is the only actor replacement on Se7en I could find any info about.
incorrect info removedshare
Did you use a bot for this? Ermey was NOT replaced, he still played the captain and actually has one rather funny scene in this extremely depressing movie. Roundtree played the district attorney, which is a totally different part. The two even shared a scene together.
shareI asked AI and that is what it told me. That's what you get for trusting AI. I saw the movie when I was a teenager so it's been a while.
shareActor Tom Hulce
David F liked him in The Inner Circle and had seen a work print of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and offered him the part.
However, Tom Hulce struggled with alcoholism and was not able to followed David Finchers requirement for several takes per scene and he was fired.
He retired from acting in the mid-1990s, after Seven, to focus "on stage directing and producing"
Kevin got a call and was on set the next day.
I would love to see some outtakes Tom Hulce as JD
