This muthafucka had to be paid years ago and was banging dimes galore. At least Joaquin Phoenix had acting to fall back on, but even he killed that scthick after it failed a few years ago. Damn money.
No offense taken. Especially because your post is unmerited, and inaccurate.
He still does movies. We discussed doing a tour, and he had to cancel because he accepted a movie role coming up. He gets good paper off that Scary Movie/Date Movie/Disaster Movie series. He also does other stuff.
Hollywood is one of the most cutthroat, difficult industries to make it in. A lot of people don't even succeed in half of the ways Simon has. You are sitting at your desk creating these assumptions that he is some wigger who's acting career bottomed out, so he started listening to hip-hop (mainly Eminem and Bubba Sparx), learned a few cool hip-hop buzzwords and decided to take a stab at the rap thing. Which honestly, couldn't be more incorrect.
He knows his shit. And his Dirt Nasty project has an actual fan base, of people who legitimately enjoy the music. He gets all sorts of pussy (Paris Hilton, Jamie Presley), and in fact just playing the show and rolling around Kansas City with him has opened up an entirely new realm of KC girls for me.
Gloss you gotta stop judging people by their level of iconic success. The industry is not as black and white as you sometimes seem to think it is. There is a huge, lucrative grey area in between being a huge star and a huge failure.
Shit is different now. Its
been different. People like Matthew Lillard and Jay Mohr make a very good living, doing supporting roles in moderately budgeted films and tv shows. There are tons of people in Hollywood who are not A-listers, that still make a really good living doing various projects, and working hard.
Brian Dennehy man.
