Yes, it even happens in Hollywood. Actors get let go for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes before shooting begins. Disagreements run the gamut. Sometimes it's for the best. Sometimes not.

So we ask you, what one Movie or TV Show do you think would have benefited the most if the listed actor was not fired from the production?

Poll is loosely based on this article in Marie Claire by Alex Warner and Adam Schubak

Artistically, It was pretty stupid to fire Kevin Spacy.

In terms of appearance/Business, it was the only decision that they could have made.


Maybe my sources aren't up to date, but as far as I know, the charges were dropped against him because the alleged victim died.

I feel bad that his career ended like that, it seems pretty unfair.

cinephile, then again, Kevin Spacey nowadays is a very odd case.

Last time I heard it's not just that case was dropped thanks to witness dying. He keeps releasing odd and cryptic video messages which are seemingly in-character, but are somewhat pointing at the fact that witness got killed as if they're addressed, first and foremost, to someone who's compromised by his situation.

This is the exact reprint from the article.

It's hard to think of anyone else other than Michael J. Fox playing the beloved role of Marty McFly—but Stoltz was the actor originally cast to play the part. A few weeks into filming, the directors realized Stoltz wasn't giving them the energy they wanted to bring to the character. They planned to fire him and replace him with Fox, but it couldn't happen right away. Poor Stoltz continued working for four weeks without knowing his days as Marty McFly were numbered.
