Michael Richards hasn't worked regularly as an actor since Seinfeld went off the air, regardless of outburst

I suck at math but if he invested like a couple million from the last season in a safe interest-bearing account doesn't that kinda keep the cash flowing?

the contention wasn't about anyone going broke, it was about ppl getting work after their embarrassing racist outbursts; at any rate Richards unambiguously apologized multiple times after that incident and it had about zero impact on people's hiring decisions re: him (ie, he is still getting hired by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld and... no one else)

yeah i think w/r/t richards it's all-too-easy to suggest it destroyed his career when really, his ashen-faced appearances on tv in the weeks following his outburst were his biggest non-seinfeld roles ever.

Yes because Roman Polanski is certainly being ignored these days.

I know, I know. Just sayin' that a couple of you guys are acting like its 100% inconceivable that Hollywood would ever even acknowledge Gibson again.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 9 January 2012 22:49 (twelve years ago) link
Polanski kept making good movies, though.
...and a lot of hilariously bad or ridiculous ones

Gibson's pissed off too many people. Foster tried to help him out and failed. at this point, the only other big name probably willing to lend their credibility to a Gibson project is maybe Robert Downey Jr.

I think he's ruined because the industry of Hollywood has an image and a social narrative that it hews to really closely, and there's no room in that narrative for the redemptive third act of an artless/talentless, white, male, hetero, racist, wifebeating drunk - reformed or otherwise. "Industry Warmly Accepts a Reformed Gibson" is not a headline any Hollywood player wants to write.
― The Silent Extreme (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 9 January 2012 22:57 (twelve years ago) link
all things considered, Polanski had several cards in his favor that Gibson does not
― The Silent Extreme (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 9 January 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
well liked by his peers, sympathy over the Tate murder, his amazing run of canonical films in the 70s, the ambiguity of the charges/public calls for forgiveness by the victim etc
― The Silent Extreme (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 9 January 2012 22:59 (twelve years ago) link
Okay Shakey, the Polanski call out was just a tossed off comment. I do understand why his case is hugely different.
I don't really want to argue about this anymore becaue I too hope Gibson is never heard from again, but I fear thats wishful thinking.

idk wasn't there press of his kinda modest rehabilitation, w r downey jr & some pals at some award ceremony. if the guy was likely to make another zillion dollar faith movie or something i'm sure people would be all over him. i feel like there's a weird thing where he can now exist just with the by-now-familiar tag of 'asshole' attached to him, it prob makes it easier for him to occasionally be caught being an asshole w/o too much fallout
― quick brown fox triangle (schlump), Monday, 9 January 2012 23:03 (twelve years ago) link
he had been existing comfortably with that tag since at least the Lethal Weapon movies, I don't see why he needed to escalate

the Beaver was his gambit for serious redemption, and if it had done well/been good H'wood probably would've welcomed him back a bit - but that didn't happen
for what it's worth, I was surprised he sawed off his forearm for his role in the Beaver. how's he going to beat his wife now?

Important detail in the racist receipt story: “Some of the tweets I’ve gotten back are, ‘Why are you going to Papa John’s when you live in New York City?’” she said.

yeah so hilariously the thing that is keeping mg from redemption is the quality of his movies, the quality of movies that star mel gibson

Mel Gibson was in some very good movies!
I mean, I know he was in even more terrible ones, but still.
