Contrary to popular belief, Rob Schneider is the funniest, most tallented man in hollywood but has always had a mortal fear of being "player hated" on by his piers, so he consistantly plays down his tallent.

Robert Downey Jnr used to be a champion polo player. Only when he saw the film Baby's Day Out was he inspired to be an actor.

Bill Paxton can only be seen on celluloid. He cannot be made out with the naked eye, nor any other recording medium. Scientists have been working for the past 25 years to try and answer why this is, but no one knows. It is believed when thsi riddle is solved, we will also know definitively whether god exists, as it's suspected that's what Bill Paxton's skin is made from.

All scientific experimenents and advancements have been to create something so brilliant, so perfect and so undeniably cool. These experiments came to an end when scientists saw Clint Eastwood's face, as they knew that no matter what they achieved... it would never reach these heights.

The movie "Conspiracy Theory" starring Mel Gibson was in fact amassive box office success that even eclipsed "Titanic" but actual conspicacy theorists set about to ruin and discredit the flick from day one of its release . Conspiritors in the American film industry
doctored the books and ticket sales were falsely reported . A source on the inside who we only know as Elvis says " uh huh yeah its a doggone dirty shame uh huh".

Mark Whalberg took the role of Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights thinking the movie was a prequel to Saturday Night Fever. Imagine his surprise when , already having taken months of disco lessons , he was expected to become a well endowed porn star. He recalls in a recent interview :
"I turn up on the first shoot and some a*$hole sez drop yo pants an im like ok , which i do an the next thing i know every **ker is clapping some prosthetics guy whos like "no no i aint done nothin yet thats all him" an im like "Get the f@ck outta here" , which is when we all realise the mistake an yunno im ready to go to work..... Jeeez."

Vince Vaughan needs a lot of make up. He has only ever appeared in a movie without the correct amount as the main villian in Men In Black, he just about go away with it cos he went under an alias of Vincent D'Onofro

Poor old Jon Bon Jovi must be sick of being typecast cos of his lovely long locks , apart from his Oscar winning performance in "Erin Brockowich" hes been resigned to roles that dont show his full potential. Things got off to a good start for him when he won the role of Bruce Willis wife in the Die Hard movies but apart from his Oscar winning turn in Bronkovic
things havnt been too good. Hes been living on a prayer with roles like Jar Jar Binks in the
Star Wars and giving love a bad name as the bunny boiler in Fatal Attraction.He came back in a blaze of glory for a minute in U571 playing a Mermaid.
More recently hes been seen playing Davy Jones in the recent Monkees biopic oddly called
"Pirates of the Carribean dead mans chest" but for some reason he didnt even get to sing.
Things are looking up for Jon though, hes been cast as Lyra in "The Golden Compass", which could see Jon back to award winning ways - a la Bruncobich - as Lyra is a 12 year old girl.
Lets hope its a turning point for him cos up to now it aint been ... a bed of roses.

Nice to see ya Keyser , thought i was keepin this thread alive by myself. Dont like what your sayin bout the mighty VV though. Not many people realise years ago he had a bit part in
"Alive" which required him to provide his own body parts to be frozen in the snow for the survivors to eat , it was an uncredited early role.

The monkey in Raiders of the Lost Ark was actually a well established Shakespearian stage actor who felt the role was beneath him. He only took the role because he was promised a larger part but the footage was later cut out and a look a like monkey was hired to play the death scene.

James Woods has his own marching band. He has them perform for his family and friends when ever someone mentions the mystery word. Last time it was known to have been "Savlon".

The 'director' Uwe Boll is actually an alias for Michael Bay. He has realised his movies are getting so bad he employed a hobo he saw outside Argos in Grimsby to pose as the director whenever he does publicity.

Ron Perlman is actually Royalty. He is in fact, 17th in line to be the King of England!

Will Ferrell, David Hassellhoff, Vince Vaughn, Vincent D'Inorfrio and David Spade were all artificially inseminated and were all born from the womb of a Bull Mastiff. David Spade is obviosly the runt of the litter and is beleived he will not live passed his 41st birthday......... the universe will end on this day!

"Tom Cruise" is actually an anagram of "John McClane". Cruise was origionally offered the part of McClane in Die Hard, but turned the part down for supersititious reasons arising from this.

Christian Bale has never blinked.

Lassie actually won an Oscar in 1943 for "Lassie come home" but turned it down in protest cos he was not allowed on the red carpet in case he soiled it or shed hairs . Fellow nominee
in the same year Humphrey Bogart was so annoyed and upset at losing out to a canine he
promptly ran outside onto the said red carpet and promtly took a dump which he then spread over the carpet with the thick black/grey hairs on his back.

Cameron's supposed dream of being chased by a robot (thus influencing him to write The Terminator) wasn't a dream but actually happened. In the next few years Fox will be on the verge of bankruptcy thanks to Avatar's budget and the execs will decide to terminate Cameron before his film career takes off.

(If you look closely you can see the Fox trademark on the right bumcheek.)

Bruce Campbell is the best reverse-acting actor in the world due to the fact that he acts in reverse by default and all of his foward actions are actually in reverse. When Sam Raimi discovered this, he found an engenius way to do cheap SFX shots for his Evil Dead movies and but at the cost that he never reveal this secret.

After having filmed The Matrix movies Keanu Reeves hired a large staff to actually walk and act in slow motion whenever he extended his arm and said "No."

At one point in time (shortly after the Basic Instinct VHS release) such a large population of people paused the infamous crotch shot at EXACTLY the same time that Sharon Stone had an Earth shattering orgasm.

Rick Moranis once wrote and directed a never seen Punisher movie as it was considered too graphic for audiences.
