Wow!! I forgot that you are a theatre buff. I've only seen Hamlet, Winter's Tale and the Merry Wives of Windsor on stage. I have seen lots of films though, but that is not the same. I'd love to see Kevin Spacey in Richard III at the Old Vic in London, but I don't have the money for it.
I think that is an excellent idea. I'll bet that 30% of that list will still be promising actors or up and coming in a few years time. The people with talent will always find work, perhaps not in Hollywood, but that not necessarily a bad thing.
THANKS for that link! I'm so looking forward to that film. It's good to see Mr Butler back in a good film instead of a crappy rom com and Ralph Fiennes is always a sight for sore eyes, not to mention a brilliant actor. Let's hope he can add brilliant director to his CV.
ITA Even if they screw up their careers with bad choices or with personal drama(like RDJ), they'll get some supporting roles. Or they'll go and work in the theater. Or in TV show.
Fiennes is great. I watched Hurt Locker because he and Guy Pierce were listed. I'm so glad I was tricked into watching it because it's very unlikely I would have seen it on my accord.
I know Stormare from Prison Break and Chocolate.
As for Fassy, I think we shouldn't worried about him becoming HW celeb. I found some quotes on Tumblr from this interview

where he said
and this quote is interesting too
Blueberry, Fassy needs money for all that fancy boy toys like motorcycles and cars.
That's why I respect theater actors. I have fairly good memory but I can't memorize lines, poems and such. Recitation of verbatim poems was the most stressful part of my school years :reading:
Becoming James -
It's interesting that Romola Garai worked with Michael and with quite a few of his co-stars. She was in 2 movies with James McAvoy, 1 movie with Keira Knightley, 1 TV movie with Judi Dench, 1 movie with Banderas and January Jones had couple of lines in Dirty Dancing 2(Romola was the lead). Actress who played Cassie in HEX was with Romola in mini series Emma. Now she is playing with Dominic West in BBC show called The Hour. This is like One degree of separation instead of six.

I am not saying he only got very bad parts , just compared to Hamlet with Bergman...
And I don´t think if Fassy stays in LA he can keep the Hunger / Fish Tank kind of artistic level...

I know , but as I said he is a single guy now , people usually change their priorities when they have kids , so I think when Fassy gets married and has kids , then giving his children a safe and happy childhood will be more important than motorcycles and cars...
At least I hope so...
Can´t find the interview ( anyone? ) , but he said in an interview that he want to concentrate on his career now , but when he will start a family he wants to put his wife and children first.
And it doesn´t really work if you live in LA , poor celeb kids are papped all the time. That´s no normal childhood....
And he still could film is HW , even if his home is not in LA.

In HW, most of foreign actors end up like Stormare. Casting directors put them in certain category and it's hard to break out of it.

You're right. In LA everyone is focused on profits and box office reports. Hence so many dumb movies.

Fassy comes from what it looks like normal, stable and nice family. So it's very likely he knows what it's like to have real family life.
And he still could film is HW , even if his home is not in LA.
One of A list actors(maybe Johnny Depp, I'm not sure) said once it doesn't matter where you live after you have reached certain point in your career. If you're good, somewhat known to casting directors, producers and directors, an actor can live anywhere he wants because these people will send him the scripts. Of course, Michael is not there yet. But if things go well this year, that might happen in a year or two.
I'll try to find that interview
BTW quotes I posted earlier were taken from an interview done in May 2011.
Tumblr humor LOL

That´s what I mean.
Now he has to stay in LA a lot , but later he might have the possibility to live in London or anywhere else and have a quite normal life compared to HW celeb life and still get parts.
Don´t think he wants kids now anyway , but later...
That interview is quite new , X -men related I think.
I just can´t find it.
;(
