Quote HistoryQuoted:
Who was the actor on a cop show who "got too big for his britches" and demanded MUCH more $$ than the show would pay him so he walked, vowing to be a huge movie star instead. Virtually nothing since. Red haired guy, I think his partner on the show was a black guy--Hill Street Blues maybe? Seems like his first name was David--maybe David Caruso? It's been a while. Edit: Googled, yeah that's him, but it was "NYPD Blue." He has done some stuff since, but nothing big. Pretty sure George Eads of CSI fame did the same thing. I think he made one movie then had to go back to CSI. |

Chappelle got tired of the network pushing him in directions he didn't want to go. He got tired of the success and all the BS that goes with it, so he took a break and now does stand up like he wants to do. I think his show and him are hilarious but gotta respect him for doing what he wants. Hes got enough money. |

To some extent Gen Petraeus as CIA director and getting busted banging that media woman and all that. Although I'd say he already lead an amazing career but never the less, he fucked himself. That was a hit. He did what many other men have done regarding the woman, and he was much less loose with intel than the Hildebeest. That was battlespace prep for 2016. Someone thought he would be a winning candidate. |

I can only remember one politically themed episode from the Stevenson era. It wouldn't surprise me though. For that matter we ought to add Alan Alda. After MASH he did very little, mostly because he was "All Left, All The Time." ETA: Hell, how about Gary Burghoff? For that matter damned near no one from that show had a good follow on career, with the possible exception of David Ogden Stiers doing a lot of Disney voice work. |
