• Considering CAA did absolutely nothing to help cast his film this is pretty shocking.

• Wow. That hurts. What did WME do to cause this? Who out in Deadline land knows what happened here?

  • He left Mike Simpson? That’s absurd. Best in the business and that move is going to cost him money. No one in town makes deals like Mike.

• Gay mafia! jk. Who knows. He’s cute though. But man, if The Help was a drama, it sure was marketed like a feel good comedy about maids.

• Robin Quivers’ comments about this penny dreadful melodrama were so right on. It’s fiction, it’s retrograde, it’s white people saving black people but it didn’t even happen…she said ‘can’t this movie just go away?’
  hahahahahahaha
  racist Hollywood – gross!

• Who does he think he is… Moving to another agency where he thinks he will have better representation?
  Doesn’t he realize that his previous agents worked so hard on writing his scripts and directing his cast?
  He should show more loyalty to the people that he is paying to work for him!

• I hope he’s got some other friends who wrote books and will go to bat for him, because I don’t see anyone clamoring for his talents.
