10 Actors Whose Craziness Got Them Kicked Out Of Hollywood

7. Wesley Snipes

There's nothing normal about Wesley Snipes, whose Hollywood career has since come to a total standstill on account of two things: one, he recently served time for tax evasion. Two, he's not on the same planet as the rest of the population, given his questionable behaviour in recent years - behaviour which means that Hollywood has stopped calling. Take, for example, what went down on the set of Blade: Trinity. Snipes reportedly refused to shoot scenes on a whim, and demanded that everyone refer to him by his character's name. He reportedly spent most of the production process smoking cannabis in his trailer, and even accused the director of the movie of racism for literally no reason. He also called Ryan Reynolds names. Poor Ryan Reynolds - the real victim in all this. So Snipes is both washed-up and crazy, then; not exactly a winning combination if ever there was one. Pretty much everything he's done in the past 10 years has been released straight-to-DVD - a real sign of the times. And yet not a single person is bothered.
