6 Movie Roles That Got People Fired
1. A School Basketball Coach Was Fired For Appearing In A Suggestive Short Film - Forbidden Fruit
In 2013, Connecticut school basketball coach Mike Hvizdo (pictured left) was "encouraged" to resign from his post after a short film he appeared in a decade prior, Forbidden Fruit, resurfaced online.
The short, produced by Jack Black's former assistant Stephen Moramarco, depicted Hvizdo in a number of suggestive situations, and as a result the school decided to cut ties with him.
The short was anonymously e-mailed to the school's principal, Lisa R. Wolak, who convened a committee to decide Hvizdo's fate.
The school's official rationale? "This film is vulgar, contains offensive sexual language, and depicts sexual acts among multiple partners in which Mr. Hvizdo is a participant."
It was an undeniably raw deal for Hvizdo, for a short film which didn't actually feature any nudity or really do anything wrong, and one which was made an entire 10 years earlier.
Hvizdo promptly hired a lawyer to help clear his name, but honestly, did it actually need clearing at all? You're better off without this job, Mike.
