This famous actor was Jonathan Demme's first choice to play Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. He probably turned it down after he realized that Lecter ate the liver with a nice chianti, instead of a martini.

The Academy Awards have been famous over the years for political grandstanding by winners who have used their acceptance speech as a soap box for their political beliefs. One of the most infamous moments involved a winner, who during her acceptance speech, went on a long diatribe against Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. To a predominantly Jewish audience, this did not sit well. Who was the actress who made the polarizing acceptance speech?

[Kathy]

This Academy Award winning actor turned down the role of Mr. Orange/Vic Vega in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. He probably was upset that the soundtrack's songs didn't have enough cowbell.
