Line 57:
* [[Robert Downey, Jr.]] came close to entering, but then [[Career Resurrection|turned his life around]] thanks to, of all people, [[Mel Gibson]]. He's since called for the same opportunity to be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AAJuynxnTQ extended to Mel].
* Think for a moment: is there a role you wouldn't believe [[Nicolas Cage]] would take? Think for a moment more: is there something you wouldn't believe [[Nicolas Cage]] would waste his money on? The man bankrupted himself buying things like ''swords'' and ''a private island.''
* During the late 1990s and early 2000s [[Bill Murray]] acquired a body of [[Urban Legend]]s in which he would reportedly show up doing something completely unexpected -- like taking over as the bartender at a random couple's wedding or be[https://www.billmurraystory.com/2019/why-is-bill-murray-running-the-cash-register/ working the register at a convenience store] -- almost always ending with Murray winking at the witness or otherwise acknowledging he's who he is, and saying "No one will ''ever'' believe you."
