I was just thinking bout him the other day....one actor I really like. Kind of reminded me of Tommy Lee Jones but much younger. Lucky number Slevin. :-)
Happy to see Hollywood didn’t get to his head; I wish him well.

He also passed on 2006's "Superman Returns." "I didn't want to be labeled as Superman for the rest of my career. I was maybe 22, but I saw the danger."You're a puppet, Einstein. That's your vocation.
Take the damn money and run.

No kidding. What's that Eminem song? "Lose yourself, you only get one shot...?"

Probably has enough money to not worry about it.

Well, unfortunately, this guy is still a moron:
Hartnett has been involved in various causes. In 2007, he took time out from filming to support the green lifestyle campaign of Global Cool.
In 2012, Hartnett also joined Barack Obama in his campaign in Minnesota, appearing at such events as the Minnesota Greater Together Youth Summit before formally endorsing the President on the official campaign YouTube channel.

Josh Hartnett is 35 now and mostly acts in indie films, but he was a hot commodity back in the early 2000s, and almost every big picture wanted him in the lead. "Spider-Man was something we talked about. Batman was another one. But I somehow knew those roles had potential to define me, and I didn't want that," he told Details magazine of passing on the iconic characters. He also passed on 2006's "Superman Returns." "I didn't want to be labeled as Superman for the rest of my career. I was maybe 22, but I saw the danger." He is a moron. If he had gotten those roles and made a pile of money, he could have made any number of indie films he wanted, and crowds would go to see it just because he was in it. As it is, he's deep-sixed his career over the snobbish attitudes of a bunch of poseurs.

Loved him in Hollywood Homicide, one of the funnier Harrison Ford movies.

Really, I watched 15 minutes of that and stopped. No one I was with wanted to watch it further.
To: nickcarraway
He is one of those ‘so famous’ actors that I have never head of him.

Why? Because you’ve never been in a film that’s made money except “Pearl Harbor.”

I guess he got his wish.
Minnesota was as globally cool as it’s been in 35 years.

He turned into a vampire to beat a pack of vampires in ‘Thirty Days Of Night.’ When the sun came up he got all burned up, so that had to hurt.
