Sick how his family pimped him out for a string of shitty films so they could fatten the bank accounts before the golden goose was no longer able. Articles I read said he could barely function on the last few.

Then they act so full of love. Barf.

I didn’t know the family was responsible for that, but you’re absolutely correct about his final spate of films. They’re getting thrown up on Prime/Netflix/Hulu as fast as they can. I’ve stopped watching his most recent films. He’s a zombie. Such a shame.

I read such an article. It definitely seemed they were not handling him with directors, properly.

He has been a great person to watch, over the years.

There’s not much that can be done to mitigate his condition, unfortunately.

Yeah….they could’ve just had him run for Senator. 🙃

The production companies were willing to pay the contract amount. Why not attack them, too?

As opposed to every other past-his-prime action star, who pimp themselves out for a string of sh***y films.

I think that was Bruce's idea to leave something for his family.

He had been churning out straight to dvd crap for 15 years or so. When he began losing his memory, his acting options were limited and these "film makers" were willing to work around his disabilities AND pay him millions, so there was no reason to stop.

I read he had to have his lines fed to him through an earpiece. Very sad ending to a good career.

Not sure who is responsible for what but Bruce was lucky to get any work at all considering he couldn’t act. If you read about it you see that each and every scene was a big deal to film. The movie shoots had to be fully scheduled around him.

You are not kidding. I just checked his latest work on IMBD.com. He did 21 projects between 2021 and 2022. I saw one of His Detective Knight movies not long after his diagnosis. It was bad in all respect to acting and production.
