You take the blue pill, you wake up on your bed, and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill, you take a big step back, and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE.
Silver appears on-screen at the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit as Raoul J. Raoul, the director of the animated short Something’s Cookin. Raoul loses his temper at toon Roger Rabbit for seeing tweety birds when a refrigerator crashes on his head, and not stars as the script specified. This was a prank Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis pulled on then-Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, as Eisner and Silver had despised each other since their days at Paramount Pictures in the early 1980s, especially with the issues they faced making 48 Hrs. Silver trimmed his beard off, paid his expenses, and asked to not have his name in initial cast lists. Reportedly, when production wrapped, because Silver was unrecognizable, Eisner questioned who played Raoul and was told it was Silver, at which point, Eisner shrugged and praised his performance.
Honestly sounds like he was a pretty good sport about having that reputation.

Scrolling through that list, it seems that he’s a guy that someone(s) else knows “will fucking love this script”… 😏
What’s your favorite food?
Yes.
Wait, most people haven’t heard of Joel Silver?
I mean, of course we know who the inventor of ultimate frisbee is, I just didn’t know he was a Hollywood guy, too.
I had, but I hadn’t thought about him in a long while. Plus i forgot half the movies he’s worked on.
That was some great acting on his part for that character
I still believe it is the best performance of Tom Cruise’s career.
Why?
Because at the first time I saw the movie, I never recognized him
Same here. It wasn’t until the credits rolled I was like WHAT?!
I agree. He is one of those actors who always plays himself in whatever film he’s in.
100% his best role ever.
That chest hair is still in my nightmares
Hopefully he has calmed the fuck down before his heart gives out.
