"As great as Ed is, the wisdom out here is that he can't carry a movie. They'll pay him $3 million to be the second banana in Julia Roberts things. But they won't put up $3 million for an Ed Harris movie"
- George A. Romero
About this Quote
This quote by George A. Romero is describing the star Ed Harris and his ability to carry a film. It is suggesting that although Ed Harris is a fantastic star, he is not viewed as a leading star who can bring a motion picture. Rather, he is viewed as a "second banana" in motion pictures starring other actors, such as Julia Roberts. This means that although he is paid well for his roles, he is not seen as a bankable star who can generate the box workplace numbers. Therefore, studios are not going to invest the very same quantity of money in an Ed Harris film as they would in a motion picture starring a more recognized actor.
This quote is written / told by George A. Romero somewhere between February 4, 1940 and today. He/she was a famous Director from USA.
