Guy Pearce Says He Never Acted in Chris Nolan Films After ‘Memento’ Because a Warner Bros. Exec Disliked His Acting and Said: ‘I’m Never Going to Employ’ You


Guy Pearce says he has never acted in a Christopher Nolan movie since 2000's "Memento" because a Warner Bros. executive hated his acting.

Guy Pearce revealed in a new interview with Vanity Fair that he was blocked from starring in Christopher Nolan movies after 2000’s “Memento” because a Warner Bros. executive just didn’t like his acting. Pearce said this particular Warner Bros. executive “just didn’t believe in me as an actor,” which blocked him from acting in Nolan movies like “Batman Begins” even though the director had him fly to London to read for the role of Ra’s al Ghul. Pearce, meanwhile, is expected to land an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor this season thanks to his acclaimed role in “The Brutalist.” Read his full interview with Vanity Fair here.
